Courage in the British Army

A writer on military courage quotes Gen.
Sir Henry Havelock in this interesting
fashion, I'm my experience, in any British
regiment there are always 100 men who
would storm the gates of hell, 800 who if
they did would follow in, 100 who would
skulk in the bitches and about thirty who
do skulk there or elsewhere" The writer
ranks Americans and Englishmen as equal
In military courage, with Germans, French
and Russians next in that order

Faraticism and Disloyalty

For years the Peace union did good work.
It's influence was seen in the strong follow
ing arbitration gained in this country when
the Anglo-American treaty was proposed.
But when, in its spite over the Spanish war,
it displayed the flag of CASTLE in Independ-
ence hall at Philadelphia and sent letter
of sympathy to the queen regent, assuring
her that the war is opposed to American
sentiment and inviting her to take refuge
in the bosom of the Peace union, it was
guilty of disloyalty and extreme fanati-
csm.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Force of a Rifle Bullet

In the English official regulations for
1898 it is stated that the mean extreme
range of the Lee-Metford bullet may be
taken as about $500 yards, although, with
a strong wind. 300 yards have been OBJ
served. The bullets find their way through
joints of walls, unless the walls are made
very fine and set in cement. About $50
rounds, concentrated on nearly the same
spot at 200 yards will break nine-inch
brick wall. Rammed earth gives less pro-
lection than loose. When fired into sand
the bullet is found to be always turned
aside after it has entered little way.

When Americans Like to Fight

The Americans can fight If they must,
and are not averse to doing so in proper
cause but they do not like to take up fight
ing as a regular business. This is we'll
shown by their reluctance to enter the reg
ular army, though they are SO eager for
the volunteer service that they are quarrel
ing for the privilege of enlisting. For this
reason If for no other, compulsory mill
tary service could not be enforced In this
country The people would not submit to

American Locomotives in the Lead

1t was long question whether the Amer
lean or English locomotive is the better,
but evidence that the best locomotives in
the world are made in the United States
accumulates constantly. The sale of
American locomotives in neutral markets
increases every year, and many Of them
go to countries which are under British
domination. OF course they would not be
purchased here but for their superiority

Night Attack Expected

Lieut.. Col. R. w. Huntington, commander
of the marines in Camp McCalla, has been
making every preparation during the last
few days for an assault by the Spanish In
fantry, which is considered near at hand.
The quiet which has prevailed since Capt.
Elliott and Capt. Spicer defeated the Span-
iards In the early part of the week is con-
sidered ominous, as tending to indicate that
the Spaniards are massing their forces to
attack the American position. The en-
trenchments have therefore been greatly
strengthened and a sharp watch is kept
during the night. The Cubans are gener-
ally of the opinion that the Spaniards have
had enough for the time being and that no
further attack will be made at present.
Hoping for Help
The marines, who are few in number and
desperately overworked, are looking anx-
icusly for the appearance of the army trans
ports, which have been expected every day
for week. The men are in good spirits
and determined to do their best, but they
are too small force to withstand an at
tack of the entire Spanish force.
