THE SPANISH ARMY IN CUBA.
(Boston Transcript.

Following are the impressions of an
which he has recently returned, of the
Spanish army and Spanish military
methods. This gentleman in the course
If his career as traveller has observed
many armies and has seen wars.
To begin: The Spanish officers may be
divided into three classes: A very few
who are up to date, who are students of
their profession and have stored up
knowledge against the coming of such an
emergency as confronts them in Cuba
The plumber of officers of this character
is SO small that they can scarcely be said
20 constitute class. You may know
personally scores of Spanish officers with
out meeting with one tnat answers this
description. When you meet one of these
men he will so stand out from his fellows
that you will nevsr forget him. The vast
majority Of the Spanish officers are
simply commonplace. They may be fairly
enough divided into two types. One of
these is made up of men who simply keep
their places by the force of inertia that
governs the whole Spanish service. They
have about that degree of courage that
enables man to go ahead with Others
and to pass through campaign without
disgrace.
These men are above the common SOL
diers in intelligence but not much above
the non-commissioned officers The Sec
ond type is a man of undoubted courage,
who is rough and tough, fighting will
ingly enough but never lighting well,
being lacking in intelligence. They fight
like savages, without foresight or redec-
ton. They are incapable of any leader
ship, they simply fight as one of crowd.
The opportunities of conflict favorable to
their side pass unheeded by these men
who keep firing straight ahead. There
is no comparison between the mass of
American officers and the mass of the
Spanish officers. The officers of the
American army are cultivated men, both
professionally and socially. They are
trained for their business and they have
been selected for training because OF de-
monstrated intelligence Even the volun-
teer officers, though raw, are as rule in
tellfgent men.
between the commissioned officers of
the Spanish army and the non-commis-
stoned officers is an enormous descent.
Inc Spanish non-coms. are below the
level OF the same rank in any other army

ENGLAND WITH THE HEAVY HAM

(From Alisons "Life of Marlborough. ~
England has inflicted far greater land
disasters on her redoubtable neighbor
France than all the military monarchies
of Europe put together. English armies
for 100 years ravaged France, while Eng
land has not seen the fires of a French
camp since the battle of Hastings. Eng
fish troops have twice taken the French
capital; an English King was crowned
at Paris; French King rode captive
through London; French Emperor died
in English captivity, and his remains
were surrendered by English generosity.
Twice the English horse marched from
Calais to the Pyrenees; once from the
Pyrenees to Calais; the monuments of
Napoleon in the French capital at thi
moment owe their preservation from Ger
man revenge to an English general.
All the great disasters, and days of
mourning for France since the battle of
Hastin gs-Tenohebray, Cressy, Poitiers,
Agincourt. Verneuil, Crevant, Blenheim,
Oudenarde, Ramillis, Malplaquet, Min
eoH, DoUOihSou, Suepec, Egypt, IalaVera,
Salamanca Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Or.
thes, Waterloo-were gained by English
generals, and won, for the most part, by
English soldiers. Even at Fontenoy. the
greatest victory of which France can
boast since Hastings every regiment in
the French army was, on their own ad-
mission, routed by the terrible English
column, and victory was snatched from
its grasp solely from want of support on
the part of the Dutch and Austrians. No
coalition against France has ever been
successful in which England did not take
a prominent part; none in the end has
failed of gaining its objects, in which
she stood foremost in the fight.

York students here-L. L. Campbell,
D. G. Thompson, J. A. Taylor and K
L. Anderson. All feel at home among
the hospitable people, and are well
pleased. Greenville, Spartanburg
Lancaster and Edgefeld are also rep
resented.
Serator Tillman made speech here
a few nights ago. There was large
audience present. The senator deVo,
ted himself to the silver question and
was cheered with much enthusiasm
He says Bryan will be the next presi
dent.
One of the most interesting places
here is the JEFF Davis mansion, some
time ago converted into Confederate
museum, and now filed with all kinds
of relics of the war. Several OF the
boys, few days ago, paid visit TO
the battlefield of Seven Pines.
