the trail, sometimes at the slope, and
often slung behind his back, but al
ways in a different position to that of
his neighbor in the ranks. The order
is invariably straggle, and the forna-
ton is more easily guessed at than
identified by one accustomed to 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 attested. in
guerilla warfare his fame is pre-emi-
nent, and amidst the greatest priva-
tons he bears his hard lot cheerfully
and uncomplainingly. Notwithstanding
his shutting 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 Igualada, one of

'On June 16, at a. M, fire was

and lasted one hour and half. The
Americans fired over 1000 projectiles
and temporarily disabled two Gontoria

with earth. The parapet was destroyed
by a shell. One cannon of MORO

COMMITTEE FACTIONS CoMPRO-
MISE THEIR DIFFERENCES.
National Committee Will Keep It's
Hands Off In State Campaigns
Butler viii Not Resign.

Omaha, June 17.-Shortly after {
o'clock this morning the conference Of
the Popuiist national committee adj
journed without date. The final out
come was the practical rout of the
iddle-of-the-road crowd, under the
leadership of Milton Park, although
the liberal wing made some conces-
sions.
The last conference held last night
was on the admission of J. r. Sovereign
as a proxy delegate from Iowa. This
was finally dropped and the committee
got down to work on the main report
of the conference committee. This was
modified in some of its main points
and adopted.
There viii be no convention in 1899,
to outline the policy of the party. In
1900 there viii be an early convention
to nominate q national ticket, the same
to be held prior to the Democratic
convention.
Nc overture looking to fusion will
emanate from the national committee
and none viii be received and enter

is required to keep hands off in state
campaigns; or. if its assistance be in
vited, it may interfere only on behalf
of tie Populist ticket and not to as
sist in fusion.

vention the chairman and 1.-The secre-
tary must make clear the terms as laid

CUBAN HOSPITALS.
The Great Lack of the Insurgents Is
Surgical Care.

Emory W. Fem, who served in the Gu
ban army as major, contributes 20 the
last Century an article entitled Ten
Months With the Cuban Insurgents" Mr.
Fem says:
On account of the tactics employed by
the Cuban forces and the divisions made
in them. together with the fact that small

to attend to the wounded. One Doctor and
IN some eases two, are assigned to an en-
tire division. These doctors appoint as
sisfaDtS from the men in the ranks who
after little instruction, are given a. few
Oa44u&seS, cotton, carDOiic acid, quinne,
ETC.. and assigned to the various regi-
ments in the division. These men are ex-
pected to give the first aid to the wound
ed. and administer such medicines as they
may have when they are required bun
even then it often happens that they are
not present when the men are wounded
and II is necessary to take them many
miles on horseback or in hammocks hung
on a long pole before their wounds are
dressed. Owing to this delay, small
wounds often prove very serious. After
their wounds are attended to. they are
taken, as soon as possible, to one of the
many small hospitals in the woods. where
they are given every attention possible
under the circumstances.
These hospitals are nothing more than
deserted country houses, with beds made
by driving four forked. sticks into the

foot; a heavy stick is then laid in each

general supervision of the doctor, who
visits them as often as possible; and in
some cases. as after heavy engagement
a doctor, or several doctors, are assigned
to them and remain as long as their ser
vices are required. AS soon as new pa
tient arrives, he is placed on new bed.
as the same bed IS never used twice, and
is given an attendant to do his cooking
and attend 10 his wants.
These hospitals are well supplied with
bandages and medicine, and the project
is required to keep them supplied with
sugar, milk, etc. the general
in whose division they are furnishes the
meat, and the country people bring eggs
and any little dainties they may
have. AS the wounds are mostly from
Mauser balls. few amputatiOns are neces-
sary. and the patients recover rapidly; but

and Spaniards are very chummy, enter
