DOCUMENT UNIQUE IN WAR
An Address From Captured Span
ish Soldiers to Their Captors.

Washington, Aug. pa document en-
tirely unique in the annals of warfare
was cabled yesterday to the war depart
ment by General Shafter. 1t is in the form
of a congratulatory farewell address IS
sued to the soldiers of the American army
by Pedro Lopez de Castillo, private
Spanish soldier, on behalf of the ll,OOO
Spanish soldiers. No similar document,
perhaps, was ever before issued to a vic
torious army by vanquished adversary.
The president was much impressed by the
address, and after reading it carefully,
authorized its publication. Following is
the text of the addresses as cabled by
General Shafter:
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 22.-H. c.
Corbin, Adjutant General, u. S. A, Wash
ington: The following letter has just
been received from the soldiers just en-
barking for Spain:
"Maior General Shafter, commanding
the American army in Cuba: Sir-The
Spanish soldiers who capitulated in this
place on the 10th of July last, recogniz-
ing your high and just position, pray that
through you all the courageous and noble
soldiers under your command may re-
ceive the good wishes and farewell which
we send them on embarking for our be-
loved Spain. For this favor, which we
have no doubt you will grant, you will
gain the everlasting gatitude and con-
sideIation of IL 900 Spanish soldiers, who
are your most humble servants.

THE UNIFORMS OF SOLDIERS
Austrian Gray Is the Least Fatal
Color on the Battle Field

The ideal uniform should be suitable
for the season and the place and circum-
stances under which it is worn. The col
or should be that which mostly resembles
that of dried grass so that soldiers wear
ing it should be as little in evidence as
possible. The red ana giaring uniforms
of the British soldier of years ago has been
entirely discarded by that government,
for the reason that it too clearly indicated
the wearer to an enemy. 1t proved
to be the most fatal color that has yet
been devised. On the other hand, statis-
tics prove that the Austrian gray is the
least fatal. Where seventeen soldiers
wearing the British red fell by the bull
lets of an enemy only seven who wore
rifle green, six and half who wore
brown, and five who wore the Austrian
bluish-gray fell. General Robert E. Lee
who made an investigation into this mat
ter when he was in charge of West Point,
before the war of the Rebellion, made a
report in favor of gray as the color for
uniforms, and ever since then the cadets
at West Point have worn uniforms of
that color 1t was also for this same rea-
son that General Lee adopted the gray
colored uniform for the Confedera tie army.
The crack regiments of the country, the
Seventh regiment of New York, the Fifth
regiment of Maryland, and Others wore
gray uniforms before the war in conse-
quence of General Lees report There is
no doubt that soldiers are hit in battle
according to the color of their uniform.
In the last war the union cause lost many
a thousand men who would not have been
lost had the uniform been less decided in
color. The dark blue uniforms worn by
officers the first two years of the war
were especially fatal, as they gave sharp
shooters an easy way to distinguish off
GERS. 1t is needless to say that the dark
blue was very generally discarded by
officers before the war was over, especially
for real engagement uniform. Any color
will do for parades, practice and the like,
but when it comes to fighting that which
makes the soldier less conspicuous is the
least fatal for war. The new canvas uni
form affords less opportunities to an
enemy than any other which has ever
been designed, and from a distance an
approaching army can hardly be distin-
guished by the naked eye, because the
color is so allied to that of the dried grass
over which the army is marching.

Canyon Creek Strike.

lain idle most of the time since. There is
a concentration on the property, and as de-
velopment work progresses it should pay
