BATTLE FIELD 0CoMMUNICA TIoN

Washington. 3 July ,22.-The very latest
development in field telegraphy and tele-
phony was represented in handsomely
equipped, double horse-wagon that was
driven into the. court yard of the War
Department today for the inspection of
the military officers. The wagon is one
of twenty, designed by Col. Strong, as
sisted by Major Dunwoodie of the signal
corps, to construct flying telegraph lines
over battle fields. to maintain army head
quarters in communication with heads
of divisions and with the'tentral authori.
ties at Washington.
This wagon has four folding tables
which, when thrown up, form desks
upon which are placed set of telegraph
and telephone instruments. Batteries
are carried beneath the sests while the
coils of wire are SO arranged as to be
strung out as fast as the wagon be driv-
en-. The wagon is intended tosbe followed
by heavier vehicle containing lances,
spare coils of wire, and even sections of
submarine cables, so that no obstacle to
telegraphic communication will be caused
by a considerable sstream of water. The
wagons will be sent to the front as rapid
ly as possible.

We cannot lose anything in the way of
assistance from Gen. Garcia's taking his
troops away from the American camp to
the hills, and announcing that hereafter
they will fight independently, for the
very good reason that they have never
furnished us any. After viewing the Gu
bans at close range for several weeks, Gen.
Shafter pronounces them "sulkers, looters
utterly worthless. Apparently all they
have done Is to eat our rations and groWl
when any working OF fighting was re-
CURED of them. No doubt Gen. Shafter
and his soldiers would much rather ha We
them out of their campsthan in it, and
we may be sure there will be no effort to
call them back. There is, however, some
thing disquieting about their withdrawing
from all association with the American
troops and acting independently. because
it suggests the possibility that as time
goes on and they come to realize that
they are not necessarily to be the
bencfiaries of American conquests, they
may not contlne themselves to offensive
operations against the Spaniards If, as
seems pretty clear now. their main pur-
pose is to dominate Cuba, they are not
likely to be any more tolerant of the
Americans than of the Spaniards, and
when the Americans become a more for
they may attempt to harass us by the
sort of guerilla tactics they brought to
bear upon the Spaniards If they should
do so they could undoubtedly give us
much trouble, and delay a long time the
pacitication of Cuba. For three years
they have kept the country in a turmoil
in spite of Spanish efforts to subdue
them, and though no doubt we could and
should carry on much more energetic
campaign than the Spaniards did, the
task of putting them down would not be
an easy one. The warm climate of the
country the year round. and its great
productiveness are exceedingly favorable
to the Carrying on of guerrilla warfare,
and as unfavorable to its suppression.
But we are in FOR 1t now, and no mattsr
| what obstacles are put in our path, we
have got to overcome them and pacify
| the island. If driving out the Spaniards
| will not do it, then we shall have to
keep on and drive out or suppress all the
other elements of disorder. A war for
humanity cannot be satisfied by exchang-
ing one gang of throat-cutters for an
other. By no sort of sophistry can we
justify ourselves in putting an end to
Spanish dominion and then handing the
island over 10 'sulkers and looters. -
That is not the kind of job we pledged
ourselves. to do. s

What the final disposition of the con-
qered Spanish provinces will be will not
be settled until the war is over and peace
negotiations are under way. The state
ment therefore that the government has
decided to keep this island or that one is
Bprsmature. 1t can be said with perfect
safety however that the Spaniards will
Abe permitted to hold no islands in the
fWest Indies after this war. Spanish .rule
in this hemisphere must cease. 1t has
caused us great trouble and expense and
one of the underlying reasons why we
went to war was to put an end to it.
Porto Rico will not be part of the
Spanish dominion after. this war. Wheth-
er it will be a part OF ours is yet to be
settled. 1t depends very much, or at least
ought to, on the wishes of the inhabitants
of the island. If they should claim the
right to govern themselves it is little
difficult to see how we could deny it
without flying directly in the face of the
preamble to our declaration of war,
Mowever, consistency seems to be more
honored nowadays by the breach than BY
the observance.

WHY THE sPANIARos CAN'T SHOOT
The Former British Consul at Santiago
Explains tho Mystery.
(Key West Letter to Toronto Mail.)

(Key West Letter to Toronto Mail.)
''From my house in Santiago, over
looking the harbor where Cerveras feet
is now bottled up" said he II had but
to lift my eyes to see any day from three
to four Spanish battleships. Never once
did see drill or firing practice. or any
thing of that kind, in my five years on
the island. There were plenty of blank
shots fired on kings and queens birth
days and saints days, but not once was
there any real firing at targets. To show
you the difference, when war broke out
I was ordered out of Santiago. 1 went
to Port Antonio, Jamaica, for six weeks.
While there big British man-of-war
came into port. Early next morning I
was awakened by the sound of firing.
sort of a metallic bull's-eye, VIII ich rang
whenever the bullet hit it. and nine
times out of 10 it did. Later in the day
a boat came ashore with firing party
who practiced there for whole after
noon. Early morning, too, you could
see them drilling away on the decks.
remember at the time contrasting the
difference between British and Spanish
methods. No, the Spaniards can't shoot;
they can't even march. used to see
them in Santiago there, struggling up the
narrow street, some carrying their guns
across the shoulder, others trailing them
by their sides, DO man keeping step with
the other. But they'll fight for they are
not towards.
'They are used to the Cuban way of
fighting, though. One time, at the be-
ginning of the war, the Cubans fixed a
line of explosives, which went off when
the Spanish soldiers crossed it, and from
that day you couldn't pay Spaniard to
follow Cuban when he runs, and the
Cuban always runs. He fights guerrilla
fashion, but never in o stand-up, face
to-face battle. The Spaniards used to
cry: Come on, then You won't? Well,
run, now, run!' but they wouldn't fol
low. I told one of the Spanish officers
that when they met the Yankees it would
be differ emit matter, and assure you he
was much surprised. He seemed to think
that our boys would run like the Cubans.
He's learning different over there in San
tiago today" said the consul wagging
his head seaward.t 9{lG

OF course there is no logical ground for
the European powers to make objections
to our sending Watson and his fleet to
Spain. We are under no obligation to
confine our attacks to her provinces, but
may with perfect propriety attack the
home country. If any European nation
were at war with her they would invade
her home territory, and what is lawful
for them is as lawful for US. Europe NAV
not like to see US coming over there with
fleet, just as she did not like to see us
going to Manila, but she can offer no OBJ
lection that will hold water. As to the
wisdom of sending feet to Spain. there is
room for difference of opinion. Those
who favor the expedition do so because
they expect that bringing the war nearer
home will hasten peace. The opposition
(and there is considerably contend that
lis presence on the Spanish coast is more
likely to prolong the war than shorten it

The worst thing that could happen to
Gen. Weyler just now would be to be put
in place of responsibility, where the
burden of SPANS troubles would rest on
his shoulders. Since he returned from
Cuba he has been a sort of free lance,
criticizing the government and thesmili-
tary commanders and telling what ought
to be done, until he has impressed good
Smany Spaniards with the idea that under
