at the close is not always a certainty even for
the victors, for some years after this we had to
draw our sword against China again, and While
this time we spent Il, 100000, We only demanded
a quarter of that back from the CeleStlalS When
they were properly beaten.
Germany must be the admiration of tnauclers
for the way in which she runs her wars ana the
little pile she makes out OF them. Her famous
war with France in 1870 is what Ministers Of
Finance dream about. This cost her rough
G0OOO0O0 of this for expenses, and the pen
sions which she had to pay afterward to her
disabled soldiers cost her f5,OU0.Oo0. To these
items has to be added one Of f5O,OtDtbU for the
loss sustained by her million soldiers being
taken away from their occupations.
On the other side find France paying up
an indemnity at the finish to the tune OF no
less than 100000 900 and even this huge
amount by means represents the tota! or
Germany's receipts. Alsace and Lorraine, which
she captured from the enemy, are valued at
f64 000, 900; she took general goods home with
her to the value of f1O.O00,oO0, another tl,Oo,-
600 in railway carriages and engines ana she
got $50 600 900 worth of food and clothing for
her army while in France. giving the tTench
tradesmen acquisitions" or receipts, Whlch were
handed the close of the war to ther own
Government, who paid up accordingly. Add 10
all this the III 100000 which Germany received
interest the indemnity before II was all
paid and we get f3l7O0O00O her war re
cepts. Subtracting her loss Of nl3oooooo we
find her with clear profit OF considerably over
f2OO,O00,0o0. Little wonder that France Is sun
sore upon the point 1t was not long before TINS
war with France thGt Germany squeezed an IN
demnity OF Is, $50 900 out Of Austria after only
month of war.
Russia would like a few streaks of luck like
this, for all her experiences have not been so
happy pecuniarily. For instance. there was her
war with Turkey rather more than twenty years

BILLIONS WON IN WAR.
FIGHTING Is NOT ALWAYS EXPENSIVE FOR
THE VICTORS
from Cassen's Saturday Journal.

From Cassells Saturday Journal
There can be but little doubt that war if
WaEed successfully. is one of the finest methods
OF national money making il is possibI TO con-
ceiVe. and this point of view is particularly in
teresting just when hear much about
our enormous expenditure in diSpatchng an
army to South Africa, and the tremendous bill
Of costs being let in for through the
fighting there. OF course, when the campaign
is long and arduOus and the losing side Is in
an Impoverished condition, il is possible that the
Victors at the finish may find the loss bigger
than the profit; but this seldom happen
nowadays. In most wars that have happened
during the last twenty thirty years the VIC
toriOus nations have at the close been able 10
regard their banking accounts with a consldera-
the remark which statesmen make that there
are some things worse than war.
How Americas balance sheet IN connection
with the with Spain will come out exactly
is not yet quite certain. The campaign has
proved considerably more harasSinS and eXpen-
sive than expected, the wretched Filipinos be
ing Of course, responsible. But the war before
this one in which took much interest,
Turkey vs.. Greece, resulted highly satisfactorily
10 the former from a financial point or view.
Japan made exceedingly fine thing out OF
her war with China, which she managed so well
Japan had only 10000 engaged and the
war cost her altogether the comparative trlne
Of tGOUO,OO0. China had to pay her afterWard
the nice little sum OF f37 0OO,UDU. leaving clear

HISTORICAL PAPERS FOUND IN PARIS.

Paris correspondence of The Pail Mall Gazette
Two considerable discoveries of historical
documents have been made almost siGlultane-
ously in two independent departments OF the
State archives. The patient explorers who rum
mage year in and year out among the tons Of
old papers boarded by the Domains Department
have come upon treasure trove To the extent OF
three thousand volumes of classified documents,
dating from the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turtles. 1t was thought that all the documents OF
this age in the care of the Department had been
destroyed by fire during the Commune. The
fact that a matter of three thousand volumes
could lie hid amid the dusty collections Of the
Department ls eloquent testimony TO the
of papers that nave accumulated in rather less
than thirty years. Another eight hundred odd
volumes have been brought 10 light in the
Registration Department All these documents
have still to be examined in detail. but first
glance at them has been sufficient Ia show
that many of them of great historical in
tereSt, particularly in connection with the
topography of old Paris and with the history
of many of the famous buildings of the capt
tai. The choicest find that has been made

some of the Americans may tumble in Oh these
wicked points in the dark A great number of
trenches thus fitted have been located in the
eneIny's country, and, Of course. set fire to
at once, to destroy the wood points and
the poison. The writer has never heard of an
American soldier falling on these poisoned tips,
but has seen some natives stark in death upon
them. Another trick the natives have is shown
in Figure 3, in which the trench is lightly
covered with bamboo sticks and some stones or
earth thrown over so as to conceal the spot.
The natives suppose that Americans will not
notice the new Garth etc, and will step the
fran top and fall through upon the points be-
low. The bamboo cover is marked E and the
points 9. Sometimes they run water into these
places and put poisonous reptiles inside. They
work OUT all sorts OF extremely ingenious
schemes of this description, and to the wonder

the Powers drew the line at the territory. AS

SUBSTANTIAL BARRIcADE WORK.

The insurgents also competent builders
Of barricades ana in every section Of the coun-
Try formerly occupied by them are numerous
barricades made usually by using bamboo pieces
joined at the top and the space between filed
in with earth. Pieces of split bamboo are ar
ranged parallel with the barricade, Sc as to
assist in holding in the earth
After this arrangement is well packed with
earth the barrjcade gets harder and stronger in
course of time in a few months the vegeta-
ion sprouts in the earth and the roots entwine
and solidify the structure. Some Of these barri-
cades made at the beginning of the trouble with
the American troops are still in as good form as
when first made. The barricade will always
stop bullets effectually, and fire from some of
the heavy pieces will not materially affect it.
The natives also large numbers of casta-
way sugar bags filled with sand and earth for
building baTTicades This kind of barricaGe is
freely distributed throughout the fighting sec
tions Of the islands, and one sees them every
where The sandbag is handy article for any
army to have, for if a lot of the bags are kept
filed in a convenient place barricade be
quickly erected.
New-York tribune., 1900-03-25
TO TRIP UP THE SOLDIERS.

The rebels devise all manner of schemes for
making the approaches to their Notifications
impregnable. The Spanish used barbed wire in
Cuba, but barbed wire would be a novelty here,
and the natives adopt the next thing to IT, which
is split bamboo. They entwine this material
in grass, across streams, in sWampS, in front of
trenches and barricades. The Americans trip
these ingenious traps and fall fun length,
throwing their rifles straight out ahead Usu-
ally the soldier is up again in a moment and
presses on but sometimes the wicked natives ar
range cut bamboo points etc, IN front Of the
traps, so that the soldier falls upon these places
and is severely cut.
A troublesome piece of ground 10 get over is
that which is provided with round tops SO
called The rebels form the earth into series of
ridges, and the top of each ridge they place
long half pieces of bamboo. The only footing
that a soldier can get is on the smooth surface
Of the bamboo and he usually slips and falls.
If the bamboo is moist IT Is impossible to get a
firm footing, and many soldiers fall and hurt
themselves, while many get sprained ankles
The insurgents are constantly working out
devilish ideas Of this sort. some OF which are
destructive while others are harmless.
