THE SPANISH FORCES
SEVEN DIFFERENT CLASSES or
TROOPS SERVING IN CUBA

A Regular Infantry Force Made Up Of
Boys-rhe Guerriilas and Why They Are
Hated and Receive No Quarter = The
Troops Use the Maussr Rifles.
When American troops land in Cuba,
they will be confronted by an assorted
lot Of Spanish soldiery. Spain's forces
on the island are classified as follows:
First (Regular) Infantry. This force
Is composed exclusively of men born in
Spain. One can have only feelings of
pity for these poor boys, for most OF
them are barely 20 years Of age. AS
regiment after regiment goes marching
past one will look at thousands of
youthful faces before seeing grizzled
veteran. These boys are clean looking.
neat and well behaved. "Toughs" and
rowdies among them are almost wholly
unknown. They care nothing about Gu
ba. The island might sink into the sea,
and they would merely roll fresh Gig
arctic and dream Of the blue hills OF
old Spain, so very, very far away. They
are dragged from their peaceful, quiet
homes to fight for Spain. That il all
they know about it, and it is all they
care. Poor boysi One could only pity
them as they kept always coming, COM
ing to Havana, and never going back.
1t would be a pity to NOW down these
inoffensive lads with machine guns and
steel jacketed bullets.
Second (Regular) Cavalry. This Is
practically little more than mounted in
fantry. The men are of Spanish birth.
IL one did not know that their horses
came chiefly from Texas, the inference
would be irresistible that the cavalry
mounts were the direct descendants of
Rosinante of blessed memory. The av-
erage cavalry horse Of the Spanish
forces in Cuba recalls the old story Of
the man who was driving along a viii
lage street somewhere in Connecticut
with horse that was apparently saved
from total disintegration only by the
harness.
"HelIol' said friend on the side
walk. "Going to have new horse?'
"What dye mean?" demanded the
other.
"Why, thought you were going to
have new horse. / see you have the
frame upl'
When the Spanish cavalry horse be-
comes too weaRand decrepit for active
service, he Is sold to the bullfghters,
who prop him up while the bull cores
him to death.
Third (Guardia CiviD Infantry

men. 1t is the pick of the Spanish
troops in Cuba. To be eligible for serv-

good character and some education. AS
the name implies, it is civil guard.

This is an error. The guerrillas are reg

the Spanish born soldier is treated hu-

chiefly of Spanish residents Of Cuba who

happens that large house will roar at

yesterday evenings production of The
Cuckoo" was everything but fiattering
and acceptable to Smyth & Rice, the
managers, and Mr.. Carleton, the author
of the presentation
At first it was difficult to locate the
trouble. There are bright lines, good sit
uations, and lots of c,medy scattered
bopntifully through the piece, which is in
terpreted by a very capable company.
But after awhile the cat leaps out. A
succession of swallows Will not make
Summer or a thousand bright bits of
glass an artistic mosaic; and the play
wright has given us nothing nearer a
clever Offering than the swallows or bits
of glass approach Summer and art. If he
would like to begin now, Mr.. Carleton has
plenty of material on nand for a first
class farce
The scene of the piece is laid In Paris,

place that all the usual comedy charac-
ters may come in one at a time without
