Notwithstanding this, the run continues

MAY GET LEFT
Today the Utah cavalry troop and the
two Utah batteries were made part OF
the Third brigade, which comprises also
the Tenth Pennsylvania, First Colorado
and First Nebraska regiments of infantry.
While all the Utah wings are happy TO
be thrown together, they do not relish
one phase of the assignment. There IS a
cavalry troop in the First brigade, which
is to sail for Manila next week, ana since
it is generally conceded that only one
mounted body will be sent to the Pnii-
ippines, the Utah riders fear they will be
left.
FIRST SABRE DRILL.
Today troop A had its first mounted
sabre drill. Considering the fact that
many of the horses were at first very
fractions. some of them having been I'M
manageable on the quiet field OF Fort
Douglas, where Walt ClawSOn'S leg was
broken, the boys deem themselves lucky
to have passed through this first exercise,
attended by the flash and clank OF arms
without accident.
The favorite drill ground is Golden
Gate park, up and down whose broad
boulevards the cavalrymen march and
maneuver once or twice every day. The
spot is cool and beautiful, overlooking
the ocean. The boulevards are lined on
either side with flowers, trees. lawns and
reserves of deer and bison. Captain
Gaines men figure it out that just as
horseback riding is better than walking
about a shaded park of a summer even
ing, so is the cavalry service superior to
infantry.
1t is possible that the troop will yet
be recruited TO 100 non-commiSsioned Of
fcers and men. This would necessitate
the mastering in of 10 more recruits who
would likely all be taken from among the
excess volunteers of Utah.
The health of all the boys is perfect.

on which this map was based was re-

it, and could then hold out for an indefinite
time as sort Of citadel for the fleeing
residents. AS matter Of fact, they are
not much better fitted for such duty than
those on Castle Williams would be to
destroy New York.

A Christian War

The serious question to a Christian man
is whether the war in which we have en-
gagged is Christian. AS 1t IL one in which
we are the challening, attacking party
this is very serious, nay, solemn ques-
ton.
The morals Of any act is in the reason
for it. If the reason for this war is Chris
ton, then the war is Christian.
The compelling reason is one and single.
1t is not revenge; it is not greed, 1t 10
compassion We do not fight to punish
Spain for blowing up our ship of war; we
have declared that we do not, and we have
tod the truth. We do not want Cuba,
and would much rather that it should re-
main independent We make war only
to stop bloody, cruel, inhuman war, one
right under our eyes, one that has sacri-
feed women and children by the score
and hundreds Of thousands. This slaugh-
ter we can endure no longer. We de-
clare it must stop, and that Cuba must
be free
Now, is this Christian sentiment, or IL
it not? Let the readers own heart an
swer. Is it Christian to stand still and
look on when ruffian Is committing mur-
der? The answer to that simple ques-
ton settles the matter. There Is nothing
else to be said. The right Of self defense
is Christian, but the duty Of defending
and rescuing others in danger Of wrong
is as much more Christian as It IS less
selfish.
So when we are told that the Cubans
are mongrels and savages all, and that
they should be left to be exterminated:
or when we are told that 1t is none Of our
business, that our people are not being
starved, and that we should keep our
noses out of the fuss; or when men de-
clare that Spain owns Cuba, and has the
owners right to do what she will with
her own, and that we are not our neigh
boris keeper, we simply say that the
American people have not thus learned
Christianity. We have not learned that
holding a slave for fifty years gives right
Of ownership in the slave; that 400 years
of control over a colony forbids its right
of independence. We know that Chris
tianity is peace on earth, but never to
bad-willing men. AS a Christian nation
we have the duty to demand that the
long, devastating and cruel war in Cuba
shall end, and, trusting in God, we will
end it."-Independent-

MAIL TWO-THIRDS ENGLISH
Although Only One-Quarter Of Civil
lied People, Speak That Tongue

Two-thirds of all the letters which pass
through the postoffices of the world arc
written by and sent to people who speak
English.
There are substantially 500,000,000 per-
sons speaking colloquially one or an
other Of the 10 or IL chief modern Ian
guages and of these about 25 per cent.
or 125, 1000, 900 persons, speak English.
About $1,000, 900 speak Russian, 75,O0O,0 600
German, Sc, ,000, 900 French, $4,000, 600 Span
ish, 35 000, 900 Italian, and 100000 Por-
tugucse and the balance Hungarian,
Dutch, Polish, Flemish, Bohemian, Gae-
lie, Roumanian, Swedish, Finnish Danish
and Norwegian.
Thus, while only one-quarter of those
who employ the facilities of the postal de-
partments of civilized governments speak,
as their native tongue, English, two
thirds of those who correspond do SO in
the English language.
The situation arises from the fact that
so large a share of the commercial busi-
ness of the world is done in English, even
among those who do not speak English
as their native language.
There are, for instance, more than TO-
900 postoffices in India, the business Of
which in letters and papers aggregates
more than 100000, 900 parcels year, and
the business of these offices is done chiefly
in India's total population, which is near
ly 300,000,000, fewer than 100000 persons
either speak or understand English.
Though 9O,O00,00O speak or understand
Russian, the business of the Russian
post department is relatively small, the
number of letters sent throughout the
czar's empire amounting to less than one
half of the population of Russia in Europe.
The Southern and Central American
countries in which either Spanish or Por-
tuguese is spoken do comparatively little
postoffice business, the total number of
letters posted and collected in year in all
the countries of South and Central Amer
lea and the West Indies being less than in
Australia.
Chile and Argentina are, in fact, the
only two South American countries in
which amy important postal business is
done, and most of the letters received from
or sent to foreign countries are not in
Spanish but in English, French, German
or Italian.-New York Herald.

How John Bull Got His Name

Now that John Bull and Uncle Sam are
exchanging compliments in such friendly
fashion folks are asking where our trans
atlantic cousin got his name, and very
few people can answer the question. 1t
is of special interest to note just now that
it was introduced in a story Of Spanish
affairs.
DR.. John Arbuthnot, one of the many
royal physicians to whom the Scotch city
of Aberdeen has given birth, was the
author of John Bulls being. Almost
forgotten now by all but the erudite, who
remember him as the intimate of Pope
and Swift, Arbuthnot christened the
British nation in bulk as John Bull in the
political strife incidental to the dismissal
of the Whig ministry of 1710, when the
able and avaricious Marlborough saw the
beginning of the decline Of his brilliant
fortunes.
'The History of John Bull' was satire
on the political events preceding the
treaty of Utrecht in 1713, written by Ar
buthnot. In 17O4 he had been created
physician extraordinary to the queen in
recognition Of his services In saving the
life Of Annes husband, Prince George Of
Denmark. He had become the queens
confidential medical attendant a position
of no mean Importance at a time when
so much depended on the succession to-
the crown, and he was closely in touch
with court life.
For the better understanding the fol-
lowing history, the reader ought to know
that Bull, in the main, was an honest,
plain dealing fellow, choleric, bold and Of
a very inconstant temper. He dreaded
not old Lewis, either at backward, single
falchion or cudgel play; but then he was
very apt to quarrel with his best friends.
especially if they pretended to govern
him; if you flattered him you might lead
him like child. Johns temper depended
very much upon the air; his spirits rose
and fell with the weather glass.
John was quick, and understood his
business very well; but no man alive was
more careless in looking into his accounts
or more cheated by partners.-New York
Herald.

HAVANA AND ITS DEFENSES
Good Guns on the Water Front if They
Were Properly Handled

The defenses of Havana, as shown by
the latest information in the hands of
Rear Admiral Sampson which has been
published, are sufficient to make the city
nearly impregnable if the guns were sup
piled with proper ammunition and well
handled. Within two miles and a half
Of the main part of the city there are
mounted along the coast nine 12-inch
rifles, ten 1O-inch rifles, eight short S.27-
inch guns, two 8-inch rifles and four
6-inch guns, besides numerous cannon of
smaller caliber and more or less an
tiquated pattern. AT Cabanas castle, half
way through the ile-long narrow en-
trance to the big harbor of Havana, are
fifty-nine old-fashioned muzzle-loading
cannon and five 10-inch mortars, equally
antiquated. Perhaps the most effective
battery of the lot is one that is about u
mile and a quarter to the west of the en-
trance of the harbor, where five 12-inch
guns have recently been erected. The
range Of these guns, properly handled, is
greater than that of any attacking fleet
could bring to bear, because the gunner
on shore can elevate the muzzle of his
piece far more than Is possible for the
gunner afioat. There are two more
12-inch guns two miles west Of the harbor
entrance, and still another pair of them a
little over mile to the east. These are
understood to be all of them first-rate
modern guns, and should have an effec-
tive range of seven miles. At least that
is what the American gunners at Sandy
Hook say they can get out of their r.
inch rifles. There is formidable bat
terry, composed of guns whose caliber and
power are not known, at little promon-
tory less than a mile from the mouth of
the harbor, and Admiral Sampson's map

The following essay on the present war
between the United States and Spain was
written by Paul Harper, the 6-year-old son
of William Hudson Harper. The boy is in
