When long-range rifles came into
common use, and before they We're
tried in actual battle, theorists said
that they marked the end of the era
of hand hand fighting; that oppos-
ing forces could never get within
what used to be musket range of each
other, because the long-reaching, rapid
firing guns would NOW them down
more rapidly than they could advance.
The American troops in the fighting
about Santiago tested that theory and
proved it false. Read the account of
the taking of San Juan-a desperate
charge up steep hill, crowned with a
block house, from which cannon poured
shrapnel on the heads of the troops.
while thousands of Spaniards, lying in
rifle pits, where they We're safe from
all but stray bullets, and where the
powder they used did not leave even
puff of smoke to show there where
abouts, sent a continuous sheet of bull
tets from lnelr MduSer rifles INTO the
faces of the Americans who We're pain
fully climbing the hill. Had the
theorists been right, there would have
been a windrow of dead Americans
along the bottom of that hill and an
army Of victorious Spaniards on its
top; hut despite the long range, the
rapid fire, the smokeless powder and
the strong defences, the Americans
went on, captured the hill and sent it's
defenders flying away to their support.

Before Santiago.

Nearly a week has passed since the
desperate series of assaults and
charges by which General Shafter and
his gallant army captured the ap-
and drove the enemy from all sides
back into the city itself. The truce
which has existed since our demand
for the surrender of the city has been
well employed. We have buried our
dead and cared for our wounded, i'm
proved our lines and gathered strength.
Thousands of reinforcements are being
hurried to Santiago, fully $1,000 men
now being en- route. We command the
situation The city now lies at our
mercy, and General Shafter can we'll
afford to wait before making his next
move. The Spaniards persist in refus-
ing to surrender, and many thousand
people, innocent victims of cruel war.
deadly bombardment that must soon
come unless the city yields. The Span
ish. loss in killed, wounded and cap
tured amounts to several thousand, be-
ing much heavier than the American
casualties, and the fleet which was the
main defense of the city has been
wiped out of existence in it's mad at
tempt to reach the open sea. A few
thousand Spanish reinforcements have
arrived. all that can possibly come, but
the Americans had much rather have
them in the city than at large outside
of it.
There is no reason for impatience at
what may seem like delay at Santiago.
Those at the front are the best judges
of what is possible and best. The nee
essary sacrifice of brave lives has been
great; it should not be made greater
unless greater sacrifice is also neces-
sary. Spain cannot send men, ships.
money, provisions or ammunition to
Santiago or any part of Cuba. Delay
makes it all the more difficult for the
Spanish forces to maintain themselves
and it strengthens our position. De-
lay is not spectacular but it is often
potent part in winning great vic
tories. Our army was sent to Santiago
to assist the navy in capturing or de-
stroying Cervera's fleet This part Of
the work has been done, but it would
not do now to stop there and with
draw from that part of Cuba, with
Santiago uncaptured and a Spanish
army in existence there. There is no
occasion for alarm at the situation of
our army. 1t is all right and all ready
for whatever emergency may arise.
Men. guns and supplies are being
rushed there to make the capture OF
| the Spaniards more certain, and the
condition of our troops, .Y.are eom-
| Portable. The health of thes army is
good The wounded and the prisoners
! are being sent North. The end of

very near, and glorious news may come

A Thfeyfno Horse.

AS a country doctor, the horse is, of
course, my constant companion, and
have been carried by him on my yisi-
tations many thousand miles, yet /
had no special love for the animal, nor
yet any high appreciation Of his intelli-
gence, until short time ago, when
something happened which changed my
views. On going out one morning to
look after Major, found that l had
accidentally left the chain down be-
hind him. This circumstance he had
taken advantage of, and had spent n
portion of the night in wandering about
the barn, upsetting everything that
could be broken. Now, however, he
was In his stall, and looked around at
me with his great brown eyes, a pic
ture of innocence and contentment,
while under him, carefully spread out,
was a fur robe, the fur side up, and
the cushion Of my sleigh. These he
must have carried to his stall during
the night, thinking, perhaps, that for
Christmas night, as it happened to be,
straw was not good enough. and that
for once, at least, he would make his
own bed of the best material he could
find.
