1t is likely enough that, If the military
equipment of the United States had
been a little more evident and ample.
Spain would not have risked the chance
OF hostilities, and would have withdrawn
from Cuba on some plan beneficial to
the Spanish treasury, and not less so in
the end our own. This question of mil
itaIy efficiency is one about which there
should be plain speech as well as clear
thinking. Let us admit that it was neg
ligence and error rather than wisdom
and foresight that had allowed this ma
ton OF ours to attain its vast population
and wealth with an army of only 5000
men, and with preparatiou-as to arms,
and ammunition, and materials Of all
Enthusiastically adequate ever for so
small a force. There were many Span
iards in high positions, and many mill
tary experts throughout Europe, who
strongly believed that SPAN could de
feat us in a quick campaign, on the same
principle hat fifty well armed soldiers
may readily disperse several thousand
unarmed and unwarned citizens. Spain
had 100000 men under arms in Cuba.
while we had hardly more than Il tenth
Of that number. and ours were doing
garrison duty in small detachments all
over the continent. Under these cir
cumstances, Spain could not believe
that we really meant to fight; and still
less did she believe that we could fight
to any advantage OF short notice. For
this very reason the controversy was al.
lowed to drift on until it was too late for
a peaceful solution. Spain would have
understood what we meant, and there
would have been no war, if our army
had been two or three times as large

Mondell's Reservoir Plans.

Representatives Mondell of Wyo-
ming is going to work i'll the right
way to secure appropriation for the
construction of irrigation reservoirs.
He is trying to induce the committee
on rivers and harbors to include an
appropriation of that kind in its bill,
and there is some reason to believe
that he will succeed.
There is practically no hope of Sc
curing special appropriations for the
construction of storage reservoirs in
the arid region. Especially is this
true in respect to the present session
of congress. A bill asking for a sep
crate and distinct appropriation would
encounter opposition at nearly every
step of the way. 1t would draw all
the fire of the opposition, and if not
buried in committee it would very
probably be killed when it came to a
vote.
The committee on rivers and har-
bors might, however, be induced to
include among its appropriations one
for the construction of reservoirs. But
even with that committee there would
be little chance of securing anything
if IA large sum should be asked for.
Modesty in their demands should be
the policy of the advocates of reser-
voir appropriations at this stage of
the undertaking.
An appropriation for storage reser-
voirs may very properly be included
among those of the river and harbor
bill, for it would be Il form of justice
to the arid states chat help to provide
the money with which river and har-
Dor improvements are paid for, and
the impounding of water in the arid
region has some relation to the stage
of navigable rivers. We do not pro-
TESS to believe that the floods in the
Lower Mississippi which come in the
latter part of the winter would be
checked by storing water in the Rocky
mountains, but much of the Missis-
sippi river water could be kept back
III that way, thus preventing over
flows in that stream.
Mr.. Mondell and other advocates of
reservoir appropriations can work on
these lines with some hope of success,
because the argument appeals to the
good judgement as well as to the fair
ness of the public. The first appro-
priations should be for the construc-
ton of reservoirs ON sites already sur
veyed and examined by competent
experts of the government. Future
surveys could then determine where
other reservoirs should be built. Den

J. c. TELLER A
United States Receivers a Verdict of
$27363 and Costs for Stealing Tim
Der From Government Land.

j. c. Teller, the man who has be-
come notorious in Colorado and Wyo-
ming, because of his depredations on
government timber, has again been
made to feel the iron hand of law.
Very recently he was convicted in the
United States District court at Chey-
enne in "A criminal suit and fined
$1,000, but the latest suit against him,
in which the government claimed
damages, and which took place in
Denver, resulted in "a verdict against
him of S27 1868 and costs. This suit
vas the outcome of the seizure of a
large number of ties at Fort Steele.
by Special Agent Abbott. The ties
had been cut from government land
and were being banked at Fort Steele
for delivery to the U. p. railroad.
Mr.. Teller has been a timber dep
redatOr for some time and he has de
pended upon his uncle, Senator Tel
Ter and another uncle, Willard Teller,
a lawyer, to keep him out of the laws
clutches. But justice has at last over
taken him and it has been through
the well directed efforts of Special
Agent Abbot that he met his Water
loo.
Mr.. Abbott has stuck to the cast
faithfully, refusing brides, ignoring
insults and threats of personal vio-
lence. Strong efforts have been made
to have the Department dismiss him,
or send him to another field but all
failed, and he has had the extreme
satisfaction of seeing his course vindi-
Gated by the conviction of Teller.
