Before the first season Of enthusiasm

ended before the ranks were full. July
was not out before the American troops
had their will in Cuba and Porto Rico,
and Spain had proposed terms of peace.
By the middle OF August Manila, in the
far Philippines. had been taken: no
Spanish force anywhere resisted the arms
of the United States; only the full
terms of peace remained to be agreed
upon.
The navy Of the United States had
been the first 10 give the Spaniard a

of his guns was greater than that Of the
inferior pieces on the Spanish ships, and
but few Of their shots took effect; the
ma rk smanship OF his gunners made their
fire precise and terrible; he led his ships
slowly back and forth along the lire of

The military authorities OF the United
States are anxious TO obtain Congress
ional authority for permitting the use
of army transports for the carrying of
the commercial products of this country
and its island possessions. This senti-
ment is the outgrowth of an actual crisis
which affects the pineapple shippers CT
Porto Rico. who have been unable to get
sufficient space on the limited number
Of freight carriers to insure the export
of their crops. They desire to use the
army transports for this purpose and the
army desires the proper authority to al
low the use of transports.
A similar condition is said to exist in
the Philippine Islands. and within the
limit allowed by the army regulations,
transport authorities have endeavored to
alleviate this condition as much as pos
sible. Under existing circumstances,
unused space on transports returning from
the Philippine is placed at the disposal OF
ing this space to transport island prod
ucts to the United States.
Private shipping interests have made
no complaint of this seeming competition
OF tfe army, because it is realized that
there is much more work than private
shipping interests can do. At the same
time. transport officials are extremely
careful to avoid the slightest competition
with private interests. where it is appar-
ent that cargoes brought on transports
can find private bottoms over the same
route.
Under the new course OF army instruc-
tions recently prescribed there seems
to be a growing interest in the cavalry
branch in the use of the saber. This
interest was revealed by the persistent
reports of broken sahers received at the
War Department. These reports led Of
ficials of the department to order an in
vestigaton into the cause of the broken
sabers and 1t was found that cavalrymen
have been drilling so constantly with this
weapon that a certain percentage of
breaks was inevitable Considering the
amount of saber training involved, II
seems that the breakages, while ap-
parently many, were really few, when the
continued use of the weapon is taken into
consideration.
Where broken sabers have been re-
ported. it was generally found that they
were due to the trooper missing his aim
and striking some hard. unyielding por-
ton of the target frame work. or due
to the horse falling upon the blade and
swapping il. Another cause of breakage
is the improper holding of the arm when
its pierces the dummy.
The ordnance department of the army,
however, Is perfectlng the quality OF steel
that goes into the army saber and in fu-
ture there will be more uniform temper
in the steel. which should greatly reduce
the number of broken weapons.
Defective vision seems to be one of the
most prevalent causes OF rejection of
