Sergeant Ainslic flor Fred had been pro-

q foraging party. which, being way laid
by greatly superior number of con-
federates, was obliged, after receiving
a vollcy or two, to beat hasty retreat,
leaving the sergeant and several pri-
Yates, supposedly dead, upon the field.
Fred, however, who happened to fall
close to the thicket where he was
found, had presence Of mind enough to
crawl into its shelter and in the confu-
sion was not noticed by the enemy
thus escaping capture and saving his
uniform. For seventy-two hours he
had lain there without food or drink,
except one ration of biscuit and q sin
gle quart OF water which he had brought
with him, and but for Leslic's oppor-
tune arrival he must have persisted be-
fore the dawn of another day
A single remark made by Fred after
he had told Herbert of the various bat
ties he had been in while the latter was
laid up in New York, will serve to show

Field operations are perfectly practi-
cable during the rainy season if there
is a proper observance Of the ordinary
rules of health. The volunteers need
not hesitate to enlist, for with reason
able precautions there is little danger
Of course, the doctors all agree that in
order to maintain the health of the
troops they must be kept moving. Sick
how healthy the locality. when men are
huddled together by thousands And
go it is intended to keep the troops on
| the move in Cuba so far as possible.
Army surgeons agree that If the troops
can be thus kept changing their camps
| there need be little danger of dIsas-
| trous inroads by disease. A reference
| to statistics shows that in the Napo-
leonic wars the British losses were %
per cent year. the two-thirds of per
cent arising from casualties in battle
and the per cent from sickness and
other causes, while the rate of loss
among officers was much higher than
among the men. In the Franco-Ger-
man war of 1901 the losses were
about per cent of all engaged, and
were divided pretty evenly between
battle and disease.
But in all countries the modern ad-
vancement in sanitary science and its
application has worked wonders in de-
creasing army mortality. A lat army
report in Great Britain shows that even
in expeditions among the most pestifer-
Gus jungles of India and Egypt, and
under the most deadly heat, the de-
crease of mortality has been over Is
per cent, and substantially the same is
armies.
There is ample evidence, then, that
with strict observance of sanitary rules
the mortality in our army in Cuba will
not be above what the average would
be in other situations in the same Iati-
tude, and as for the rainy season it has
been shown to be quite largely a bogy
by trustworthy American residents in
Cuba who did not leave the island for
years at time
The American army, so largely made
up of boys who three weeks ago were
employed in peaceful pursuits, is not
going into Cuba to go into camp or
into trenches to maintain long sieges, |
the liveliest way, And we trust that |
no shoulder strap ambition will be per-
mitted to intervene, but that the boys
will be kept moving right on till VIC
tory shall be theirs, and Old Glory |
shall be seen floating from the para

IT'S RAINING IN CUBA

There is an unQuestioned dread of
disease in Cuba The rainy season. our
dispatches inform us, is now coming
on, and right at the time when the
army at Tampa is ready 70 move. In
war disease numbers its victims more
numerouSly. more rapidly than the
sword. So ii is to be hoped that the
late United States Consul Brice. who
was stationed at Matsnzas, was right
when he<stated in his address to soma
Iowa soldiers, at his home, that there
was nothing to fear from the effects
Of disease in Cuba, provided the proper
sanitary regulations were enforced. 1t
is to be hoped that the danger Of dis
ease has been ovestimated. OF course
the government will take every precau-
uonary means to protect the health OF
the boys who are going TO the front on
the island Of Cuba Consul Brice GER
tainly speaks from experience, and he
has been careful observer IN the
province Of Matansas, where there has
been the greatest suffering among re-
concentrates. According to his testi
mony the physical Ills Of the Cubsns
and spaniArds In the armies result
from deDlorabls sanitary conditions.

WHEN THE WAR IS OVER.

1t is evident that President Mckinley
any unnecessary sacrifice of life in this
war, which, up to the last moment, he
struggled to avert. Nay, it seems to US
that the preservation Of life is the fixed
purpose Of his heart, and that such will
be his policy until the war is ended,
that 1t viii be a war Of ironclads and
protected cruisers on the high seas, so
far as he can make it so, and not one
Of open breasts and naked bayonets.
The second call for troops does not
mean that there are to be moving ar
mics and land carnage, but, on the
other hand, peaceful occupation and
quiet defense. Cuba and the Philippines
and Porto Rico once in our hands can
only be held by overwhelming numbers
without the sacrifice of life. The more
soldiers there are the fewer will be the
deaths in battle. Victory will sooner
come through the captured and dis
mantled fleets Of the enemy than by
overrunning his territories with arm
ed forces. And peace will come quicker
through such victories as was won bv
Dewey than in any other way. What
will happen, after the war shall have
been ended and the terms Of the vic
tory settled, what will be the condition
of the country, morally, financially and
commercially. is question already be-
Ing asked. There will probably be new
territorial acquisitions to care for.
new sources Of revenue and added ex-
penses. But measuring the general re-
suit by that which the country expert
enced after the long, terrific and ex-
haustive war Of the rebellion, it would
seem that there need be no apprehen-
sion. The war Of the rebellion left the
south almost ruined, the north demon
allied and the nation with an over
whelming debt. These things. nor mona
of them can happen in the present con-
nict. The disbanding of the two or
three hundred thousand men who will
be engaged in this war, a few months
hence, will have no appreciate effect
on any single community, nor upon
the nation as whole. AS for anything
else, there viii be an increased volume

demand and expanding enterprise and |
consequent good times. The Nicara- /

of its after effects.

THE WHITE FLAG.

Everybody is growing hourly more
anxious for the inevitable battle which
is to test the strength Of the fortifca-
lions around Havana and the valor OF
the army within them. If Schley has
CeFvera cooped indeed fifty war vessels
will be available for the water side of
the fight, among which are mighty bat
tleships, armored cruisers. steel-clad
gunboats, monitors. torpedo craft and
the like. No naval array in any real
battle of modern times, for number, or
of any time for real destructive force.
ever equalled that of the combined
fleets of Sampson. Schley and Watson,
which will circle in frotn of the black
waters in which the Maine lies a wreck
through Spanish treachery. When forty
or fifty thousand soldiers of the repub-
lie once get behind that doomed city
and the twenty thirteen-inch monsters
begin their awful work of destruction,
seconded by the almost numberless
other savage pieces of but little less
calibre. there will be no safety in flight
for Blancos army and but little chance
for life for those who have been led to
believe that so great and powerfully
fortified a city must be impregnable.
There is only one thing which can stay
the fearful loss of life and the awful
destruction of property which must
follow, and that is the international
emblem Of surrender, the white flag.
The Cuban coast is clear Of hostile
fleets and the decks of our own fleets
having been cleared for action, there
remains only the transportation of the
auxiliary land forces, when the begin |
ming of the end of the war with Spain |
will have been reached, when in the |
fall of Havana, with its fortress in |
ruins and its old-time magnificence in |
ashes, the sinking Of the Maine, not |
only, but the wrongs Of many thousand |
dead and the many
more thousand of starving paciflcos liv-
Ing, will have been avenged.

KANsAssWHEAT PROSPECT.

Kansas is talked Of more for her
hogs, cattle and corn. But Kansas is a
great wheat state, the leading wheat
state, Notwithstanding the prominence
given California, the Dakotas and Min
nesota- Kansas led all of the wheat
growing states last year, harvesting
5l,O26,604 bushels for 1897. But the crop
Of the present season will be greater.
Will be greater by many millions of
bushels, barring an unusual and unex-
pected calamity. Indeed, the acreage
is so great and the crop so uniformly
promising that the chances are for the
biggest wheat yield in the history of
the state, not excepting the year 1892,
when the state measured seventy-four
millions of bushels. And wheat means
money. The indications are for an enor-
nous shortage, as shown by the fig
ures received by the agricultural de-
partment from foreign advices. Even
was the foreign yield an average, the
price would probably hold well up. but
there is no question of the shortage.
