ing party reached the fort and the trenches
the enemy surrendered. For some minutes
1t had been evident that further resistance
was useless. An officer therefore found his
revolver of little service, even If the diff
cult task of keeping hts men together did
not require all his attention. His functions
are well defined and well understood. MIL
iary tacticians have figured the need Of a
certain part of an army to direct the rest
They are more useful in this capacity than
they would be handling guns. They can
serve their cause best by doing the work
especially assigned to them. Any mixing
up of their duties with those of the privatas
would be likely to result in neglectng the
important ones. Therefore, 1t Is reasoned
out, an officer can be more effectively en-
ployed than in trying, with his own hand.
to kill the enemy.
Some exceptions are to be noted, such as
when troops are stationary and officers
borrow a rifle for fancy shot. These
instances occurred around Santiago, bu.
were, of course, mere diversions.

BoURGoGNE VICTIMS
Many of Them Might Have Been
Saved

NEW YORK, Aug. "a dispatch to the
World from Halifax, N. s.. says:
Undertaken John Snow, who accompa-
MED the steamer Hiawatha on her mission
in search of bodies of the victims of La
Bourgogne disaster, stated to the World
correspondent that some of the bodies
showed evidences Of having been alive IN
the water for two days at least, and tina,
the body of one woman showed that she
must have lived four days after the sink
ing of the ship. Many of the victims, he
thinks, caught pieces of wood and other
wreckage and their lives gradually ebbsd
away In the vain hope Of being rescued

II Is almost as much of an encumbrance as
a use. 1t Is well enough In a military post,
and carries a certain weight of authority,
Just as a sword does. Perhaps no man ex-
cent Of high rank would want to go into
the enemy's country entirely unarmed. He
might be sent on some duty at night or en-
counter a stray soldier of the other side
In the daytime. The emergency would
probably never arise. but the feeling of
security given by good big pistol would
be worth all the trouble Of carrying it,
In the fighting around Santiago officers
were conspicuous for leading their men in
charges, but, as one of them expressed It,
II q commissioned soldier had time to fire a
weapon he was neglecting his duty of OBJ
serving and commanding his men. The
charge In which Colonel Roosevelt took
rart was an exception in the way in which
the men of the different regiments wers
the Spanish. Anything like the hand-to-
hand conflict Is extremely unlikely in n
battle in which both sides use modern rifles.
Their range is measured in miles. From 500
yards down their accuracy in the hands of
skilled marksmen is frightful. They can
be fired six or eight times a minute. The
zone of fire Is so large that the victory Is
virtually decided before a revolver could
be used with accuracy.
In the charge at FL Caney and San Juan
the fighting continued until the two sides
were close together, though many Span
iards had managed to escape. In the thrill
ing charge up the hill on the rifle pits and

When this fact be- came known, however, there was a lively hustling along the line. and detachmenJs of the Red Cross reached the docks in time to serve the men with lunches and coffee, which were greatly appreciated. These lunches were all home made, and were put up in separate paper packages and consisted of two meat sandwiches. a hard-boiled egg, cheese, cakes anu St Lukes Episcopal Church sent 1200 sandwiches; the First Presbyterian. 1000; Temple Emanu-El, 1200, and San Rafael, 800 Mrs. Robert Mckenzie and assist ants had charge of the Morgan City, and Mrs George Buckingham and Mrs L.

IdahO's Volunteers and Two BattaliOns of Regulars on
 the Transports.

The first troops of the third Manila ex- petition to reach the Pacifc-street wharf yesterday to go on board the transports Morgan City and Indiana were the two battaliOns of the First Idaho Volunteers
 It was about 12:30 D. m. when they reached the gates of the dock, and it was with some difficulty that the police cleared the way through the dense crowd for them to enter the building. Forming into single file each company passed up the Morgan City's gangway, and soon all of the Idaho men were on board. In the course of an hour every man was as- signed to his bunk, and releasing them selves from the sixty-pound knapsacks they scattered about the vessel to take a rest after their hard walk from Camp Merritt over the rough stone pavements. They were soon followed by a detach- ment of recruits for the First Nebraska Regiment. now on the way to Manila with the second expedition. This made up the complement of the Morgan City. All the men were marched on board promptly and systematically, and in good order
