SOME SPANISH SER

General Augustin Luque Is one of the
serene Spaniards whom the United
States forces may have to tackle at
Santiago. If he carries out the plans
he has formed, If his subordinates mind
him and if he finds United States SOL
diers what he thinks they are he will
perhaps be able to set Spain rejoicing
by news of a "repulse." He has issued
an order to his soldiers in which he
tells them that the only way of defeat
ing the Americans is to remain on the
defensive. The Spanish troops he says,
should be protected by the intrench-
ments known among the Spaniards as
carlistas, because the Carlists used
them In their civil war in Spain. The
insurgents, says Luque, lack the cour-
age and discipline to attack the Span
iards so defended, and the Americans
will not dare to do it, because they are
not trained to war and lack the dash
and daring of the Spaniards. General
Luque instructs his officers to read the
sentence containing that information to
the Spanish soldiers until they are con-
WINGED that behind their intrenchments
they are invincible. He adds that the
Americans will surely open fire from
long distance, but the Spaniards
ought to avoid them until they are
within four hundred yards. Then the
fire is to be answered by volleys or at
will, and If the Americans have the
courage to proceed the reserves will
make a sortie, and, charging with their
bayonets by the TANKS, will surely de-
feat the invaders. He says victory is
thing I advise. If our officers are Sc
rene the American recruits will encoun-
ter terrible defeat"
The Spanish officers will certainly
need their serenity when the United
States forces appear before them. They
will have to work hard to conceal their
surprise at the clash and daring those
forces will display. And by the time
the fight is over they may have sus-
picion that Spanish dash and daring
are not the whole shooting match.
