BAD GENERALSHIP BLAMED.
HOW ONE AMERICAN OFFICER LOOKS on GEN
ERAL BULLER's LOSS OF GUNS.

HOW ONE AMERICAN OFFICER LOOKS on GEN
ERAL BULLER's LOSS OF GUNS.
The opinion is almost unanimous among the
Army officers at Governors Island that the loss
OF British guns in the recent reverse suffered by
General Butler must he put down to bad general
ship and nothing else One officer said yesterday:
When light artillery goes into action the first
thing that should be done is 10 remove the horses
and the caissons which contain in tho ammunition

his horses Naturally. the Beers picked of The
animals with enthusiasm. That left the artillery
high and dry, and the guns were lost. II was an
lnexcusab!e error. 1T.

the British from the first. They seem 70 pay no
