In fact, the war is one waged by boys
against men. Anyone who sees a squad
OF recruits brought into Spanish gar
risOn town will be astonished at their
youth. In our own civil war a good
many boys and very young men enlisted,
but In the commands they were mixed
with men Of all ages. In the Spanish
army the recruits are all young. The
wars ia Cuba and the Philippines have
been going on so long that there is a
constant drain on the country for fresh
soldiers. The result is that the boys
of poor parents. who cannot buy their
sons off, are rushed into the army as
soon as they are big enough to carry
gun. A whole company of them some
times looks as if there wasn't boy as
old as Is in the lot. Some of the recruits
do not seem more than IA. but probably
few are taken quite so young as that.
1t Is a pretty serious matter for them

lean boys are still in the grammar
school, drilled hastily a few weeks at
Cadiz, Barcelona, or Corunna, and then
sent across the sea to Cuba, where the
climate kills ten for every one that falls

The officers who drill Spain's boy sol
diers are splendid looking big fellows,
and as fine soldiers as any in the world,
but they don't often 90 TO Cuba them
selves. OF course there are, too,
great many thousand older and more
experienced troops, but these are kept

Spain itself. it is hardly 10 be won
dered at that Gen. Weyler didn't sue
coed in conquering Cuba with a lot of
homesick boy soldiers, only half trained.
and it isn't likely that Gen. Blanc will
succeed much better.
When the boys are gathered at a gar
rison town for training, they shamble
along in their heavy farm shoes for all
the world like n gang" Of urchins
ready for a SNOWFALL fight. They are
taken into barracks and drilled for a
very short time, then packed on board
troop ships for Cuba. The troop ships
are pretty slow. and It takes, as a rule,
about two weeks to cross the sea. AS
most of the new levies cross in the su-
tumn when the Atlantic is very stormy.
they have dismal time Of it, nearly

ator Broderick, although a democrat,
was opposed to the extension of slsv-
cry Judge Terry represented the
ultra slavery wing of his party, and he
was put forward TO XIII Senator Brod-
erick. It was a cold-blooded piece of
business. In speech at Sacramento
in 1859 Judge Terry denounced the SEN
ator as traitor, and said: These pe0-
pie call themselves Douglas democrats,
but they are not followers of Stephen
A. Douglas. They are under the ban
ner Of Douglas, II is true, but 1t is
the black Douglas. His name is Fred
erick. not Stephen"
That speech called forth some bitter
remarks from Senator Broderick, for
which Judge Terry challenged him t.
a duel, and he accepted the challenge.
Judge Terry was born and raised to
believe ia and 10 practice the code
duello. Senator Brodericl< knew prac-
tically nothing Of dueling. Judge
Terry selected for his seconds men
who had had experience. Senator
Broderick's seconds knew nothing Of
the code, and they were duped.
The meeting was arranged TO take
place on the morning Of September IL,

were arrested. They were almost inn
