Costly Mistakes In the Santiago
Campaign.

The corps that went to Santiago
was virtually the regular army.
Every regiment that wept to Tampa
went there ready for service. Theil
equipment was just as complete on
April rs as it was on June G. They
wore the same clothing to Cuba that
they had brought from Sheridan,
Assinniboine, and Sherman. They
brought with them their wagons and
mules, their tents and camp equipage.
There should have been no problems
to solve in regard to them, and yet
there were many. Owing to delays in
the supply departments they wore win
ter clothing for their service in the tor
rid zone, and drew summer clothing
there just in time to return to the
bracing breezes of Montauk, where,
in their enfeebled condition, winter
clothing would have been more suit
able. When they landed in Cuba
their wagons and mules had vanished.
Consequently rations, of which there
were abundance at Baiquri, were slow
in coming up and were doled out one
meal at time, and short at that. |
The vegetables spoiled before they
got to the men who were suffering for
them, and men died for lack Of medi-
zines which were abundant only
eighteen miles away.
There was over a month at Tampa
to forsee all this, and around the
tents OF company officers it was fore
seen and discussed. Why not in the
supply departments? Are we to con-
clude that it was impossible to get
beans, rice. and canned fruits enough
to take the place of potatoes and
onions? That it was impossible in
Forty days to get summer clothing?
There were ten thousand firms in the
United States who would have nm
iertaken to provide these things and
Who would have put them in Santiago
tself for consideration. The only
'onclusion is that these necessities
we're not iorseen by the supply de-
'artments in time, although they were
y the line officers generally. 1t did
ot require a prophet to say that
would spoil on transport
the torrid zone; that bacon, hard
ack, and canned roast beef were NOT
suitable diet alone for campaigning
the tropics; that the winter cloth.
g worn in Michigan winters would !
very uncomfortable 10 the heat Of !
utbern Cuba. The reason for these
lclencies must be sought and found :
Hess we are to infict similar suffer,
z on our soldiers in future.--Re- Z

JIM WALKER is a man of regrets,
He regrets the part he took in the
war between the states and further
that he affiliated for so long a time
with the democratic party before his
Change" His party friends also
regret for him that after two terms in
congress he has a record so unseemly
and that he has been such an utter
failure as a representative Of the
peoples interests.-Ncw Castle Re-

A Model Army Hospital.

The beautiful and historic grounds ant
buildings of the Washington Arsena
occupying a narrow point of ground a
the junction of the Eastern Branch with
the main body of the Potomac, at the
National Capital, have been transformed
into a military hospital, which, save per-
haps in the number of patients under
treatment, will compare favorably with
any of Uncle Sans institutions of this
kind. A visit to the grounds by veteran
of the war of the Rebellion who may have
survived the treatment furnished him in
the army hospitals in 1881 % would be al
once impressed with the improvements
that have taken place since, in the methods
that have been adopted in caring for the
sick and wounded
There are at present about four hundred
patients at the Arsenal grounds. Nearly
if not quite all the regiments that took
part in the campaign in Santiago, Cuba,
have representatives Eere. A very large
majority of the patients are convalescing
from fevers contracted in the service. but
there are many suffering from wounds.
Among the wounded are several who are
suffering from the effects produced by
explosive bullets, and there have been one
or two deaths from blood poisoning re-
sulting from copper bullets, thus furnish
ing proof of the fact that the Spaniards
have resorted to the use of both of these
forms of projectiles which have been con-
demned by all civilized nations. The
buildings in The grounds have |
been converted into hospital wards and as
additional accommodations long lines of
snowy tents beneath the giant oaks along
the river front present an attractive view
from passing steamers.
Many of the wounded men are so far
advanced upon their road to recovery that
they are able to walk about the grounds
and while one meets at every hand men
moving about by aid of crutches and
others with arms in slings, the absence of
Empty sleeves and Of other evidences of
he use of the surgeons knife serve as
eloquent proof of the triumph achieved in
modern surgery. Doubtless many of the
Wounds received by the men now at the
Arsenal grounds armory and which will
esuit in perfect cure, would few wears

More Confidence In Wheat.

There is a tendency in the wheat
trade to accept as probably correct
the estimates of the United States
wheat production, which are more
moderate than some of the oversaguine
calculations of the yield put forth by
experts earlier in the season. EST.
mate of a production of 600, 100000
bushels are more in favor than the
700, 100000 bushels yield predicted
in June and July.
This conservatism of CROP guessing
in the absence of precise data con-
corning acreage and thrashing results
will do no harm even if the actual
yield should confirm the accuracy of
the earlier maximum estimates. 1t
has already had tendency to arrest
the unwarrahted bearishness of specu-
lation. The best authorities agree
that the wheat yield of the world APP
proxlmates more nearly to the
abundant harvests of 1894 than has
that of any other year, but it is con-
coded also that the worlds reserve
stocks are very much smaller now
than they were in 1894. After
season of extraordinary stock deple
ton the natural impulse of traders
and consumers the world over to up
build reserves may reasonably be ex-
oected TO prevent undue depression of |
'alues. This, at least, is the pre-
dominant sentiment now manifest
o the wheat markets -PhilQdelphia

Captain John ID. Hart, through his
counsel, United States Senator Gray, of
DelaM are, will offer the saucy steamer
Bermuda to the government without
conditions, whatever, to be used in any
service she is best fitted for. The Ber-
muda was the fastest of the Hart line of
steamers which ran in the fruit trade
between this port and the West Indies.
1t was claimed by DR.. Jose Congoto,
when he was Spanish Consul at this
port, that she carried four military ex-
petitions to Cuba during the second
year of the instruction, and that her
speed saved her from being captured by
the Spanish gnnboats. Her last voyage
for the J. ID. Hart Company was in May
OF last year, when she was in command
OF Captain Murphy, who was alleged to
be one of the most daring and successful
Of the tilibustering shippers.
