Il the Americans are so superior to the
6paniards in everything intellectual,
their superiority is no less marked,
physically considered Observing the
American army encamped at Tampa,
one cannot discover man who does not
seem physically perfect. When they
drill, they present a. living example Of
that ideal army of which Napoleon
dreamed SO long and which is described
by Colonel Wagner in these words: "An
army of men having the same physical
and moral qualities, the same animating
impulses and the same degree of disci-
pline. They are simply machines
moved by scientific impulse. Nothing
more perfect can be imagined, and, for
man who has seen the Spanish army
In peace and war, it does not seem ex-
travagant to say that one American reg
ular is worth at least five Spanish regu-
lars on the field of battle.
1t was late in November of 1895 when
the Spanish steamer Montevideo brought
to Havana 1900 Spanish soldiers, a
part of the 200, 900 that have failed in
Cuba to conquer the insurgents. They
were said by the Spaniards to be the
best troops coming from Spain to Cuba.
Martinez Campos had declared hisgreat
confidence in them because they were

But what a poor sight they presented

later they were engaged in battle with

now. They have learned to fire, but
they rarely hit the mark. The expert

enough for this statement.

SPANISH FLAG MOBBGD.
Mischievous boy Gets His Home Besieged
During His Absence.

The family of John N. Strotz OF Kan
sas City narrowly escaped mobbing the
other day by crowd OF angry neigh
bors who resented the presence OF a
Spanish flag floating from the Flagstaff
over the Strotz home. 1t seems that the
mischievous small boy of the family
climbed to the roof the other morning,
and, after flying the Spanish flag from
the staff, went to school
Soon men and boys began to gather,
until 1. 600 of them stood before the
house, bowling and cursing. The women
of the house were so badly frightened
that they could do nothing. just as the
mob was about to attack the house IN
force a strong detachment of police and
a detail of men from the Fifth regiment
appeared. The crowd was forced back,
while policeman scaled the roof and
brought down the flag. 1t was promptly
burned, and the mob dispersed.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

Mr.. Martin really deserves credit
for his patriotism and for trying to

hold the evenIng train at Tunuelton
till six o'clock for 46. expecting the
speaker on that train, but he failed
to arrive.
The TunnelCon band, twenty
strong, came To make inspiring
music, which they did all right ;
and were taken home that night on
special train by Mr.. Martin, free
gratis for nothing. The baud
played patriotic airs. and this
brought out the populace with ~

with big crowd, but no speak er

Prof. Holden, who was at the

finally prevailed upon to come to
the meeting and apologize for the
absence of Mr.. Sturgiss and dismiss
