the Spanish government has repre-

stock and ammunition to be used in

A special from st. Louis. Mo-. says:
"A local powder firm which makes the
manufacture and sale of dynamite a
speciality. received a telegram from its
agent in New Orleans asking the price
on 10 tons Of dynamite. The quantity
was so large that the local firm wired
to its New Orleans agent for vertical
ton of this telegram. The answer came
in a hurry. and with it an intimation
that the dynamite was wanted in New
Orleans for shipment to Cuba as quick
ly as possible. The shipment Of so
large quantity Of dynamite from this
country to Cuba would not be allowed II
the United States government could
prevent it, hence the secrecy as to the
identity Of the firm.

SOME HOT FIGHTING
Reported Between Weyler's Forces and the
Patriots in Cuban Mills.

New York. Nov. Pa passenger on the
steamship City of Washington. which ar
rived today. from Havana. says that in
the recent engagement near Mount Ru-
bia. between the Spaniards and insurgent
forces headed by Gen. Maceo. the Span
iards moved toward the mountains in
three attachments, one of 5000. another
of 10000. and the third of 10000. the latter
being led by Gen. Weyler.
The detachment of 5000 reached the
mountains first. and after heavy fighting
was repulsed by Maceo's force. with 700
wounded. but it is not known how many
dead. When the detachment of 1000 un-
der Gen. Echegaua arrived the enemy
had disappeared. and Gen. Weyler did not
have chance to smell powder.
1t appears that Maceo had another en-
gagement west of Mount Rubia, in which
1900 Spanish troops were injured. Seven
hundred wounded were brought into Ha-
Nana.

Secretary of. War Lamont has written
letter to the Senate Committee on mill
tary affairs giving the reasons why he
opposes making Gen. Miles a Lieutenant
General. Mr.. Lamont reviews the his
tory of ths grade and shows that only six
officers of the army have held it. all of
them men who had commanded the
whole or % separate army in battle or
campaign. The office was created in 1898,
and Gen. Washington was appointed to
it. 1t ceased with his death, and was not
revived again until great many years
after, when the title was conferred upon
Gen. Scott. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan
and Scholfeld are the only other officers
who have held it. "Noting," concludes
Mr.. Lamont, THAT the grade of Lieu
tenant-General has not been regarded as
a permanent office necessary to our army
organization, and has been conferred
only upon few of those officers who
have rendered marked service in war !;
that the complimentary rank when be-
slowed has often been withheld until
long after the demonstration of this SUI
perior ability, and has only boen voted
as reward of great military genius and
most conspicuous leadership, the oonclu-
sion is reach I'D that whatever the merits
and promise of any officer of our peace
establishment who as yet have had no
opportunity to demonstrate his genius
and capacity as commander of large ar
mics, by the measure heretofore re-
qnired, and the existing conditions do
not demand its revival at this time.'
The Seoretary's position seems to be well
taken. The grade was created in the
first instance for soldier who had won
world wide distinction by conducting
the American revolution to a successful
issue. Each time it has been revived
has been for the purpose for comforting
especial honor upon SOME officer who had
rendered extraordinary services. Gen.
Miles is brave and competent soldier,
no doubt; but he has never shown, per-
haps because he has never had the oppor-
tunity to show, that he deserves to rank
with Washington, Scott, Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan.
