Some Military Lessons.
In marked contrast with tho course
tf tho Thirteenth regiment of Scranton,
the Thirteenth icchnvnl ot Brooklyn
has been disbanded by order of the
Governor ot Now York state because
it refused to ohey his older to present
itself at state camp. Tho men claim
they misunderstood tho executive's
command. They aver that they thought
the matter of volunteering to enter the
.ervlco of the United States was op
tional with them as individuals nt their
homes. But even on the basis of this
explanation they stand comdemned,
for the place to exerclbe this option Is
nt tho state headquarters, and a little
intelligent inquiry would have sufllced
to procure them that information.
Taken In connection with many other
Incidents arising from the recent call
for volunteers, this action of the Brook
lyn regiment teaches a number of val
uable lessons. One Is that there needs
to bo a clear and exact definition ot he
-gaJ status of the National Guard, suf
ficient to cover any and every emer
gency, to the end that the very consid
u.iblo and general confusion which has
attended this recent mobilization may
in future be obviated. It has been due
more to this widespread lack ot under
standing of the respective powers of
the state and federal authorities thnn
to any Inherent lack of ready patriot
ism among individual guardsmen that
there has been among the organized
militia a disposition to dictate terms to
the federal government and to threaten
lefusal to enlist unless existing militia
organizations are preserved intact. The
Tennsjlvanla guardsmen shared this
disposition for a time and talked ex
ceedingly big until they came to realize
that It was the (lag of the nation which
called for volunteers; then they fell
into line gracefully and boon became
the most eager for matching ciders.
nother lesson taught by recent ex
periences nnd obsetvatlons is that mil
itia, whether organized or unorganized,
furnish In time of imminent national
hostilities a poor substitute for u large,
thoroughly disciplined nnd efficiently
officered regular nimy. Had there been
fcuch an army in this country thte
weeks ago, Cuba would today be in
American hands and the vexing ques
tion of how to minimize the climatic
dangers ot the Cuban rainy season up
on a raw army of occupation consisting
largely of volunteers would not have
arisen. AVe hay this without reflection
upon the- Pennsylvania, guardsmen,
who mobilized as quickly as any regu
lar army could have done, but we say It
hecause, in spite of exceptional divi
sions among the National guard, it is
true of the guard as a whole that It is
not fitted to serve for purposes of ag
gressive campaigning In lieu of a mili
tary force under continual and com
plete subjection to the war department
at "Washington
Under modem military conditions, it
is absolutely lmpeiatlve that an army
of Invasion, to bo effective, be compact,
precise and uniform in drill and equip
ment, and Implicitly obedient to the
commanding authority. A force made
up hastily from stato sources of vary
ing degrees of efficiency and with dif
fering standards of discipline may have
in it the elements of strength, but be
fore theso can be knit together much
valuable time will havo to be passed in
federal camps of instruction. Quick
action with such a force Is a military
impossibility

Already Whipped and Whimpering.
The premier of Spain, Senor Sagasta,
since he has heard from Manila, has
ceased to boast and begun to whine,
Hear him:
The situation Is ery simple, nnd, un
fortunately, It cannot be concealed. Spain
is desolated and ruined by Internal
troubles. The United States Is prosper
ous, and Increases in riches and strength
dally. The United States has coveted
Cuba for a long time, first, because it In
nn excellent strategic point, and, second,
so as to be masters of interoccanlo trade.
To attain this object it has literally hesi
tated at nothing. It knew the state of
our finances and took advantage ot it
to attack us, after having assisted the
Cuban Insurrection, with tho view to com.
pletlng our ruin, nnd with the cut-and-dried
plan ot declaring war as soon as it
considered our exhaustion sufficiently ad
aueed. Htnor Sagasta forgets that the United
ata.ixi for three years most solemnly
warned Spain before proceeding to at
tack her. An Intelligent government
would have heeded theso repeated
warnings and not have gone on blind
ly piling up Infamies against a day of
wrath, Tho records show that In face
of theso warnings Spain continued to
vlolnte her tteaty stipulations with thp
United States, continued to butcher and
starve her unoffending1 colonial sub
jects and continued to delude our ofllc
lals with fnlse promises of reform, un
til her treachery to the Maine filled our
cup ot exasperation to tho brim nnd
forced u, 11 nation of peace, lo take
up tho swoid In the name of outraged
humanity.
Befoie we did that we offered Ppaln
a last chnnco to escape. AVo agreed If
she would give up her already barren
sovereignty In Cuba, permitting the
peoplo of that unfortunnto Island to
govem themselves, not only not to
press our Just claims for Indemnifica
tion further but also to put no ob
stacles In the way of her getting If
possible from the Cuban revolutionists
some faiowell payment In return for
her iccognltlon of Cubnn Independence.
We consider that In view of nil that
tho United Stntes has suffered by rea
son of Spanish administrative Incom
petency In Cuba this was a generous
offer. It tluovv into tho scale of peace
not simply our loss arising from the
destruction of the Mnlnc but nlso the
vast commercial losses which wo have
sustained In tho well-nigh complete de
alt uctton of our Cuban tinde and the
damages claimed by our citizens he
cause of mnltientment nt Spain's hands
In Cuba. In effect, we said to Spain:
"Cease to annoy and lnjuie us In
future, by withdrawing from our neigh
borhood, and wo will foiget the an
noyance and Injury you hae caused
to us In the past and call the nccount
even."
If Sagasta know then that Spain was
desolated and ruined while the United
States was strong, lleh nnd piospor
ous, why did ho not avail himself of
that opportunity to sae the body ot
Spain by consenting to tho amputation
of a gangrened limb? 'When he pei
mltted fnlse piide to ovcnule prudence
did ho not Invito all tho consequences
which linve followed and which aie
toon to come? Is It dignified, then, to
whimper nt the fhst cut of a lashing
which could easily and honorably hae
been averted?
A queer thing, tiuly, Is Spanish
honor!
From 01 dors Issued at Madild it looks
as though the government was anxious
for the United States gunners to re
duce Spain's armv pay toll as rapidly
ns possible.
Berating the (lovernor.
The Philadelphia Ledger sajs.
Governor Unstligs and Central Sunn
den deliberately deceived the piesidtnt
and tho war department by the solemn
nssur.inco that tho l'enn-jivaiiU division
of the National guard was full equipped
and thoroughly prepaicd to take the held
All tho newspaper rcpoits agree
that tho conultlon ot Camp Hastings Is
entirely discreditable ' Horses
have died from exposure. Tho volunteers
are badly clothed nnd worto. fed The
governor and tho generals and their state
have shown their utter incapacity and
the sooner tho volunteers fiojn the Na
tional guard aro freed fiom the Incubus
of their Incompctencj the better for the
men und the service Governor
Hastings, nnd his inspector general, und
his quartermaster general, nnd his mjjoi
general, and his biigudier g 1ur.1l have
brought down the contemptuous laughter
of the olllcers ot the regular armv sent
to Mt. Gretn.i The onl.v thing for
Governor Hasllrgs to do to lomtdy tho
mischief he has made by his Intemperate
haste to have the Mist volunteers in the
service of the Vnitcd Slaes, is to go to
Washington and ask the war department
and the goneial of the arm to take
charge ot the National gu.ird, to oflieei
It, to 1 quip It, to tied It and tu take it
to tho f 1 out.
Our Philadelphia eontemporaiy seems
disposed to emulate In 11 small way
those papeis which, duilng the Civil
war, pesteied and Insulted President
Lincoln, attacked Giant nnd 11111 the
war eveiv moinlng In their editorial
columns far better than the govern
ment could. As a matter of fact, the
Pennsylvania division of the National
guard, when mobilized at Mt. Gietna,
was equipped and prepated to take the
field, and if it had been accepted by the
war department as a division, would
have been leady for Immediate match
ing: orders. Its equipment and piepar
ation weie according to Pennsylvania
standards. The war department, by
imposing different standards, caused
the delay that followed. Besponslblllty
for It cannot therefoie f.tlrly be charged
against Governor Hustings.
As for the conditions at camp, we
venture to sny they will compare very
favorably with those ot any regular
army camp in similar climate and with
corresponding weather. At Mt. Gretna,
ere the troops were mustered In, two
men slept under one tent, today, under
regular army tegulatlons, six men oc
cupy one tent. Tho food nnd clothing
provided by the state wero the same
In kind ns the food and clothing pto
vlded heretofoie at bilgado nnd divis
ion encampment. It there has been
complaint this time and none before It
has been mi w count of tho extraordi
narily Indent-lit weather.whlch neither
the gov ei 1101 urn his staff could have
made to oidei. and because of tho fact
that this encampment, far from being
a midsummer laik, has meant the most
seilous business in tho guaid'u later
history.
As for tho laughter of 'tho regular
army olllcers, It had best not be prema
ture. The administration of tho quar-
termoflter and commissary depart
ments of the National Gumd of Penn
sylvania will not shrink from compari
son as to honesty ot service and free
dom from scandal with the correspond
ing departments of the federal govern
ment; nor do the officers of that guard
feel that tho tepresentatlves of the
regular army now at Mt. Gretna nro
so superior in true merit as to entitle
them to indulge in challenges.
Congressman Dalzell lives and learns.
"Above all things," says ho, "the battle
In Manila harbor has Inspired tho be
lief that wo ought to have a splendid
navy, able to cope with any of tho
navies of the world. I have had seri
ous doubts as to the value nnd eillc
iency of our battleships. They are
complicated nnd cumbrous machines,
I3efore Dewey's victory their efficiency
had never been demonstrated. Their
action In that conlflct and the fact that
the Oregon, which In the greatiut fltrht.
Ing machine afloat, has successfully
weathered a crulso along the entlro
western coast of South Amcrlca.around
the Horn nnd up tho eastern coast,
goes to show that they have an effic
iency which I was very much afraid
they did not possess. Both these facts
go to strengthen tho opinion that it. Is
wle for us to continue tho policy al

gront navy. It would seem to bo ab
solutely essential to tho maintenance
of our commercial supremacy." It is.
The "old salts" of tho Atlantic nsn

the war Is over, or at least until tho

Events nt Manila harbor indicate
that Spanish naval people are more
successful In blowing up ships with
mines In times of pence.
Wo don't begrudo the Cramps their

can build warships like Dewey's do
servo to piosper.

INSOLVENCY OF SPAIN.
I'rom the Philadelphia lleeord.
Thuaieiied with indirection at home,
and with war nhcady deelaied against
her liv this countrj, Spain Is now pldced
netween the devil and the deep sea.
ilankiiipte), moieovcr, starts her in tho
face, so tint he 1 poslton Is ut once lies
pciatu and pitiable. The, campaign in
t'uba. has cut Spain mote than SiJOW.
Ut, the ewpuidituies duilnt, the past
three jcuis nUne on this account have
amounted to $1CW 000,000 per eai, and the
pay of the tiocps In Cuba Is In arioars
inoro than $mmuu,iou. J lie annual u
cdpts ot tho Spanish tieasurj are lts
than $150,000,000. and the deficit lias
uvached xtupfiidous propoi lions some
wheio about J23uo0,000 per annum. Th
debt has Incieased from $l.lo0,bj0,0o0 In IK")
to Jl l-M) ocw 000 In 17. interest charges
on this great sum umount to nearly JloO
WW.000 per annum, 01 about TO per cent,

ban cluiges tho nimy and navy epen
dituies prior to the extraordinary ex
penses cons, tun nt upon tho lecent ,nep
aratlous for war with tho I'tilted States
exceeded 30,0o0,oio pur annum.
o
In addition to the enormous cost of the
Cuban campaign in money, the loss of
Spanish soldiers hilled In desultory light
ing, or who havo died from wounds and
disease, lias teen extraoidlnary. More
til. 111 fifty thonand men havo been killed;
nn equal number weie on tho slcl: :tst in
hospitals In Cuba n tew months ago, and
11s many more have be n sent back to
Spain as invalids Tho deperato straits
to which Spain has been reduced In or
der to meet her financial obligation in
tho past few lears are well Known to
financiers, nnd further loans cannot be
obtained except at ruinous rates, If at
all Although tho numerous loans havo
met with enthusiastic reception from tho
people, tho Hank of Spain has had to find
most of tho money for tho subscribers,
who promptly pawned the stock ns soon
as It was allotted because tho intere?t
It jlelded was higher than the teims rrld
for advancement.
o
A recent hsue of Falrplay contains a
lengthy and exhaustive review of "Span
ish Insolvent," In which the following
interesting nccount of tho Bank of Spain
and tho government loans appears: "That
Institution has a total paid-up capital ot
ECOOO.OOO, nnd is a creditor of the feov
ernment for 30,000 000. In other woids,
it hus lent to tho state not only tho wholo
of its capital, but 30 000 000 besides, most
of this last being mc ney it holds for, its
privato customers. Slnco Pcbruary, lS'JJ,
Its holding of treasuiy bonds nlono has
llscn Horn 1,GS0 000 to 1.000.000. It is,
therefore, hurdly surprising that its uota
circulation has in the same Interval gono
up from 17 000 000 to over 50.000 000,
whllo Its tock 01 gold has only increased
from 8,000 000 to 9 500,000. On tho other
hand, the government has forced on It
silver In a perfect flood in order to mako
a pi out on tho transaction. Slnco U02 no
less than 20.0ft0,ooo of gold out of a total
stock of, at that date. 31,500,000 has been
shipped abroad by tho government to pur
chase silver at a low prlco, which wus put
Into circulation nt Its full currency value.
In this way the national money has been
degraded to a tcrrlblo extent, and tho po
sition of tho bank has becomo correspond
ingly Impaired. To show how Intimate
aro tho relations between the bank and
tho treasury It is only necessary to point
out that of the gross profits made last
year, amounting to 2,1:0,000, no less than
l,EGi 000 was derived from tho bank's
Investments in tho national funds and Its
discounts and advances to tho stato.
During tho last few dajs tho bank has
undertaken to make a further advance
of 8 000,000 to tho government on the se
ourlty of customs bonds. It Is, perhaps,
after this exposition, hardly necessary to
suggest that In tho event of the treasury
collapsing tho bank will go with It, nnd
that In vlau of tl flnmirUl Altlan t
tho former, bankruptcy stnrcs it hard in
tho face."
o
Theso facts havo an Important bearing
upon current ovents. Money is tho mov
ing force In modern warfare; and it is in
concelvablo that a bankiupt nation, sln
capable of obtaining this stnow of war,
can meet In battlo a great and wealthy
nation llk tho United States with hopo
of any tneasurcablo eucccss. Spaln'p
cholco was probably a forlorn selection
of what Bho considered tho lesser of two
evils.

All day long tho big guns at tho

could do no damage, but the fact that

conclusively that they must have re

equipment In ammunition has always
been reported lamentably small. The
only concelnblo way they have tho

Caitnjo, of Matanzas, Cuba, who has
been attending the Mtllorsville Noimal
school for some time, left today for
New York city, where ho will join an
expedition which will unite with Go

nt tho outbreak of the rebellion nnd
tells a story which Illustrates the In
humanity of the Spanlnids even nt the
opening of tho war. In March, 1895,
some Ushers In the bay of Matanzas
found their nets unusually heavy nnd
drnwing them up found within the
bodies of three Cuban ciilldten. Tho
governor of Matanzas at once gave or
ders that no more fishing should be
allowed In the harbot.
At flist It had been the custom to
shoot prisoners, but the noise of the
guns oould be heard In the city, and to
conceal the great number of such exe
cutions drowning had been tesorted to.
Mr. Carta a was In Matanzas at the
