BARRED WIRE IN WAR.
The Spanish Method of Making
"TrOchaso With 1t.

From the New York Tribune.
Many accounts of the operations near San
tiago and other Places in Cuba show that
barbed wire plays an important part IN the
defense of the island. It has been known
ever since the revolution began in Cuba that
the Spanish trocha or dead line was marked
with barbed wire, but until the United States
troops reached the island there were only in
distinct ideas as to how the wire was used
and to what extent 1t became an impediment
TO an invading or opposing force.
1t was believed by many that these barbed
wire abatis were simply wire fences of from
four to eight feet high. but it has been found
that they are not built on the fence plan.
The wire is stretched from tree to tree
at irregular heights. Sometimes a strand
will be fastened to stump, and from there
to a height of eight or ten feet on a tree
then down again to the next tree to a height
of three or four feet from the ground In
this way hedges with six or eight strands of
barbed wire are run along for mics
the construction being so irregular that one
never knows where to look for thaindividual
strands. The whole forms a formidable bar
rier.
This style of abatis is popular in all South
ern countries, and has been used wherever
there has been war since barbed wire be-
came a commercial commodity The only
thing like barbed wire hedge used in the
Civil war was telegraph wire hedge at the
siege of Knoxville.
1t has been said by the Cuban and South
American leaders that the barb wire is
superior to wood abatis made frcm limbs of
trees. because the wood can be torn tc pieces
by artillery fire, and once down the forces
can march through the breach. It can 50
be set on fire. The barbed wire abatis en-
not be destroyed in that way, and Thomas A.
Edison has suggested that a dynamo might
make the collection of wire strands exceeding
ly hard to handle But it does not appear
that the scientific methods have been en-
ployed by the Spanards, and their wire
hedges were simply Irregular, obs .ina'e and
most uncomfortable things which vie d
however. to the nppers with which the
troops were supplied.
The large manufacturers OF barbed wire
say that while great quantities Of thu ir prodo
uct were sent to Cuba during the last two
years, they have no means of knowing how
much OF 1t was used in building Offensive
works. They discredit the report that the
American expedition to Manila carried many
tons of barbed wire to be used IN building
hedges similar to those used in Cuba. They
believe that much wire has been sent there
but they say that it will be used for pur-
poses of peace and not for war

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
GRAND.

The Mckee Rankin company gave a popu-
lar rendition of Lovells translation of In
gomar' last evening at the Grand 1t cannot
be said that the performance was faultless
Miss O'Neil has great capacity for the de-
Plctlon OF the passions in their more tragic
forms, but she is not ingenious. There were
tunes when she suggested Marlowe in the
entire ingenuousness of her work, but these
periods were few and far between. The en-
tire sweetness of her characterization was
gratifying at times, but she was unfortu-
nately lacking in the essentials of the part
at other times. Not that Miss O'Neil is net
a very we'll supplied actress, but that she is
not fitted for the general expression of the
tender passion in its tenderest essentials. Sac
was charming at times in the third act but
the charm was not sustained. She is always
pleasant to lcok upon and generally agree
able to listen to, but she was suffering from
the strain that had been imposed on her
voice in Leah and 1t was not agreeable.
Mr.. Hot read the art OF Ingomar. He did
not Pl it. There was not the least touch
of cc.or to his reading, and he evidently
lacked capacity for the part.
Mr. Weaver does of the best bits that
has been seen in this town in many day
in the part of Polydor. The part is one that
has been attempted by many master of stage
craft, and it never was played to better ad-
vantage than Mr.. Weaver plays it, He is a
study worth seeing.

bantes and Mr.. Carr played the part of the

Patriotic Germans.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
When OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES get together now
a-days, their patriotic sentiments find ade-
quate and appropriate expression. The Com
mercial noted yesterday the enthusiasm
aroused at German song festival in New
York, when one of the leading citizens of that
nationality asserted the loyalty of German
Americans to their adopted country, and de-
clared that If the bumptious young Kaiser
thinks there are any Germans in this country
who endorse his conduct, he should be I'M
deceived.
Even more significant was the action of the
German Baptist Young Peoples Union Of
America, at the convention held in Buffalo the
fore part Of the present week. This represen-
tative gathering, from all parts of the coun-
try adopted resolutions rejoicing in the fact
that a large number Of German-American
young men, are enrolled in the army and navy
and deploring the unreasonable attitude of the
press in Germany, with regard to the motives
that prompted the president to demand the
liberation of the down-trodden people of
Cuba. Then followed q ringing declaration of
unfinching loyalty to the flag, (which as no
other stands for the elevation of the human
ings shall become worldwide and that the ma
lions of the earth, including the land of our
forefathers, be brought to share the ines
timable boon Of civil and religious liberty"
We are glad to know this admirable express
sion has been published far and wide through
the medium of the Associated Press.
The German element in American citizen
ship Is and always will be staunchly loyal to
the country in every emergency. 1t is just as
we'll to let William and his satellites at Berlin
understand this fact, in view of their un-
friendly attitude, and possible complications.
American Germans loye the glorious old Faith
erland; but they have no regard for It's pres
ent ruler or the system that he represents.

To spoil the flow Of "tumpty- tum."

The garbage problem here again.

MOLLY LAY DOWN.
Voiced Husband and
Was Saved.

In his Fourth of July oration at
Spartanburg, S. c., Senator McLaurin
interpolated this:
Senator Bate, of Tennessee, told me
an anedote of Col. Tom Sumter that 1
have never seen in print. Sumter was
a great big giant Of fellow, with a
voice like a foghorn. 1t is said his
"holler" could be heard for miles. On
one occasion when he was off on a
foray the tories came and captured
his wife, Molly, and stripped the plan
tation of everything, When "Old
Tom" came home and found molly"
gone his rage knew no bounds. Gath
ering together such forces as he could
he put after the Tories.
He overlook them on the third day
and hung about until midnight. Then
he deployed his forces around the
camp and told them to await his or
ders to fire. He was afraid of "Molly"
being shot in the melee, so when he
got every thing ready he opened his big
mouth and let out yell that fairly
made the earth tremble: Lay down,
Molly! Lay down, Molly" and Molly,
recognizing those stentorian tones,
fell prone on her face, and, after. the
last Lay down, Molly" came the COM
mand fire and charge. Molly was re-
captured without hurt.-Detroit Free

lem . ferryman, old and gray,
And the river is deep and wide;
And whosoe'er crosses by night or BY
day
Can never return, but forever and aye,
Must remain on the other side.
The waters are cold and the current
is swift.
And the mists hang heavy and chill;
And backward and forward they
slowly drift,
With never q break, and they never
lift,
Though they seem to be never still.
The heavens are dark and the course
is long,
But my boat is stanch and true;
And the waves are rough, but my arm
is strong,
And safely ferry the ghostly throng,
To the shore mist-hidden from view.
All are equal who cross with me,
Beggar and millionaire;
yassal and king, and bond and free,
Peasant and noble of high degree,
The maid and her lady fair.
The weary toiler who longs for rest,
Brave youth and manhood proud;
The erring one with his sins con-
fessed,
The sinless babe on the mothers
breast
And the mother with sorrow bowed.
Some on their journey set forth alone,
With trembling and anxious fears;
Some amid wailing, with sob and
moan,
And prayers that their lives had
never known,
And heartbreak and bitter tears
Man brought naught into the world
save death,
And naught can he take away;
Naked was he when he first drew
breath,
And naked will be when he goes with
Death
On his silent, mysterious way.
So all are equal whom Death sets free,
To cross the distant strand;
And king and vassal, and bond and
free,
Whether Of lowly or high degree,
Must all cross the river of Death with
me
To enter that unknown land.
