THE TWO NAVIES COMPARED
The relative military and naval
strength of Spain and the United
States may be gathered from tho fol
lowing summary:
Servioe in Spain is compulsory. Li
ability commences at the ago ot twen
ty, and lasts for twolve years. The
population of Spain is 17,500,000, and
the number of the annual contingent,
115,000. The following classes are ex
cused by law: Those physically disa
bled, thoae studying for the priesthood
and ministry, thoso condemned to la
bor in mines, those holding professor
ships aud those purchasing exempt
ions. Members of the last class pay
$800 each to be exempted. Exemptions
omitted, there remain 62,000 men for
military service. Thes3 are divided
Into two olassei, for whioh they draw
lots. Tha first class constitutes the
recruits for the active army, and the
second the conditional recruits.
Service in the active army com
mences with three years with the col
ors, then three in tho first reserve, and
then six in the second reserve, the
entire service being twolve years. The
first roserve is called out six weeks
each year for service. Men nerving
With the colors and those with the first
reserve compose the permanent army.
The second reserve is called out only
for home defense. Taking out tha
annual lorses there remain in the six
classes iv the permanent army 220,
--000 men. Adding 190,000 men of the
second reserve, gives a total of 410,000
men.
The country ia divided into seven
districts, there being one army corps
in each. This makes seven corps, eaoh
composed of two divisions of infantry,
«ne brigade of cavalry, ono battalion
of engineers and from one to fpnr
companies of fortress artillery. Tbe
footing ot tho corps is the same in
peace ha war. Each division has two
brigades of two regiments of infantry
in peace, with one brigade of cavalry
for one division; one regiment of Held
artillery and sanitary und administra
tive troops.
In the permanent army and first re
serve there ure 112 regiments of in
fantry aud twenty battalions of rifle
men. In addition there are three Afri
can regiments, two in the Balearic isles
Bii'l one in the Canary isles. The total
itifiutry strength is 5621 officers and
221.336 men.
There are twenty-eight regiments of
cavalry in the active army and four
teen In tho reserve. The first has 1031!
officers and 7256 men. The second bas
6N2 otfloers and 8108 men. The strength
of tho total cavalry is 1582 officers and
10661 men.
Of artillery there are fourteen regl
incut a of Held and two of mountain.
A regiment of the first has thirty offi
cers and 105 men. A regiment of the
second has thirty-one officers and 400
men. The total strength of the artil
lery is 402 olficers and 10250 men.
There are forty-three companies of
fortress artillery, 255 officers and 4921
ni»n.
In the engineering corps there are
f our regiments of sappers and miners
and one of telegraphists; total 228
officers and 8832 men.
The administration corps, consisting
of railway troops, train troops and
sanitary troops, with gendarmes, num
bers 410 officers and 11,224 men.
Colonial troops—These consist of the
army of Cuba, or Cuban militia, which
is indeterminate now; the army of
Porto Bioo, 187 officers and 3627 men;
tbe army of tbe Philippine islands, 832
officers and 11,612 men.
Tbe total Spanish force that can be
pnt in tbe field in .Spain for home de
fense is over 1.100,000 military men; for
foreign servioe, only 200,000.
Spanish troops are armed with tbe
new Manser rifle, a magazine gan hav
ing a caliber of .27 of an inch. There
are five cartridges in the magazine.
The cartridge contains a bullet of 63
grains and 886 grains of strong powder.
The case is of brass. The engineer*,
artillery and administrative troops are
armed with tbe machete, which is a
light sword weighing about two pounds
and a little over two feet long. The
field artillery gun is breech-loading
and of two calibers, 3 and 3.. inches
respec'-lvely in caliber. The caliber of
the mountain artillery is 3 inches. All
are of steel and breech-loading.
The Spanish navy consists of twelve
armored ships mounting 156 guns of
large caliber and over 160 of small;
also 183 unarmored ships, being cruis
ers, gunboats and training ships aud
dispatch vessels, mounting 218 large
guns and 235 of small caliber. There
are fifty-nine torpedo boats of the
first-class and seventy of the second
class. Tbe first-class are for horns
protection, while thoao of the second
class are carried on men-of-war and
are for use iv action. There are 1872
officers and 15,561) sailors. There are
100 officers aud 00)0 marines, lv the

Iv addition to tlie above, there are
at the servioe of the United States the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, with its
three iitteen-inch dynamite guns; the
three torpedo boats, dishing, Ericsson
and Stiletto, and a score or more of
old wooden vessels which would be of
little avail.
The army of the United States con
sists of 25,000 men and 2231 officers on
the active list. Fifteen thousand men
and 1200 officers oau be used for ser
vice outside the country. Tbe real
are on tbe staff, corp" and seacoast ar
tillery. The cavalry and Held artillery
are superior in character and quality
to tbe Spanish. The guns are better.
The oavalry is armed with a new
small-caliber carbine having an eight
cartridge magazine. The militia, num
bering 116,000 men, oannot be used
outside the country. It takes time to
organize volunteers, and it is estimat
ed that it would take four weeks to or
ganize for an invasion of Cuba.
Tho navy is ample to protect the
country against the Spanish navy. In
a war with Spain the United States
could send at once and land in Cuba
5000 men in one wsek. The Spanish
navy of Cuba consists of two armored
vessels, three protected cruisers, seven
oruisers and fourteen gunboats of Va
rying sizes; also a number of torpedo
boats of the second class.—W. B. Ham
ilton in San Francisco Examiner.
"Th-i welfare of tbe Democrat io party,
|as well as tbat of tbe country, will be
1 greatly promoted by an outspoken
declaration for sound money," the
Nashville Banner (Dem.) says. "The
indications point to the absorption
into a separate silver party of all who
place free silver above all other con
siderations. The Democracy will lose
ground by trying to prevent the estab
lishment of the silver party. The Dem
ocratic party which will survive tbe
present century will be a sound-money
party."
PROGENY OF FREAKS
According to Manager T. E. Sackett
of tho Bijou theater, Isaao W. Spragne
was the first unnaturally or abnor
mally thin ekiii arid bones man to be
exhibited to tho public under the title
of v "living skeleton." It was during
the palmy days of Barnum's Greatest
Show on Earth, and while that cele
brated showman was raking the conti
nents in search of curiosities in 1861.
Incidentally Mr. Sprague was in those
days with Tony Pastor. Mr. Sackett
was acting as doortender, manager and
all-around man for Pastor. He had
previously been out with Millie Chris
tine, the two-headed girl, aud had an
eye out for freaks. When the Tony
Pjstor show reached Florida, Stone &
Murray's circus came there. The old
inhabitants will remember Stone &
Murray's show. It was contemporane
ous with Han Bice's, Thayer & Noyes'
and afterward with the Johu Kobinson
circus. With Stone .v. Murray was
Isaao W. Sprague, the living skeleton.
Mr. Sprague had been discovered by
Barnum In Masaaoaiißetts. He was the
first liviug skeleton on record since
the discovery of the world by Adam
Aud Snraguo was a real living bkeleton
to . He was nothing but skiu and
bones, yet he was healthy and jolly.
In 1865 Barnum collected several ou
riOßitiee, including Hprague, aud sent
them for a tour of tbe world. Sprague
was the big card. Next to him was a
skeleton woman, nearly as attenuated
as Sprague, whose name has escaped
the wonderful memory of Showman
Sackett. Among the other freaks with
which Barnum expected to and did as
tonieh the world was Joyce Hetb, the
colored woman be picked up in the
south, supposed to be 125 years old; the
"woolly horse," and Annie Swan, the
first giantess ever on exhibition.
Sprague, on the steamer going over
to London, fell desperately in love with
the skeleton woman. She returned his
nifection, and, according to Manager
Sackett, who «as on the voyage, it was
a sight for 'ho sentimental to observe
the billing and cooing ot these atten
uated specimens of Pharaoh's "lean
kine."
The outre love affair gave Barnum a
business bint, which he was not slow to
take advantage of, On their arrival in
dear old "Lunnon" the showman adver
tised and heralded the astounding faot
far and wide that on a certain day there
could be seen at St. James hall (where
they were showing; something that the
world had never before witnessed,
namely, the marriage of two living,
breathing skeletons. He also an
nounced the fact that never before in
the annals of show business bad such
a thing as the wedding of freaks been
performed in public. This was a faot
too.
OF the enthusiastic crowds whioh
such a unique announcement drew, or
the interesting conduct of the living
skeletons, wedded in the presence of
"assembled thousands," Manager Sack
ett is silent. But he tells of a fact,
however, which is of suoh interest that
it was recorded in medical works, but
never before has seen the light of
newspaper publication. That was that
a year after the marriage of the skele
tons tho wife bore a child which was
also a "living skeleton."
Stranger still to relate—but Sackett
stakes bis fortune on the truth of it—
two other children were also born to
Mr. and Mrs. Sprague, and they were
also of the skeleton mold. For many
years after ard tbe parents traveled
with their unnaturally thin offspring,
and added to the stock of ihe world's
astonishment, inoluding both crowned
heads and those that were bald. The
original Sprague and his wife are dead,
but the three skeleton children, now
young men, are showing about the
oountry, healthy, happy and riob.
This is the only case or succession
of cn3ea iv medical annals where a I'
father and mother transmitted the dis- I'
etse ot wasting atrophy to their off- | !
spring. ! <
Mr. Sackett also tolls of another j ;
weird case that came under his ob3sr- I .
vat ion in his peregrinating show days, i .
Major Barneli, a celebrated showman l|
of the sixties, found a pair ot freak {
twins in the south, the offspring of col- i i
ored people. One of the twins, a boy, [ '
was black as Congo stock. Tne other, ; •
a pirl, was a pure albino. The major ; <
engaged the twins for his show and ex- ! |i
hibited them for years. The albino girl : .
grew up and married an albino in tho j •
west. The offspring of the marriage j .
was a baby as black as the ace of | ,
spades. Of course this enbanoed the i f
showing price of Charley and bis albi- ] J
no wife, and Majjr Bur noil increased j «
their salaries accordingly. I j*
V. K. Prescott wus the discoverer of | it
the fur-famed Sleeping Beauty, whom j \>
he found in Tennessee in the sixties, j b
Ue brought her to St. 1. >vie. Sho was | .
a young girl of surpassing beauty, with ; <
but one fault discoverable. She slept { ]
nine-tenths of tbe time. She was the !.
greatest puzzle the medical men had i '
ever seen. It was one of these latter j '
who deprived her mother of a fortune ! •
and Prescott of one of Ine most popu- •
lar curiosities. The young doctor was ||
left alone iv the showroom one day |j.
while the beauty was sleeping as usual. | j,
His curiosity prompted him to take out , ]
his lancet and puncture ber arm. Tbe ;,
blood started out and the beauty awoke I'
with a scream. Her mother rushed in I'
from an adjoining room. Seeing the <
blood flowing from her daughter's arm, •
she fainted away. This ended theshew- '
ing of tbe Sleeping Beauty. Her j •
mother took ber home, and she never
slept in public any more.—Buffalo I !
Courier. ,
EARLY BANKS IN CALIFORNIA
In treating of the ra ;.ulic period of
the Argonauts writers have touched
but lightly upon pioneer banking, a
subject which would have furnished
mauy au interesting chapter. This is
to be doublo regretted, because t c
business was of a magnitude hardly
equaled in any other new country, and
because the records are today mainly
derived from personal reminiscences,
blotted aud dimmed by the passage of
time. The old banks of Ban Francisco
were undoubtedly marvels of the age.
While lacking the showy exteriors and
baudeome furnishings of their modern
successors, they proved fully equal to
tbe requirements of a day when gold
was more of a commodity than it has
ever been since. Statements of im
mense deposits of gold in the ram
shackle buildings and the pot metal
eafos peculiar to ths times might seem
exaggerated were they not amply
proved by reliable statistics.
In a new land where gold is king,
banking naturally flourishes. With
tbe accumulations of metallic wealth,
a depository must be provided for stor
age and security. Tha miner, follow
ing Borne proliflic lead in quartz or
gravel, cannot continually cache his
pile under the sole guardianship of na
ture. When opportunity offers his
treasure is transported to some safer
place, leaving its owner to pursue
his labor free from any other care. As
all the roads then led to the city by
the bay, San Francisco then became
the great banking center of all ruining
districts. If the profits were large In
those days, many and varied were the
vicissitudes of the business. While, as
a rule, the banker of tbe period is sup
posed to have rolled in luxury, bis
pathway was liberally strewn with
thorns. It could hardly be said that
capital was cautious then, but it cer
tainly was timid to a degree which fre
quently precipitated a crisis—short
lived os a rule—but sufficiently threat
ening in its aspect to cause general
uneasiness.
The depositors among tbe mining
community were inclined to be as fickle
as the fortune which attended their
searoh for gold and when not engaged
in delving among tho gulches and
ravines of the high Sierra or along tbe
banks and bed of the Sacramento and
ics tributaries they seemed to have kept
a watciiful eye over the movements of
the banker. An apparently trivial
eveut would suffice to create suspicion
aud that meant an immediate demand
for whatever money was on deposit,
which had to be forthcoming on short
notice. There was no law then to pro
tect the banker by requiring formal
application for the withdrawal of de
posits under special classification. The
drafts presented must be paid or the
doors must be closed.
In the beginning of 1854 Adams &
00. were subjected to a most trying ex
perience from the most trivial cause.
Usually large shippers of coin, the
January steamer had departed without
tbeir name appearing on tbe manifest
for some reason. A run immediately
was oommenoed on the bank, and be
fore the first day bad closed nearly
$500,000 in gold had been paid over the
counter to an exc'ted crowd of deposi
tors. As usual in such cases the ap
parent ease with which the sudden de
mand was met, and the well-stocked
trays of gold behind tbe counters con
fronting customers, soon turned tbe
tide, and a few hours later the deposits
were pouring back again even more
rapidly than they were withdrawn.
This is only one instanoe of the kind,
quoted to show the nervous disposition
of a community largely made up of
men who hud followed tbe exciting and
precarious oareer of miners in a com
paratively wild and unexplored region,
a life in itself calculated, o inspire and
foster a natural feeling of distrust in
tbeir surroundings.
It is little wonder that banking flour
ished in this golden era. Had the flow
of this glittering stream been cheoked
at the bay in tbose halcyon days, what
a story might have remained to be told
of a city, mistress ot the waters,
greater, even in wealth and grandeur,
than Carthage of old. — Overland
Monthly.
Silver's Waning Strength In the South
But, it will be said, the silverites
have gained the south.
Oh, no! They have lost here as they
have in every other part of the coun
try. In 1892 they bad every southern
member of the bouse except six. In
the present congress thirty-eight south
ern members are opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. A
majority of tbe representatives from
five southern states are now against
free silver, whereas in 1892 the silver
ites controlled tbe delegations from
every one of the thirteen southern
states.—Atlanta Journal (Dem.}.
