GATLINGs AT THE FRONT.

front. He placed them IN a command
ing position, between the rough riders
and the Tenth cavalry, negroes. Five
men were assigned to a gun, and then
began the slaughter. To use the lieu
tenants own words:
1T was marvellous, though to me it
was not surprising. The guns, which
had no covers, had been exposed to rain
and heat; they had been dragged
through wet sand and mud, and yet
during the five days we used them not
one Of them got out of order. Well it
was, too, that we were so fortunate
for we did not have an extra spring or
part to replace any which might give
way. This shows how much the gov
eminent expected of the guns.
1--WE trained the guns to the top of the
hill. They were fired above the heads
of the slowly advancing line of blue,
which had started up the side of the
slope. I ordered the men to work the
Gatlings as fast as they could. The re-
suit was astounding. With each of the
four guns firing at the rate of about
500 shots a minute, the bullets formed a.
canopy above the heads of the men at
the foot of the hill.
"a Calling gun in action is a sight
to remember, so fast and thick do the
bullets fly that one can actually see
the stream of lead leaving the gun,
and, as if handling hose, train it on
any desired point.
ONLY ONE INCIDENT.
ct remember one incident of the first
day, which showed how deadly was the
fire of these machine guns. Away OF
across the valley we saw a clump Of
Spanish cavalrymen. 1 ordered the
guns turned on them. They were so far
away that we had to use glasses to
find them accurately, but when the lit
tie wheels began to turn, those who
stood in the front line of the clump fell
as grass falls before a mower. And it
didn't take the rest of those Spaniards
long to get behind something.
AS the day wore on and the troops
kept climbing up the hill, Colonel
Roosevelt, who had been watching the
work of the Gatlings came along and
placed his light battery of two Colt ma
chine guns and one dynamite gun in
my command. The Colt guns did excel
lent work, but compared with the Cat
lings, 1 believe / rather like the latter
better. The Gatlings did more in that
fight than had ever been claimed of
them. Their inventor said they would
stand 5000 rounds of continuous firing
as limit. One Of the guns in my COM
mand spouted $4,000 bullets without
stopping for any length of time
Lieutenant Parker was also much
pleased with the work of the dynamite
; gun used by the rough riders. His
theory is that the dynamite shells are
the best demoralizers and that the fir
ing of each one should be followed by
a few thousand shots from machine
guns, to pick off those who are getting
out of the way of the dynamite In
his plan for the reorganization of the
machine gun service in the army. he IA
vors the allotment of company of
three guns to a regiment, or about 100
guns to an army corps, with % in re-
serve. Lieutenant Parker is a Missouri
man. His home was in Sedalia.

RIFLEs ARE OBSOLETE.

THAT battle demonstrated beyond
any reasonable doubt that the rifle
field piece is obsolete, Notwithstanding
the fact that it has been brought to a
high degree of perfection. It showed
that the two kinds of guns which will
find favor in future warfare will be the
machine gun and the siege piece. With
the great siege guns in the rear of the
besieging army. hurting their terrible
projectiles over the heads of the adj
vancing army and into the fortified
places, and the machine guns in front,
firing at the rate of 800 shots a minute,
the problem of an economic and pow
erful artillery will have been solved,
and the field piece of today will take
it's place among the brass cannon of
centuries past"
Lieutenant Parker-he was then act
ing captain--was given the command
of four Calling guns, with a compile
ment of about So men before the troops
left Florida. After daily drills for sew
eral weeks, he outlined his plan of ac-
ton. And be it said to his credit that
it was the first time a definite plan Of
action was ever formulated for machine
guns. AS a rule, the machine guns are
left to the command of some officer Sc
lected at random, and, in fact, they are
not expected to accomplish much, be
cause their delicate mechanism is so
easily injured by careless management
that their usefulness is very often i'm
paired
The work of Lieutenant Parker's bat
terry in action showed what could be
accomplished by machine guns. 1t was
a revelation to the old army officers
who were there and saw the CALLING eff
feet from the fire of these light guns.
1t attracted such favorable attention
and comment that the lieutenant is now
working on a plan for the reorganiza-
ton of the machine gun service of the
army. under orders from the war de-
partment.

Lieutenant John H. Parker of the
Thirteenth regular infantry, who was
in command of the machine guns before
Santiago, and who is now in Kansas
City experimenting the publication. of
a book he has written, was sitting in
the Office of his publisher. He leaned
forward, and his black eyes Sparkled
with enthusiasm as ne spoke. Ever
since he was graduated from West
Point, in the class of 1872, he has made q
special study of machine guns, and
theorized as to their value if properly
handled. Now that his theories have
been put in practice and found not
wanting, he is of course highly salts
fed. His book will be called The Cat
lings at Santiago" and of the Cat

recklessly terminated the debate So
hurried and excited had congress been
that the best of Jefferson's s draft was
cut out and the most questionable part
was all that was left. The company
were all feeling grave over this when
the PATRON rode up. Saluting, he ex-
cused himself, and tho colonel and he
rode apart.
"Bad news?" asked the latter.
Frelinghassen impaired it at once.
"By God! What clever bodyguard

When the colonel had learned that
his daughter was with the Van Rensse-
laers and Regy back at his quarters, he
turned on his heel without more ado
and after speaking to Livingston and
bowling to the company galloped ahead.
At the door of the Kings Arms, the
rendezvous of the dashing young red
coats and provincial dandies on Crown
street, the exhausted horse dropped.
Out on the rear piazza overlooking the
river and gardens in the midst Of a
noisy entertainment, the colonel held
few whispered words with Regy Nor
ton, and it was understood between them
that the young dandy must never trou-

the wayward girl with anger in his
heart. But the sight Of the contrast
between her gay apparel and serious
face melted the stern old soldier to pity

patroon's to be married, entertained and
sent on their way rejoicing. It was the
occasion Of Betsey's first extravagant
headdress, puff Of silvery gauze in the
form Of a globe on a foundation Of
white satin, having q double wing in
large plaits and little curls falling just
to the neck. Nothing could exceed the
piquancy of the face in its innocent,
merry pride from under this pile Of mil
linery and borrowed hair. Her silver.
high hesled shoes popped in and out
beneath her green silk petticoat in the
dance with swiftness and vigor that
threatened to exceed the endurance of
her partners. Dancing was universal at
that date, but Betsey danced as If for a
wager. The real reason was feeling of
resentment against her host, the young
PATRON. He had with the clumsiness of
man failed to admire her gorgeous head
wear and indeed in his heart wished
for the simple braid down the back of
the simple maid in the scarlet mantle
that sheltered her from head to foot
She grudgingly yielded him one dance
and disdaining every one else danced
with the chancellor till they were both
fatigued. But even then Betsey would
allow her middle aged partner only a
moment to rest. On the floor again he
seemed to catch the spirit Of her deter.
mination. They danced down six cou-
pies. People began to look on in amaze
which gradually became affright-the
chancellor's face had become purple.
His hold on the girl relaxed and he
dropped to the floor, dead. It was the
PATRON who raised him and looked
with blue reproachful eyes on Betsey.
She stood trembling in the middle Of
tho floor, but at bis look love. pain, an.
ger famed up in her young bosom and
she actually tossed her head and turned
on her heel.
The chancellor was carried and suit.
ably escorted to the deadroom, the neces.
sary people were detailed in attendance,
and the festivities went on. Such an 90.
currence was not unheard of. It only
left really deep impression on three
people present-the PATRON, Betsey and
one other. He was one of the groom q
friends, one of the young bloods Of his
times. an English officer, redcoat,
popular on both sides-Reginald, or
more commonly Regy, Morton. He had
made himself famous by walking to
Philadelphia on q wager, attended by
his chums on horseback and in car
fiages He had eaten up his handsome
quarterly allowance as it came by CIV
ing dinners to his friends. He was the
liveliest Of the company now. AS might
have been expected he carried his su-
perb. athletic figure over to one Of his
friends and expressed wish to dance

was very attentive to the fair sex and
gave an impetus to society that made
the young people lively. netsey began
to wear silk dresses again and to grow
more like her old cheerful self, for on
learning that a desertfr had been
brought in who was a tlilor she pro.
posed keeping him as useful in the fam
lily.
When the news came that an English
officer named Reginald Morton had been
killed i'll personal combat, Americans
were rejoicing over the deliverance Of
General Greene in the south, and as
many gave way to tears Of thankful
ness, Betseys weeping was not special
ly needed. She was widow.
Many remark went round soto voce
and the hostess looked for Betsey, but
she was not then to be found. The
young general was, however, brought
into the circle for greetings and con-
gratulations, and then his hostess dis.
patched him to the library, whisper
Ing her intention of sending Betsey
thither.
And thither Betsey came after suit.

ed in gray taffeta and sheeny gauze.
She walked straight into the generals
arms in her own high handed, unexplan-
atory fashion, and the PATRON asked no
questions.
Washington had taken the presiden-
tial oath. and he, his lady and his suit
were keeping house in the first execu-

square. Social functions Of surprising
magnificence were organized. The jog
