THE SPANISH RANK AND FILE.
From Letter Written by Member Of
General Brooke's Staff

OeueThl 4oEOOh0 . OunAsJ
Beyond the top OF the mountain we
came upon the Spanish outpost, where
we found three companies of regular
infantry. and were received with due
honors and courtesy. Refreshments were
offered and accepted, after partaking of
which we proceeded on our way. The
Spanish soldiers impressed me much more
favorably than I expected. They look
small beside our men, but they are gen.
orally we'll set up, bright and alert, and
looking ready for business. They wear
a uniform-tlouse and trousers-of a
bright homespun material, without any
facings, but with brass buttons and col
lar ornaments. For the head they wear
a white straw hat with wide brim and a
oockade on the left side. They ere armed
with this Mauser and short knife bayonet.
The cartridges are carried in clip in
punches of five, and these are carried in
small leather pouches attached to the
belt, several in, q pouch. The leather
trimmings are all Of fair or tan leather,
and far superior in appearance to our
black leather trimmings. For the feet
the men wear sandals with rope soles.
Many, however, had on black leather
shoes, and some of them wore moccasins.
Each man had blanket slung over the
left shoulder, and carried fair-leather
bay or haversack. I saw no tents and no
wagon train They evidently do not de-
pend or mules and wagons to help them
conduct campaign. l saw company
marching along the street. and noticed
that they move with quick, springy
step. that enables them to cover ground
quickly. The Guarda Civile appears to

stand they are all men who have served
their time with the colors, and have been
selected on account OF good conduct and
faithful service. The regulars appear to
be very young men, from IS to II, but
the Guarda Civile are mature men and
make a very good appearance. Their
uniform is similar to that of the regular
troops, but of biue-gray color. They
carry the Remington rife, with the old
fashioned bayonet, and use brass-ooated
bullets in the cartridges. We found them

healthful. The water was plentiful

located that it could Tot have been con-

Gen. Wheeler's testimony in regard to
Camp Wikoff was no less favorable the
second day than the first. He admitted
that there had been complaints from some
Of the men, and some of them he had
found we'll founded. But as rule he
claimed that the condition of things was
satisfactory. Gen. Wheeler is a soldier.
ard served in the Confederate army DUR
ing tho war. He is therefore familiar
with camp life, and expected of course
hardship and suffering. Doubtless things
that would make strong impression
upon civilians who had never had any
experience in war, he would pay little
attention to. A certain amount of hard.
ship aud suffering he had learned to re-
gard as the inevitable concomitants of
camp life, and the upshot Of his testi-
mony is that he found no more Of them
at Santiago and Montauk than he ex-
pectea, or than are inseparable from war;
Probably If he had never been soldier
before, many of the hardships which the
soldiers underwent would have appeared
severe, and perhaps he would have been
as much agitated by them as some OF the
civilians who have seen them for the first
time have been. We may expect
when civilians who visited the camp get
on to the witness stand very different
opinion from Gen. Wheeler's, because
they will judge by different standard
from what he uses. What he looks upon
as unavoidable hardship, the necessary
incidents Of camp life, they will regard
as evidence of somebody's incompetency
or neglect. We are inclined to think that
a soldiers standard is nearer the true
one to judge the condition of camp by
shan the civilians.

than all others combined, was the ''can-

mented by peddlers who brought
liquor from Chattanooga, and liquor
dealers of that city who supplied the

suffered from lack of food or got bad
food, it was not the fault of the quarter

1t is but fair to say that the soldiers
who were at Chickamauga take much
less favorable view of the camp than
Gen. Boynton does. They generally con-

Some Business Fossils.

There are still some Old fossils drift
ing along through life and who dc
not believe in advertising and sneeI
at the man who seeks publicity
through the medium of printers ink,
says the Harrisburg Telegraph. For
tunately they are few in number but
for their benefit let us tell them Il
story.
Some weeks ago there was a strike
on the Chicago newspapers, the stero-
typers demanding and being refused
higher wages, and every paper, in
pursuance Of an agreement, suspended
publication, permitting no news
whatever to be made public. This
thing continued for several days, and
Chicago was practically without its
daily paper, which to the Chicagoian
is II great hardship. for there is no
denying that they print good news
papers in the Windy City.
In course of time the places of the
strikers were filled, and the papers re-
sumed publication, and everything is
now lovely. Now as to the effect of
the suspension of publication on the
business of those who advertised.
One merchant, who is a large adver-
tiser, says that during the time the
newspapers were not printed his
business fell off just one-half, for the
reason :thatEhe had no other sure
means of telling the public what he
had to sell.
Other business men, who make
daily use OF the newspapers to ad-
vertise what they want to sell to the
public, said that their losses were
very great, their trade fell off and
they were practically at a stand still.
Thus the benefits of advertising are
apparent.
The old fossil who still does bust
or tries to do business-without
advertising may not change his ways,
but he has an object lesson in the ex-
perience of the Chicago people.
