addition to the marches over the actual
ground OF such contests, the observa.
ton towers on the main fields, the
crest road on Missionary Ridge, the
roads over Lookout. aud the summit
OF the mountain itself, afford eleva-
tions from which every movement,
either strategy or the tactics of the
several battletields, can be distinctly
traced.
The dimensions of this national
maneuvring ground will appear from
q few figures. The legal limits of the
Chickamauga section embrace fifteen
square miles. The crest of Missionary
Ridge for eight miles is owned by the
Government, as are the battlefieds of
General Sherman at the north end of
the ridge, and of Hooker and Walthall
on Lockout Mountain. The central
driveway Of the park system is already
finished from the northern extremity
of Missionary Ridge southerly for
twenty-five miles through the Chicka-
manga field toward Lafayette. The
remaining five miles are under con-.
struction. In an east and west direc-
ton the drive from Ringgold to the
western limit is eleven miles. From
Missionary Ridge at Rossville to Wau-
hatchie Ridge beyond Lookout Noun
tain is six miles. From the same point
by way of McFarland's Gap the western
boundary OF the park to its southern
limits is eight miles. The total mile
age Of the park system is over 100
miles.
A few concise statements will show
the advantages which the park pos
sesses for practical field instruction.
Standing on the point of Lookout, the
three mountain ranges and the river
over which General Rosecrans's
strategic campaign extended are all in
full view. The front of his move
ment, which when it reached the Ten
nessee River after crossing the Cum.
berland had front of $50 miles, can
be readily traced. All the battlefelds
mentioned in the course of this letter
can be located, and the ground of
all the tactical movements Of the
battles Of Wauhatchie, Orchard Knob,
Lookout Mountain and Missionary
Ridge can be seen and readily under
stood. The observation towers upon
the battlsfelds OF Chickamauga are
under the eye and show the relative
positions OF the movements Of that
engagement to those OF the battles
about Chattanooga. Ringgold Gap,

The Government finds itself fortu-
nate in the ownership of such n
ground for the assembling, instruc-
ton, and mannuvring of troops as
the Chickamauga Park reservation
proves to be, writes General III. V.
Boynton, in the New York Sun. I'm.
der the act Of Congress making the
park national maneuvrinQ ground.
and authorizing the Secretary of War
TO assemble there such portion Of
the regular army as he may choose,
and also to allow and arrange for the
concentration and instruction OF the
National Guard, IL was the intention
to inaugurate such use OF the reserva-
ton during the coming season. The
Adjutant-Ge of the army was
considering what should be done in
this direction, and the troops of sew
eral States were looking forward TO
summer or autumn camping at the
park. Suddenly the practical uses Of
actual war set these plans aside, and
replaced them by others which in
volved the concentration of armies
and their preparation for battle.
No other nation owns such field
for man1uvres. Eleven square miles
OF the tract are now fitted for regula-
ton camps. Eight of these are in
open forest, carefully cleared of un.
derbrush, and three square miles are
in fields. There are four square
miles within the legal limits Of the
tract not yet purchased. This section
is largely forest, and is available for
man9uyres by which IL might be de-
sired to instruct troops in movements
through virgin forest.
The entire area within the present
limits of the park is clear of fences, and
teams can drive over the fields and
through the woods in every part of it.
When the forests were cleared out the
future use Of the park for a camp of in
struction was kept in mind, and orders
were given thatroom should be made for

tract was thus made practicable for
artillery movements as well rs for

There are no swamp grounds in the

gradually from the Chickamauga River,
which bounds it on the east for several
miles. to the spurs OF Missionary Ridge

traverse it. There are never-failing

Mat Salleh, the leader of the native
revolt in British North Borneo, has
furnished practical illustration Of
the truth Of the main incident in Kip
ling's "The Man Who Would Be
King" Mat has been posing as an
immortal whom no bullet could hurt.
He took great care not to get within
close range, and after a skirmish it
was his custom to scar his flesh in
places with hot iron and to exhibit
tho burns as marks of bullets that had
been turned aside. In his last meet
ing with the English, however, he was
badly wounded in the leg. When his
followers saw that he bled as they did,
they ceased to look upon him as god.
Hence a great loss of prestige, which
may result in the collapse Of the re-
volt.

The fall of the city of Santiago and

to an army of 10000 Americans, must

Neither at sea nor on land are the
Spaniards any match for the United

how intrinsically brave troops may be,
if they are underfed, never paid and
have over them corrupt officers, defeat
is a foregone conclusion.
Too high praise cannot be given to
the officers and men of the United

Europe thought that America was not

SPANISH-AMERICANS.

The San Francisco Argonaut has
done some good work in obtaining
files of the vernacular press in the
Spanish Republics of South America,
and in making extracts therefrom.
There was an idea, and it is still
held by some people, that the Spanish
Republics, because of their form of
government and because they separ-
ated from Spain, naturally hate her
and admire the United States. 1t is
all the other way, however; they ad-
mire Spain, and they hate the Grin
go pig, as they politely call him.
This ought to have been plain
enough, for facts speak louder than
words. 1t was bowling Spanish mob
at Valparaiso which insulted Eight
ing Bob Evans, and murdered some
of his crew. After the war broke out,
United States gunboat had to get
coal at port in Guatemala. The half
breed Spanish mob came down to the
wharf and tried to prevent the coal
ing. 1t was driven back by United
States marines and then yelled itself
hoarse in hurting insulting epithets
at the Americans. Every large city
from Mexico to Punto Arenas is con-
tributing means for Spain to carry
on her war.
And the reasons for this are not
far to seek. In language, in religion,
i'm manners and in morals these peo-
pie are Spanish. They like the same
veneer of punctilio, the same assump-
ton of naughty manner, and they
have the same ingrained cruelty and
| treachery and the same religious in
tolerence as the Spaniard. They are,
full blooded and half bred, and mezti-
zoes and all their tawny crosses, Lat
ms, heart and soul They hate the
| bluff manners, the free institutions,
and the religion of the American Ang-
| lo-SaXon. His down right ways, his
directness of speech and his honesty
offend them. 1t is well worth while
reading what their newspapers say
of him.
