WAR MAY BE A LONG ONE.
Predictions of an Officer who Served
Mt Manila.

| New York. March 2S.-Lieutenant Gohn,
of the Fourteenth Infantry regulars, is
stationed at Governors Island. He saw
| service in the Philippines from August to
| November last. Speaking of the battle
now going on outside of Manila, Lieuten-
ant Gohn said yesterday:
| 81 believe that this will be the last
regular battle with the Filipinos. When
/ this campaign is over their military
strength will be over.
But it will be a long time before the
| insurgents are conquered. l think 1t will
| be matter of years, perhaps two or three.
The determined resistance they are
making against our forces is not strange
| to me. Human life is very cheap thing
with the Filipinos. They are absolutely
reckless in exposing themselves and they
go to the slaughter willingly. They will
fight hand-to-hand if forced.
about one-third of Aguinaldos army
| had Mauser rifles when l left A consid-
| cradle portion had single-shot Remingtons.
They were not then very familiar with
| the use of firearms, but they are a peo-
| pie who learn quickly
How they came to acquire such guam
| tity of Mausers is hard to say They cap
| tured some with the Spanish prisoners.
They undoubtedly stole the others.
| But there is no doubt they are getting
assistance from the outside. They have
money and they know how to use it.
Smuggling is going on constantly. We
| stopped good deal of it while / was there,
and once or twice captured some artillery
| consigned to Aguinaldos army.
"They had no artillery when I left, and
doubt that they have any to speak of
| now.
Artillery. however, is not of much serv-
| ice in that country. as the heavy guns can
| not be moved easily. The roads are few
| and practically useless for artillery. All
| around Manila the country is low and
| swampy, and it would be a tough job to
| move artillery through it.
! The Filipinos can build good trenches

do not protect the approaches with barbed

not think they are as good fighters as the
Spaniards.
Many of the men In Aguinaldo's army
are uncivilized. In their own wars some
of these natives still use the poisoned

arrow. That tells how civilized they are.
You can't get anything lower than that.
'Aguinaldo himself is not a military
genius, bat he is a great leader of men.
He is something of marvel in that
respect. He possesses the art of making
great bodies of men do as he wishes with
all their energy.
THE plan of battle of our troops seems
10 be fought on lines carefully drawn in
advance, and they are evidently sticking
to these lines down to the smallest de-
tails. Wheaton's flying brigade, when it
made the detour to the east, then 10 the
north and smashed through the insurgent
lines north Of Polo. succeeded in cutting
Aguinaldo's army in two. 1t would seem
that the present plan is to smash the force
congregated at and about Polo and then
concentrate in the attack upon Malolos.
Polo has naturally strong Notifications.
1t is on high ground. and properly defend
ed could make stiff resistance.
"Malolos is even better fortified and
when that place has been captured the
backbone of the rebellion will be broken.
Aguinaldo has made Malolos his headquar-
ters since last September He withdrew
there from Manila soon after we took that
city.
There is not the smallest doubt that we
will win, and then it will be merely ques-
tion of time to bring the distant natives
under control.

words of Epcurus: why should ] fear death?

If there is beyond the veil, beyond the night

the right, honest man has naught to fear.
And if there be another world in which sincerity

friend whom we have all lost.
But if the grave ends all; if all that was our
friend is dead, the world is better for the life

And yet, because love, hope. Farewell.
And yet, again. Farewell!
And will there some time be another world:
We have our dream. The idea that immortality,
that like a has ebbed and flowed in the hu-
man heart, beating with its countless waves
against the sands and rocks of time and fate,
was not born Of any book or creed. 1t was born
of affection. And it will continue to ebb and

darkness as long as love kisses the lips OF death.

CHAOS IN CUBA UNLESS PA
TRIOTS MEND THEIR
WAYS,
GOMEZ BROOKE QUARREL
Soldiers Claim They Have Been
Fooled and Trapped by the
Americans.

New York, May Is The Herald's
Havana correspondent telegraphs:
The situation here has become
most alarming. To all appearances
the Cubans are about to make armed
manifestations against the United
States and its mode of governing
the island, although the conserva.
tive element still hopes for peaceful
arrangements.
This state of affairs, which was
brought abruptly 10 a head last Sat-
urday by partial quarrel between
Gen. Gomez and Governor General
Brooke, has been forming for the
last two months. The first move
has been made by the army. 1t will
probably be supported by many
Cubans.
The army, which is really repre-
sented-althopgh many dispute his
authority-by Gen. Gomez, is par.
ticularly bitter against General
Brooke and his policy. The soldiers
declare they have been miserably
fooled and trapped by the Ameri-
cans. They look upon the exchange
of gun for SO as an ignominious
transaction for them, as they have
not been defeated by Americans,
and consequently they refuse to ex-
change.
Some persons say the determine
tion of tire army not to surrender
arms IS an outcome of Gen. Brooke )
refusal to sanction Gen Gomez's
scheme for a Cuban militia. At the
Cuban headq quarters the statement
is indignantly denied, in particular
by Gomez, WHO, however, refuses to
discuss the present situation.

GOAL MINERS AT HUNTING
TON STIR UP A WARM
TIME.
POSSE GONE TO the SCENE
Peace Ordered in the Name of
the State Of
Arkansas.

Fort Smith, May 16.- There was
an outbreak among the striking
miners at Huntington last night.
Join Wright, one OF the miners,
was killed, and Mckinney Camp
bell, a guard, received a aiaLcing
bullet in the head and 81 bullet
through the shoulder. The report
is that about thirty miners attack
ed the guard and the working
negroes at mine 50, opening the
engagement by throwing a dyna-
mite bomb into the camp. About
forty shots were fred.
A number of masks were found
on the scene of the battle, also two
dynamite bombs, enough to blow
up the nine, and which were sup
posed to have been brought for that
purpose.
The sheriff was appealed to for
protection, and after consultation
with the governor, Deputy Sheriff
Rector. with twelve good men, went
to Huntington tonight With orders
to protect property at any cost and
take determined, but impartial,
stand to preserve the peace. In the
federal court Judge Rogers senten-
ced for contempt the four strikers
who assaulted non.union u1ao at
Denning. One be pave six months;
the other four months in jail.

The timber for the Alamogordo
Lumber Company is supplied from
the Sacramento mountains, to reach
which they have constructed rail-
road a distance of q miles to reach
the mountains summit. This is
known as the Alamogordo & Sacra-
mento Mountain Railway. 1t is a
remark able feat in railroad construc-
ton, about 81 per cent. OF its mileage
being curvature, g. ort curves being
the rule rather than the exception.
The increase in elevation Is aecomp-
lished by ziz-zag courses, tortuous
turns and twists over rough,
rocky and apparently impossible
country up the Fresnal Canon, the
most available route to the summit
of the range. At one point three
tracks are in sight and parallel each
other within a distance not exceed
ing 1000 feet. The road is wellsbuilt
with 60-pound rails, and while pri-
marily intended to caray huge pine
logs from the mountain forest to the
great saw mill, it is nevertheless a
great scenic railway and will even
tually carry a great number OF sum-
mer visitors every season to the
Sacramento mountains. A trip over
this railroad is a great delight for
one who loves the picturesque in
nature. The scenery is grand,
superb, magnificent. From Scenic
Point a grand view Is obtained of
the mountain side, the tortuous
track which has Just been Travelled,
and the broad but barren plains
below. A singular thing is sand
desert forty miles square In the
plains below and distant forty niles
from the base of the mountain.
From Scenic Point this sand desert
looks like big body OF water, crest
ed with white foam. AS we descend
ed the mountain another train was
ascending. and to watch the latter
as it wendell its wormicalar way to
the top was most interesting and
thrilling sight. For grandeur of
scenery have seen nothing to sur
pass this since my trip lover the
loop" between Georgetown and
Silver Plume Colorado.
The railroad people are building a
large hotel on Sacramento mountain
and making arrang ements for a
summer chateau, to be opened
about June the fist The altitude
of the hotel will be over 5000 feet,
and it will no doubt be a delightful
place TO spend the hot summer
months.
