New York. June THE Evening
Journal prints the following Cape Hay.
tien dispatch:
Simpsons feet achieved glorious
victory at the bombardment of Santiago
yesterday. From the time the firing be-
gan until II o'clock a terrible lombard
ment was carried on. The firing was
then stopped to give the men chance
to eat dinner and at noon the firing was
resumed. From Spanish reports direct
from Santiago, ii is claimed the damage
done was tremendous.
The first gun was fired by the Iowa at
MORO Castle, where Hobson is reported
by Cervera to be incarcerated. This in
formation was believed by Sampson to be
subterfuge to keep the American ships
from firing at that part of the fortifica
ton.
The first shell flew wide, but the
second was accurate and tore one OF the
batteries to flinders.
There were ten American ironclads in
the line of formation and no. ward OF
coast escaped the shells of the feet.
Over 1900 shells, not including the one.
two, three, four and six pound shots, were
hurled at the Spanish forts.
The forts recently constructed at
Aguadores by Colonel Ordenez. the
famous artillery expert, were blown to
dust. The colonel himself was badly
wounded.
Shortly after o'clock the American
squadron moved closer into the harbor
The Reina Mercedes, a Spanish cruiser,
was discovered attempting to sink dyna-
mite to blow up the slnken Merrimac.
A 3-inch shell from the Oregon landed
squarely on the pilot house and explod-
ing tore the upper works to splinters.
The second commodore was killed and
FIVE sailors blown to pieces. A lieuten-
ant and I6 seamen were seriously wound.
ed and one marine was killed. A perfect
shower of steel and shot fell upon the
old cruiser, and SO badly damaged it that
Cervera was compelled to order that it
be abandoned and the seamen seek
safety in flight.
On the shore the casualties were
scarcely less serious. Besides Ordenez,
two other officers were wounded. The
two officers and two men were so badly
hurt that they will die.
The forts that protected Santiago are
now a mass OF ruins. Moro Castle lies
shapeless mass of masonry and shat
tered guns. The forts at Estella were
totally demolished.
At noon force of marines were land
ed at Dalquiri. They were attacked by
force of Spanish infantry and cavalry.
The insurgents were in the neig ghborhood
and with their assistance the marines
taok up a position aud maintained 1t.
The Spanish force was defeated with
heavy loss and were driven back to San.
tiago. leaving their dead and wounded
on the field.
The Amt ricans took up position at
Dalquiri and under their protection the
landing of troops and heavy guns pro.
ceeded.
A panic reigns in Santiago. All resi-
dents who can do so are aeeing to join
the Cubans. All are doing everything in
their power to get away from Cervera's
doomed feet.
There is no report of damage TO any
OF the American fleet. nor are there re.
ports Of any American losses.

~ liking Up Tax Returns.

AL MENTAL operations are inter
esting, but of all mental operations
known to humanity we have the
most burning curiosity to see those
of the average honest man making up
his tax return. 1t must be the most
curious and complicated evolution
which the intellectual anu moral ma
chinery of man performs. i
A man will marshal his assets, as
all prudent men do, and after count
ing everything on both sides will
conclude that he has 30 much olear
property, representing his accumula.
tions available for. his family in case
of death. Then he will prepare for
the tax assessors list in which his
real estate will shrink from forty to
ninety per cent and his personal pro-
porty will virtually disappear. He
makes oath that this list is true
and just one and does it with a clear
conscience. He is, perhaps, man
who on any other subject would be
painfully exact in telling the truth,
who would not commit any other
perjury to save his own life. Yet in
the matter of taxes he does not COM
nit perjury and is entirely satisfied
with his own action.
Reform schemes have been organ
izod in nearly every other depart
ment of vice. We have temperance
societies, anti-tobacco leagues, social
purity leagues and all other kinds Of
freaks and fandangoes, but the re-
formers have all stunned the under
assessment question as q country
horse avoids steam fire engine or q
brass band. Why doesn't some man
or woman with some kind Of rib.
bon and salary and commission on
membership come along, hire halls
and organize branches of the Honest
Assessment Confederation? If We
could get fifty prominent tax payers
in every town sworn to swear to the
exact truth about what they have
to return their property to the as,
SCISSORS as they return it to them.
selves in their meditations, the tax
rates would come down in a hurry
and there would be such q reviva
of honesty as the world has nevo,
seen since the day after the Ananias

the patriotic army, for obvioua rea-
sons the colonists were poor, and
the war made it impossible to import
material for clothing from England.
Homsspun did not lend itself
readily to great variations of color,
and even after it had been decided
to make blue the standard coler Of
the American uniform, the local jeal-
ousies existing between the colonists
required the use of different oolors
for faoings. In 1902 uniform was
prescribed for our army consisting
of o dark blue coat reaching to the
knee, scarlet lapels and cuffs, white
waistcoat and GROSS belts, and dark
blue pantaloons for tho winter and
white for the summer. These arti-
clea of clothing were exchanged later
for single-breasted coats without fac
ings, and during the whole period
the height of the collar kept rising,
ending with the requirement that it
should be worn high enough to reach
the tip of the ear, and in front as
high as the chin would permit in
turning the head. 1t was in this
costume, including high silk hat,
that our ancestors fought the Bri-
tish in the war of 1912. In 1921
dark blue was declared to be tho
national uniform color for both off,

The Uniform Of the Soldier.

H = . = E Z . T.
The returning regiments, Glad in
all kinds of costumes, have arc sG
considerable curiosity on the sub
jeot Of uniforms in general. It is said
that the Emperor v alerius Maximds
ordered the Roman soldiers to wear

French and British forces. Red has
been ruled out Of orr own army cf
recent years, except for facings,
largely upon the theory that the
color vas too. conspicuous to carry
into the field. This is not, however,
strictly. true if we rely upon expert
,nents made by tho European mill
tary experts. German rifle range
practice has shown that blue tar
get,is hit three times while red
target is hit once. Other interesting
tests have been made with q view
to determining the distance that SOL

of ten soldiers clad in gray, scarlet,
dark blue, and green, dark gray was
tho color that remained longest in
view next came the dark blue with
tho dark gray, while scarlet was the
seceaaa tc aissrrrer, being exce!!ed
only by the dark gray.
The evolution of the uniform is
,ha subject of an inter esting article
in The New York Evening Post,
from which we CLEAN the following g
facts When the Revolutionary war
broke out, each colony had it's mill
tia, and the uniform of no two bodies
were alike. Az Lexington and Con-
cord it does not appear that the
patriots had any uniforms. The
same is true of Bunker Hill, but soon
after the latter battle, some gene
raj rules, for military costume
were adopted. The higher officers
came to be known by the colors of
the ribbons worn across their breasts
The officers lower in rank were dis

their hats. Throughout the wa,

Various changes took place in the
shape Of the clothing of the soldiers
until 1868, when our uniform became
practically fixed, tho cloth for the
trousers being light blue and the
faoinga being light blue for infantry,
yellow for cavalry, and red for artil-
lery. .s:.. ... 49,.
For general campaigning, the old
Continental uniform, which was
largely used during tho Revolution
ary days, is the most satisfactory.
The British came 10 associate with
this costume the idea of the skilled
hunter and marksman, as found in
our soldiers of that day, and thoy
dreaded nothing more than coming
upon large body of oolonists clad
in this garb.
With the refnements of the uni
form camo series Of changes in the
fashion of wearing the hair and beard.
In the days of the Revolution, tho
troops, when on dress parade, wore
their hair queued and powderded,
and they themselves were clean
shaven. One of Westinghouse
orders was that at general inspection
and reviews two pounds OF -four and
one and g one,half pounds of rom
dered tallow for hundred men
should be used in dressing the hair,
and another reminded the mon that
they would "not be allowed to appear
with their hair down their backs and
over their forehead and down their
chins at tho side, which makes them
appear moro like wild beasts than
{ soldiers" and that "any soldier who
comes on the parade with beard OF
hair unkept shall be dry shaved i'm
mediately and have his hair dressed
on parade" 1t was not until hall
century later that the order regarding
whiskers was rescinded, the only
rule since then being that they be
kept short and neately trimmed.
