Long Range Fighting.

In the Civil war the field artillery
could go into action at 600 or 800 yards,
but at Santiago the Mausers compelled
the batteries to move back to 1900 yards,
at which distance it was difficult to see
the position of our troops or that of the
enemy. The infantry charges, therefore,
were not covered by artillery, making
their complete success the more remark
able. But the light machine guns were
on the firing line, and their work was Of
the greatest value in clearing the way
for the fusl charge on San Juan hill
The little battery of machine guns pro-
tecting Gen. Lawton's flank was consid-
cred equivalent to brigade Of sharp
shooters.

The Trouble at Hayana.

That the streets of Havana should be
filled by rioters is Eot surprising, but was
to have been expected. The place is really
under no particular authority. While the
Spanish governor general is supposed 10 be
responsible for good order, he is on the eve
of his departure for Spain. Most OF his
troops have been withdrawn from the posi-
tions from which they could command the
dangerous quarters while the Americans
have not yet taken formal possession. The
criminal classes see their opportunity in
the lack of any system of administration,
and under cover of hatred OF the Spaniards
! terrorize the community. 1t was only after
riotng began that the Commissioners
seemed to recognize the danger. Then al
the last moment they patched up an agree
ment which left the question of response
bility for good order unsettled, and made
an appeal 10 the Cubans to preserve order,
which the professional criminals, including
these imported by Weyler, cheerfully ig-
ncre The organization OF police force
was delayed until long after Bianco and
large part OF the Spanish army had gone.
Al this moment the few American soldiers
unite with such Spanish soldiers as happen
10 be in the streets to suppress the crowds
of criminals that are bent on plunder as
subsidiary TO their trade of murder.
The Americans will probably be conf
pelIed TO exercise force to prevent the
worst riots as the last Of the Spanish
troops are removed to their new posi-
tions TO await embarkation. General
Brooke and General Ludlow are at
great disadvantage because they have had
no time or opportunity 10 detail troops
for police duty and can only send detach-
ments 10 the scenes of disorder as the
need arises To the ordinary intelligence
it seems as though the transfer from
Spanish to American authority might
have been made in way that would not
have left the city virtually unprotect d

Franklin on Higher Education.


In a more concrete form, too, Franklin testi-
fed TO the slight value he placed upon college
training He saw to it that both his son Will
lam and his nephew James were properly taught
but he sent neither to a university. When Will
lam Franklin put his son into the Pennsylvania
College the grandfather did not hesitate to with
draw him that he might take him to France
thus ending his further education. So. too, with
his other grandson, though having choice of
I'll the universities of Europe he gave him only
an ordinary education at q school in Geneva.
Joke as Franklin would, however, at ''Mr
Fogg" who explains English by Creek and
at the man who was learned that he could
name horse in nine languages; ignorant
that he bought a cow to ride on one of the
compliments which especially pleased him was
the recognition of his contributions to science
by the colleges. When Yale and Harvard both
gave him the degree Of master of arts, he, was
proud that without studying at any college,
j / came to partake of their honours,'' and when
the Universities of st. Andrews, Edinburgh, and
Oxford in succession conferred on him the de-
grees OF LED. or DEL, he was heedful TO
advertise the new honors on the title pages Of
his books.
Franklns disapproyal of the dead languages
was not akin to that of the fox. and. the grapes.
Though the boy had only one year at the Bos-
ton Grammar School. most of the Dogood let
ters were headed by, a quotation from Cicero.

ADMIRAL DEWEY A BAD
MAN TO FOOL WITH

San Francisco, Dec 2S-Frank Lom-
bard, who had just returned from Manila,
tells good story concerning Admiral
Dewey. He says:
In Cavite, you know, there are no
dockage facilities. Vessels lie at anchor,
and native freight boats called 'cascoes,
carry things to and from the shore. One
of the native officials contracted with
Dewey to carry stuff to the flagship. Af-
ter doing his duty he dressed himself in
the latest European fashion to visit the
admiral, silk hat, white shirt, cravat,
cuffs, etc.
When he presented his bill Dewey re-
marked that there were numerous over
charges which he could not pay. The
freighter captain protested that the ad-
miral was wrong and that he mad agreed
to the terms Dewey politely replied that
he would pay the original bill, nothing
more.
Mfstaking the quiet, gentlemanly man
ner OF the admiral the freighter became
insulting in his manner and insisted upon
payment. With slight movement Of the
hand the admiral remarked to the watch ::
Drop that man overheard, and in a min
ute the plug hat was floating in Cavite
Bay, while the insolent native was SWIM
ming to his vessel"
Lombard says the chances for fortune
in the Philippines are not nearly so
bright as they are painted. He declares:
Manila is no place for white man"
