Cnmped on the Battlefield.
The troops. after camping for the night
on the battlefield, started ats this MORN

a strong resistance would be made. Anti
polo is place far up in the mountains
which the Spaniards had said the Ameri-
cans could never capture. 1t has cost
Spain the lives of 800 troops.
The progress of the column was con-
siderably delayed while passing up the
steep mountain grade by small band of
insurgents; but these were effectually rout-
ed by the Fourth cavalry. which was in
advance, and the troops reached Antipolo
in a few hours.
Our lines were immediately thrown
around on three sides of the town and then
the final advance was made. But it was
found unnecessary to fire a shot. Not a
rebel was visible, and the town was en-

The visit paid to MatanZas by Generals
Chaffee and Carpenter is causing a good
deal of comment, coming Immediately after
the conference of the provincial governors
with General Brooke. Although 1t Is gen.
orally understood that the conference was
harmonious, still it is believed that the
governor general left several matters to
a majority which are not yet settled; ard
the probability is that the present visit has
some connection with the open questions.
All who attended the conference MAIN
tain a strict retCence regarding what was
said and done: but the interchange of views
has undoubtedly conduced to fusion and
federation although the governors of the
tions exist in different provinces.
The personal interviews General Brooke
has had with the governors have brought
him into closer touch with them; and he
now understands better the needs of Puerto
Principe Sld Santiago: while the governors
of those provinces have a better appre-
citation of the aims and unselfish motives

the Cubans desire the independence of the

pledged to 1t and the Cubans because of
patriotic and political considerations. Be
tween the two stands the Washington ad-
mihiStration, representing the important
business interests involved. There is no
doubt that the beauty and rich possibili-
ties of Cuba have aroused in many of our
visitors greed which is responsible for
the attempt to create the notion that the
country Is warlike, whereas the fact is
that the Cubans are so dOcle that even
the desperation of hunger will not lead
them into wrongful action.
The offer of charity affronts the dignity
of our people; and the gratuity of g. 800 OGN

In practice here the Cubans see just

long article by an old Prussian officer
about the English officers. who. as the
writer says, i'm spite OF their great per
sonal bravery, were almost the whole
cause Of the defeat in the Transvaal

officers have great personal courage ant
bravery, but that just these qualities
so excellent in themselves. account for
the incapacities of the officers. They
