DOM|N|CANS DISARMED
BY j. S. MARINES

| SANTO DOMINGO CITY, Domini
can Republic, March 6.--Almost three
months has not been sufficient time
/ for the United States marines. COM
prising the forces of the temporary
military occupation. to gather in all
the arms in the republic as provided
in one of the first orders issued by
Capt. II. S. Knapp. L. S. navy, acting
head of the temporary government,
which called for the volunteer surren-
der of all arms, ammunition and ex-
plosiyes. and the search is still in pro-
gress.
Just how many arms have been vol.
UNFAIRLY surrendered, how many have
been obtained by means of search by
marines and how many more there
may yet be undelivered to the military
authorities, is something that no one
here attempts to guess. The authori.
ties have not announced how many
arms they have so far collected in all,
although it is known that in certain
districts many thousand revolvers and
rifles have been surrendered to them
or seized.
But persons familiar with the Dom
inican desire TO possess arms express
the belief that it will be next TO i'm
possible ever to bring about a state o.
complete disarmament here.
1T has been most common to SEE
gentlemen at balls, or other enter
tainments, armed not only with a re
yolyer but a knife and dagger" &C
cording TO man who has resided her,
for more than thirty years. "A re
yolyer was as much a part of a gen
tlcman's attire as his shoes or hi
shirt. Everybody was armed"
All fire arms are strictly forbidden
in Santo Domingo by the Dominican
laws, except as imported by the gov
eminent for government use. Blu
J there has never been much difficult,
in obtaining either arms or ammuni
ton and many persons have grow
rich dealing in his class of contra
nahd. Smuggling direct from the Unit
ed States or from Haiti or Porto Ric
, has been carried on for years, despit
the law, il is said and a good reyolye
, was considered worth almost il
weight in good United States none,
Reyolvers costing S12 or 81 in III
United States could be had here onl
: at prices ranging from S35 to $50. An
munition, though prohibited. could /
purchased at like increases in price.
Most OF the firearms so far gathe
ed in by the marines have been {
ancient vintage, many of them so oil
and of designs that military officer
says they never before saw anythin
like them. Quantities OF ammunitio
have been found which have not bee
manufactured since the time of tn
Civil war.
