Had Spain an enterprising general, il
would be easy enough to put couple
of brigades abroad these transports
and early some morning land them
anywhere from Pensacola to BEAUFORT,
S. c., especially ifthere were a couple
of warships along to cover the landing
parties. By destroying the telegraphic
lines communication could be cut off
from the world for twenty-four hours,
and in that time ships could be load
ed with provisions, an indemnity
levied and collected, and the brigades
could be back on Cuban soil before
the rest of the United States would
know what had happened.
There seems to be but one man in
the Spanish forces now holding Cuba
who might dare attempt so daring a
dash, and that is General Parade,
whom all we'll informed persons con-
slder the ablest and most enterprising
general Spain has on the island next
to Captain General Blanco. He is
young and has shown marked capa-
city for command and has Captain
General Blanco's confidence to de-
gree not shared by any other general
officer. Were the antagonist France
or England there would be the great
est uneasiness for fear such coup de
main might and probably would be
attempted. Spain has not been given
to dashes of this sort in her almost
constant wars, and yet England cap
tured Havana Just in the manner in
dica;ed and held it as long as she
cared to. 1t is the unexpected that
often happens in war, and the war and
navy departments are now considering
how such stroke can be best guard
ed against.
There is much talk abroad nova
days about the terrors of "the rainy
season" in Cuba. Its dangers are
vastly overrated. Captain Barker has
been in Cuba four years, and he says

General Lee corroborates this and

healthy as any country south of the
Potomac or Ohio. If men will eat
sparingly of tropical fruits, keep out
of The dew as far as possible, let

The war department has very full
confidential reports of the numbers
and efficiency Of the Spanish army in
Cuba. The latest reports date from
December, 1897, and are as follows
There are fitty-six first battalions of
infantry in Cuba, with an effective
force on paper of 1000 men to each
battalion. There are fifty-six second
battalions of I,ooo each, rank and
file. Besides these battalions there
are twelve rifle regiments, each hav-
ing on paper 1900 men. There is
also railway regiment of 1,o4o men
and telegraph battalion of 1,272
men. These two last named regi-
ments have been kept busy in repair
ing and maintaining the railways and
telegraph lines and defending them
from Cuban attacks. Notwithstand-
ing these forces are kept constantly
in the field, the railways and tele-
graphic lines are constantly broken
and communications are everywhere
uncertain aud have been interrupted
within five leagues of Havana.
The rifle regiments in Cuna are
armed with the German pattern of
Mauser rifles. This is a 81 caliber
arm, capable of very rapid fire in the
hands of expert soldiers, but the
Spanish private soldier is the worst
shot in Europe. They have no regu-
lar small arm training IN fire tactics,
and as most of them never saw ary
kind of arm previous to their draft
into the army they are slow at learn
ing the manipulation of the delicate
machinery of the modern small bore
military rifle. The greater portion of
these troops, however, carry the
American Remington rifle of .43 cali
Der, fitted with a bayonet. 1t is an
excellent arm of its kind and was
made at the Remington works, Hon,
N. Y, a quarter of century ago.
General Lee and Captain Walter
B. Barker, consul at Sagua la Grande,
who during the late war was staff
officer of the Confederate general,
Joseph R. Davis, of Mississippi, both
say that, even in the militia days of
the first three months of the late war,
they never saw such absolute ignor-
ance of everything military as is dis
played by these SO called "veteran
troops" of Spain on the island of
Cuba. Though there is, on paper, a
force of 10000 men, the effective is
scarcely one-half this number. The
rank and file is wcefully ignorant that
great difficulty is had to find men
with sufficient education to act as
noncommissioped officers, and as the
efficiency of all armies is greatly affect
ed by the noncommissioned men, ser
geants and corporals no wonder that
of Spain has sunk so low.
There is just a suspicion of uneas:-
ness in Washington that Spain may
make dash at some of the southern
seacoast towns. The great troopships
in which the 10000 men now IN
Cuba were brought here from Spain
are most of them still at Havana and
