VIM. R. HEARST of the New
York Journal, who has been one
of the most persistent critics of
McKinley's war policy, has been
to Cuba, and has had his eyes
opened to the real condition of
things there. This is, what he
says:
The spirit Of the army is high.
The officers have the full control
of the men. There is no apparent
clash of authority, and it is now
obvious, not only to military
critics, but 70 laymen, that Nc
Kinley wisely chose not to send
these thousands of men into this
scorching, blistering jungle until
it was an effective army, we'll bal
anced and adjusted, and fit to fight
a desperate enemy under a tropic
sun. The army got here neither
too soon nor too late. The stroke
was timed with sure judgment.
Now that l am here on the spot |
can actually see the difficulties
and peculiarities of this cam
paign. ! am satisfied that Nc
Kinley was right in deciding to
attack Santiago rather than Ha-
yana. With good water and high
ground here we may accomplish
in the rainy season what would
have been a sheer impossibility in
the deadly lowlands and swamps
of Havana province.

The fierce engagements of Fri
day and Saturday between the
American and Spanish armies
demonstrated the fighting capaci-
ty of the Americans and the finest
qualities of enthusiasm, courage,
and soldierly spirit. Both armies
were armed with improved rifles
and used the most modern artil-
lery. 1t was really the first battle
in twenty years between two we'll
organized and disciplined armies
using the latest inventions in fire.

II RIFLED MORTAR.
Its First Prsotioal Test In war WIN Be
Msdoa At Santiago.

III First Practical Test In Wa WIN Be
Made 1t Santiago.
There are many devices to be used at
Santiago on the landing Of American
troops ON Spanish soil that are receiv-
ing their first practical test in war. The
rifed mortar is one, the value Of which
all the foreign military attaches who
are observing the operations Of General
Skaters corps r directed to particu-
larly report upon. This mortar is an
American invention, OF, rather, the ap-
p~licatiom sof we'll known principles Of
gunnery in q new manner.
The. new mortar is 8 feet long, breech-
loading, with 4 feet Of rifling to give
the 600 pound shell it's revolving mo.
tiom. The bursting charge Is 50 pounds
Of compressed gun cotton. It is fired by
. percussion primer fitted on a tube
which the impact explodes, whether the
shell falls on earth or water. The best
results are achieved at from one mile to
FIVE. Seven miles distance 10 its ex-
treme range. At any Of Its effective
ranges it's huge conical shell can be
dropped into q five acre field when once
the range is found, which is usually
after the second shot, with the new
range finder.
II this rifed mortar Is successful
then modern fortiAcationA, like Metz,
for instance, are as obsolete as is the
old dintlook musket. Herein lies Eu.
ropes extreme interest in this Amer.
lean invention. Metz is absolutely i'm.
pregnable with the present means Of
siege. Il ShaftG's mortars do what
Americans claim they will do, Metz,
Qronstadt, the great fortress at Buda-
pest and others all over Europe as de-
feuses are but an iridescent Dreams
