WHAT BOSTON EDITORS SAT-.

Boston, June 2s.-The Journal says:
"Ths bloodless victory OF Manila has In
one way had an unfortunate effect. 1t
has encouraged the country in the de-
lusion that a great war can be carried
on--on our side--without loss, and that
IL American soldiers or sailors are killed
or wounded 1t must all be due to reck-
lessness or Incompetence"
1.-THE great battle may take place to-
day or tomorrow. and 1t may be deferred
until later in the week; but when II Is
fought 1t is likely to take a place among
the historic battles Of the world" is the
conclusion Of The Post.
The Advertiser insists that 1T is good
thing to let all the world know that we
mean to fight with unceasing energy. and
mean to avail ourselves OF all legitimate
means for conquering a speedy and
righteous peace
THE Spaniards," remarks The Globe.
"are said to have fenced In Santiago;
but our brave boys. 1t Is to be hoped. will
have little difficulty in pulling down the
fence and of making 1t hot In the back
yards Of that city"

MORE TEARS THAN CHEERS.

Salem, June 2s.-There was q solemn
and impressive scene when the recruits
for the Eighth regiment left to join the
command at Chickamauga- There was
no enthusiasm; Just two doleful drums
beat time as Sergeant Whelpley led the
little band from the armory to the train.
A crowd Of over 1000 people bade them
farewell, but there were more tears than
cheers.
A detachment OF @. A. r. men with the
post colors was at the depot to see the
boys OF. Mayor Waters gave the re-
cruits farewell word, and Colonel john
SON of the Second corps cadets was pres
ent to say goodbye to the men who re-
signed from his corps to enlist in COM
pany H for actual service. The colonel
gave Private Aull. who was in charge Of
the squad. q roll Of bills, instructing him
to purchase a good supper for the boys
In Boston. The young Egyptian Har-
ward student, II. Midhram de Cumauas
was among the recruits.

MYSTERIOUS INVENTION.

Colonel Bumngton Workfng ON Ons
Thought - He of 0rset importance.
Colonel A. r. Burlington, inventor Of
the disappearing gun now used by the
government, Is now working day and
night ut the United States reservation
In Dover, N. j., ON . new invontion
which It n thought will be even more
important that the one which has made
him famous. Just what the invention is
Colonel Burlington will not say. In fact /;
he did not wish IL to become public that
he was engaged ON such important work.
It is quite certain. though, that tho In,
vention will be in general use before,
the present war is over.
It IL the development Of an idea that
came to Colonel Burlington in 1878,
about the time that he advised the use
Of disappearing gun. There was every
prospect Of q war with Spain when he
advocated tho use Of the gun carriage
which has proved Of inestimable value.
Colonel Burlington says the disappear
ing gun was an idea merely Incidental
to the greater invention on which he
was working in 1878, and which he is
confident he will now carry to success
full completion.
When I saw Colonel Burlington re-
Gently, he said: II am sorry that can
give you no information ON the subject.
You know yourself how unwisc il would
be in me to talk about such an inven-
tion before IL was passed upon by the
government. "Is it an explosive or q
gun you are working on?" Colonel Buf.
fington smiled-that wps all.
When the government adopted the
disappearing gun invention, Colonel
Burlington asserted In the specification
that no dedicated the patent to the
United States to have, made or buy
anywhere without payment Of royalties
Asked about such reckless disregard
for opportunities for wealth he said re-
Gently: Everything I have invented I
have given to Uncle Sam. Why should
not /? I received my education at his
expense, and all that comes out Of my
brain now certainly ought to 60 to
Uncle Sam and will 60 to him." Colo
mel Burlington was educated at West
Point after leaving school in Wheeling,
w. Va, which city was his birth place.
From 1881 to 1899 he was stationed at
the Springfield (Mass.) arsenal. After
ward he was sent to Rock Island, where
he remained more than Eve years and
built the magnificent new bridge across
the Mississippi. New York Herald.

Diggers are usually . tough proposition
for the Bisons. Brown was In nns fettls,

with fast and slow ouea and he kent the
visitors guessing from stsrt to finish.
The home batsmsn got line on Rud-

and after they once struck their pas
nothing could stop them. They kept
the fielders In oil directions on the jump
and piled up hits and runs In bunohes.
They scored seven 7una before the
Providence men we're able to eet In the
game at all. IL was not until the sixth
inning that they did any scoring. In
that innina Lyons drove out q three

plate, and Lynch aaiusd first base on the
attempt to throw out Lyons. Lsahy

three more In the same Inning, and just

scored another in the seventh inning.
Ths soore was one-sided, but there were

GERMANY's ATTITUDE.

spondent Of The Times. commenting on
Germany's attitude in the Philippines
as affecting England, says: 1T will
not sufiice England to send few more
warships to Manila. The Germans.
I have good reason for saying, would
rather welcome such proceeding than
the reverse. since what they consider
fair shares In division of the In
heritancs from Spain means a share
fer themselves entirely out of proportion
to their commercial. interests as COM
pared with those Of England In the
Philippines, or. in the far east. What

a cordial understanding with the United

CUBAN INSURGENTS.

They Are Excellent Scouts, Full Of Re-
sources and Absolutely Fearless.
The sample Of fighting shown by the
insurgents down around Santiago solves
the mystery why the Spaniards have not
been able to put down the rebellion In
Cuba The naval officers In their TO
ports to the department speak In enthu-
siastio terms Of the bravery, the endur-
ance and the intelligence Of the Cubans
who have come under their observation.
Hardened to nature, like the American
Indians, whom they resemble, they are
able to endure great hardships without
weakening their physical strength.
They can 20 long time without food
and at all times subsist without DIM
Guilty upon natural fruits, berries, vege-
tables and the products Of the Cuban
swamps and forests upon which an or
binary white man would starve.
They are excellent scouts, full Of re-
sources, have keen perception and are
absolutely fearless. Their greatest de-
feet, however, is lack Of experience
with firearms. Many Of them are poor
marksmen, and al are wasteful Of their
ammunition, which makes it necessary
to caution them constantly. Most of the
insurgents that have como into our
camps in Cuba are negroes, and ma
jority Of them Of full blood. They are
entirely uneducated, cannot even read
or write, have no knowledge Of the out
side world and are as ignorant rs the
colored mountaineers Of Tennessee or
North Carolina. - William e. Curtis in
