Lack of target practice among the
troops in Cuba, which lessons the eff
cheney Of the army, is to be remedied
Books for preserving the records Of the
various commands and individuals in
small arms practice are being distribut-
ed by the officers Of the Department of
Havana Under the present system Of
training a soldier must first be able to
tell how many steps are necessary in go
ing from 200 to 1000 yards, and he must
be able to Judge with his eye within 8
per cent of the exact distance Of an OBJ
iect within those limits before being per.
mitted to fire ball from his rifle. When
able to do this soldier is then drilled in
firing at what are called lying, kneeling
and standing figures at distances varying
from 200 to 1000 yards. He is trained
in firing not only at moving objects, but
while he himself is walking or running
Company volley firing is also a part OF
the drill.
United States Treasurer Roberts, in his
official compilations, will not make sep
arate account of the new gold certificates
issued under the recent order Of Secre
tary Gage, but will simply add new is
sues to the amount Of certificates previ-
ously outstanding. The total gold certif-
Gates outstanding July 81, which is the
last official statement given to the public
by the department, was $34, Pol 500. The
count of new certificates will therefore
be from that as a base line. According
to the report referred to this $34 600 600
in gold certificates includes 81 ,476,S6O in
denominations Of $40, $2,533.2 $50 in de-
nominations of $50, So, Ala, 300 in denom-
nations Of 500, S3,277,5 500 in denomina-
tons of $500, $5,361 900 in denomina-
tons Of 1000, $4,77OO0O in denomina
lions of $1,000 and SIC, 900 in denom-
nations of $4,000. Treasurer Roberts
reports that the banks are not making as
heavy demands as was anticipated for
ito order" certificates of $1,000 and $1O,-
600, but he supposes this is because they
do not care to be in the early rush.
