1T shows that out of the 200, 600
soldiers sent by Spain to put down
the insurrection in the island from
the beginning of February, 1895, to
the beginning of December of the
year just terminated, not more
than $4,000 "a little over one
fourth are at this moment fit for
active service. The $4,000 are
either dead or sent back to the
motherland i'll or wounded. The
causes of this unprecedented death
rate and sick list are (besides
casualties in action mainly three:
(1) the appropriateness of the
clothing furnished to the European
troops; (2) fatigue; and (3) lack
of food. The report, which does
not apparently err OF the score of
reticence, paints a lurid picture
of military service in the chief
Spanish colony. Under successive
generels the three years campaign,
in spite of numberless royalist
victories" leaves Cuba as pre-
carious d Spanish possession as
ever; while a whole generation
must intervene before island and
motherland alike can recover from
the loss of blood, property and
treasures.--ScientiGc American.
