 NOW, as to the discipline in the Amer lcan army, I cannot speak at present TOT the war is yet too young. It may, however, be worth noting that in this particular regiment, while most com piete liberty was allowed the men all the twelve days of the rail journey from san Francisco to Tampa, not single case of drunkenness any other breach of discipline was reported. Among the loo men on this boat there has not in the past seven days been single case of sickness of any kind or any occasion for punishing. The firing discipline during the three times we have been under fire has been excellent; the obedience of soldiers to their officers has been as prompt and intelligent as anything I nave seen in Europe: and as to coolness under fire and accuracy of aim, what I nave seen is most satisfactory. The men evidently regard their officers as soldiers of equal courage and superior techni- cal knowledge. To the Yankee private
 West Pointer means what a soldier of Prussia is conveyed by noble rank. In my intimate intercourse with officers and men aboard this ship cannot recall an instance of an officer addressing private otherwise than is usual when gentleman issues an order I have never heard an officer or non commissioned officer curse a man. Du-- ing the engagement of Cabanas the or ders were issued as quietly as at any other time, and the men went about their work as steadily as blue jackets on a man-o'-war
