that III. Cubans Is people are not

one of dog eat dog with one side as
barharous as the other. 1t is there

troops in Cuba the Cuban army has
failed to cooperate i'll any way as

now Garcia men are indignant
because the Americans will not permit
them to loot Santiago.

While the animal is down Oh the ground
the officer takes pistol and fires it
close to his ear Then i'll rapid order he

he sinks back exhausted, all a-tremble
and showing the whites of his eyes, does
the pistol practice cease.

TO this time the horse has never felt a
curb. The light snafflc Is still retained,
and the curb bride is only given gen.
tie pressure at first, just enough to let
him know taIt it is there. Gradually
the strength of the pull is increased,
and with this safeguard the horse is
taught to stand fire from his riders pis-

IN carbine practice the horse must be
thoroughly broken, as both hands are

with the pisto! the rider may retain the

Then comes Saber practice, and that
is another trial to the horse. Again is
