SPANISH RESERVES CALLED
OUT.

Spain has called out $4,000 reserves.
This, of course. is in anticipation of
var with the United States. What she
intends to do with them is matter of
conjecture: she may have the QuiXotic
idea Of invading the United States.
SPANS army is organized, under the
law of July !, 1885, and consists of % a
permanent army; (2) a first. or active
reserve; and 80 of a second, or sedent-
airy reserve. Every Spaniard who has
reached the age of 10 is liable to be
drawn for the permanent army. in
which he has to serve three years; he
then passes into the first or active re-
serve for three years; from that he
passes into the second, or sedentary re-
serve for six years, making a total SER
vice of II years. By the payment of
i 200 pesetas. anyone may purchase ex-
emption from service. For the colonial
army the period of service is eight
years; four with the colors, four in the
reserve.
The army of continental Spain is or
ganized in eight army corps, of which
two contain each three divisions of in
fantry, three contain each two divis-
ions, and three contain one division. OF
cavalry, three of the army corps have
each one division, and two have each
one brigade.

NO FAVoRITISM FOR GOVERN
MENT EMPLOYEES.

General Grosvenor is widely known,
because Ct his fondness for figures. 1t
has more often led him astray than
Alright. When the army bill was under
discussion by The house Wednesday,
Chairman Cannon, of the appropriation
committee, offered an amendment, pro-
Viding that all government employees
called into the military or naval service
of the United States, while in service,
should be granted leave of absence, and
upon honorable discharge, should be en-
titled to resume their employment at
the same pay. General Grosvenor Op-
posed the amendment, saying it might
be necessary at some time to offer such
an inducement to secure enlistment, but
with 100000 able bodied men there
was no reason why these favorites of
the government should be shown. addi-
tional favoritism.
No doubt it was generous motive
that prompted this amendment, but
there is reason in General Grosvenor's
objection. a government employee is
bound as much as anyone else to go to
war at the call of his country, and the
should not coddle him when
called upon, more than anyone else. 1t
was very patriotic and generous thing
for those private concerns to do, that
told their employees any of them vol
for the war could have their
places back when they returned: AID
some of these concerns told their en-
rloyees that they would grant them
half pay. All private concerns cannot
90 that, but the government should
make no distinction between its citi-
Gems, no matter by whom they may be
employed.
General Grosvenor's objection will
meet with popular approval. But he
was a little hyDerbollcal in his state |
ment regarding the number of able
bodied men the country could call out. |
As reported by the war department, the
number liable to military duty on Dec. |
81, 1885, was 10, las, 59S, but probably not
over half would be available under any |

CALL FOR UTAH TROOPS.

Wednesday the people of Utah wit
messed the departure of the Twenty
fourth infantry for the scene of HOSTILE
ties, and the soldiers were given a
great demonstration, one that was en-
thusiastic and patriotic in the extreme,
one that cheered them up. But the
soldiers of the Twenty-fourth were
comparatively strangers to the people
of Utah, and war is their profession.
But now our country calls upon Utah,
our well beloved Utah, to furnish her
quota of men for the impending war.
This call is not for very many, only
three hundred and forty, but let it be
responded to with the promptitude of
the trained soldier when he hears the
trumpet sound to arms. Utah is loyal
and loves the Union, and this call is the
first in her history that has ever been
made upon her. Now let her furnish
her quota, the first of all the inter
mountain states, that the nation may
know how responsive to every call of
duty the people of Utah are To give
proof of her patriotism will be the pride
and ambition of Utah.

has been devoted to the navy. Suppose
that our navy should meet with heavy
reverses, and it is possible, no matter
what we may all hope for and believe,
such reverses would so cripple the gov
eminent for any offensive operations
that American commerce would be COM
pletely swept from the seas. The war
is going to cost much more than any
one now thinks; like building house,
no matter how liberal the estimates,
the cost will exceed them by at least
one-half, more probably will be double.
Low depends for revenue is nothing but
a deficit producer, so that that cannot
be relied upon in the event that expen-
ditures for war purposes become eX-
traordinary, as they surely would.
1t is to be hoped that no circum-
stances will arise in war between the
United States and Spain that will call
for bond issue, but the chances are
they will. To pass this Allen resolu-
ton would be for the United States
senate to make Itself ridiculous in the
eyes of the American people and the
world. Who knows what circumstances
may arise in the course of a war be-
tween any two countries? No doubt the
United States can lick Spain, but they
haven't done it yet, and cannot pos
sibly tell how much it will cost to give
her a licking.

GOOD MEDICAL ADVICE FOR
SOLDIERS.

The surgeon Of the Seventy first New
York regiment, in anticipation of the
participation of the national guard in
the invasion of Cuba, in the event of
war, has prepared a set of medical in
structions for the protection of the
guardsmen while in Cuba. Among the
instructions are the following:
Do not drink water unless it has been
boiled, if in the least doubtful.
Do not battle in water unless it has
been boiled.
Cook your food thoroughly.
Avoid the use of alcohol-internally.
Avoid being out in the night air, or
UP carefully, covering face well.
Avoid dampness at all times. Change
your clothes the moment they are wet
or damp, when practicable.
Be moderate in eating; do not eat
heartily when tired or overheated
at the end of d march battle the feet
in boiled water dry well and powder
them with compound talcum powder or
some foot powder.
damp, or stockings at any time when
the feet are not thoroughly dry.
Do not eat fruit of any kind, unless
perfectly ripe, and do not eat it at all
in the summer.
Before going out III the morning, take
three to five grains of quinine and a
cup of hot coffee. This is imperative.
Always wear a flannel band over the
abdomen.
Change all your clothes every day,
when practicable, especially stockings
and drawers.
Avoid excuses of all kinds
Avoid exposure to sun when possible,
and if exposed much. keep a wet hand
kerchief in your hat all the while ex-
posed.
BE Naccinated.
If possible, carry a lemon and sip
when thirtsy.

APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS.


In the debate on the army bill, Cen
eral Walker of Virginia made the state
| lnent that his experience in the confed-
crate army had taught him that an
army that elected its own officers was
wholly inefficient; he declared that all
men We're not brave, and that While
all men would fight if properly disci-
pliped and led, many could not be
counted upon in the hour of danger
when inefficiently Differed. No doubt
the experience of officers in the Union
army was the same; it could not have
been otherwise. The foremost military
nation of the day considers three years
the very least time in which a soldier
can be turned ou.; and it is very
much harder task to turn out an Of
ficer.
The United States can turn out an
abundance of raw material for soldiers,
but when it is differed with raw men,
the material is very much longer time
in being converted into the manufac-
tured article-a disciplined soldier. No
matter how brave men may be, if they
are not we'll led their bravery is thrown
away. 1t is the most natural thing in
the world for men who volunteer for
war to want to select those who are to
command them. but such a method
doesn't produce the best results by any
means. All things being equal, it would
be much better plan for the governor
of each state to appoint the officers for
the state troops, the same as the presi-
dent appoints the officers for the regu-
lar army. In making these appoint
ments, no consideration should be taken
into account but that of fitness, while
political and social considerations of
all kinds should be absolutely ignored.
Even under such a system some mis-
takes would necessarily be made, but
the chances of making them would be
mininlized. 1t is objected to this meth
cd of selecting officers that men are
often chosen who would not be selected
by the men over whom they are to ex-
crcise authority No doubt that is very
true, but war is a stern affair, in which
stern necessity rules; it is an affair of
life and death, and all measures should
be taken in view of that fact.
In the first years of the civil war pol
iticians had entirely too much influence
in the conduct of the war, and the ap-
pointment Of officers. There should be
as little of such influence in the i'm
pending war as possible. No matter
what mans influence in politics may
be, it shouldn't give him any prefer
ment in military matters. a time of
war IS not time to reward political !
friends or punish political enemies. And !
it should be borne in mind that to have /
an efficient army the officers must be
the masters of the soldiers, and not the
servants of the people. War reverses
the order of peace.

The rest of Dennis remarks were cut off
by Pats onslaught upon him. There was
a general mix-uU for the next five min

A SCHOOL OF DIPLOMACY.

The New York Herald favors the es-
adjustment of school of diplomacy.
1t says that we have military school
at West Point, which is one of the best
in the world; that We have a naval
academy at Annapolis. which has no su-
perior, and probably no equal, any,
where. 1--WE have, therefore, body of
army officers whose knowledge of their
profession and of the art of war is on
a level with the best modern SCIENCE"
says the Herald. I'VE have body of
naval officers whose European reputa-
ton stands second to none. The high
personal character of both sets of Of
ficers is one mere testimony to the eff
ficiency Of their training. The schools
at Annapolis and West Point turn out
gentlemen as we'll as good soldiers and
sailors. But we have no school of di-
plcmacy. We lave no diplomatic ser
vice. We have no company of men
trained in the arts of negotiation. We
have a state department. very made
ouately organized. Able men often in
possession of the diplomatic posts. but
men without the special knowledge
reeded. How leng are we going to be
content with this?"
The idea of a school of diplomacy
such as the military and naval schools
is utopian in the extreme. Trained dip
lomats are highly desirable, but spe-
cfal school for educating them is a
novel idea, to say the least. Is there an
art of diplomacy, as there is of war?
If school for teaching it were estab-
lished. where would those in charge
find their Vauban and Jomini? Would |
they select Machiavelli, or Talleyrand, |
or Metternich as the text book of di- |
llomacy? There is no doubt that diplo- |

GOLD IN THE COUNTRY.
How Secretary Gage Arrives AT An
Estimate.

Washington, April 21.-Secretary
Gage today sent to the senate a reply
to the resolution passed on the 5th inst,
requesting information from him as to
his manner of ascertaining the amount
of gold in the country He says that
all estimates begin with the calcula-
ton made in 1872 by Dr. Linderman,
then director of the mint, who placed
the stock at s12S.SS9. S64 and that since
this time the estimates have been ar
rived at by adding to the stock Of
1872 the annual coinage and the do
rnestic coin importation, deducting the
loss on account of recoinage and ex-
portation.
The secretary says the estimates Of
the amount used in the Industrial arts
is based upon censuses made by the
mint bureau and upon annual reports
received from private smelters and re-
fineries. The secretary also furnishes
an estimate of the loss by wear and
otherwise of paper money, the total
stock of which on all issues he places
at S13, las, 300.

mats should be men of the highest ac-
ccmplishments, and they should be
masters of the history of, diplomacy:
our own diplomatic representatives
have not always been this, though they
have in some cases. The government
at Washington has at its command the
services of men in every way fitted to
represent it at foreign courts, where
they would be the peers of anyone, but
the government does not avail itself of
their services; it selects its diplomatic
agents for political reasons, and not for
diplomatic ones. The government has
plenty of material at hand, but does not
choose TO use ii; that is all. The es-
Establishment of school of diplomacy
would not help matters, so long as poll
tics dominates everything.
