A SURPRISE FOR SPAIN.
Gen. Georxe W. Wfngate on American
Marksmanship-Ou Soldiers a.
Skillful A. Our Sailors.

"Wfen our soldiers meet the soldiers
of Spain in BATTLE" said Gen. George
w. Wingate, who has beer called "the
father of rifle practice in America, sit
will be seen that the difference in the
shooting of the two armies with small
guns is as great as the difference of the
two navies with big guns. The Span
iards have demonstrated that they can
not use modern cannon to any advan
tage, while our navy has astonished the
world by the accuracy of its fire. The
same thing in regard to rifles will be
found when our troops and Spain's
come together. l am notafraid to main
tain that in all the world you will not
find any soldiers who are such good
marksmen as ours, and the men of the
national guard are not far behind.
"The great skill in Workmanship
which is possessed by the regular army
and the national guard is expected to
give them an overwhelming advantage
over the Spaniards. The latterar mis-
erable shots and under poor fire dis
cipline. In the battles with the Cubans
it was reported that every time the
Spaniards fired they emptied the maga
zines of their rifles, which contain five
cartridges, without taking any particu-
lar aim, and consequently without do
ing any damage. Our troops, on the
other hand, are trained shots, and their
fire will be deadly.
Special attention has been pain in
the army to firing as skirmishers. In
the skirmishers' practice the men start
at 600 yards and go toward the target
at the double until a bugle sounds.
Then they throw themselves down and
fire as many shots as they can at the
target during half a minute. Again the
bugle sounds, and they rise, run for
ward for hundred yards, lie down and
fire again, They keep this up till with
in 200 yards of the target, at which
point they turn and retreat, lying down
and firing in the same manner. They
have practiced this till they can work
their guns so fast that it looks as if
a continuous stream of fire was coming
from the muzzles, At the same time
they have attained great accuracy. The
same thing is we'll done by the national
guard of Massachusetts,, New Jersey
and some other states, but New York
has yet done little in teaching her ma
tional guardsmen to fire as skirmishers.
For the improvement in rife prac-
tice which has taken place since 1872,
and which Gen. Sherman once said was
equivalent to adding a division to the
strength of the army, the country is
indebted, first, to the national guard of
the state of New York; second, to the
Twenty-second regiment, and, third, to
company A, of that regiment, Chi

THE ARMY MULE.
An Admiral That WIl Never COM
maAd Respect for Its
COnsistency.

Bill Nye and many other humorists
wrote of the army mule and his anus
ing peculiarities, and while there has
been improvement in everything else
in the United States army since the
time when Nye wrote of the long-eared
animal, there has been absolutely none
in the mule himself.
| The army mule is as inconsistent as
a bar without mirror behind 1t. At
one time he may be found refiectively
| viewing the landscape, and at another
| he may be surprised calmly chewing
| the cover off a canteen, The mules at
Jefferson Barracks were no different to
the general run of the tribe, and when
the cavalry were loading on the freight
cars, preparatory to tEeir trip to Chick
amauga, the soldiers had the edge taken
off their disappointment at leaving
friends by the work Of loading the posts
| mules.
a big brown mule would walk quietly
up the platform to the entrance of the
| cars, gaze into the interior, flap his ears,
and before he knew what had happened,
six stalwart cavalrymen would put their
shoulders to his fanks, and with bost
and laugh the mule would land on
the inside of the car. Then another
would come along.
Look out for Ben!" would be the
cry; che kicks!" and everybody would
hustle out of the way. A gray-haired
veteran would look along the platform,
and, walking to the pile of fence rails
lying on the side, would select one,
shoulder it, and bring it to the place
of action, While Ben was gazing into
the car, four men caught hold of the
pole, two at each end. and, despite Ben's
struggles, into the car he went with the
pole pressed across his f1anks above the
knees, At last all the mules were on
except one, great, rough-coated young
animal, with wise eye,
Here's Dick! here's Dick!" cried the
delighted men, ''Now, what are you
going to do?" and everybody expected
fun to come. Dick is the post rogue,
with a temper like hot tamale, and a
desire to create a row that would do
credit to e self-respecting emigrant
from Donnybrook.
| 'Tain't no use to push Dick" re-
marked young cavalryman. "Dick
amt one of them kind. Anybody that
wants to, can help him aboard, but
you'll have to excuse me-" The crowd
was delighted.
Dick walked to the door of the car,
winked one eye rather wisely, tapped
his ears and then stepped into the car,
where he shouldered his way to good
place, and looked out through the
Stats.
"Well, I'll be durned!" said Dicks
friend, "I'm a-goin' to give him chaw
of terbacker." And he did.-Chicago
