Discussing the possibilities of war

United States militia or national guard
some of our newspapers lately boasted
hat an army of 100, 600 men could be
thrown einto Cuba within few
weeks. How many of these men would
be mounted on horseback? 1t is very
pertinent inquiry, for it requires from
three to six months training to make
a cavalryman, and some of the states
which furnish large contingents to the
national guard have not a single troop
of horses. If there is any lesson that
the failure of the confederacy can teach
us, it is this: that san invs sion of Cuba
