Smuggle Guns from New York.

The government of Columbia, which is reported to have bought two modern warships in Europe, is gathering up all the rapid fire guns for sale at New York. It has also bought four rifled cannon in that city. As the insurgents are paying high prices for arms and ammunition speculators in the West Indies and in Central and South American countries, whq are smuggling the stores into Colombia and Venezuela, are getting much of their material from New York and the dangerous stuff is being shipped as fireworks.
