New Haven Journal Courier: The
army mule came out Of the civil war
not exactly naloed. but much respected.
He has won more laprels In the Yanko-
spanko war, and though he will prob
ably not get all the praise due him, he
will be occasionally mentioned IN song
or story, and possibly in government
report. His achievements In cuba have
been very meritorious. He went there
a stranger to the climate, and all un-
used to the horrors OF war. From the
quiet and peace Of a southern planta-
ton he was plunged into the tumult
and disorder Of the Cuban campaign.
He stood the plunge well. Serene amidst
alarms, patient in battle, he has Prov
ed himself hero. If he has OCCASION
ally kicked, II is not more than most OF
those who have had anything to do with
the Cuban campaign have done, and his
kicking has not been called hostile to
the administration. SO It has not done
much harm and has probably done
some good.
Twelve hundred robust and heroic
army mules have been sent to Cuba,
and It is recorded that only twenty-five
have died. They have defed oil the
rules OF sanitary science. They haven't
drunk boiled water or slept on plat
forms lifted above the ground. And
yet they live 10 tell the tale and wag the
tall. Much longer life to them, and
more fun. They are interesting war
riors and much more useful and heroic
than some OF the young noblemen who
were pulled" into the army.
