WAR BALLOON FOR CUBA.
It Will Bc . Means OF Keeping . Sharp
Lookout Over the Country.

II Will Bc . Means OF Keeping Sharp
Lookout Over the Country.
A big war balloon will accompany
the army of invasion Of Cuba and pro-
vide means Of keeping sharp look
out over the country within radius Of
40 miles of the armed and intrenched
camp which will be established there.
The balloon to be used is the only one
possessed by the army, although two
others are in the process Of manufac-
ture, and they will also be sent to Cuba
when they are completed, probably in
the course of 20 days. This military
balloon WAS formerly at Denver and was
brought east for the defense Of New
York harbor, where experiments with
it under the direction Of Lieutenant
Maxwell Of the signal corps have been
in progress recently.
The comprehensive system of tele.
phonic and telegraphio communication
already established at that harbor rem
dered the uses Of the balloon superfiu-
ous, the range Of vision Of the signal
men utilizing it from the Staten Island
station barely exceeding that of the
lookouts in the outer range Of forts.
The excellence of the mosquito fleet sys-
tenn Off the harbor also contributed to
render balloon work at New York un-
necessary, the enemy necessarily ad-
vanoing from the open sea. In Cuba,
however, the conditions will be re-
versed, the enemy being in possession
of the interior Of the country and cut
off from distant vision by the ranges OF
hills. With the balloon 1t will be pos
sible to keep close watch by day as
well as by night and thereby minimize
the chances of surprise. Richard Lee

the value of this policy has been amply
justified as otherwise there would have
been no suitable place to which to
remove the troops from Tampa. One
of the reserve camps is likely to be
located in the valley of the Potomac,
about forty miles above Washington,
and will be very convenient for the re-
ception of troops from Camp Alger in
case it is deemed necessary for the
health of the soldiers to remove them.
The State department to-day COM
pleted the engrossment of the joint res
olution adopted by Congress extending
the thanks Of that branch Of the gov
eminent to Admiral Dewey for his
notable achievements in the Philip
pines. These were transmitted to the
navy department, which will forward
them to the Admiral along with the de-
gree of IL. D., conferred on him by
the University of Pennsylvania.

Neither had been able to get the ram
mer into the bore, and there seemed
nothing left to do but to dismount the
gun. At this juncture. Private Mac
Neal, one of the guns crew, volunteer
ed to go out and make a final effort.
The gun was so important, the star
board battery being engaged. that
forlorn hope, he was permitted to make
the attempt. He pushed out boldly,
and set to work. The guns Of the
forward S-inch guns were firing, al
most knocking him overheard, and
the enemy's shots were coming with
frequency into his immediate neigh
borhood. 1t was at this time the chief
yeoman was killed on the other side
Of the deck. MacNeal never paused In
his work. The hammer was finally
placed in the bore and the she'll eject
