The Hand Of Fate.

There are certain progressive, or rath-
81 cumulative, tendencies in history. for
which we can find no other name than
fatality. The movement may be delay
ed or for time even reversed We do
not always recognize the inevitable GER
tainty toward O goal, as contemporary
critics. It is only in the retrospect
where all the relations Of facts in the
past as well as the present become clear
ly outlined that this melancholy stamp
shows its deep brand as if burned in
with fire. The downfall of nations al
ways offers material for reflection Of
this kind. Individuals pay the penalty
according to measure of long continued
blunders and vices. With peoples and
governments even more than with indi-
viduals
The mills of the gods grind slowly,
But they grind exceedingly fine,
and conclusions are ultimately reached.
pitiless as the climax Of Greek TRACE
dy, where the idea of doom or fate
scarcely wears a mask. The decadence
Of Spain impresses us in this fashion
with such vividness that detestation of
the deeds and characteristics which
have accelerated the ruin lacks bitter
ness to lessen pity for it's completeness.
Only three centuries ago Spain was
practically the dictator Of Europe, the
most powerful people in the world, into
whose lap the gold and silver of new
world poured in a ceaseless stream and
against whom other nations found it
necessary to combine for safety as
against a public enemy. The elements
which caused Spanish decay began to
do their fatal work even when the power
which was welded under the great
Charles V was at it's height. Religious
bigotry, which crushed all thought and
made education farce; political intol-
erance, which disdained the rights of
other nations as matter of principle
and even made oppression a virtue;
commercial blindness, which saw profit
alone in an iron restriction of trade;
haughtiness Of caste, which looked on
the masses as merely serviceable tools;
pride SO petriied as to revolt against
any instruction from the contemporary
progress of other peoples-all these evil
factors have been dominant in Spanish
life for three centuries and still show
their enfeebled but convulsive energies.
Spain has learned nothing, forgotten
nothing. The whole world has been
moving on. She has limped backward
She has lost successively her great colo
nial possessions and become the mere
shell Of nation. Fate has chosen the
newest Of the great powers to deal the
final coup, the stroke Of the matador.
Unwillingly as the United States be-
came the instrument of destiny it may
be compensating thought that it is in
the pulverization Of Spanish power and
its present conditions that new life
may find it's birth, as French life found
its renewal from the debris Of the revo-
luton Of 1889. Decay and death pre-
cede regeneration in political as in:nat-
ural life. .5...

ripe for another charlottesville disas-
ter, for if Lawton gave way the whole
line back to San Juan, the key on the
American left, would have gone to
pieces.
General III. w. Lawton was man for
the work of road breaker for the army.
He is veteran Of the civil war and
knows what warfare is, but the special
training for leader Of the outpost at
Santiago was gained on the plains He
it was who captured Geronimo, the
clever Apache chieftain. Much credit is
given Lawton for diplomacy in that
affair, but the real argument in that
campaign was the hand Of mail. Geron-
imo surrendered when he found that
Lawton had tracked him to his wilder
ness lair in the Sierra Madre mountains
with carbines and pistols and men be-
hind them, enough to wipe out his raid
ing band of ;savages.
General Miles said that he chose
Lawton, then captain, to hunt down
Geronimo's band because he (Lawton)
believed that the Indians could be whip
ped into subjection His plan was to
fight them in their own way. Lawton
is giant in build and in strength. He
stands 6 feet 5, is we'll proportioned,
strong and sound in bone and muscle.
The force under Lawton was a picked
one, the men being selected for their
strength, agility and tenacity Of pur-
pose. 1t was to be hunt to death in

deeds thus far celebrated in the war
against Spain have had picturesque,
not to say a theatrical, setting. That is
not the fault-if it is a fault-of the
doers. The public mind has been
ready since February last to immor-
talize every one who struck blow to
avenge the Maine It would not be diff
tult for a critical observer to name now
The few out of the many thus far noted
who will live in history because Of their
effective work, but it would be thank
less task, for every man who has placed
himself under orders to fight against
Spain, whether he has fired shot or
not, is pledge to the world that Amer
ican valor is not a thing of the past.
And admiration for all will not be
lessened if a few are chosen for special
notice because the fortunes of war plac-
ed them in position Of unusual impor-
tance and difficulties. Beginning with
the landing Of Colonel R. w. Hunting
toms 600 marines on Cuban soil, there
have been three important stages Of the
warfare where remarkable courage was
exhibited, and also boldness of plan and
tenacity Of purpose, which make the
successful warrior. Lawton's brilliant
stroke with the American advance
guard upon the extreme flank of the
Spanish line and Shafter's whole cam
paign from the time Of landing until
he had the city under his guns are
achievements which will live in history
and become models for military study.
While the landing of Colonel Hunt
ington's 600 marines under the protec-

ed the Apaches, for the Indians could
not believe that white men would at
tempt to follow their trail. The scouts
on this wonderful expedition were COM
manded by Captain Wood, who was
colonel of the rough riders, in Lawton's
column at Ell Caney.
Skaters dash for Santiago was as
bold as any known in history. Perhaps
he miscalculated, as he confessed, but
when he saw that the Spaniards did not
oppose his landing he rushed the ad-
vance under Lawton inland to seize the
first range Of hills. This the Spaniards
opposed only feebly, and Shafter struck
out for the heights of Ell Caney and San
Juan. 1t is the quick stroke which tells
in war, and the audacity Of the Amer
lean army was in itself enough to ter
rorize the dreamy Spaniards. Besides
Shafter hoped to take the land batteries
commanding the harbor in the rear and
SO give Sampson a chance to get at Ger
vera. p ...
When at last the Spaniards began to
show fight, Shafter fought them, and
when he whipped them followed up
until the city of Santiago lay tempting
ly before the eyes Of the soldiers Then
the startling situation was developed
that the road from the landing to the
front would not admit of the bringing
up Of heavy guns to clinch the stroke On
the hills. Not only that, but the rains
which began to fall made it impossible
to get supply wagons to the front, and
troops were without food. Still the
commander did not halt.
Meanwhile tropical weather had pros
trated thousands as the Spanish bullets
had hundreds. Shafter was sick, Wheel
er, the next in command, was sick, and
Young, leader Of the brigade in which
the rough riders fought, was sick.
Again, the Spaniards at last began to
fight. Their smokeless powder gave
them the advantage over the Ameri-
cans. They charged and retook captured
ground, and the splendid guns from
Cervera's S ships played havoc in Shat
ter's ranks. The city could not be taken.
1t could not be shelled without heavy
guns. In this emergency Shafter decided
to Withdraw from the advanced posi-
tion, shorten and strengthen his line
and wait for help, for food, for ammu-
milton, for big guns. Something's
trife probably changed Shafter's pur-
pose. Perhaps it was that visit along
the lines on the Fourth Of July when
he heard the. band at the front playing
"The Star Spangled Banner" and the
men cheeringtas only American heroes
