Few realize how many horses are
required in the United States army.
Each battery of artillery requires
about 100 horses, infantry regiments
about twenty each, and cavalry regi-
ments about 1, 200 to 1900. One hun
dred horses are required for General
Miles headquarters alone; each field
officer is entitled to two.
The Spanish barbarians don't even
respect the flag of the Red Cross. They

Spaniard is fast making for himself a
place in history which no other people
in Christendom will envy.

nabie on the sea side.

kindness to the captured Admiral and
he is to be paroled and allowed the
freedom of the country and is to be
supplied with every comfort and every
luxury.
