STRATEGY
British Tactics Show Ne
Improvement.
AMERICAN ARMY CRITIQUE
EngIand's Generals Following in South
Africa the Plans That Sue
ceeded at Waterloo.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan. Dec. 90
The few regular army officers stationed
at Fort LeavenwOrth are manifesting a
deep interest in the campaign in South
Africa and they are commenting rath-
.er strongly on the way the Beers are
outgeneraling the British officers. A
first lieutenant of cavalry said today:
British officers show a lack of prog
ress in their tactics. One fault may
be due to the fact that within the last
100 years, with possible exception Of
the Crimean war, the English opera
tiOns have been confined entirely 70
those against savage or partially civ
ilized peoples, where close order for
nations were of necessity almost
wholly used.
''The fact that in the last three prin-
cipal engagements the English received
the first fire in column or quarter coll
umn formation fully demonstrates the
fact that a close formation was used.
There seems TO be a lamentable neg
lect in the use of the cavalry screen.
Never do they throw out scouts well
in front TO protect an advancing col
umn. 1t is strange to think that a coll
umn would be advancing without feel
ers In front and without having a good
idea of the territory before them.
"The British seem to be following
the same tactics they used at Water
loo, hoping to open the battles in one,
two. three order, first by a play with
artillery, then an infantry advance,
and finally by gallant cavalry charge.
This method no longer holds good with
increased range and the fiat trajectory
of modern small arms. \ general
fights battle as he finds it. He must
know the country he is going TO fight
on, and more than all this, he must
look on cavalry more as mounted in
fanJry. The British cavalryman off
his horse is like a duck out of water
The Beers realize this fact and with
superior craftsmanship and extended
formation have aimed rather at the
horses at first, leaving the dismOunted
men to be picked off at their leisure.
This was exemplified in the engage
ment at Tugela river recently, when,
according TO Buffers report, a British
officer with three teams of six horses
each undertook to rescue some of the
endangered guns. Out Of eighteen
horses, thirteen were killed. while only
one driver was wounded. What is de-
manded in modern warfare is a close
knowledge of the topography of the
field operations and the use of cavalry
and scouts. In my opinion, were
American soldiers in place of the Brit
ish the country would be well secuted.
I'm an open country such as South
Africa presents, deployment would be
made beyond the reach of artillery
IRE. There would be no marching
within 200 yards of the enemy's
trenches in close order columns. The
Beers realize the faulty tactics of the
British and are taking every' advan-
tage of It,"

Mabini, formerly a member OF the Fill

finally caught one within its Jaws.

Meanwhile two men tanners entered
the cage and took away the uncon-

The South Won't Have
Them There.
A VIGOROUS PROTEST
Louisiana Strongly Stirred by Vessels
Suspected Of Carrying the
BubOniC Plague,

NEW ORLEANS. La, Dec. 25.-The
question of coffee-laden ships from the
infected ports of Santos seems destined
to stir up the entire South, even as It
has stirred up New York. DR.. Blunt.
the health officer of Texas, has already
decided that no vessels from Santos
can touch at Galveston.
The Louisiana State Board of
Health is already on record as holding
that there is no way to prevent the
landing Of the Willowdene at this port
and the discharge of her cargo here
after the proper period of detention has
been passed at the quarantine station
and the disinfection and fumigation OF
her cargo has been effected according
to the laws of this State.
The New Orleans Cotton Exchange
has adopted resolutions protesting
against the landing of the Willowdene
under any circumstances. The Board
of Trade has indorsed the stand os the
Board of Health.
Some people hold that the City Board
of Health. irrespective of the State
Board, can prevent the Willowdene
from proceeding up the river. Today
the State of Mississippi not only got
into the game, so far as the Willow
dene is concerned, but came to the
FROM with trou0lss OF her own, when
DR.. Hunter, secretary of the Mississip-
.pi Board of Health, and DR.. Bolton,
the health officer of Harrison county
met in New Orleans and forwarded the
following telegram 10 Surgeon General
Wyman:
"Barkentine J. w. Jane. from San
tos. will arrive at the gulf quarantine
station in a few hours. Mississippi
Board of Health requests that you inn
mediately order her to Dry Tortugas
for disinfection and fumigatiOn.
Health officer of Harrison county and
the Mayor and Council OF the City of
Biloxi join in this request. In case
Louisiana State Board OF Health re-
fuses to comply with treasury regula-
tions regarding Willowdene, due to
arrive at Mississippi river quarantine
station Sunday, We request that she
be also sent to Dry Tortugas for treat
ment.'

Rat Charmed by Singing.

DUNDEE, n. Y, Dec. 15.-Miss Lulu
Frazier was singing while she attended
to her household duties in the kitchen
this morning. When she turned to-
ward the stove she saw a large gray
rat sitting on it's launches and eyeing
her intently. She was startled. She
stopped singing. The rat dropped 70
its feet and started 10 run away. Miss
Frazier gained her self-pOssession and
again began singing. The rat pricked
up its ears. stopped and sat upon its
launches. This procedure was repeat
ed two or three times. The rat showed
that II was most pleased with rag
time" pieces, and when two or three Of
the newest pieces were sung the ami
NAL showed a desire to dance. After
Miss Frazier had entertained the rat
for about ten minutes she fractured its
skull with a broOmstick.

CUBAN REGIMENTS.
American Troops to be Relieved to
Go TO Manila.

TO 10 MANIA.
WASHINGTON. D. G.. Dec. 2G-
Several regiments will be recruited in
Cuba from among the natives to re-
lieve our troops so that they may be
sent to the Philippines TO replace re-
turning soldiers. The Cubans have
been found anxiOds to enlist in our
service, and are believed to be capable
of performing military service in a
proper manner. a number of applica-
tiOns have been received at the War
Department from officers of the army
for appointments in these regiments,
and it is probable that the colonels
will be selected from captains of the
line who have had some experience in
Cuba and who have an intimate knowl-
edge of the Spanish language. The
junior officers are likely TO be taken
from among our non-cOmmissiOned Of
icers and from civil life. The organi-
Zation of the regiments will be ar
ranged in detail very soon.

WHY NOT RETURN THEM
Practical Suggestion Regarding Chi
nese and japanese.

Mr.. 4. F. Cooke, speaking with refer
ence to the great tack OF the Board Of
Health in providing shelter and food
for the denizens OF Chinatown after
leaving the quarantine detention
camps, has brought out a novel but
thoroughly practical suggestion. He
stated TO an Advertiser representative
yesterday evening:
why not offer free passage home 20
China and Japan TO any Chinese or
Japanese when they are ready 20 leave
the detention camps. The fare for
each one would probably not be over
S2j. which would be a far less amount
than maintaining them In Honolulu AT
Government expense for the next FIVE
or six months. That would leave just
80 much more for those who would re-
main here II this plan could be sug-
gested 20 them before they go into the
detention camp. then put them all into
one special camp. II would be as safe
20 send them back under those condi-
tions as 20 have the steamers bring
people here from plague-ridden coun-
tries such as Japan and China.
If the objection should be raised that
they could not get back here on ac-
count OF the new laws, there would
doubtless be a number Of them who
would not care 20 come back, and that
would relieve the Government 20 quite
aU extent

James F. Blaine, a nephew of James

The exact cause of the trouble is not

the matter, but is said the Count

forced march followed.
The Count later challenged Mr.

OF SPANISH cAPr1vEs.
Uncle Sam to Send Back the 1000
Recently Released.

WASHINGTON, .. c.. Dec. 26.-Un-
der the terms of the treaty of peace
with Spain the United States agreed
to send home all the soldiers OF the
Spanish army held in captivity by the
insurgents in the Philippines. Con-
gress made an appropriation of 81 ,5OO,-
600 TO carry out that purpose.
The recent successful operations of
General Otis resulted I'm the release OF
about 1000 additional Spanish prison
ers, and instructions have been cabled
General Otis to contract with the Ce-
ballos Transportation Company for the
return of these soldiers to Spain. There
is S6JO,000 available for this purpose.

oDoRLEss ExcAvAToRs.
Employees Now Get Double Pay.
Causes of Past Delays Explained.


President Wood OF the Board OF
Health IS authority for the statement
,Iat the new odorless excayators now
under construction will not be taken
into the infected district.
Two Of these machines are being
built and will be in operation within
a few days. The completion OF these
two will place four excavators COM
plete with teams and appurtenances
at the disposal or the Board. II was
intended that several new machines
should be constructed. but the alb
sence OF sufficient piping for them.
forced the Board TO content itself with
two.
The great delay in attending 10 pri-
vate requests for the excavators, was
caused by the Buena Vista Hospital
authorities in monopolizing their at
tention for at least a third of their
time, the eXtravagant use OF water AT
tne hospital necessitating the almost
constant attention OF one OF the
machines.
It is generally understood that Unit
ed States military hospitals are re-
quired TO attend 20 their own sanitary
affairs. and President Wood has ad-
dressed a communication 10 Colonel
I,uhlen, suggesting that he provide an
excavator for the private use OF the u.
5. military.
Two OF the employees Of the exca-
vator cleared out from their work
when they heard OF the second case
from amongst their number. They
were brought back, however. with the
promise Of double pay. and no further
desertion Is anticipated.
