J SANTIAGO REINFORCED
I 20,000 Spanish Troops Have Joined
■ General Linares.
I Washington, June 29.—Startling in-
I formation has been received from the pa-
I citicos who left Santiago and joined Gen.
I Ehafter’s army to save themselves from
starvation. I.
I They say that since the Americans be.
I gan their advance toward Santiago, nearly
20 000 Spanish soldiers have arrived in
' that city. They report a distressing state
I of affairs and say that the Spanish soldiers
on abort rations and all supplies are
■ bring held for tydr use. ; i
There are two forts of considerable im-
I portance within the Spanish lines-Punte
| Blanco at the southern end oi the bay and
Santa Ursula at the corner.
I On the road to Carney;g.iy fae north, is
another port. There are about 4,500 men
| *’WteCh of these sfretch
| ing around the whole city "hre nine barbed
I wire fences, 50 yards apart, wjjile just in
side these are lines of rifle pitK-
Outside to the east ward,about two miles
beyond the American outpoete, is a line of
entrenchments, extending from the nor th
. ern extremity of the city to Morro castle.
A little west of south, at a distance of
about seven miles irom Gen. Lawton’s
headquarters, lies Morro castle.
The road to within a few hundred yards
of the batteries of Morro was reconnoiter
ed Sunday afternoon by Gen. Chaffee and
several members of his staff.
The Cubans believe Santiago would
yield at once if the Americans could cut
off the water supply of the city. They
say that Admiral Cervera’s entire fleet is
in the harbor, the torpedo boat
destroyer Terror.
General Lawton does not believe that
the guns have been taken from the ships
to strengthen the land defenses, and be
says it is impossible for Cervera to reach
the American army with his guns from
where the Spanish ships lie.
The officers are surprised that they have
met no further resistance in their advance,
as the ground over which they have
traveled could have been easily defended.

GENERAL MERRITT SAILS.,
Goes to Raise the Stars and Stripes
Over the Philippines.
Washington, June 29.—The speedy
steamer Newport, bearing Major General
Wesley Merritt, military governor of the
Philippines, and his staff, besides the light
batteries and companies H and K of the
Third Uplted States artillery and detach
ments from the signal corps, is now on its
way to Manila, o ■■
As the Vessel gradually drew away from
her moor at Ban Francisco today, the
the blowing of piaay whistles told the
people tbat Gen. Merritt had taken his de
partrue. crowds bad {gathered to
wltness lh'e departure of the vessel, and
mafiy fashionable equipages' on the deck
told of th® pteMMe of the ”400” who had
come to bid tfrewell to friwute in the As
tor battery.
The Newport will make an effort to
oyertajre the third fleet of transports,which
sailed 04. Monday after the fleet reaches
Honolulu,.where the vessels will coal and
take on fresh supplies before proceeding,
■to ‘ ‘ «
Gen. Merritt is very anxious to avoid
an encounter with any vessel of the Span
ish navy and Will issue orders 10 the fleet
at Honolulu to make all possible speed, ft
is probable thatthe Newport will not wait
for the other the fleet at Hono
lulu, but will proofed with as little delay
as possible tp Manila.
The, Spaniards at Manila say they are
determined to fight to-She death, and there
is every reason to believe that when the
American troops arrive there will be terri
ble fighting on land and sea.
It is supposed at Manila that the Ger
man warship will prevent the bombard
ment of that place, and it is alleged that
Prince Henry of Prussia is on his way
there on board a warship.
The Spaniards are said to be actively
pushing preparations for the defense of
the city., A „ i . >
■ j The Mauser Bullet.
The wounds sustained by marines
at hay were terrible in
effect and appeaYance, says an ex
change. In tbe'vbry first accounts of
the skirmishes there it was noted that
the dead were terribly mangled. This
was due to oi the
rullet at short range.
The wounds were saucerlike affaire,
and at first it was thought that the
Spaniards had used “soft” cartridges, 1
which “set up” or spread like a mush*
room upon impact, but the fact that
the Mauser rifle was the regulation
small arm of the Spanish infantry led '
to an examination of the kind of dam- 1
age it does.
Al short range the Mauser bullet, 1
because of its wonderfully rapid twist, ’
tears a large hole. At a greater dis*
fance its gyrations grow fewer, its
flight is steadier, and it makes slitting «
wound like a saber thrust. At the ;
greatest effective range the Mauser j
bores like an auger, leaving only a 1
small incised wound and completely 1
penetrating bone, sinew, tendom, or 1
fleshed opposed to it.
The Unified States adopted the
Krag Jorgensen of 1892, about the
time the Spaniards concluded to arm
their men with the Mauser. Both are
high power magazine rifles of the
“cut off ’ type, central fire cartridges,
and nearly the same weight Each
carries five cartridges. The Mauser is
27 caliber, the Krag Jorgensen 30 The
Mauser bullet weighs 173 grains, the
Krag Jorgensen 220 grains The
Mauser is ejected by only 30 graine of
powder, while the Krag Jorgensen
takes 37 ; but the Spanish projectile is
propelled by smokeless powder, which
gives an initial velocity of 2,280 feet
per second, while ours goes from 200
to 270 feet slower.
The highest pressure smokeless
powder us°d by the Spanish is equal
to 21 tons to the squ ire inch. More
over, the rifling of the Mauser gun
barrel is such that the bu let has more
twist when it leaves the tube. Hence
the big lacerated, saucerlike wounds.
When the bullet leaves the rifle it
pierces the air or any object less im
pregnable than armor plate with a
horizontal spiral motion At the same
time it proceeds in minute undula
tions

Regular Vs. Green Troops.
The first battle of any* consequence
I in Cuba has furnished a valuable oh*
ject lesson for our troops. Il has al

Even a casual observer must liaVtf

green troops in last week’s bloody fight
near Santiago Roosevelt’s Rough
Riders, us famjJUr as they vtre aupJ
posed to be with bush fighting, fed 10
easy prey for the Spaniards: while tbr

The former wilLoo doubt, fare bet,

experience, will always , rnslatu k
•Thaller Joes nr- biktle, b cause it hey
know better how to protect themselves.
>nd their officers are seldom ‘rtflfr#
while in action,.
Old army men all agree that tbr
soldier who, without displaying tint
idiiy, takes the fewest chances i’r bat-*
tie is, for obvious reason®, worth tw«
or three of the foolhardy fellows whri.
rush in where such rrcklessness is not’
necessary. It is well for our volunteef
soldiers to learn this lessen before they
have need for it.
It in not cowardice to protect one
seif in battle as far as practicable. The
soldier who shields himself behind a
tree, whenever the opportunity is
itimately presented, while all tbatirrta
pumping lead into the enemy, wi,ll
accomplish more than a dozen dare
devils who stand up and offer the<n«.
selves as a target, to be shot down and
rendered useless.
Accounts of the recent bloody battle
naar Santiago indicate that the Rough
Riders were simply too eager far a
fight, and therefore, rushed in where,
seasoned troops displayed more cau
tion.
It is not to the credit of the former
that they acted hastily or even reck- 1
teuly, evan though they showed great
bravery under fire. The regulars were
perhaps, no less brave, and yet more
of them are left to fight future battles
for their country.
Our volunteers should not mistake
foolhardness for bravery, nor cautious
ness for cowardice. The best soldiers
in the world take the fewest chances .
under ordinary circumstances, but
neither ask nor give quarter when it
must be a fight to the finish.—Macon
News.

A Lewiston man recently found a dog
on his doorstep. He drove her away again
and again, but she would continually re
turn. Last Thursday he found her In his
shed with seven pups lying contentedly
on a rqg. He was minded to drown them
all, but did not, and Saturday a stranger
came who knew dogs and gave him 810
apiece for three of them. Sunday a man
from Auburn who had heard of them
came over and bought one for 810. Mon
day he sold the rest for |8 apiece. “If I
see any more dogs on my steps, I shall
find out what are before I drive
’em off,” he said.—Kennebec Journal.

Bight of Neutrals.
Spain’s report of “one mule killed at
Matanzas” has excited the hilarity of
European newspapers. They all agree in
their respective languages that it was a
grave violation on the part of the United
