Beacon Fires In China.

In China such beacon fires as spread the
alarm of the Spanish armada through
England still call to war. Some years ago,
tho story goes, the emperor sat with a
beautiful woman, looking toward the
beacon hills. She would like to see those
waiting piles lighted, and upon her insist
ence the thing was done. The greatest ex-
element prevailed throughout the prov
inces, and troops came hurrying in from
all sides.
When the leaders learned that no danger
menaced, that the fires were lighted to
satisfy the within Of a woman, their wrath
fed on their lost confidence, and with the
actual call to arms tho response was slow
and unenthusastic. 1t was repetition
of the old story in Webster's spelling book.

sible if they choose to follow the rules.
In an aggressive movement the non
commissioned officers leading the sec
tons and squads are the most exposed !;
next, the second lieutenant, who directs
the firing line from behind the men !;
third, the captain, who stays with the
supporting line, and, fourth, the first
lieutenant, in charge of the reserve.
Commissioned officers may and do break
the rule to inspire their men, and at
Santiago did this in order to get the
line forward through the entangle-
ments. Seeing an opening or path, they
dashed for it as pilots for those who
were trying to keep line and at the
same time pick roadway. 1t was a
field and a contest to call for action
without regard to rule, and the officers
were equal to it in brains and courage.

PERCENTAGE IN KENr's DIVISION.

The four regiments standing highest
on the list of percentages were IN the
brigades of Hawkins and Wikoff, which
charged directly upon Fort San Juan.
The Sixth had the right of the col
umn, then came the Sixteenth. The
Thirteenth touched elbows with the
Sixteenth, and the Twenty fourth (col-
ored) was on the left of that The
Ninth was to the left of the Twenty
fourth and did not face the fort direct
The Twenty first, from Parsons bri-
gade, Joined Hawkins to take the place
of the Seventy first, but reached the
scene too late to get up with the front
line. The Second and Tenth charged
the ridge we'll to the left of the block
house and advanced nearest to the
Spanish second line.
Comparison of the cavalry and in
fantry tables shows that the point Of
greatest execution by the Spaniards
was the blockhouse. The cavalry
charged the ridge to the right of it and
the Tenth Second and Ninth infantry
the ridge to the left of it. The front
line in the attack upon that work con
sisted of the Sixth, Thirteenth, Six
tecnth and Twenty-fourth. The Sixth
and Sixteenth led off in the first demon
STATIONS of the day against the main
Spanish stronghold, and they got their
wounds from the very Spaniards they
were after all the time.
! In the percentage among officers
! there is much the same story to tell ex-
/ cept that the Tenth cavalry met with
an exceptional loss in this respect. Ont
Of % officers in action II were shot
down, a percentage of 80. The casual
ties among officers in the Ninth cav
airy were 3315 per cent, in the Third

riders "a and in the First regulars 8
