Gen. Shafter was clearly right in refu
sing to permit Admiral Sampson to trea1
the Spanish vessels captured in Santiago
harbor as prizes Of the navy. The navy
did practically nothing at Santiago. The
credit of the capture of that city and all
in it and around it belongs exclusively
to the army. The spoils are it's spoils and
there is no reason why the navy should
4aare in them to even the smallest extent.

in not trying to force his ships into the

but not having done SO and having left
the burden Of taking the city entirely
upon the army he cannot reasonably

In the recent explorations of Cojan,
"The Mysterious City of Honduras" by
George Byron Gordon, many ancient
tombs were opened. The location of these
was strange and unexpscted-beneath
the pavement of courtyards and under
the foundation of houses. They consist
of small chambers of very excellent ma
sonry. rooted sometimes by means of the
horizontal arch and sometimes by means
of slabs of stone resting ON the top of the
vertical walls.
In these tombs one, and sometimes two,
iLterments have been made. The bodies

Tho Cuban troops under Garcia appear
to have proved very Indifferent fighters
before Santiago, and rendered little SER
vice, while at Guantanamo they appear
to have been of considerable value This
difference is probably due to the different
kinds of fighting in the two places. At
Guantanamo they fought as guerilIas
soothing through the bush in small
bodies-a kind of warfare in which they
are thoroughly versed. At Santiago they
were called upon to fight in line and in
the open, kind of warfare to which
they Were never trained and in which
they had never had experience. The les
son of these two fights is that if we get
any valuable assistance out of Garcia S
soldiers it will be as scouts and skirmish-
ers. But the American soldiers are get.
ting SO thoroughly sick of them that they
may decline their assistance in any
capacity.
