The new Krug-Jorgensen bullet has
great penetrative power, easily going
through so boards each an inch thick.
Being long and slender, it bores its way
through. or rather cuts through. 1t does
not deliver q staggering blow like the
large caliber bullets. which are too big
TO cut their way through. The new bull
let has no stopping power, and men
who are shot in muscular parts may
even not know they were struck. but
keep on fighting.
The small caliber bullet may even 90
through tho lung. producing so little
harm that the soldier may quickly re-
cover All this is pa-tly because IL de-
livers no blow and loses little Of its en-
ergy. With bullet proof cloth 1t Is stop

OF itself may be fatal II over the heart

How It Appeared to London wsr Cor
respondent.

respondents
@. p. Nuttall, war correspondent OF
the London Telegram, is the first Of the
correspondents to return from Santiago.
Mr.. Nuttall w-ns present at the skirmish
between tho Spaniards and Roosevelt's
rough riders at Sibonsy, aud he gives .
most interesting account OF the fight.
He says that tho Americans were out
numbered and that the Spanish could
have achieved complete victory II they
had continued to press forward from the
beginning. Thoy imagined, however,
that the entire American army was In
front Of them and after the first attack
fell back with great loss
The old style Springfield rifles, with
which many Of the volunteers are arm
ed, arc most severely condemned by Mr..
Nuttall. He says that it is the height OF
folly to send to the front men armed
with these old fashioned rifles. The
Spaniards use smokeless powder and the
latest improved weapons. They open
fire ON the Americans at distance far
greater than the old style weapons will
carry and consequently the volunteers
are at great disadvantage in every bat
tic. This was especially noticeable ON
July !, when the Thirty-third Michigan
was brought forward to re.enforce the
American army. The men soon found
that they were being picked of by the
Spaniards, who were entirely out OF
range of their guns. The Michigan men
at once began picking up the Krag-Jor-
genscn rifles, dropped by the regulars,
and taking tho cartridge belts, so as to
have the proper kind OF ammunition.
Tho London correspondent said that
the Americans fought like 1ends There
was no giving way. They stood their
ground when officers and men were fall
| ing thick all around them. In speaking
of the rough riders. no said that they
went in TO the fight ss ooolly as though
stepping up TO bar TO take drink. In
this fight the newspaper correspondent
were marching with the rough rider'
and consequently were soon In the thicl

Fight at Camp Alger.

News comes from the camp OF the
First Rhode Island Volunteers at Camp
Alger, Va, of a rather serious fight be-
tween two members of Company l., In
which Private Thomas Gilhllen was
seriously stabbed with a. bayonet by
Private Andrew Frayne. Both men are
from Woonsocket and are well known
in that city. The affray occurred on
Sunday evening, and II Is said began in
a dispute about money matters ana
then came to blows. Gilhllen was
stabbed seven times, and at least one
wound Is said to be very serious. the
left lung being punctured. He also re-
ceiyed one bayonet thrust on the left
side Of the neck. near the jugular vein.
one thrust in front and one thrust back
of the upper left arm and one thrust In
the left side, and also two minor
wounds on the left side OF the face,
which is badly swollen, as IL IT was
struck heavily.
The wounded man was at once taken
to the hospital, where Drs. Harvey and
Robinson said his condition was very
serious. Gilfillen was given sub
cutaneous injections Of morphine to re-
lieve the intense pain that he suffered
Frayne was at once placed under ar
rest, and is under close guard, not be-
ing allowed to communicate with any
body. Frayne says he has no recollec'
ton of the affair. He will be closely
guarded until Gilfllen's condition as
sumes some definite aspect, and vii
probably be then transferred to some
point for trial.

Cervera's fleet. He says, In one pas
sage: Hugh. the fight only lasted AZ
minutes from the time we cleared snip
for action until the Vizcaya surrender

the former ship came aboard our ves-
sci he kissed his sword and handed II
to Bob but the old sport couldn't

head pretty badly"

1t is an odd circumstance that the
first and the last battle in the war
which, was started about Cuba took
place on the opposite side of the
globe from that island. Each battle,
moreover, was glorious victory.
The real naval hero Of the war is
Dewey and not Sampson or Scl,ley.
These, of course. as well MS the cOn,-
mandcrs OF severai "f the other shi rs
under them have won deserved fame
but the naval officer of the JIispanO-
American war of 1898 who will he
best remembered in 1898 and 2O98 is
Dewey. Ills victories nlso will have
greater influence on the countries
political future than will those of the
other naval commanders. Upon
these victories American empire in
tina Pacific Will depend. The victory
of may / made Hnwaii's annexation
in the recent session of Congress
