DOWNWARD COURsE on SPAIN

DOWNWARD COURsE or SPAIN.
Some idea OF the situation OF the pres
ent Spanish government may be gained
by glancing at the changes 1t has under
gone during the nineteenth century.
The reign Of Ferdinand VII, 1908 1888,
saw the beginning OF the end. Insurrec-
ton at home vas followed by invasion
from abroad. The troops OF Napoleon
Oyerran the country and for a time
Joseph BOnaparte occupied the throne.
The colonies In America reyolted, gained
their independence and were recognized
by the United States In 1923. Interior
ence in SPANS behalf. which was at
tempted by the Holy Alliance, was
promptly checked by President Monroe.
Under Isabella H., tie daughter OF
Ferdinand, the condition OF Spain was
not improved. She held the throne by
virtue Of her fathers decree reyOking the
salic law, but her right wa disputed by
Ferdinand's brother, the first Don Carlos
who began the long series Of ~unsuccess-
full CaTlist wars. Isabella's exeesses pro-
yoked a revolution In 1868. She was
bAnished. and has since resided In Paris.
A provisional government, Amadeo Of
Italy a king; again a provisional gov
eminent, q republic under CASTELAR, aud a
dictatorship through serranO followed
n another In rapid succession. In 1876
Alphonse Kill a son Of Isabella H., was
crowned king. lie died In 1885 and his
son. born dive months after his death,
now occupies the throne.
During all these changes the down.
ward course OF Spain has continued un-
checked. Colonial r%eyolts. CaTlist rebel
lions and corrupt administration have
drained the treasury and bankrupted the
country.

wheels show after several trips little
sign of having been in use at all. So
far not single one has given out, and
there has been no lapse of any kind
from lack of air.
Just at the inner rim Of ev5ry wheel
IS a small brass cap which screws
down over an orifice intended for re-
placing a supply of air which might
leak away. OF course, in time, d Ger
tain amount of air is bound to escape
from a pneumatic tire, and so blower
is attached to the little motor. and
whenever the engineer thinks that the
air in the tires is getting low, he con-
Eects the and motor, and presto, the
tire is as Hrm as the grasp of an Office
holder upon a place under the govern
nlent.
On each side the engine, and secured
Just bene ath the footboard, is a length
of capped hose, which is to be used for
a hydrant connection if desired, or
coupled onto regular line. The foot
board itself is made of solid oak, and
English oak is proVerhial for it's lasting
qualities. Engl:s hmen have never for

the battle was one Of the sharpest he
had ever experienced. It was only the
quick and constant fire of the troopers,
whether they could see the enemy or
not. that caused the Spaniards to re-
treat so soon.
Gen. Young spoke in the highest
terms of the conduct of the men in his
command and both Col. Wood and
Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt were extremely
gratified at the work done by the rough
riders on the occasion of their being
first under fire.
When it became evident the Span
iards were giving up the fight. search
ing parties went through the thicket
and tall grass picking up the wounded.
The latter were carried to the field hos
pital. half mile to the rear. and all
possible attention was given them,
while preparation was made to remove
them to Juragua.
SPANISH DEAD.
Twelve dead Spaniards were found In
the bush. but the Americans made no
special efforts to ascertain the enemy s
loss. 1t is believed, however, that the
bodies found represented only small
proportion of the dead, and a conserva-
tive estimate is that at least fifty Span
iards fell in the fight.
The SUN was blazing down on the
field all the time the fighting was in
progress. and many Of the troops were
overcome by heat and lack of water.
A spring was found near by, later, from
which the soldiers canteens were filled.
ReinfOrcements were ordered forward
from Juragua, but the march was a
long one. and they did not arrive until
the fight was over.
1t was necessary to send large sup
ply of provisions to the soldiers from
the base OF supplies at Juragua, and
the only means of doing this was by
pack trains, which were necessarily
slow. 1t is believed the troops are free
from attack where they are, and the
Spaniards will not attempt to repeat
the plan they adopted today of block

the seacoast, and either capture them
or drive them from the island.
