A court in the staid old German
Town OF Gotha has been called upon
to decide novel question. A gentle
man whileplaying cards with party
OF friends In a beer-hall was assaulted
by pretty waiter-girl with malice
afore-thought and with smacking
kiss upon his manly cheek. The
matter was at first treated as a joke,
but turned out to be q rather serious
affair for the kissee, when his wife
heard about 1t. His irate spouse
would not believe that the kiss was an
unprovoked affair, so far as her liege
lord was concerned, and in order to
vindicate himself he has brought a
suit against the girl for damages on
the ground that the kiss had injured
his reputation for morality.

ANOTHER AWFUL FIGHT.
OVER A THOUSAND cHILIANs
SLAIN IN BATTLE.
Col. RobIcs with 400 Men Attacks
n Body OF Rebels and Nearly All
or Hls Force Are KILLED.

London cablegram: The Times has n
dispatch from Santiago giving an Official
version of the recent battle In Chile. From
this IL appears Col. Robles, who com.
manded the Government troops the 9Th
inst, being short Of provisions, rashly
abandoned strong position on Mount
Sebastopol aud with ,20J infantry. $50
cavalry, and a few guns attacked a force
Of 2, 500 rebels.
At critical moment the enemy, by a
decoy truce for parley, opened fire at
close quarters, killing or wounding two
thirds of the government troops. Col
Robles was shot in the foot early In the
battle. He secured another mount after
the bullet had been extracted II ON tho
wound, but he was again wounded in the side
and was placed In an ambulance. The
te's captured the ambulance. and then
their leader threatened to shoot all who
were with the wounded man unless Col
Robles was indicated to him. An at
tendant pointed out Col. Robes
whereupon the colonel was fred
at by the rebels, being rid
dled with eleven balls besides being
hacked with bayonets. A general massa-
ere of wounded officers ensued. OF the
the wounded men 264 were allowed to
proceed to Valparaiso, but permission was
refused to send the body of Col. Robels
here. The loss of insurgents is estimated
at 200 killed and 400 wounded. Their ac-
count of the battle cannot be procured at
present.
President Balmaceda admits the grav-
ity Of the disaster, which places the prov
ince of Tarapaca entirely in the hands OF
the insurgents, The President says, how

Judgment shaking the nerves OF the
timid. and possibly interfering with
the condition necessary to catch
quickly and clearly the words OF COM
mand. Smoke volumes break and
shut up sound. and in their absence
there will be need of greater calm
ness, the strain on the mind
will be more severe, the disci-
pline required will have to be more
rigid, the attention will have to be
more concentrated, lest the far-dis-
tant should attract and disturb. All
this will come with training, OF which
there will have to be q considerable
amount, involving much waste Of
powder before our troops will be fit to
fight with an enemy using smokeless
gunpowder. Indeed, 1t will be for
some time necessary to train the
soldier to engage in the old as
we'll as the new battle, with an enemy
making great smoke, IS well
as with an enemy making none at all.
Accordingly, the new powder will not
BIO all gain, and IL will impose good
deal OF extra work and anxiety.
1t is by no means clear what the
issue would be if two bodies of soldiers,
equal in other respects, were using
different forms of gunpowder. The
advantages of quick firing and clear
sight might not long be with the
smokeless weapons, and in the thick
of q melee, troops trained In the
smokeles system might be somewhat
bewildered. On the other hand, es-
pecially with artillery, massed or in
detachment, and of fairly long range.
the use of smOkeless powder would I'M
doubtedly be an advantage, not only
as regards rapid and accurate firing,
but rs Offering less aim to an
enemy, obscured by his own smoke
and with nothing but sound
to guide him. With armies
using smokeless powder, it may
be that one of its early effects will be
to affect the color M the soldiers
dress, subduing it in tone, and 80 de-
priving the battlefield III another Of
its picturesque elements. Judging
distances by colors will become most
important feature in military training,
and more attention will be needed to
perfect sight at such ranges az the diff
ferent arms in use will carry. How
this may affect a people afflicted with
short sight will become very grave
question indeed, not wholly to be
settled by the employment Of artificial
aid. Maneuvers will take place over
larger areas before actual fighting be-
gins, and something of an Indians
craft and natural keenness will be
needed on the part Of staff officers. =
