When All the Generals Died

HERE is an account of the battle of Puerto Plata
AZ January 8, +, the most important engagement,
really the crisis. of the whole revolution affecting the
political welfare of a nation of a million people.
General Jesus Maria CeSpedes, the CaccreS leader
and the victor, had barely three hundred men,
lone division commanded by General Vanegas''
while General DemetriO Rodriguez, the Morales
partizan had three hundred, and about one hundred
and boys picked up along the road the
Morales followers marched from Maimon to Puerto
Plata He was assisted in the arduOus duties of COM
manding this vast army by Generals Mimi, Abrero,
and VanderhOSS. The number of colonies would
sound like eXaggeratOn. The official report speaks
eloquently of the artillery in the battle. This
consisted of one Anticipated rapid-fire gun hauled
out of the fort into Gale Separation and used to
clear the street until 1T damned the hands OF its
ignorant gunner
All the generals were killed except the hero
Cespedes; but there not much other damage
done that the town sailed with bullets and
even TODAY when some merchant asks for last
DEFENDERS etter-fie he is likely to find a steel
jaCketed missile in the middle pages. At least
every four privates had officer to keep them from
running away shooting with their eyes shut and
to make up for the lost brigade and division
manderS several new generals breVeted
the spot The fighting lasted as long as at Gettvs-
burg and the result as significant to Santo
Domingo propOrtionately but anyone of the classes
that participate the annual rush at Prince
ton could have chased the entire outfit into the hills.
before partcularlZ1ng some of the pyTOteCh-
nc histories OF various of the little Republics, it
may be well to give some general figures Taking
a sample eight OF the twenty countries that have
or have had an independent existence begun on the
average between 1915 and 1875, when Spain lost
her hold on the mass of her colonial possessions,
it found that Peru, Haiti Brazil SantO Domingo.
Uruguay, Venezuela, Paraguay Ecuador, and
Colombia have had total of seven hundred and
tWenty-seven years of national life with an aggre-
seventy -nIne, of which amazing total two
Emperors, three were Kings, and nine were acknOwl

troubled. The of wealth, education or proni-
nence who become naturally the leaders are grounded
on landed estates.
Mining and agriculture are the great industries and
the latter always has been by far the most impor-
tant. The red white, and half breed natives labor
on the plantations owned by these men who have
time to dabble in politics in the mines, which
are mostly controlled by foreign capital. When
hdCiendado planter casts in his lot with the rev.
olutionists he marshals these from his planta-
lions, and speedily has army at agricultural labor
ers wages with long credit. That is why raising
army is easy: merely enlist enough planters to
serve generals in the revolution, and cabinet
ministers, governors of provinces, etc, after the
is over, and the trick is done.
Here is where the comedy ceases and the tragedy
begins. The rank and file of the army are made
up OF who have rule little idea of the cause
for which they tramp and starve in the mountains.
They struggle through thickets and swamps only
to face an impersonal enemy merely because their
master has hidden them do so. Often the ablest
men physically are left behind the plantations,
and the old and boys are enlisted. | have
seen thin, wistful-faced lads of fourteen and fifteen
staggering along frigltful marches under the
weight of heavy d-fashiOned rifles, sick from ex-
posure and weak from lack of food while the
clothing they wore only handful of tattered
cotton rags.

that were just stable forty years ago continue
to bubble in disorder like SO many volcanoes Of
intermittent periods of activity.

extensively the doctrine of blood-letting for all
diseases, and with its decadence they to have
passed the method to colonial political until

The truly laughable aspect of the situation is not

century ago reoccurs every year; We see just such
dispatches in the newspapers and greatly i'm
pressed-when the truth is that the whole affair has
been about the size of a good riot at Coney Island
in ITS heyday.
For example consider one of the four revolutions
of the past twelve months the overthrowing of
President Morales of Santo Domingo and the estab-
1ishment of President Caceres, an affair which
followed closely by eve~v informed person in the
United States and viewed with much concern be-
cause of peculiar diplomatic protectoral rea-
tons with the Morales Government under the now
famous JH0dtS 1i5eudi.

iron hand for a total of one hun

average presidential constitu-
tional term being five years
in all the States, bit of division
shows that one hundred and
hfty-five Presidents who became
such by election or force of

over three years each.
This makes no account of the

MEXICO Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, and
AA Argentine seem to have almost emerged from the
state OF instability in government which was once
their In of them is the danger entirely
passed. This very year revolution was started in
Uruguay that If it had been given twentv-four hours
more time would have been serious. When Porfirio
Diaz dies Mexico will waiver in the straight path
and the most patriotic of her citizens constantly
on guard; for " Don Poririo is seventy-six," they
tell each other daily Outside influences combined
with superior agricultural and climatic conditions
responsible for the betterment in the countries
named. American capital has made Mexico and
it was American silver dollars that gave her her
great president
The man to whom they belonged died after an
extremely useful and eventful life, last October in
Hamburg, while on important mission for an
American military concern and thousands of his
friends have not even heard of his end. He was
Colonel Julius G. Tucker formerly of Stuarts
Cavalry, the youngest Confederate Colonel, later
United States Commissioner the Rio Grande,
and later American Consul General at Martinique
While in his twenty troubled years of service the
frontier at Brownsville, Texas, day ragged,
dusty, dirty, and almost exhausted made
his way to the ranch and asked for shelter and
food. He said that he had fed hundreds of miles
through the wild country the border followed
by soldiers who had defeated his little revolutionary
band. He had not dollar For months Tucker
sheltered him, and then with mule-oadS of fuckers
money he set out for New Orleans, bought arms,
organized expedition, and few months later
marched into the city of Mexico the patriot
queror of his countryS foes General Porfrio DiaZ.

Prominent Harvard men who are in
touch with the athletic and foot ball situa-
ton at Cambridge appear to be convinced
that the changes ordered by the national
foot ball rules committee are sufficiently
drastic TO satisfy the authorities of the
Crimson, and that Harvard ought to re-
ceive permission to proceed with the sched-
ule for next years games within short
time. The rule changes, they say, are
very radical on the score of brutality and
rough play. and II they DO not prevent
such practices they certainly punish them
so severely as to make it almost impossible
to continue them. Under these conditions
neither Harvard nor any other college,
lHey leel, can nave reasonable OD1ectlon
One prominent foot ball expert in estimat-
ing the effect of the present conditions upon
thee game. said;
1t will be necessary to increase the num-
Der of downs with the number of yards to
be gained under these rules. This is an
advisable engagement anyway, as II will
remove one very objectionable feature Of
the old arrangement OF FIVE yards in three
downs, towit: That in case of the failure
to gain on any one down places a tremen-
dous handicap on team on the other two
downs, which is, 1 think, undesirable. 1t
would be much better to give three on
portunities TO recover lost ground, even
though greater average distance must
be gained on each of the four tries than
to retain present conditions
Then there is one other suggestion on
this line that l would favor. 1t seems to
me fairer to provide that after failing to
gain a given distance in a given number of
tries a team should be allowed to kick the
ball. 1t is an awful penalty to lose the
ball. which means a loss of thirty-five
yards at least for failing to make the re-
quired distance, by say. a couple of inches,
as often happens. Is 1t not better in case
team fails to gain the distance to then
compel it to kick? That is handicap
enough, inasmuch as the other team can
be fully prepared for the kick and saa
handle IL to the best advantage.
For my part, / would favor "a ten-yard
rule, with four downs, In which &c gain
the distance and in event of failure to
gain the requirement, a compulsory kick.
