SPAIN'S ARMY IS CUBA.
At the close of 189C Here were
200,000 Spanish soldiers in Cuba.
These were, even at tbat time, poor
ly paid, pooriy equipped for active
campaigning, and without a commis
sariat, as it would be understood in
this county, or in Germany or Great
Britain. In a campaign against the
insurgents the troops making a fight
were compelled to return within
twenty-four hours to a fortified town
or camp. Xo provision was made
except the last campaign inaugur
ated by General Weyler for extend
ed operations m the field. The sol
diers were clad as a rule in linen
suits, with shoes that did not stand
the wear and tear of marching, and
even a short campaign put them in
lamentable condition.
In his last campaign in 1897 Gen
eral Weyler put into the field 3G,000
effective troops, moving these in six
different columns against the insur
gents. At the c'ose of 1897 the in
sursent Government claimed that
there were not more than 70,00
effective Spanish troops in Cub
These were concentrated in an
about Havana, Matanzas. and otheri
cities on the coast. Only three in-1

tenor lumis erc u-.x-upit-u ui mat
time. These weie held as a matter
f pride rather than cf strategic im
portance, and it was said tbst in
their attempt to hold Bay-amo and to
supply it with munitions of war and
provisions the Spaniards had lost
fully 5,000 men.
In January of this year it was
stated that if Cuba were blockaded
Ijy a hostile power the Spanish army
would be compelled to evacuate or
surrender within two weeks. Al
most everything that Is necessary for
the support of the army is brought
from Spain, the United States, or
Mexico. The troops are well sup
plied with ammunition, but they
hmve never been on full rations, and
a few months ago fully one-third of
the army was in the hospital or on
the sick list. To say nothing of the
insurgent army, which is probably
40,000 strong, the Spanish army in
Cubs could not stnnd a long siege.
It is not made up of veteran troops, ; ur, Shackelford has removed his office
but main)- of young men who were j to room 14, Vogt block, over the poet
hurried away from Spain without ; "ft" m!7-2m
much military training.
We do not think the Astoria con
Tcntion acted wisely m casting out
the anti - Simon delegation from
Multnomah county in the w.13 that
it did ; but that is neither here nor
theie at this time. However, the
victorious faction should not seek to
Tub the wounds. The Republican
party has a fight on its hands 111 the
coining campaign. Every Republi
can vote will be needed, nnd the
contesting delegation from Multno
mah county represents n large Influ
ence and body of voters. The olive
branch of peace should be extended,
and ever effort made to alleviate
the soreness which naturally remains.
The fenate votes today on the
resolution giving recognition to the
Cuban government. A few weeks
ago the passing of such a measure
wald have been thought tantamount
bringing on war; but the wnri
has hovered and passed so
thf that no one has any sur-
( ake as to the future. The
