and the United States has adopted the same policy in it's treatment of cables in the Philippines and the West Indies. Of course no belligerent can cut cables between neutral countries, even though these cables are indirectly the means of carrying information to an enemy. Spain has threatened to destroy the communication between this country and Europe, but the threat is empty, as all the trans-North Atlantic cables run between England and Nova Scotia. and are under the protection of the British government.
 The cables that attract particular at tention at present, and which are liable to be cut at any time, are those con- meeting Spain and her colonies with each other and the outside world. There is the cable from Manila. which Admiral Dewey cut. The end of this ca- ble was attached to buoy after the cutting, and as soon as Admiral Dewey has the proper telegraphing apparatus he will repair the break and open communications with Hong Kong. The other cables that have already been cut are the cable of the French West Indies Cable company, running from Santiago to Mole St. Nicholas, in Hayti, and the West India & Panama company's cable connecting Santiago with Jamai- ca. Admiral Schley has buoyed up the end of the latter cable and can use it to to communicate with Washington. He formerly had to send dispatch boats to Kingston or to Mole St. Nicholas before he could get into communication with Washington. The cable that was cut at Cienfuegos was only the coast cable running from Santiago to Havana
 More than month passed after war had been declared before Cuba was iso- lated through the cutting of the cables, and II Spain had been prepared to make vigorous fight. this month and a half

Cables that place the fleets of the world in almost instant communication with their governments, and which keep outlying possessions in constant touch with the mother country so that they may call for assistance or send in formation, play part in war nowadays as well defined as that of gunpowder.
 The war with Spain has demonstrated some of the cables possibilities for de- ciding the outcome of hostilities be- tween nations having nayies and colo nies. As soon as he got to the Cuban coast, Uncle Sam had his grapnels out and was hunting for the cables that kept Cuba in communication with the outer world. Dewey's first important act after the victory was to find the cable and cut the spaniards off from Hong-hong.
 There are at present nearly 16o,ooo miles of submarine cables twined around the earth. These cables have been laid by private companies and are operated for commercial purposes. There are 10000 miles of government cables, but these are mostly short lines.
 The actual ownership of cables has no bearing upon their use in war time, their location is the important consid- eration. England has declared that in time of war she will not be restricted by any laws for the protection of cables,

called, forms one of the most influential classes in the Philippines. always ex- cepting the Spanish official, civil or mil itary, and his circle, which lords itwitb high hand, and that sublime arrogance that would be absurd were it not brutal.
 The Philippine islander is probably the most persistently taxed creature the sun shines on in the world to-day, for the Spaniard's $ whole theory of taxation is nothing more nor less than an in- genious system of fspoliation. He wants the natives last copper and, generally speaking, he gets it.
 One must take into account in consid- ering this question of taxation that the laborer or small farmer in the Philip pines earns on an average of from five to perhaps fifteen cents day, and work

 For half the year none but the poor est class of unskilled laborers venture out Of doors 10 do any kind of work between the hours of eight h the morn ing and four in the afternoon.

ranges of mountains traverse them from north to south, thrustiEg up yer dure-elad peaks to height of from 5000 to 10000 feet above the level of the sea. Their general character is dis tinetly tropical; vegetation of all kinds fourishes to an excess. No winter as we understand the term exists. The year divides itself into three seasons, the cold, extending from November to March, when begins the period of great est heat, which lasts until June, and gives way to the rainy season, which continues till November. During the rainy season terrific thunderstorms are frequent, and the rain descends literally in torrents.

 The taxes are one of the natives standing grievances and the brutal manner in which they are extorted an other but there are still grayer wrongs that have been put upon him. These have crushed the manhood out of him, and then when they could not be borne longer, even at that price, they have driven him into the hills and jungles with the savage thirst for vengeance in lis heart. For the last half century he has been struggling for some share of freedom, revolt has followed close upon revolt Indeed the struggle may be said to date back 800 years, and to have begun with the first occupation of the islands by the Spaniards.
 The royal government, through it's agents, has stamped on these insur- rections mercilessly, and with an iron heel. In 1876, for example, the natives lost some 5000 of their best men in battle and by execution; six years later, in another revolt, several thou sand more were slain, while GOO men, who had been most active in the re belliou were beheaded or shot at Cayite. In 1896, a secret order called the Katipupan came into existence amongst the Malays and Chinese, the latter of whom have always been more or less active in the affairs of the islands. The purpose of the society was revolutionary. Each member took an cath ito remove by blood the bondage of Spain
 The Spaniards in some manner learned of the society and it's purpose, and tEen commenced long series of trials that were burlesques on justice and intended only to convict regardless of the evidence. Almost 5000 suspects were arrested, examined sentenced and shot. In the single month of No yember there were 800 executions on the Lunetta. the fashionable parade ground of Manila.
 These wholesale buteberies came to be social events, and lent pleasant variety to the otherwise rather Gonot-

cracked with thirst, and was the man who ventured down to the river with bis pail to bring water for himself and comrades. Coming back" he said, T drank like a pig all the way. l didn't care whether they shot me or not; was bound to have water"
 Sergt. George Watts, of K troop, who carries the sobriquet of Buckshot, and dignity enough for the whole command, saw service under Farragut in the first blockade. He began scouting Indians in '66 and was one of the guard of the Union Pacific railroad that fall. He served with Crook as his orderly, and was in the big fight with Crazy Horse on Powder river in '76. He was cor ralled in the Big Horn mountains with % others that summer. They had to leave their horses to draw the fire of the Indians while they ran-ran like devils until they fell panting among the rocks as if they were dead. They were wandering three days without food in the mountains, and the sergeant was mentioned in general orders for his gal lantry on this occasion. While was talking with him he opened before me sheet of wrinkled parchment. It bore the signature of Grover Cleveland, pres ident of the United States, and spoke of his bravery on that 9th day of July, 1876. It entities him to added pay at the rate of two dollars a month. Sergt. Watts is now very gray. His tone is low and confidential and has a touch of modesty. His features are well nodded, and after all the wear of war they carry a suggestion of the comeli- ness of his youth.
 Serg't Mike Tic1ney, also of K troop, Second cavalry, is an old-sehool Irish man, of the kind that one likes to know better. He is a grizzled veteran of % years eerYice. Humor and amiability are blended in his melliHuous brogue His tongue halts frequently between speech and expecteration, and then his gray eyes fash with humor.
 .'Were you at the front in the last war?" I inquired.
 "No," said he. T hadn't been long away from the front O me mother then. Sure, l was only eight years old when the war come"
 He was in the first cement with the Cheyennes iE Texas, under Mac Kenzie, in '75. On November 25 of that year he was in the great fight with the Sioux and Cheyennes. He fought the Apaches with Gen. Carr at Cibicue. A. T., August 30, 1881. He was one of the party who went to arrest the medicine man, when suddenly 5000 Indians cut loose and made for them. He, with others, fought their way out over the dead bodies of their comrades and got to Fort Apache afoot. He was in the Geronimo campaign of 's6 and was rid ing 13 months in pursuit of the famous chief.
 That man Tierney," said an officer, ''is one of the bravest men in the whole seryice,' and I believe it.
 The cavalry is likely to take the hot end of the fighting in Cuba, and these men and others like them will be at the front in the charges and win death or greater glory.

| is no more steady there than elsewhere. Yet he yields up by way of a poll tax the neat little sum of SIS year, while his wife pays q tax of S14.
 This tax is collected, too. Any at tempt at evasion is promptly and stern ly dealt with; if the eulprit is man the thumb screws are used, if woman she is stripped and publicly beaten.
 But this poll tax is merely the start. If the native is a small farmer, he must secure a license before he can pick and market the cocoanuts from his own trees. If he wishes to butcher a COW or bullock or shear his sheep, or cut down tree, he must first pay the inevitable license fee. Should he fail in this he is sold out of house and homo, sent to prison, or what not, according 10 the pleasure and whim of his Spanish mas ter.
 He must pay tax if he owns q beast Of burden of any sort-for this is spain's helpful method of encouraging him to thrift. Every article Of furni- ture heSvses is taxed.
