A GLOWING TRIBUTE.
Military Attache Of the French EN-
bassy Praises Our Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Major De
Grand Prey. military attache of the
French Embassy, has just returned
from the American headquarters near
Santiago where he has been observing,
for his Government the progress of mil
itary operations. He paid a glowing
tribute to the ability of our soldiers.
Il have the most complete admiration
for your men, said Major De Grand
Prey to an Associated Press reporter
to-day. They are superb body, indi-
vidually and as an army, and / suppose
not throughout the world is there such
a splendid lot of fighting men. 1t is
the fighting characteristic of the men
which is most apparent. They are ag
gressive, eager for action, never need
ing the voice of an officer to push them
forward. Another marked character
istic is the self-reliance of each man,
what / call the character of initiative.
1t is almost unknown in European ar
mics, where every movement and the
move to meet each action of the enemy
awaits the initiative of an officer. But
With your men they fight to the front,
meeting each emergency as it arises,
overcoming obstacles by their own ini
tiative. Such self-reiiant fighting men
make an exceptionally impetuous army,
for every unit contributes to the ire
siStible forward movement. The Span
ish troops do not have this same char
acteristic. They are more passive, more
cautious. Besides the impetuosity Of
such fighting material, it has the effect
of inspiring a moral feeling among the
troops. making them feel that success
is assured. and at the same time car
rying disorder and depression to the
ranks of the enemy
Major De Grand Prey says the fight
ing about Santiago is something en-
tirely different from the warfare of
European and other armies of modern
times. The dense vegetation and tam
gle of tropical vines make it impossible
to observe the usual military forma
tions. AS a result there is little or no
effort to fight in solid formation. Every
man is fighting for himself, pushing
forward through the shrubbery, vines
and tall grass. 1t is impossible to see
the enemy. There is no line of battle
ahead against which the assault is di-
rected. Only through the reports of
pickets and from the crack of the rifles
here and there ahead is it known that
a fighting force is there. This makes
the shooting irregular as it is seldom
possible to see one in the opposing force
and get distinct aim at him. The
main result of this is to bring the two
fighting forces close together gradually
until they are fighting at close range.
Major De Grand Prey also speaks
highly of the efficiency with which the
American troops and supplies We're
started on their expedition and debark-

FLOATING DOCKS.
Government Has Asked for Bids for
Two Such Structures.

WASHINGTON, July 12-The Navy
Department to-day asked for bids for
two floating docks. the two to cost not
exceeding S2J0,0OO, as recently pro-
vided by Congress. Chief Endicott of
the Bureau of Yards and Docks has
been very anxious to get some Of these
floating structures in order to send
them down to the Gulf and possibly
to Cuba, where our cruisers gunboats
and auxiliary craft could be docEed in
them without the necessity of sending
the ships to northern docks. There
are a number of floating docks in view,
and it is expected that two of these
will be secured under the bids asked
to-day, without waiting for the long
time necessary to build structures.
