THE MAN IN THE BALLOON!

In the early hours of the assaults
on the intrenchments around Santi-
ago new figure in American war
fare appeared above the field of
battle. 1t was the scientific scout,
riding comfortably in the ear of
his balloon, and noting with field
glass and camera the location and
strength Of the various defensive
positions.
The Man in the Balloon has reor.
ganlzed the spy business on entirely
new lines. The old fashioned spy
was a furtlve person, who travelled
in a deep disguise and carefully
concealed all the evidence of his
observations. The aeronautic spy
does his work in the face Of day.
he floats over the enemys camp,
the most conspicuous object in hea-
ven or earth.
From time to time the observer
lifts telephone transmitter to his
lips and quietly conveys to head
quarters such information as his
prototype in the time of Nathan
Hale would have crawled by pickets
and through swamps and brambles
to carry. MASKED battery on the
hill north of the river "line of

ments to the right Of the woods: :"

Of the vicious bullets that are hum

with consequences that would prob

The scientific scout takes all those
chances, and he comforts himself
with the reflection that if he
falls among the Spaniards it will not

OUR VOLUNTEERS AS SOLDIERS.

Since the commencement of tn.
present war there has been mucl
discussion as to the fighting value
Of the volunteers. Foreign critics
as usual, have been practically
unanimous in condemning reliance
on volunteers, and have not been
slow to advise the United States
Government not to invade Cuba fOl
many months, until an opportunity
has been afforded for properly drill.
ling and disciplining what they
were pleased to characterize az raw
levies.
The recent fighting around San
tiago has afforded al opportunity
Of testing the value Of these unfav-
Orable criticisms of volunteer
troops, and, in the light Of the
deeds Of the volunteers on the
bloody field about Santiago, our
critics have been given an opportun-
ity to revise their criticisms. In
the desperate fighting Of Friday
and Saturday last, regular and vol
unteer troops fought side by side,
consequently there was a most ex-
cellent opportunity afforded for
drawing comparisons. AS far as
the official reports 90, there does
not appear to have been any differ
ence in the effectiveness of the work
done by regulars and volunteers.
There were volunteer troops en-
gagged in all of the most desperate
encounters of the two days battle,
as well rs regulars, and, Judging
by the casualty list, the former suf-
fered quite as severely as the latter.
Some Of the heaviest fighting in
connection with the bloody engage
ment which preceded the capture Of
the heights Of San Juan was done
by the Michigan and New York
volunteers, while the First Volun-
teer Cavalry, known as the Roose-
welt Rough Riders, proved an i'm
portant part Of the force which
drove the Spaniards from the hotly
field of FL Caney.-Pc.

The New York Tribune's CORE
spondent at Nagasaki, had an inter
view with Capt. Gridley, who com
manded Admiral Dewey's flagship,
the Olympia, in the battle of Manila
and it was written while the gallant
officer was on sick leave and en-
route home. The interview was
written a few days before Capt.
Gridley's death, and shows quite
clearly that he was opposed to the
administrations policy Of impe-
rialism. In the course of the con-
versatiOn with the correspondent,
Capt. Gridley said:
81 have no desire to criticise any
plan of the government nor to stand
against the wishes of the people,
but ! see uothing in those islands
for us except coaling station. Not
one in ten of our best men could
survive there. However, | suppose
we must have troops there for
time, but the sun, and not the Span
lard is their enemy"
Before the battle of Manila, Cap
tain Gridley was suffering from
severe rupture, which caused copi-
Gus hemorraghes. and the strain Of
the fighting caused him to be COM
pletely prostrated Immediately after
the firing ceased, and the rupture
being greatly aggravated caused
his death.

not be a surprising move on the part OF
Spain just now, in fa,t it would be con-

"Spain is on the eve of entering upon

the fall OF Cuba, other colonies of the
