Gently discovered and confscated a
large quantity OF revolvers and rife
shells concealed in barrels of Goldfish
and destined for the neighboring re-
public. ~
TWO arrests were made following
conhscation Of the ammunition, but
when the grand jury investigation fol-
lowed 1t was discovered that although
the smuggling Of ammunition into
santo Domingo was prohibited there
was no punishment provided by the
law prohibiting it.
During the administration of ex-
President Roosevelt, congress adopted
a joint resolution authorizing the
president to issue proclamation for
bidding, the sending of munitions OF

proclamation was the only prohibition
on record. Officials here believe the
systematic trafficking in munitions has
been broken up.

steamship City Of Savannah and the
coastguard cutter Acushet today llur-
ried to the assistance of the steamship
Maryland, which wired shortly after
midnight stating that she was sinking
and asking immediate aid. The Mary
land gave her position as about $50
miles east of Sandy Hook.
Since the first call for help, which
was picked up by wireless stations in
this city and at the naval station at
Newport News. r. l., no further word
has been received from the MARYLAND
and 1T is believed the vessels wire
less has been put out of commission
owing to the flooding of the engine
room and consequent lack of power.
Although two steamships named
Maryland are listed In the maritime
register, one British vessel of 2,9s2
tons and the other an American of
1882 tons, 1t is believed it is the latter
vessel in distress off the coast. The
American ship left Philadelphia De-
cember % for London with a cargo of
oil. iron pipe. paper and miscellaneous
merchandise. She was owned 'by the
