HAD SPANIARDS BUT KNOWN.
THEY WOULD NOT HAVE YIELDED
CUBA TO A DISEASED ARMY.
The Complaints at the War Department
Have Impressed Them That the Ameri
can Soldier IL Unable to Stand


Have Impressed Them That the Ameri
can Soldier Is Unable to Stand
the Hsrdships of War.
A press dispatch from Washington
says:
Information has reached the war de-
partment at Washington that a high Of
ticer of the Spanish army very recently
made statement that had the Spaniards
been aware of the condition of the
American army, its inability to with
stand the hardships of campaign, it's
lack of medical and other supplies and
general in efficiency as told in the Ameri.
can papers, the Spaniards would not
have given up, but would have contin-
ued fighting for long time to come,
fully believing that they would have
BEEN able to prevent the capture of Cuba
by American arms
This statement is known to have been
made to the American officers now in
Cuba and causes some uneasiness in Of
1icial circles, as it may mean that the
Spaniards are not yet ready to yield the
island under the terms of the protocol.
1t is believed by officials in Washing
tOa that had it not been for the outcry
made regarding the army and the CON
duct OF the war there never would have
been any question raised by the Spanish
eAce commissioners regarding the
Cuban debt, 1t is pointed out under the
Irosocol that the sole question left for tn
commission was the settlement of the
Philippines, and that nothing was said
about the Cuban debt or any other
Cuban question.
fy those who are in position to know
it is asserted that the Madrid govern
ment was aware when it asked for peace
and when negotiations we're opened that
1t was useless TO ask that the Cuban
debt be taken into consideration by any
commission, and that 1t is only since the
reports of the bad condition of the
United States army has reached Madrid
that the question has been raised.
Another matter that causes grave con
Sideration in the war department is the
temper of the Spaniards IN Cuba, and
the fear that the impression which now
prevails there may lead them to regard
the American troops of not much &C
count and act accordingly after the oc
cuDancy by the United States.
The matter has been discussed in the
war department, and it is probable that
when the troops are sent to Cuba there
will be force of such size and charac
ter as to give the islanders a different
impression Of the United States soldiers
than they now entertain.

A Wild scheme.

The Cuban insurgeat army proposes
to set up a sort of military government
of It's own. 1t is announced that the
army is to choose a president and a
president, No civilian is to have
vote or voice in the matter. Accord>
ing to the scheme forty-eight repre-
sentatives chosen by the six army
corps in the insurgent army are to
meet without any restrictions whatev-
err and set up constitutional govern
ment." They seem to be foolish
enough to suppose that the million
and half people of Cuba will accept
without objection the government they
formulate and the officers they choose.
This farclcal scheme is additional evil
dence that the Cuban insurgents are
not fit for self-govern ment.

Sultan Entertains German Emperor at a

AS the guest of the sultan the en-
peror is occupying a private palace
which is said to be the most gorgeous
thing of its kind IN the world, not even
excepting the residence Of the sultan
himself. The palace stands on the
crown of hill near the Yildiz, and for
the last six months Horkmen and artists
have been devoting themselves to it's
Iadornment. A million an0 a half o.!
francs have been spent on the decora-
tions alone. The furniture was all i'm
ported from Germany, as a compliment
to the emperor, but the carpets and
drapery were made especially for the
occasion in the imperial factory at
Eurek. The palace is said to ''look like
a royal residence in fairyland." Their
majesties from Germany are expected to
occupy it f,r about ten days. Abdul
Hamid may be tough old cut-throat,

MODERN BULLETS.
A Startling Story About Spanish Ammr ni-
ton for Mauser Rifles.

A Startling Story About Spanish Ammr ni-
tiOn for Mauser Rifles.
1t is well known that Spanish soldiers
in Cuba were poor marksmen, says the
Scientific American, but great surprise
has been expressed at the remarkable
lack of execution which characterized
their fire at Guatanamo and Santiago,
and an officer of the United States gun
boat Montgomery has been able to throw
some light on sthe matter. He visited
the Maria Teresa after the destruction
of Cervera's feet in search of souvenirs.
He found large number of Mauser car
tridges in groupes OF five ready to go
into the magazines of the guns, and, If
the entire Spanish army and navy were
equipped with that kind of ammunition,
both Cervera and TOral were amply JUS
titled in surrendering when they did.
The cartridges consisted of metal shell
loaded with hair and a sprinkling of
powder. The bullet was of neither brass
nor lead, but of wood. Some army con-
tractor had imposed on the ordnance
bureau OF the Spanish navy, but TO what
extent the wooden Mauser bullets were
used will probably never be known.
