The explosions were followed by a

SPLENDID FIGHTING MEN.
Tribute to Our Army at Santiago by a
Frenchman.

(Ry Telegraph)
WASHINGTON. July 12.--Major De
Grandprey military attache of the
French embassy, has just returned
from the American headquarters near
Santiago. where he has been observing
for his government the progress Of mil
itary operations. He paid a glowing
tribute to the fighting ability OF our
soldiers
Il have the most complete admiration
for your men,. said Major De Grand
prey to an Associated Press reporter
today.
They are a superb body Individual
~ and as an army. and I suppose not
throughout the world is there such
splendid lot of fighting men. 1t is the
fighting characteristic of the men
which is most apparent. They are ag-
gresSive. eager for action. never need
ing the voice of an officer, TO push them
forward. Another marked character
islic is the seif-reiancc of each man.
what we call the character of initiative
II is almost unknown in European ar
mics. where every movement, and the
| move to meet each action of the enemy
awaits the initiative of an officer. But
with your men they fight To the front
meeting each emergency as it arises
overcoming obstacles by their own in
tiative. Such Selfreliant fighting mer
make an exceptionally impetuouS army
loI every unit contributes IN the IRE
sistible onward movement The Span
! sh troops do not have this same char
acteristc. They are more passive.
more cautious. Beside the ilnpetuosi-
| ty of each OF the fighting material. il
| has the effect OF inspiring morale
| among the troops. making them feel
! that success is assured and at the san G
| time carrying disorder and depression
TO the ranks of the enemy"
Major De Girandprcy says the fight
ing about Santiago is something entire
ly different from the warfare of Euro
pean and other armies of modern times
The dense vegetation and tangle of
tropicafvincS makes it impossible tnob-
serve the usual military formations
| AS Il result there is little or no effort
| to fight in solid formation. Every maj
| is fighting for himself. pushing for
ward through the shruhbery vines and
| sall grass. 1t is impossible. to See the
i enemy.
I Major d.. C;randpr-y also speaks
| highly Of the efficiency with which IN,
| American troops and supplies were
