Some Interesting Sketches of OH
GERS From Civil Life-Gen. Miles
and His Record.
Tampa, Fla. May 2.-Some years ago
there was strong feeling created against
West Point Military Academy, among
other things, because it was an "aristo-
cratic institution and monopolized army
appointments. The great injustice of the
charge made led me to prepare and pub
fish in the Philadelphia Times an article
clearly showing how easily private SOL
diers Of humble birth had come up from
the ranks of the United States army to
occupy commissions of every grade. Also,
pointed out the great number of officers
then in the army, from civil life, who
never were at West Point.
II IS true that of the eleven generals
in the army then, only one, Brig. Gen. A.
II. Terry, since deceased, was from civil
life. But what a wonderful transforma-
tion meets the critics eye to-day as he
eazas upon the regular army as it pours
through this city on its mission of war.
There is not even one West Point general
in oommand of these troops, all being from
chu life. Death and retirements have
put the West Pointers in the background.
and unless they come to the front in the
new formation of the army. or with the
volunteers, the war with Spain will be
almost entirely conducted by general Off
GERS originally from civil life.
Nine years ago Gen. Nelson A. Miles was

Spanish Navy Lacks the Training of
That of This Country.
New York. May 2.-Maj. A. G. Girard.
L. s. A, who was. sent by this govern
ment as a delegate to the Hygiene Con
gress at Madrid, was a passenger on the
French Line La Burgogne, which arrived
here to-day from Havre. Maj. Girard was
the representative of the United States
army.
THE Spanish navy said Maj. Girard,
has not a ghost of show. From all 1
could learn, the Spanish navy is in an
inferior condition. Its main troubles are
that its men, from officers down, do not
know how to fight in squadrons Squad
ron maneuvers cost money and Spain has
never had enough money for that pur.
pose.
when the American war vessels were
spending months in attaining high pro-
ficency, the Spanish vessels were lying
mildly in harbors and their admirals and
captains were parading the streets of Mad
rid or dining in cafes.
1.-THE American vessels in squadron form
easily can beat the Spanish vessels in de-
tail. The Spanish soldiers are brave
enough, but the American navy is in in
finitely better form. The Spanish lack the
stability of the Anglo-Saxon race. A de-
feat easily throws them into dismay"
