LONG DISTANCE FIGHTING.

Impossible to Tell Infantry From

idea as to distances In army and field

considerably mixed. When they read
that armies are engaging with each 9TH,
or at 2,000 yards between them, they
may think that they can gee each other,
but the reality is far different.
"At that distance, to the naked eye,

larger than speck. It is impossible to
distinguish at that distance between q

Infantry can be seen in the sunlight
much easier than the cavalry or artil-
lery, for the reason that less dust is
raised. Besides that, infantry can be dis

ANTl-ANNE NExATION.

Cuban Assembly at Santa Cruz del Sur
Largely In Favor of Independence.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. s6.-The
first session of the Cuban assembly was
held Tuesday at Santa Cruz del Sur. A
majority of the delegates are military
men, each of the six army corps being
represented by eight delegates. The
sensation of the assembly was the ap-
pearance of General Calixto Garcia as
one of the delegates from the the Sixth
army corps, q fact which practically
rendered him supreme at the assembly
session. His selection to preside over
the proceedings is foregone conclu-
sion. The annexation party has but a
small representation. The assembly
will appoint commission to wait upon
President Mckinley regarding the
status of Cuba and, it is believed. the
assembly will remain in session and the
army not be disbanded until report of
the commission has been received.

Supreme Court of Illinois Decides the
Company Has Exceeded Its Rights.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The supreme court
of Illinois has decided that the action
instituted by ex-Attorney General
Maurice T. Moloney during his term of
Office to compel the Pullman Palace Car
company to restrict its operations to its
charter limitations should stand and re-
manded the case to the circuit court of
Cook county, where it will now be tried.
Ex-Attorney General Moloney had con-
tended that the Pullman company was
incorporated simply for the purpose of
making, selling and leasing railroad and
street cars.
His object was to compel the company.
to retire from the real estate, gas, water,
heating, brickmaking and other enter
prises conducted by it at the town of
Pullman and in Chicago. The case
was fought by counsel of the company
and was thrown out by the circuit court.
Counsel for the state demurred and ap-
peal was taken to the supreme court
which has decided in favor of the for
mer attorney general.
