DYNAMITE IN WAR.
Edison Says 1t will Enable Maceo To Re-
main Master of the Situation.

New York, Novem Der 30.-A morning
paper publishes the following views of
Thomas A. Edison on the plans of the
Cubans for laying deadly mines for the
Spaniards, and how the explosives can
be best placed for effectiveness
Maceo has tons Of dynamite, and a
score or more of men who know how to
handle the explosives to the very best ad-
vantage" said Mr.. Edison, yesterday, in
his laboratory at Orange, n. j. GAS long
as Maceo makes proper use of his supply
Of dynamite he will remain master of
the situation. To plant field with
dynamite is all easy task. All you have
to do is to make a series of shallow
guttors or burrows from one end to the
other. In these burrows, which need not
be more than six inches deep, lay an in
sulated wire. Then plant the water
proof dynamite cartridges and connect
the fuses with the wire. There should
be space of thirty or forty feet between
each cartridge. The insulated wires are
connected with other wires which stretch
from the mine to some point mile or
TWO away. III these wires are buried
and as there Is little or no grass land in
this section of Cuba, 1t is not difficult to
restore the surface of the field to it's
former condition. The cartridges take
up little room, and are easily secresed in
the sandy soil. Each cartridge contains
about q ton of dynamite, and resembles
large banana. They are worth about
fifty cents each.
"After the wires are laid and the car
tridges adjusted the electrician In charge
simply connects the other end of the
communicating wire with small ten
cell battery and is ready for the work.
From the crest of hill or the top of a
tree, and armed with a strong field glass,
he awaits for the enemy. He may be two
but at any rate he is far enough away to
be cut of danger. When the enemy
reaches the field the electrician signals to
his commanding officer, who in turn
signals to him. The electrician simply
presses a button, the dynamite buried in
that distant field does the Test. The re-
suits of such all explosion, or series of
can be exploded in succession, are simply
frightful. Persons who are standing
thirty or forty feet from the cartridge
will be killed, although their bodies may
not reveal scratch.
Dynamite has been used for years in
the mines OF Cuba. The Cubans know
that it is gu absurdly cheap but wonder
fully effective factor in modern warfare.
Maceo has probably planted ever, pass

and his mon follow him they will be
literally blown to atoms. The battles of
future wars must Of necessity be fought
at long range. The introduction of dyne-
mite guns and torpedoes and the success
of Maceo's cartridge plant demonstrate
in my opinion that such material is
more than valuable for purposes Of de-
fence, but of comparatively little value
in an offensive campaign, At any rate
this theory seems Co apply to General
Weyler in his recent campaign"
