OUR ARMY SHOES.
The United States Soldiers Wear the Best
Hand Sewed Footgear.

The United States Soldiers Wear the Best
Hand Sewed Footgear.
A famous general once said, "The
feet Of an army win its battles" just
how far this is true only the experts
know. It is certain, however, that the
utmost care is taken to get the most
comfortable and durable shoes for the
United States soldiers that skill can
produce and that money can buy.
The quartermaster generals specifica-
tions for the contractors who make the
army shoe cover four pages of small
type. The last on which the shoes are
made is prescribed by the quartermaster
general. and inspectors are placed In
the factories to see that the contractors
conform strictly to the specifications.
The result is that the United States
soldiers wear the best hand sewed shoes.
Experts declare that no better shoe is
made in the world. The government
pays from t.991S to $2.3716 a pair for
tens Of thousands of pairs at time.
The same system of definite speciflca-
tions and rigid inspection is followed in
the case Of every supply contracted for
by the Quartermaster generals depart
ment. William e. Curtis in Chicago

FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

The news from the Philippines
is wholly encouraging, and there
seems to be not the slightest doubt
that Dewey, through all the weeks
that have intervened since that
memorable May Day morning,
has maintained uninterruptedly
the prestige which he secured by
his crushing blow to Spanish au-
thority in the Orient.
The insurgents, reported to be
pressing close upon the garrisons
at Manila, seem to be proceeding
with their campaign without in
dulging in the barbarism with
which they have been commonly
credited or in reprisals for the ter
rible acts of the Spaniards who, in
the Philippines as in Cuba, have
demonstrated themselves barbar-
ians in act If not in name.
1t is yet an open question
whether the United States forces
now bound out to Manila will not
find it their most difficult task to
control and keep in order the in
surgents rather than to conquer
the Spaniards, but the indications
are at least encouraging that the
insurgents are by no means so
black as we may have been led to
paint them and are susceptible to
kind of government approaching
the civilized.

CUBANS IN FLORIDA.

Their Peculiar Employment Units Them
For Physical Labor and For Enlistment.
1t is explained that the reason why
the Cuban refugees in Florida do not
enlist-and they are said to be from
80, 600 70 80, 600 in number--is that
they are cigar makers and cannot march.
Their peculiar employment units them
for physical laobr. They sit ~ hours a
day upon benches with their legs cury-
ed up under them. They never take any
exercise. They smoke necessarily, drink
vast quantities Of strong coffee, and the
muscles Of their legs are flabby and
without strength. They can sit day aft
or day rolling cigars without becoming
tired, but few Of them can walk moro
than q mile, 1t is said, without becom-
ing exhausted.
II is from this GLASS that the junta
has drawn moaney which has paid the
expenses of the insurrection. In nearly
all Of these cigar factories Cubans have
regularly given one days pay week
for the benefit Of the junta, and when
ever pay day comes representative Of
the treasurer of that organization is al
ways ON hand, sitting beside the pay
master to receive his share Of the mon

Even tho Generals Daughter Wants to
Go to Cubs-would Bo Nurse.
General Wheeler has a son in the ar
tillery at Tampa who, like his father,
is small of stature, but full OF sand.
With General Wheeler Is his daughter
Annie, young woman of 30, whose
interest in the troops and the cause Of
free Cuba is irrepressible. But she is
not content with being merely interest
ed. She wants to accompany the army
to Cuba and to follow the fortunes of
her father and brother. So she has ap-
piled to q. O. Elwell, who Is In charge
of the Red Gross arrangements for the
campaign, to become nurse.
General Wheeler is too much in ear
nest himself to oppose his daughters
wishes. There is still another member
Of the Wheeler family who wants to
serve his country, cadet at Annapolis.
Cadet Wheeler IL too young for gradu-
alton, and he has applied to Secretary

The late Lieutenant Commander
+. w. Sturdy, well-known in this
city. was one of the Rhode Island
representation in the line of the
navy of whom Captain John r.
Bartlett is the senior. although
technically Mr.. Sturdy's appoint
ment to the service was credited
to Maine. Thiswas due to the fact
that some Maine congressman with
a vacancy to fill from his district
at the Naval Academy named the
boy from Rhode Island, courtesy
that is occasionally extended by
one congressman to his fellows.
The list of Rhode. Islanders in
the navy today is not large, but
several OF them have important
positions with the fleet. Com
mander Benjamin +. Tilley of
Bristol, commands the little COM
posite gunboat Newport which
has been seen in these waters, and
since returning from her special
service in connection with the work
of the Nicaragua Canal commits
sion has been with Sampson on
the blockade. Commander Will
liam L. Swinburne, who is several
numbers senior on the list to Com
mander Tilley and is a Newporter,
is the skipper of the light draft
gunboat Helena which has already
distinguished herself in Cuban
waters. Lieutenant Herbert O.
Dunn, also Newporter, is on the
monitor Terror, we believe, Lieut..
Gunior grade) Henry E. Parmen-
ter and Ensign Frank III. Clark,
Jr., Newporters, are in service
on smaller vessels. We have no
doubt they are all giving a good
account of themselves every day

sPAIN's RESERVE FLEET.

1t IS now definitely announced
that Spain's reserve fleet at Cadiz
will sail for Cuba in two weeks"
The Spanish armada, No. 2, is
composed principally, as appears,
OF the Pelayo. Alfonso XII, Carlos
v, the Vittoria and as many
smaller fry craft as you please.
The Pelayo, at least, is an admirable
ship providing she is in good shape.
She Is Spain's only battleship and
her biggest and most powerful in
armor and armament. But she
seems never to be in shape to go
to sea for long stay, and as the
strength of the cadiz feet largely
depends upon her 1t is likely to
be rather more than two weeks
before the armada No. starts for
Cuba or anywhere else farther
off than the Canaries.
Indeed, It is not unlikely that
before the cadiz feet gets away
from its anchorage an American
squadron will have arrived just
outside waiting for it.

"When our soldiers meet the soldiers
of Spain in battle, said General George
w. Wingate, who has been called "the
father Of rife practice in America, {" "it
will be seen that the difference In the
shooting Of the two armies with small
guns Is as great as the difference OF the
two navies with big guns The Span
iards have demonstrated that they can
not use modern cannon to any advan-
tage, while our navy has astonished the
world by the accuracy of its fire. The
same thing In regard to rifles Will be
found when our troops and Spain
come together. am not afraid to main
tain that in all the world you will not
find any soldiers who are such good
marksmen as ours, and the men of the
national guard are not far behind.
"The great skill in craftsmanship
which is possessed by the regular army
and the national guard is expected to
give them an overwhelming advantage
over the Spaniards The latter are mis-.
erable shots and under very poor fire
discipline. In the battles with the Gu
bans it was reported that every time
the Spaniards fired they emptied the
magazines Of their rifles, which contain
five cartridges, without taking any par
ticular aim, and consequently without
doing any damage. Our troops, OH the
other hand, are trained shots, and their
fire will be deadly. New York Sun.
