back, but always in a different position
to that of his neighbor in the ranks
The order is invariably a straggle, and
the formation is more easily guessed at
than identified oy one accustomed t. the
sharp. quick movements and straight
serried ranks of more disciplined troops
Yet withal the Spanish soldier is A
good fighter when brought to bay, as
many a bloody field has dttested. In
guerrilla warfare his fame is pre-eminent
and amidst the greatest privations he
bears his hard lot cheerfully and uncom-
plainingly. Notwithst anding his shut
fling gait, he seems never to tire on the
march, and in brief is in many respects a
worthy and dangerous foe. On the field
OF lgualada, one of the fiercest fights of
the late Carlist war, a loyal regiment that
mad no choice between humiliation and
surrender, unhesitatingly chose the for
mer and allowed itself to be mercilessly
butchered, though not without rendering
good account of the enemy, whose vic
tory was purchased at an enormous sac
rifice.
In the matter of food. the Peninsular
soldier is easily satisfied and no great
charge on the commissariat. Two meals
a day suffice him, and those are scanty
enough. In some smart corps coffee
and soup are allowed early in the morn
ing, but the average soldier feeds only at
a. m. and again at p m
One and a half pounds of bread, and
black at that, is the entire ration, allow
ed per day by the government. Any ad-
d1tIonal luxurieS (Save the markO must
be purchased out of his own pocket at
the regimental canteen, which is kept by
civilian, though the prices are kept
within reasonable bounds by a regime ntal
committee. The private eats little or no
meat, especially when on active service,
and to this is attributed the wonderful
recuperative power of Spanish soldiers,
their wounds healing extremely easily
and rapidly. On the march our Don is
satisfied with a chunk of dry black
bread, a little oil and a Glove or two of
garlic, the whole washed down by a mod
est allowance of water. Truly a fighting
ration that the American soldier would
find it hard to stomach! No wonder the
typical Spaniard is lean and vile smelling
and unwhOlesome looking,

KNOCKS AN OK DOWN.
Corbett Shows That He can Hit Blow
of Terrific Force.

New York, May 31.-James ]. Corbett
gave absolute proof today that he can
hit hard. In a discussion with some &C
quaintances the question of the force of a
pugilistic blow came up, and one of those
present vouchsafeed the opinion that Cor
bett would have won at Carson had he
hit harder.
"Why, he can knock an OK down." as
serted an admirer of the former cham
pion.
BET he can't" was the reply of skep-
teal man. A wager was the result and
Corbett agreed to undertake the task.
The entire party, which included some
well-known sporting men, went to an
east side slaughter-house and a big,
mild-eyed OK was trotted out to be oper-
ated on.
Corbett removed his coat and cuffs and
then swung his arms about, in order to
timber hiSm uScleS. The OK was tied so
he could not side step or duck. When he
was prepared for the attack Corbett
danced about in true pugilistic style and,
after feinting with his left, he suddenly
drove his right with crashing force be-
tween the animals eyes.
The OK fell to his knees as though
struck by sledge and then rolled over
on it's side, completely knocked out. Cor
bett then replaced his cuffs and coat and
smiled at the skeptical man, who paid his
losses and inquired:
"Will somebody please tell me how
Fitzsimmons stood those thumps? Why,
he must be stronger than an OK"

IN POLICE COURT.
Recorder Jobs Promulgates a New and
Healthful Doctrine.

There was a plethora of business in
police court yesterday There were
Il dozen DRINKS and peace disturbers
in the morning The afternoon SEES
sion was given up to the two most
important offenders. Mary Redmond
and man named Brennan. Mary
Redmond claimed to be a production
Of Tucson, She arrived here about
a week ago. There was a Phoenix
gentleman On the same train and he
was introduced to Miss Redmond who
claimed to be a schoolma' am. She
! was on her way to Phoenix, she said
to make application for position in
the city. The Phoenix gentleman
was very much impressed by her good
manners and Intellectual cast, and be-
| ing moreover a gallant gentleman he
proffered the use OF his influence with
| the board of directors
During the long wait at Maricopa
! he saw no more Of her, but she had
evidently beguiled the weary hours
by consuming much Maricopa whisky
/ When the train started she was boiling
drunk, and when she arrived in Phoe-
nix she had skates on, notwithstand-
| ing the skating season in this latitude
was long since passed and the best
class Of citizens had turned to other
forms OF amusement and recreation
But Miss Redmond kept on skating
until she glided gracefully into the
calaboose. She will be there fifteen
days longer.
There were three charges against
Mr.. Brennan, driving fast, resisting an
officer and being drunk. He was
given FIVE days for the first, ten days
| for the second and fifteen days for the
| last, which was the groundwork for
two former offenses. In passing SEN
tence upon him, Recorder Jobs enun-
ciated a new and healthful doctrine
| He said this practice of driving about
! the streets with prostitutes on Sun
| day afternoons and appearing with
them at public concerts and mingling
with respectable people must cease.
Hereafter if such persons are arrested
they will be properly punished in po-
lice court on the ground that they
bave outraged public decency.

THE SPANISH SOLDIER.
How He Really Looks on the March and
in Battle.

The Spanish soldier, as described by
those who have seen him in his den, is
a small, lissom, almost puny being, and
presents a picture the reverse of inspirit-
ing. AS he slouches along on the march,
unkempt, unshorn and characterization,
the sight of him in the ranks would
break the heart of an English or German
martinet-than whom there is no greater
stickler for form and appearance on the
face of the earth, or at least the writer
has never seen a greater. But to come
back to our Spaniard-huge hempen san
dals encase his often sockless feet his
trousers are frayed and threadbare, his
i1l-ftting tunic hangs limp and loose for
want of buttons here and there and his
cap, if he boasts one, is flung carelessly
the back of his head. Huge wooden
gloves of a bright green hue, and sadly
in need of darning, endeavor to conceal
the scanty length of the tunic sleeves,
but two or three inches of a brown sin
envy arm insist on peeping forth at the
least exertion. His rifle is carried any,
how-sometimes at the trail, sometimes
at the slope. and often slung behind his

OFF TONIGHT.
Texarkana Will Send a Company For
ward Tonight.

There have been several squads of
young men recruited from this point
and sent to the front, and tonight
our city will furnish some 40 or 30
more to swell thenumber of the 4th
Texas regiment now IN camps in
Houston. Second Lieutenant A. C.
Rodgers of Company K, of this reg
imeut, and Assistant Surgeon J. Z.
HalseI of the same regiment, ar
rived here yesterday and went to
work examining and swearing in the
members of the company as they
presented themselves. Out of 35
who we're examined yesterday, only
|. five were rejected as not coming up
to the requirements. We learn that
the company is composed of men
ranging IN age from IS to p years
and only one member goes beyond
this age and this one has reached
the age of 36. None of the men are
married nor have they any one de-
pendent on them forsupport.
We learn from Sergeant Bob Mil
Ter that several members of the
company were sent yesterday on re
cruiting duty and they are expect
ed to come in today with some ten
or a dozen more men. The com
pany, it is believed, will leave here
tonight fifty strong, and that the
officers now here will remain two or
three days and forward the new
men who have signifed their will
Iingness to 90, but want a few days
time to fix up their business before
they depart. Let our people turn
out tonight and wish the boys luck
before they leave.
