MILES WAR SHIELDS.
Cost Thirty Thousand nnd Proved
Utterly Useless.
Ik I'onllilfe In AliiilccV.
At the opening of tho Spanish war
there was one thing In which (Jeneral
Miles was allowed to nave his own
way. Out of the llfty millions of dol
lars apptopilated by congiess for the
national defense a. certain stun wns
allotted to tho genet nl of the army tu
be expended Ji he thought best. A
part or this sum Miles devoted to
eairylng out an .original scheme ot his
own. Ho conceived the Idea of fur
nlshlng his aimy of Invasion with it
device which bo believed would be nf
gieat elllcacy In piotectlng them
against the bullet!, of the foe. He ot
ili'tctl the ronstmctlon nccordlng to
plans of his own of two bundled
shields tho llko of whlih had never
been seen In war. These shields were
bullet-proof steel plates mounted on
an axle which a few men were to push
ahead of them In tho advance aga'ust
the enemy. They weie nlso to be n d
ni nn enslly-consti acted Iiittenehineut
by throwing earth ngnlnst them. Thej
were built ns Miles directed nt n cost
of thirty thousand dollats. but they
weie so constructed thnt no nuny on
earth could have shoved them nhcad
over the nanow wagon trail of Cuba,
where It wns Intended that they should
be used. The fortunes of war did not
permit of their employment, for the
famous "mud-match" to Havana never
begun, mid they are now stored tinny
at fort Wadsworth, New Yoik. nnd
Fort Meyer, Virginia, one hundred of
them ut each post, wheio they hiivi.
