MORE APPOINTMENTS.
Generals Bates and Sanger To Command
Departments in Cuba.

Washington, Dec. 24-Maj. Gen.
John c. Bates, U. S. ", who is now
in this city, has been ordered to as
sumo command of the new military
department at Cienfuegos, Cuba, jan
uary /, when the United States will
take formal possession of the island.
Gen. Bates has recently been in com
mand of the first division of the First
army corps with headquarters at Ma
con, Ga.
Brig. Gen. Joseph p. Sanger of the
inspector generals department has
been temporarily assigned to the com
mand of the military department of
Matanzas, Cuba. These two assign
ments complete the detail of officers
to command the various military de-
partments in Cuba, under the supreme
command of Maj. Gen. Brooke, who
is now on his way to Havana to su-

regiment, the change has been made in
the number of enlisted men in a COM
pany from loo to las. The object of the
Increase is to provide for an adequate
force at the very lowest cost to the gov
ernm6nt. 1t has not been the object of
the committee to sacrifice efficiency for
economy but, taking the number of
men necessary to carry out the purpose
of the government, we believe that an
organization on the basis of 145 which
would give us but 112 privates, is more
efficient i'll actual service than one of u
prtvates as proposed in the Senate bill.
The largely increased number of regi-
ments which would be made necessary
by the reduced number of privates
would entail an increased expense each
year on the government for officers, and
would materially impair the effective
ness of companies and regiments on the
line of battle. General Sherman. in his
report to the war department in 1876
after full study of the armies of
Europe and after he had seen their OPP
Grafton on the field Of battle, recon-
mended a company of $50 enlisted men
in time of war and further stated that
we could count on one third of the men
being absent from duty in an army
serving in the field.
General Schwann said that after 81
ears service as line OIllCef he re-
garded las men to a company as the
best organization.
General Miles, in his testimony before
the committee, recommended 100 enlist
ed men.
The organization provided for in this
bill gives as "a maximum a smaller regi-
ment than is a minimum of the lead
ing nations. The committee inserted a
new section in regard to the record and
pension office, believing that the present
chief of that office has by his wonder
fully efficient services made it only
proper for him to have the rank of
brigadier general His administration
of the office has resulted in a saving to
the government of over 100000 a year
in clerk hire alone.

\ DIFFERENCE IN CHARACTER.

The internal disturbances In Spain In
me race OF common and aggressive en-
envy, who Is threatening all the remaining
colonial possessions OF the kingdom, is a
sad but sufficient comment on the Span
tsh character and the prevailing ignorance
of the Spanish masses.
And yot these exhibitions are but the
usual ones In times of disaster in the
countries peopled by the Latin race Tho
French turn upon their own government
whenever they suffer defeat by an outside
enemy The hot and impulsiye Latin blood
can not forogo wreaking vengeance upon
some scapegoat, after 1t has been humill-
ated by foreign foe Roverses, too
quickly destroy the spirit OF such people
The British and American race Is di-
rectly the opposite. II grows greater un-
der misfortune and is never SO dangerous
as when apparently defeated. officials
may DO criticized and leaders followed With
misgivngs, but the ranks close up and
the determination TO win Is only the great
er, a defeat at this time, of our fleet
or army, or a combination against us by
other nations. would only nerve our people
to supcrhuman exertlons. Then the world
would see what our resources were. When
we take our course we follow 1t: when we
are enlisted under certain leaders we stand
by them, through evil and good report,
