Some Spanish Words.

4 HERENER our army or navy
w starts in to make the capture
OF a Spanish stronghold. we
have a MORO castle to deal with. APP
parently these castles are legion. The
American public has always known
that Havana's famous old fertilization
is known as MORO castle: 1t has a his
tory that runs back hundreds of years
through military annals. But. since
hostilities began. we have learned that
San Juan has a MORO castle, Cuba's
coast has several Of them. They exist
in the Philippines. The two words
mean Fort castle: the grandiloquent
name has been used wherewith to chris
ten many of SPANS fortified places. or
even places which, IL they ever were
fortified. are no defense now against
modern material in warfare. The
MORO castle at ava is the most
famous Of all these structures; till very
nable. and even when, after weeks of
fighting. the English captured Havana,
they realized hat they had had a fight.
But this fort is the Spanish exception,
as far as colonial defenses are con-
cerned. The war is bringing other
words into use the meaning Of which is
not clear to all the readers Of the news.
Here are a few Of them which opera
tions on Cuba's coast have made com
mon:
Bahia. a bay.
Gala, an inlet.
Ensa. I. O., ensenada, an inlet.
Playa, a beach.
Pta., /. g.. punta, a point or headland.
Rio, a river.
Sabana, a plain.
Surge. 1. e.. Sudgidero, an anchorage.

At tho Fork.

~ ENERAL SKATER is lat the
- fork in the road"-so say this
mornings summary of the sit
uation near Santiago. The fork of the
road is not d~iscoverable on the ordi-
nary map. not even on the excellent ones
which the wal has so rapidly brought
into the market. The conclusion must
be. however, that General Shafter has
pushed bravely forward-the point he
has reached leaves him to take one
branch that leads to Santiago or an
other branch which eads coastwise to-
ward the outer licenses Of the harbor.
Thus as the maps show the situation
in general outline. ii would appear that
General Shafter has come to the parting
Of the ways, rather han to the fork of
the road. But. whatever they call 1t,
tine hope is that our troops are at a
point whence 1t will be possible for
them to advance up to the assault on
Santiago itself without painfully heavy
loss Of life. The experience of the
past ten days has strengthened the sus-
plcion that the advance Of our land
force toward the conquest of Cuba must
he a slow and probably a bitter pro-
cess.
The public no longer expects to be
rejoiced with stories of new triumphs
morning after morning. on Cuba's
tangled shores war bids fair to be in
grim illustration of what General Sher-
man said IL is.

future enlargement Of the pension rolls.
Not only are recruits for the volunteer
army tn he rigidly examined prior to
being mustered into the service. but
his is to be supplemented by an equal

mustered out. one Of the most puzzling
features of the pension business has
been the matter 81 determining. in the

The Coal Excuse.

~HE Spanish dispatches would
have us believe that the ques-
tion Of "A supply of coal is the
cause OF Camara's long detention at
Port Said-the information that a tor
pedo craft belonging to his fleet must
have repairs is an affair on the side;
If permission to coal up should happen
to he granted, the Spanish admiral will
still have the torpedo-boat's needed re-
pairs To fall back on. Facilitiee failing
at Port Said, the whole fleet will doubt
less be compelled to return in stately
procession to Cadiz. to fix up the little
destroyer.
We ought to hope hat Camara will
be permitted to take on coal at the
SueZ-canal station. It's a safe guess
that If he gets the coal, he never will
sail the length of the canal: he will be
a badly disappointed man il the con-
sent to coal up is granted. because he
doesn't dream of sailing to Manila.
Were the cabinet in earnest il could
easily have learned what the likelihood
for pa at the SueZ canal was, before
the fleet sailed from Cadiz.

HATS the matter with New

HATS the matter with New
Wv Jersey? Not less than eight
hundred and fifty men are
needed 70 bring the three New Jersey
regiments up TO the full standard. and
Governor Voorhees, has telegraphed the
surgeon general at Washington that
unless instructions to examining sur
geons are modified the United States
will be obliged to draft recruits for reg
iments now in the field. A draft at
this stage of the war would be nothing
short Of disgraceful TO New Jersey. Let
New Jersey quit with what she has
done, combining her three incomplete
regiments into two full ones, and IL
there is any surplus let them be in
cluded in a second Montana regiment,
which this state will undertake to raise
at the drop of the hat.

HE New York troops are in

~ HE New York troops are in a
state of mind. The pay Of the
soldier in the service Of the gov
eminent is fifty-two cents a day. The
pay Of a soldier of the National Guard
i'm the service of the state is a dollar
and a quarter a day. The state of Mas
sachusetts has determined that the vol
unteers from that state shall receive
equivalent to state pay all the time they
serve in the United States army. The
state will add the difference between
ifty-two cents and a dollar and a quar-
ter a day. In New York it is different.
There were nineteen days intervening
between the call Of the boys from their
homes and their enrolment as United
States soldiers. For these nineteen
days the guardsmen were i'm the service
of the state. But lest the boys might
possibly receive more than a dollar and
a quarter a day the adjutant general
deducted ffty-two cents a day from
each mans pay for this period. upon the
absurd expectation that the United
States authorities would pay them the
difference. Hence a roar among the
New York troops. 1t was a small and
niggardly piece Of business, rejecting
anything but credit upon the Empire
state.

THE STAGE DRIVERS BLUFF.
F2.rbreadth Stories of Accidents Which
L-liIed to Awe One Passenger.


AS we left Sandy Gulch for Rising
Sun there were six male passengers to
go by the stage, and the route was over
the mountains and full of chances Of
disaster. The driver came out from
breakfast as soon as the stage was ready,
and looking about on the passengers he
selected a small, pale faced man and
invited him to climb ~ beside him.
While the pale faced man was climbing
the driver whispered to the rest Of Us:
Il picked him out in order to scare
him to death. You fellows Will see
heap of fun before we've gone ten
miles.
Two minutes west Of the gUlch the
road made a sudden turn, with a sheer
fall of 100 feet down to Wild Cat creek,
and the driver put his horses at the gal
lop and said to the man:
1--WE may get around all right, or we
may fetch up down belAs. Hold your
breath and say your prayers.
The passenger made no move and did
not change countenance, and after max
ing the course all right the driver rather
Indignantly demanded:
Didn't you see that the off wheel
run within foot of the edge of the
preoipice?"
lit ran within six inches, SIR, !" was
the reply.
Beyond the curve was a down grade
of mile, AID with yell and flour
ish of his whip the driver urged his
horses to a dead run. The five of Us in
side had to hang on for dear life, and
every half minute the stage seemed
bound TO go over.
Ibid you know that if we'd struck a
rock we'd all been dead men in no
timer
"Of course.
"And you wasn't pray in?"
"Not at all. -
Three or four miles farther on the
driver tried his man with another curve.

In his determination to make a close
call Of 1t one wheel ran off the edge of
the precipice, and only a sudden effort
of the horses saved the coach. We were
flung in heap and frightened half TO
death, but the man beside the driver
never lost a puff of his cigar. When
things were safe, the driver turned ON
him with:
THAT surely was the brink of the
grave
"Guess it was, was the quiet reply
"The closest shave you Will ever hev
till the last one comes" ,"
"Yes. -
"See here, now, but what sort OF a
