OF the African negro hunters. When the
Hindoo hunts the elephant 1t Is not for
the purpose of killing him and saving off
his tusks, but 10 catch him alive and tame
him.
The elephant renders such great ser
vices TO the Hsndoos that in the depth OF
their gratitude the animal has been e,e-.
waited 10 the rank of a god. The British
government in India makes use OF ele-
plants IN various departments OF the state
administration In the engineer corps they
are used TO carry materials for bridge and
road building. In the lumber districts they
are invaluable forcarrying off logs from the
forests 10 the sawmiT, a task which they
perform with far greater dexterity than
wcrkinsynen would. But II is more partic-
ularIy in the army, especially for the
transportation OF artillery over steep and
dangerous mountain passes that the ele-
plant Is invaluable.
Or all this. the African negroes. who
massacre every year more than le.eoo OF
these useful animals. know absolutely
nothing. Mr.. Bourdarie has therefore de-
cided to take with him on his expedition
a certain number of Hindoo elephant
tanners. through whose help it is hoped
that the kongo animals may, in time,
reach the same degree OF civilization as
their Asiatic brethren.
In former days an attempt was made
by the African Association to introduce
the Asiatic elephant into the Kongo re-
gions. The success OF the famous Ahys-
sirian campaign largely due TO The help
of forty-four Hindoo elephants. who car
ried the heavy British artillery across the
mountainous ravines Of Ethiopia. was s,..i
fresh in everybody's mind. In 1879. there
fore. four Indian elephants which had been
brought from Calcutta under the care OF
a British consul were landed in the Bay
of M'sasani. A few days after landing one
OF the elephants died suddenly; another
died a few weeks later. and the remain
ing two only survived few months. The
failure OF this attempt led to the supposi-
ton that the Asiatic elephant could not
stand the climate of Africa. This Is In all
probability true. but the coGrseness OF the
food given the Indian elephants In Africa
also had much to do with the death OF
the four elephants mentioned above. In
Asia the elephants are fed on grilied rice
fresh sugar cane and vegetables.
In ancient times African elephants were
tanned by the Romans and Carthagenans.

Santiago de cuba--Iss pefenses.
(scIentific American \

Next to that of Rio de Janeiro
the bay of Santiago de Cuba is,
admittedly, the most picturesque
in the western hemisphere. In
reality, the bay forms two har-
bors, an inner and an outer, both
landlocked, and approached by a
very contracted and more or less
tortuous channel, beset with
rocks and shoals. In fact, the
entrance to the outer harbor is
difficult to locate, and would be
almost impossible but for peculi-
aritles of Typographical outline
and the Notifications that loom
up against the hillsides. Santi-
ago City, generally known as
Cuba" to the natives, lies at the
further extremity of the inner
bay on it's right bank, conse-
quently is not at all visible from
the sea. Dirty and squalid for
the most part, with ill-kept
streets and dilapidated dwell
ings, 1t, nevertheless, is most
attractive when viewed from the

But since the early history OF the
province of Santiago. no measur-
es have ever been taken TO de.
fend its capitol city and cher
seaport from the rear, except
those of temporary and filInsy
character that have been neces-
STATED by the raids of insurgents.
In the light of the foregoing
the feat of Lieut.. Hobson, IN
blockading the lower bay of San
tiago, by sinking the collier
"Merrimac" in the narrowest
part of the channel, between
Santa Catalina and La Zocapa,
acquires new interest and furth-
err evidences the act was OF a
more daring end difficult nature
than has has generally been i'm
agined. 1t is evident the strong
est battleships could hardly hope
to escape scathless under the tlre
of three fortresses-with all the
advantages of elevation-and as
many batteries, to say nothing
of the Spanish fleet, not even If
all the guns employed by the foe
are of an obsolete type and com
paratively deficient penetration.
That the 'Merrimac" and her
volunteer crew suffered so little
from the batteries must be
ascribed, first, to surprise, and,
second, to the distraction afford
ed by the fire of the United Stat
es squadron. TO surely and GER
tainly perform the task set de-
manded cool head, insouciance
to surroundings, and logged
persistence, since the enterprise
was of the nature of a naval for
lorn hope. The results to the
country in practically, and for
the present, at least, disposing
of the Spanish feet as regards
future offensive operations in
western waters, are incalculable.

We can take Cuba and end this
war whenever we get ready.
Then why delay and pile up ex-
penses F.? An issue of four hun
bred millions of bonds and CERT
ficates of Indebtedness ought to
sufficiently satisfy the greed OF
the bondholders for them to per-
nit us to end the war at once.
But there is no limit to greed,
and we fear the bondholders will
demand that the war continue
long enough to give them q
chance to get another issue.

VIM. j. Bryan, in his speech
at the dedication of the exposi-
ton building at Omaha last week
uttered the following noble SEN
timents
"War is harsh; is attended by
hardship and suffering; it means
a vast expenditure of men and
money. We may pray for the
coming of the time, promised ia
holy writ, when the spears shall
be beaten into pruning hooks
and the swords into plowshares,
but universal peace cannot come
until justice is enthroned throug-
hout the world.
Jehovah deals with nations as
he deals with men, and for both
DEGREES that the wages of sin is
death.
Until the right has triumphed
In every land and love reigns in
every heart, government must,
as a last resort, appeal to force.
'As long as the oppressor is
deaf to the voice of reason, so
long must the citizen accustom
his shoulder to the musket and
his hand to the saber.
"Our nation exhausted diplom-
acy in its efforts to secure a
peaceable solution of the Cuban
question, and only took up arms
when it was compelled to choose
between war and servile acoui-
.esceuce in cruelties which would
have been a disgrace to barbar-
ism.
History will vindicate the DO
sition taken by the United States
in the war with Spain.
In saying this [ assume that
the principles which were in
voked in the Inauguration of the
war will be observed in it's pros
ecution and conclusion.

ties into a war of conquest we

The War UP To Date.
wool Record,

Is it war, or is it dress parade?
What has been accomplished
during the forty-six days since
the beginning of these lamb like
hostilities? It. is true that Ad-
miral Dewey sunk Montijo's fleet
in Manila harbor, but that was
on the other side of the earth. 1t
is also true that Schley seemed
disposed to do something, but
has been more effectually bottled
up than has Cervera. Sampson
probably claims the credit for
Hobson's courageous feat in the
Santiago channel. 1t was a brave
act, but only an American ship
was sunk and there was no smell
of gunpowder about the perfor-
nance.
1t is said that by this act Samp-
son cOrked the bottle into which
Cervera SO alertly entered, and
from which he apparently has
no desire to escape. Cervera
is undoubtedly corked in, but
Schley is also corked out. This,
however, seems to harmonic
with our strategic policy. The
sailors on the Merrimac were
brave men, but such heroism can
be put to a better use. This is
especially true in view of the
fact that the destruction of Ger
vera's squadron would terminate
the war, and restore normal con-
ditions of finance ard commerce
which, before the beginning of
these hostilities. promised SO
much of prosperity to the
country.
The dreaded Spanish mines
were not in evidence. The marks
manship of the Spanish guuners
was ridiculously poor even for
them. A fighting ship could
have as easily and safely entered
the harbor ais did the collier.
Others could have followed.
Dewey would have disdained the
mines, silenced the forts, and
sunk the Spaniards. He learned
that trick from Faragut. Ger
vera is bottled up. He is in a
pickle. But this protracts the
war and gives Admiral Camara
time to prepare his Cadiz fleet
for our annoyance and the en-
enlargement of SPANS delusive
hopes.
The policy now prevailing at
Washington seems to contem-
plate an indefinitely protracted
war. This policy is calamity
for many reasons. In addition
to the enormous direct expense
to the Government, and the in
calculable financial, commercial
and industrial waste and loss to
the whole country, 1t wounds the
pride and patriotism of the
people, demoralizes our fighting
forces on land and sea, and mag
mites an enemy that is pitiably
insignificant except in crimes
against humanity that call for
instant punishment.
This tedious, temporizing war
policy seems to be inspired by
the oficions military amateurs
parvenues who wish to justify
their unearned titles and make
their decorated pretensions less
ridiculous.
