MILES CONSULTS WITH LONG.
Supposed That Preparations Arc
Being Made for

Washington, May 23.-General Miles
had another long consultation this
morning with Secretary Long and
these repeated meetings are construed
here to mean that Il point has been
reached in the campaign where the
army finds il necessary to call upon the
navy for conveys to take troops to
Cuba. 1t is realized that this work is
extra hazardous at present. Conveys
are always exposed to destruction at
the hands Of n determined enemy, and
with a squadron of fleet Spanish war
vessels and torpedo gunboats Of great
speed lying in wait somewhere near
Cuba, nothing but the most formula
bile convoy, such ms is to he afforded
by all Of Simpsons and Schlcy's IRON
clads, save the monitors, would suffice
TO give Il reasonable degree of protec-
ton against an attack.

BADLY DElUDE0 PEOPLE,
Claim That There Are Still Grounds
10 Hope for the Surrender
of the Insurgents.

London, May Especial news from
Madrid: The Spanish ministers de-
clare that nothing officially is known
of the result of the negotiations with
the Cuban insurgents to induce them
TO make a common cause with the
Spaniards against the Americans,
though some claim to believe that the
negotiations viii succeed.
1t is limited that the negotiations of
Castillo, the Spanish ambassador at
Paris, are with Cuban representatives
at the French capital. 1t is maintained
that the submission of the insurgents
to Blanco would remove all preteNt for
American intervention. The general
belief is that there is some ground for
the hopefulncss existing which led to
the recovery of prices on the Spanish
bOurSc.

How Men Fight Nowadays.

Washington Star: George i. Gross,
the colonel of the Third regiment,
talked Of war to a reporter this morn
.ng-about war as it really is.
There have been changes in wal
tactics since the civil war; said he.
For instance, soldiers used to line up
in battle shoulder to shoulder and
stand out in the open under a CALLING
fire. That has been changed. In the
Spanish war infantry will do most of
Its fighting in extended order. When
the regiments are in line firing the
men will he three, four, five, or even
six feet apart. The extended order line
is similar to the skirmish line. 1t is an
effective way of fighting and greatly
reduces the loss of men.
"To march men upon the field shout
der to shoulder in the fact of rapid
firing artillery means a great slaugh-
ter. Calling and Hotchkiss guns
would simply NOW them down. Then,
too, the men are allowed to protect
themselves. They lie down and with
their trench knives or bayonets scoop
mp loose earth, which is a great pro-
lection from infantry fire. Loose earth
will stop rifle bullets.
'In the last war we used to raise
earth Notifications and tramp the
earth down hard. That is just what
we should not have done. We should
have thrown up the earth loosely.
"In an engagement a regiment is
marched out upon the field in three
b~attalions under the command of ma
