horses with a blanket, as the reporters
say. Vanderbilt looked across at me-

he logged by easily. Then the COM
modore began to call on Small Hopes,
and the horse went right up in the air.
There was quite a crowd at the club
house and every man in 1t hoWled TIL
he was hoarse. The commodore was
so sore about it that he never cared to
mention the circumstance.
Commodore Vanderbilt, though
skilled reinsman, was the most reck-
less driver on the road in the old Har-
lem lane days. and his collisions with
other drivers were frequent.
1.-THE narrowest escape of my life
was when the commodore ran into me.
I was driving a single horse. He was
driving Mountain Maid and Mountain
Boy. He was going up the lane and l
was coming down. 1 first saw him
whizzing along like streak of creased
lightning two or three blocks away, his
horses swaying from side to side. AS
near as l could tell he was due to- be on
my side of the road about the time we
were to meet and l looked for trouble
So did my horse, and it was hard work
to keep him from turning short about
and upsetting me right there. The
crash came in less time after that than

could by swinging my horse so that he
wouldn't be pierced by the pole of the
| commodore's wagon. The way l fixed
| things my horse and Mountain Boy
came together so hard that it knocked
| the breath out of both of them.
'Vanderbilt's rig was all smashed up
and 1 thought the commodore was
] killed, sure. He went right down among
the horses, head first, with his feet in
the air, and yelling like wild Indian.
| The shock knocked him senseless. The
wagon was not damaged beyond the
| springing of the front axletree and my
horse was injured so little that | was
able to drive him home They carried
| the commodore to- the clubhouse near
by and brought him to. AS soon as he
opened his eyes he asked for me.
"'Oh, Fuller has driven home they

What did he say? Nothing. He
wasn't man of many words at any
time, and he had some hard thinking
to do just then. He never spoke about
the accident to me-

It cannot be said that the prepare

three months of the war deserve TO De
called excellent or that they achieved
brilliant results. But it would not be
just to blame them for their want OF
success for war in Cuba is very differ
ent from war in more healthy region
and they must have lost heavily
through fevers. Certain it is that they
would have been IN a very disagreeable
position if Santiago had held out some
what longer.
Unless General Toral was out of am
munition and provisions and had been
ordered to surrender, his surrender is
not compatible with military honor and
a sense of duty. Reasons of humanity,
the desire to prevent bloodshed, etc,
may not influence an able military
commander. Very often they are only
mentioned to conceal weakness and
want of decision, as unfortunately the
history of Prussia shows, when, in 1906,
a number of commandments surrendered
to Napoleon !. Not only military glory
but substantial advantages could have
been reaped If Santiago had followed
the example of Saragossa. The long
resistance of Kolberg, Kosel. Graudenz
and Danzig was of great value to Prus-
STA.
No doubt the Americans possess
courage. endurance and physical
strength in a large degree. Esprit de
corps, obedience and punctuality, all
very necessary military attributes
they cannot acquire in time of peace
with their present system; and with
out these they cannot well realize their
wish for expansion, however much
their national pride may have risen.
That the Spaniards have courage, en-
durance and patriotism they have
shown often enough. but their parlia-
mentary institutions undoubtedly hurt
the army.
| Spain has been advised to conclude
peace, and for the sake of trade and
! industry peace is devoutly to be
wished. Yet it should not be forgotten
that posterity judges a nations right tc

| The Spaniards are not to be blamed
il they are unwilling to evacuate a
province in which they have 100000

even their Government is bound to

scores of good lively steppers, but
Fuller George was the best one OF
them all He was true as steel. HIS
temper was perfect. He was never in
bad condition. He was positively the
prettiest horse I ever saw. Best of all,
he was never beaten on the road.
Il shall never forget the day he out
trotted Small Hopes, driven on old
Harlem lane by Commodore Wander
bilt Any old-timer will tell you that
Small Hopes was one of the crack step

2:1S1s. My Fuller George had no track

track horses since my only object in
owning fast horses has been that l
might win pleasure and health by driv-
ing them. But Fuller George was a
better footer than Small Hopes. as 1
proved to the commodore one pleasant
June morning about twenty-five years
ago.
"A good many of the commodore's
friends had told him that Small Hopes
was all right, but he wasn't in the
same class as Fuller George. Wander
bilt pooh-poohed at that, of course.
But all the same, he understood full
we'll that his horse must beat mine or
be beaten sooner or later, and so he
was on the lookout for me.
"As I drove down the lane that
morning 1 saw the commodore sitting
up stiff and straight behind his pride
and joy, and I noticed that he had his
eye on me and my horse. Small
Hopes had his eye peeled, too. High
bred horses know when their drivers
are getting ready to speed them as well
as the drivers do, and Small Hopes

H4 well known among those inter
ested in psychical research as a
liberal minded and conscientious
investigator. He was an unmarried man,
and instead of living in the suburbs after
the fashion of his class he occupied rooms
in the Albany, near Piccadilly. He was
particularly interested in the questions
of thought transference and of appari-
tons of the living, and in November,
1896, he commenced a series of expert
ments, in conjunction with Mr.. Vincent
of Staple Inn in order to test the al
legged possibility of projecting an appari-
ton on ones self by force OF Will across
an intervening space.
The experiments were conducted in the
following manner: At prearranged
hour Mr. Bessel shut himself in one of
his rooms in the Albany, and Mr.. Vim
cent in his sitting rooms in Staple Inn,
and each of them fixed his mind as reso-
lutte as possible on the other. Mr.. Bessel
had acquired the art of self-hypnotism,
and so far as he could he attempted first
10 hypnotize himself and then to project
himself as a phantom of the living
across the Intervening space OF nearly
two miles into Mr. VincentS apartments
On several evenings this was tried with
out any satisfactory results, but on the
fifth or sixth occasion Mr.. Vincent did
actually see or imagine he saw an appari-
ton of Mr.. Bessel standing in his room.
He states that the appearance, although
brief was very vivid and real. He noticed
that Mr.. Bessel's face was white and his
expression anxious, and moreover that
his hair was disordered For q moment
Mr.. Vincent in spite of his state of ex-
recitation, was too surprised. to speak
or move and in that moment II seemed
to him as though the figure glanced
over his shoulder and incOntnentiy van
ished.
1t had been arranged that an attempt
should be made to photograph any phan-
tasm seen, but Mr.. Vincent had not the
instant presence of mind to snap the
camera that lay ready on the table be-
side him. and when he old so he was too
late Greatly elated, however, even by
this partial success, he made a note Of
the exact time and at once took a cab TO
the Albany to inform Mr. Bessel of this
result.
He was surprised to find Mr.. Bessel' s
outer door standing open to the night,
and the inner apartments lit and vacant,
and in an extraordinary disorder. An
empty champagne magnum lay smashed
upon the flocr; its neck had been broken
off against the inkpot on the bureau and

~ ENERAL Won BOGUSLAWS-
XII. in the Berlin National lei
tung, gives a series of critical
u essays on the Spanish-Amerlcan
war. This eminent military
critic on the whole thinks that the
American army did not cover Itself
with glory, although it did quite as well
as could have been expected. AT any
rate the Americans proved themselves
a vigorous people, whose failures were
due to their military system rather
than TO their character. His remarks
on the attitude Of the Spaniards are
more scathing. Not only did the Span
ish officers blunder in every particular,
but they exhibited a want Of courage
which reminded him Of that pesNod of
deep humiliation ever before the eyes
of a Prussian officer-the war of 1906.
We summarize General Boguslawski' s
remarks as follows:
1t is a healthy theory which led Mar
shall Blanco to mass 5000 to 1000 men
near threatened points; but IN practice
one is inclined to attempt too much.
Besides, it is very difficult. to move
troops in Cuba during the rainy season.
But whatever the cause, it is not easy
TO see why so few troops were near
Santiago, for an attack was to be ex-
pected there, if only because the in
surgents were there strongest In num-
Der. The Americans could easily have
been held near Santiago. especially as
they were lacking in cavalry, although
the insurgents in some measure sup
piled this want.
It seems incomprehensible' why Adj
miral Camara did not GO to Cuba
where his squadron would have evened
UP matters to some extent. His trip tC
Port Said was absolutely tactica
mistake. The destruction of Cervera's
ships does not prove that these vessels
were not fitted for their work. Their
armor was lighter, their artillery in
ferior to that of the Americans. II
spite of these disadvantages it should
have been possible for the Spaniards tC
ram the Americans, if the former ha6
been spirited enough. The spirit of 6
Nelson must tell in the future as vel
as in the past Tegethoff, with his
wooden vessels, was probably In g
worse position at LISA than was Ger
vera in his fight against the Ameri.
