THE Spanish ambassadors of five
of the great powers of Europe went
to talk peace to the Spanish Gov
eminent last Thursday and were
politely told that Spain had al
ready gone to the limit in that d.
rection. The American represent
atives of the six greatest Euro
pean powers called ON President
Mckinley the same day in the in
terest of peace. He said in effect
that the indefinite proloneation of
the Cuban situation is insufferabl BILE.
Fight or back down is the only out
come. President Mckinley will not
back down, and tine Spanish gov
ernment dare not. Fight it must
be. At least that is the way it
looked when this was written.

JUsT when excitement and eager
anticipation were wrought up to
the highest pitch Wednesday of
last week notice came to Congress
that President Mckinley would
withhold his message till at least
Monday of this week. The reason
generally accepted was that Consul
General Lee couldn't get the Amer
leans in Cuba out of that country
before the end of the week and the
character of the message would
jeopardize their lives. Then it be-
came also known that influences
were Mt work on Spain and conces-
sions In the interest of peace would
be made by that nation.

If war was a foregone conclusion.
If Spain was as expert in war as
she is in diplomacy the United

like she was getting hurt, but she
foils the Administration and must
be really laughing in her sleeve.

GEN. MILES desire for IA bird-of-

out adverse comment. His latest
idea in the uniform line for private
soldiers is dress of dull brown
canvas that is inconspicuous in
battle and cool in warm weather
though servicablc in cold weather
with heavy woolen under garments
IA style of dress that is much in
favor with cunning sportsmen. The
idea seems to he good one. Ten
thousand uniforms of that kind
have been ordered.

SPAIN begged the great powers to
plead with her for an armistice of
IL sort that neither the insurgents
nor the United States want. She
jumped at the chance To comply
with the request made by her re
quest and now points with Spanish
pride to IA concession granted the
powers, but would have been scorn-
ed if the United States had made
il. SPANS pride and subterfuscs
are really piriful and compassion
for her weaknesses will assert it
self amidst all of her braggadocio.

THE United States asked Spain
TO declare an armistice. Spain re-
fused, but at the last moment re-
considered and is willing. The
Cubans don't want an armisticc
unless independence is the guaran-
teed end. Spain will have to ask
the insurgents for an armistice.
The insurgents want the advantage
of hostilities during the unhealthy
rainy season.

creased tax on beer and all forms
of manufactured tobacco. Then

on liquor can not be raised, because

Nine VERY IMPORTANT MEN.
Made Up Hospital Corps of the Third
Regiment as 1t Appeared on
Parade Saturday.

There were only nine men in the little
company that followed a-foot in the rear
of the column of marching soldiers in the
parade of the Third regiment Saturday
afternoon. They bore no arms and except
for the fact that the left coat sleeve of each
was adorned with a broad chevron OF spot
less white forming a background for a
brilliant red cross they were hardly dis
tinguished from the rest of the marching
men. There were probably many people
who witnessed the parade who did not
corps of the regiment or who had any very
clear knowledge of the duties they. will be
called upon to perform in case the reSi-
ment Is called into battle.
The hospital corps as it is made up at
present is composed of twelve privates
chosen for their knowledge of medicine.
There are also three hospital stewards.
The chief of the corps is Major Jabez N.
Jackson, and his assistants are DIR. Charles
Wilson and DR.. Walter Jackson, who are
and on the field of battle, they are the
Samaritan branch of the regiment caring
for the sick and wounded, and exerting
their utmost skill to save the lives of the
dying. Though on every occasion they are
unarmed. they carry otherwise the ordi-
nary equipment of the regulars.
The equipment of member of the hos
pital. corps consists of "a haversack. in
which he carries his wearing apparel; a
knapsack, blanket, canteen, plate, knife,
fork and cup. In addition to these arti-
ing antiseptic dressings and bandages.
They travel in the rear of the regiment
and those who are not mounted on horses
ride in the ambulance, in which are the
hospital tents and ltters. In each COM
pany of the regiment there are four men
who are known as litter bearers, and who
become temporary members of the hospital
corps when the regiment goes into action.
These litter bearers, as well as the per-
manent members of the corps, are in
structed in giving first aid to the injured.
During battle a field hospital is es-
tablished well out of the fire of the enemy
to which the wounded soldiers are carried
for temporary treatment. Those who have
received wounds that require further at
tention are removed to the hospital which
| every army always establishes far in its
| rear. The hospital corps of the Third regi-
| ment is composed of some of the repre-
sentative young doctors of Kansas City.
In the corps there is a dentist and a drug
giSt.
The roster of the corps as 1t will prob
ably go out with the Third regiment is as
follows: Major Jackson. chief surgeon;
Captain Charles Wilson and Captain Wal
ter Jackson, assistant surgeons: W. A.
Heller. R.: A. Light, G. B: Hill. C. E.
Slusher. Thomas Wyatt, John Green. f.
w. Moore. Robert Keith. F. d. Teas, John
Shy and Frank C. Neff.
