hospitals in the woods. where they are
given every attention possible under
the circumstances
These hospitals are nothing more than
deserted country houses, with beds
made by driving four forked sticks into
the ground, two at the head and two
at the foot; heavy stick is then laid
in each pair Of forks, and thin sticks,
laid 1engthwise of the bed, rest on
these. The frame is then covered with
banana-leaves, and, if it is possible to
procure it, sheet completes the bed.
These hospitals are in charge Of
practicante, but under the general su-
perVisfon of the DOCTOR who visits them
as often as possible; and in some cases,
as after heavy engagement, doctor
or several doctors are assigned to them,
and remain as long as their services are
required. AS soon as a new patient
arrives he is placed on new bed, as
the same bed is never used twice, and
is given an attendant to do his cooking
and attend to his wants.
These hospitals are we'll supplied with
bandages and medicine, and the prefect
is required to keep them supplied with
vegetables, sugar, milk etc. The Cen

CUBAN HOSPITALS.
The Great Lack of the Insurgents
is Surgical Care.

Emory w. Fem, who served in the
Cuban army as Major contributes to
the June Century" an article entitled:
Ten Months With the Cuban Insur-
gents" Mr. Fem says:
On account of the tactics employed by,
the Cuban forces, and the divisions
made in them, together with the fact
that small bands often operate alone,
there is not a sufficient number Of doc
tors properly to attend to the wounded.
One doctor, and in some cases two, are
assigned to an entire division. These
doctors appoint assistants from the men
in the ranks, who, after little instruc-
tion, are given a few bandages, cotton,
carbolic acid, quinine, etc, and as
signed to the various regiments in the
division. These men are expected to
give the first aid to the wounded, and
administer such medicines as they may
have when they are required, but even
then it often happens that they are not
present when the men are wounded,
and it is necessary to take them many
miles on horseback, or in hammocks
hung on a long pole, before their
wounds are dressed. Owing to this de-
lay, small wounds often prove very Sc
rious. After their wounds are at
tended to, they are taken, as soon as
practicable. to one of the many small

VALUE OF CRUISERS.

The new American navy was planned
upon the assumption that we would
have small need for ships of assault,
being peaceable people. We provided,
therefore. for coast defense and har-
bor floating batteries, with few cruis-
ers to I'LL the necessary office Of visita-
ton to ports Of the world where we
trade. and where there are American
interests to be protected
The result of the war thus far has
impressed naval authorities, and for the
matter Of that all observant people,
with the necessity in future naval
building of giving more attention to
ships Of offense and speed. The con-
viction is nowasettled that our need is
for faster cruisers. The movements Of
the American. and Spanish fleets in the
. Caribbean and adjacent waters have
emphasized this conviction.
We need mot only more fast cruisers.
but swift armored cruisers. General
Tracy, Secretary of the Navy under
General Harrison, has at length pointed
out this need in a-recent article, show
ing why we should build our navy for
attack as well as defense. As General
Tracy was one of the originators of
the present navy, his advice comes with
especial force.
There is general admission now that
our naval disadvantage is lack of speed
in ships capable of meeting on terms
Of fair equality vessels Of strong fight
ing character. For instance, it is con-
ceded that Admiral SIMPSONS fleet as
at first composed was more than equal
to the. task Of destroying the Cervera
fleet. But it was hampered by the bat
tie and other heavy ships which have
not the speed to follow or cut off Ger
vera. These heavy boats are the most
effective fighting arms of SIMPSONS
fleet.
To this date our cruisers have been
our most successful ships, because of
their speed, and the ease with which

ARMY APPOINTMENTS.
Some That Tend to Demora1ize the
Army

The New York Times" in an edi-
torial commenting on the appointments
lately made of officers in the army,
says:
We do not speak of the appointments
to the line of the volunteers of un-
knowni men. Men unknown to the
country at large may be we'll known
and favorably known in their own
neighborhoods. For example Colonel
Francis Vinton Greene is not, we sup
pose, very extensively keown outside
of Washington and New York In
those cities he is known as precisely
the sort of man whom it is desirable
to recall to the military service. an
educated and experienced soldier, who
returns from civil life at the call of
the country, who has fairly won his
Colonelcy and may confidently be ex-
pected to win yet higher rank We are
prepared to believe, we are anxious to
believe, that the appointments from
civil life to the line of the volunteer
army are as legitimate and meritorious
as the promotions from the line Of the
army itself.
Tt is not the unknown names in the
list of appointments to the army that
nave SiChcIiCIA the pQDiAC. II Is LHe
names that are we'll known through no
act of the wearers of them. 1t is he
appointment of a John Jacob Astor to
be a Lieutenant Colonel, the appoint
ment of a grandson of Ulysses S. Grant
the appointment of son of James G..
Blaine, the appointment of a son of
John A. Logan, the appointment Of the
son of this Senator and that Repre-
sentative, the appointment of two sons
of Calvin s. Brfce. There is plainly no
sort of relevancy in such appointments
to the. good of the service, which is the
object which an intelligent and patriotic
President would continually bear in
mind. Every such appointment is dis
tinctly injurious to the service, for it
distinctly tends to demoralize and de-
bauch the service. What can be the
feelings of an officer who for a de-
cade or score of years has zealously
studied his profession and striven to
master it, in the hope that when war
came his preparation would win him
notice and preferment, when he finds
men put over his head because they
are the sons of their fathers or the
grandsons of their grandfathers, be-
cause their grandfathers fought for the
country. because their fathers are SEN
ators, or come from Ohio or because
they themselves are known as multi
millionaires."
One such appointment is enough to
injure the tone of the army. Twenty
of them together constitute as deadly
a blow against the efficiency of the
army as the President could admins
ter if he had taken the advice of Sa-
gasta and Blanco instead Of the Sena'
tors and Representatives and political
jobbers, whose pressure he has shown
himself unable to resist. Such weak
ness is as baleful in its results as de-
liberate wickedness.

A NATIONAL POLICY.
Tulare Register: Now we have
evolved, as the Register" believes, a
sound American policy with regard to
the coming crucial question. Let Us re-
capitulate:
l. Beyond American waters such in
dependent harbors of refuge and coal
ing stations as the exigencies of COM
merce may demand but no attempts
at American colonization.
2. Within American waters, coloni-
zation, Americanization and, finally,
annexation. by mutual consent arising
out of a common interest.
3. Maintenance of such relations
with South America as will give the
freest scope to American enterprise
and American emigration to the end
that there may grow up in our South
ern and Western Hemisphere a sister
republic, allied to our nation by COM
mon ties of interest, kindred and sim
ilarity of institutions.
May it be the mission of the Repub-
!, I'D
the nations own, part and parcel of
the very life of our people-a national
policy that will continue down the CEN
turies, patiently and wisely, but resist
lessly and always, dedicating this con-
tinent from the Arctic circle to the
Atlantic to liberty, equality and un-
trammeled enterprise.
AN OUTRAGE ON CUBA.
Los Angeles Herald: Any proposition
to make Cuba pay a part of the Span
ish public debt would be unchrstian
and barbarous. For three centuries
Spain has drawn heavily upon Cuban
resources, and more especially since
the loss of her possessions in the Amer
lean continent. Her eXactions have in
creased as her possessions in the West
ern Hemisphere have diminished. Cuba
has been compelled to contribute to the
expenses of Spain's wars to hold her
dependencies in subjugatiOn. Losses
have not had the effect to render the
Government of Spain less profigate;
they have not been utilized as lessons OF
economy and moderation. If Ameri-
can holders of Spanish bonds are enti-
tied to consideration, the holders of
Cuban bonds should not be disregard
ed. The latter have been issued to
advance the cause of freedom; the for
mer to perpetuate oppression. If
Cuba is to become independent, let her
enter upon her new career without be-
ing weighted with a load of debt con-
tracted by her extortionate oppressor.
