part of the conflict on the British side. Those
two were the bad generalship of incompetent
commanders and the extraordinary courage by

We must discuss it as We discuss the conse-
Quences of eQuipping an army with long range
magazine rifles with lyddite Shells or with
smokeless powder. The proper rating of valor
IN battle is surely as we'll worth looking into as
the worth of these other equipments. l have

regarding the quality after five months of fight
ing on this western side of the continent.
He is a hunter rather than a warrior. His
game is to lie in hiding and kill whatever comes
in front of hiIn-and to run the moment his own
skin is threatened.
AT Belmont and Graspan he discovered that
whereas deer either die away the British
ran at him. Therefore he ceased to hide behind
rocks and took to campaign of surprises, traps
and ambushes. He dug trenches below the sur
face and hid in the grass, concentrating such
numbers that either the first volley or his con-
tinuOus voeys would hold back even the ex-
traordinary valor which disregarded the death Of
many so long as life maintained itself in a few
AT Belmont and GraSpan he surprised and
Jolted out of his lairs by this valor, but with
his accustomed foXlike cunning, he thereafter
counted upon this quality in his foes, and made
it serve his deadly purpose by leading his vic

the mean level of the Gulf of Mexico while the
high water of May, 1897. reads 100. with d

river SO strong as to make il difficult and often
impossible to turn a ship across it, and with a
soil of sand and clay which would affect the sta
bility of a sunken dock, the experts of the Navy
Department found that the cost of sunken
dock would be so enormous. if it were to be con-
structed in such a way to meet all the con-
ditions indicated, that floating dock even at
the highest cost which has been paid for such
a work in the history of civilization, would be.
in the long run, cheaper and more satisfactory.
1t should be added in conclusion that the bid
of the Maryland Steel Company of $4,000 for
the work includes the cost Of shore connections,
towing and insurance, and that it was S4o.Voo
inside the limit of the general specifications
called for by the Naval Bureau of Yards ana
