TROOPS OF BOLIVIA. Warriors Who Array Them selves in Brilliant Colors. There Are as Many Officers as Men in the Army. Military parades, writes Fannie B. Ward to the Washington Star from La I’az, Bolivia, are always frequent here, doubtless with a view to impressing the people with their powers, but now’ hardly a day goes by without a grand display of cavalry and infantry, rank and tile, evoluting around and around the plaza. Martial music is continu ally in the air. At stated intervals duving every day a company of soldiers comes sweeping down the hill from one barrack or up the hill from another, marching be hind a brass band in full toot and halt ing before the president’s casa, where they render a selection or two for the delectation of the people. It is only | the ceremony of guard mounting, and although it occurs every few hours, : year in and year out, it is invariably attended by the same flourish of music and musketry. Besides ad this it has been the custom from time immemor ial to hive military music in front of the palacio two nights in every week and on the evenings of most fiesta days, when three bands stationed in a row play alternately, each musician with a soldier before him, whose back serves as a rack for the score, ivhile gaily caparisoned officers off duty swarm like mosquitoes and crowds of people promenade around and around the plaza. All the soldiers are obliged to attend ' Sunday mornings, “clean mass 011 shirt day,* as it is irreverently called, and an interesting sight it is to see them come marching in with shining bayonets over their shoulders, each di vision headed by its officers. They completely till die body of the church and the sound of the organ is drowned by the l)!are of trumpets. At a signal arms arc presented, down goes every i musket upon tho stone floor with a which shakes the building and ! d ,en mcn 8tai, d motionless as stat I tlie V>-opcv time comes to fall 1 upon their knees. I Jn the Bolivian army a great variety j of uniform is noticeable, each officer j having apparently been allowed to ex I cruise his own taste in the equipment ! of liis company, and amazingly have 1 tlicir individual fancies swung 0 out in ! , the matter of personal adornments. The e arc suits in gray and gold, in black and gold, in blue and gold, in ; blue and red, in black and bine, in ' gray and black; others all red, all gray, all blue; and caps of various shapes and colors in tho same regi ment. Some of the officers wear long doublcd-caped overcoats in scarlet \ sloth, others gray cloaks not unlike those of Franciscan friars, and others the graceful satin-lined cTculars of black broadcloth characteristic of Spanish hidalgoes. The “President’s Guards,” which we see careering about the ciiy iu gor geous array, are, of course, tho crack regiment—in dress and demeanor as far removed as the antipodes from the shabby, bare-footed, common soldiers. Tl,e c ’ va,r s ,he “ ,,cst ,n '' ,la v - - tho offic<! '' 8 0,1 h0 '' ses > a thousand men clad iu scarlet from top to toe, and riding as only South Americans can. Without disparaging the valor of Bolivian soldiers their general ge'-up reminds ouo of an historic incident which may pci hups illustrato their character. It was many years ago, in some fra cas between Peru and Bolivia, when the armies of the two countries rushed forth to battle with banners flying. So splendidly arrayed were they and so stunning an appearance did they make that when one beheld the other bo h sides turned tail and fled in con fusion. Gathering courage at length, the rival generals, with such men as they could rally, returned to face one another, keeping at respectful distance and talking through trumpets, when, after considerable parleying, tho war was declared “off,” both armies marched homo in triumph with flags unfurled, and to this day the 1 :eal historians of both countries chronicle their side as victorious. In connection with tho difficulty of placing Bolivia’s soldiers according to their uniform it may be mentioned ! that her armies are composed of about as many officers as men. From time immemorial it lias been the object of ruling powers to render the military loyal to the government through pride of self-interest, if not from patriotism. Thus we see corporals nourishing > in toggery of colonels, with pay I to correspond, and the leader of one of tlie bands wears the full uniform of a j general and receives the honors and emoluments pertaining to the latter position. Hawaiian Peculiarities. “The Sand which Islands form tho most cosmopolitan section I ever vis- I j ited,” said Robert J. Ankinson, who was in the city yesterday on his way to Boston after a trip to Honolulu. “English, Americans, Chinese, Spaniards, Portuguese, South Sea Islanders, Germans and natives are so mixed up and have intermarried until a pure-blooded person of any nation ality is hard to find among the younger generation. This intermarriage lias produced a peculiar race in itself, but the white blood predominates and tho whitest men control the government, while English is the official language. All the courts have three or four in terpreters, oil account of the different people that make up the population. Nine men on a jury can convict. A native is entitled to a native jury, and a foreigner to a jury of foreigners. In a case involving both, the jury is half and half. “If a visitor remains on the island more than thirty days, he cannot leave without a passport, and he cannot gei a passport as long as there is any charge made by a citizen pending against him. So he can't, run away from his debts and board bills, for the steamers will not carry him unless hi? papers are all right. “I visited the leper settlement. Con sidering their condition, they form a very contented community. The three cornered plot forming the scttlemem is bounded on two sides by the sea and on the third by a high bluff. The lepers are well cared for, and the gov ernment spends vast stuns of money every year to provide them with every thing they want.”—[New York Star. Hard Riding. In Turkey the sultan’s mails and disp itches from ou lying province used to be carried by Tartars riding post, with relays of horses changed cve r y 20 or 30 miles, and are now in some parts of the country where tele graph has not been established. The same man in charge went tho whole distance; these couriers would often perform great feats of endurance. From Bagdad to Constantinople is 1,000 mites, not over a level or robing prairie, but frequently crossing moun tain ranges, along precipices, aero-s to;rents, etc., and there is not a mile of made road the whole way, yet tin ordinary time the Tartars took to per form the distance was a fortnight, and on urgent occasions it has been dune in twelve days, and even in eleven days. There is no doubt whatever about this, because the route through Asia Minor, fi*om the Persian Gulf, was in former days, before (lie Red Sea route was established, often used by officers and others who did not mind rough travel and were in a hurry to get homo or to get out to India, and they often rode with the Tartars from end to end, besides which the British resident at Bagdad, or rather the residency, was for more than a century in the habit of transmitting disnatehes from Iudia v. * to Constantinople and Europe by means of these same carriers, As much as lot) miles per day has oficn been done for eight or ten days by the Tartars. They only rested fuiir hours out of the twenty-four, and pitched 011 the rest of the lime at a rate of C to 10 miles an hour. — [Galveston News. A Disappointment. site so.
