EFFICIENCY OF THe VOLUNTEERS.
Reflections by Regulars Unwarranted by
the Facts.

From the Philadelphia Record.
In the Judgment Of General Coping
er. who commanded Camp Wheeler at
Huntsville. Ala. the sufferings OF vol
unteer troops In camp were largely due
to the ignorance Of their inexperienced
officers. who did not m how To pro-
cure and care for the r%ations, and Of
the cooks. who did not know
how To cook the provisions furnished by
the government. The difficulty In re-
gard to inadequate clothing supplies IL
attributed by this authority partly to
the appointment Of stan officers from
civil life. and partly to the magnitude
and suddenness OF the war emergency.
II General Coppinger's views be cor
rect. the volunteer military system is
predestined TO practical failure when
ever there shall be an urgent call for
troops for federal service IL would be
extremely difficult. however. to con-
vince the American people that only
regulars can take care OF themselves
In camp and in the field. and that vol
unteer officers are generally ignorant
and incompetent. There is no deep and
inscrutible mystery in the work OF re-
cruiting an army i'm the field. nor can
the citizen soldiery Of the republic be
properly charged with the errors and
d~elinquencies OF their superiors in the
service.
Volunteer officers may be ignorant OF
the best means Of stirring up an inef-
ficient commissary department; but
these officers. most of hon are expe-
rienced I'm the tactical practice of mill
itary science. are non the less the chief
reliance OF the nation when its inter
ests and ono must be defended. The
future battles of the republic will b.
fought and won by volunteers: and the
present duty Of the war office Is to learn
from recent experience how best this
arm of the military service can be rem
dered highly efficient.

News concerning the a~bdication of the
queen regent of Spain. which was given

very half-heartedly denied in the Mad

pressed by the sad situation OF the
country and the Spanish peoples lack

a fortnight ago to her right
and title as regent in favor of the in
fanta Isabella, sister of the late King
Alphonso XII. This princess. who is
Spanish in heart and mind, is much be-
loved throughout the kingdom. The
queen regent thought that by yielding
the regency to her she would disarm the
adversaries of the existing regime ana
rally all the sympathies around the lit
tie king.
She wen formed the resolution of
quitting Spain for a time after her alb
dication with her two daughters, leav-
ing the young sovereign to reign with
the new regent. She summoned Pre-
mier Sagasta and eloquently laid the
plan before him.. A ministerial coun-
Gil was held, after which all the mem
bers visited the queen regent to beg her
TO give UP the scheme for the present.
They told her that under the present
circumstances abdication would seem
like flying, and would be very badly
construed by the country. Premirf
Sagasta was so persuasive that he OBJ
