YANKEE WARBIUK8.
Contempt of Death Particular! an Ameri
can Trait
The euocesaea of tbe United State in
tbe war with Spain and the losses on
b )th sides have led Rupert Hughes to
write the Yankee down as the sopreme
warrior. The artiole is highly laudatory
in style, but It contains figures and ob
servations specially interesting at this
moment.
Mr. Hughes, after a bigb tribute to
tbe courage and skill of tbe American
soldier, says in Criterion (New Tork):
"The most noteworthy quality, how
ever, of the American soldier is what
Roobefort called a particularly Ameri
can trait, 'contempt of death.' It is
true beyond cavil that tbe world has
never known soldiers that hold or gain
ground in tbe face of such high percent
ages of loss.
"The word 'decimation' is used for
horrible slaughter, and the loss of one
man in ten is certainly heavy. In many
armies it is believed to justify retreat.
Bot with us whole armies have suffered
far greater losses. At Sbiloh, Murfrees-
boro, and Ohiokamauga the losses in
killed and wounded ranged from 16 to
34 per cent. At Santiago General Shatt
er's whole foroe has lost over 10 per
oent killed and wounded.
"As for single bodies of men, tbe
Light Brigade made a foolish charge
bravely and won immortality, thanks to
a great lyrio; it suffered a loss of 37 per
oent killed and wounded.
"In tbe Civil war 262 men in the First
Minnesota volunteers charged a whole
division at Gettysburg, and leaving 215
dead and wounded behind, brought
away the rebel colors. Wbile the Light
Brigade lost 37 per cent and accomp
lished nothing except to immortalize a
blunder, the First Minnesota lost 82 per
oeit and gained a vitally important
point. And as for useless bravery, what
is tbe Bnlaklavan 37 per oent to tbe 75
per oent of the Maine heavies in a seven
minute oharge at Petersburg?
Two German regiments lost respecti
vely 46 and 49 per oent at Metz and
Mars-la Tour, and tbe Twenty-sixth
Russian lost 75 per oent at Plevina.
"But there were fifteen Union and five
Confederate regiments that lost over 50
per cent. Tbe First Texas lost more
than 82 per oent at Antietam, and in one
oompaoy of the Twenty-sixth North
Carolina only three men escaped out of
eighty-seven, a loss of more than 96 per
oent.
"This hideous carnage was the resolt,
not of our fighting aliens, but our fight
ing eaob other. And the history of the
world has no parallel to it. Why, tbe
total oasualties of all our wars, French
and Indian, Revolutionary, 1812, Mexi
can and Indian, do not exoeed tbe loss
of Grant's army in tbe week ending
May 12, 1865.
"Grant's killed and wounded in tbe
Wilderness and Spottsylvania were five
times Napoleon's loss at Marengo, more
than bis losses in all bis Intalian cam
paign, tbree times tbe loss inflicted on
Wellington at Waterloo.
"The reason for this unheard-of
slaughter? There is just one reason;
tbe most intelligent, tbe bravest, the
fieroest soldiery in the world's history
was divided against itself. All that
straight shooting, that battle-fury, tbat
determination wbioh does not falter
when death ia busy on all sides all
those qualities that make up the word
'Americanism' were turned inward at
the nation's own bearl.
"The indomitable magnifieooe of the
Yankee soldier bas lost none of its luster
today. There at Santiago oar foroes
made a landing without tbe loss of a
life, invested tbe city and drove tbe
Spanish through jungle baok to their
labyrinth of tienohes, and were busily
olearing tbem out of these with a fatal
persistence that did not laok the gentle
ness to plead with the enemy to avoid
useless sacrifice to further battle.
"And another American regiment has
gone up higher than tbe Balaklava or
the Plevna heroes. For Captain Ducat
of the Twenty-fourth regulars led a
glorious charge up a long bill at San
Juan ; be started with seventy-five men,
and only twenty-two of tbem reached
the blockhouse at the top. But tho'
they lost 57 killed, the important taot,
the American faot, is tbat they captured
what they went for. The percentage of
loss in men killed was 76, and if the
number of wounded were known the per
centage of casualties would be doubtless
still greater.
"Then there were the nineteen men of
tbe Ninth Infantry at 1 Caney, who
entered a blockhouse through tbe roof
and killed 35 Spaniards. Tbey lost tbe
first four men tbat dropped in, but after
twenty minutes of band-to-band confliot
there were fifteen bale Americans aud
no living Spaniards. Consider, too, the
high percentage of losses among our
officers. They have always led, not followed."

WHERE TO SPEND YOUR VACATION.
The present reduced rates oonld not
have prevailed at a more opportune
time. The summer vacation time ia
here, and all who oan afford it are
planning to take advantage of the differ
ences between tbe warring railroads.
Tbe attention of those who oontemplate
a trip East, whether it be to the moun
tain resorts of Colorado, tbe Omaha ex
position, or points beyond, is oalled to
tbe advantages offered by tbe Bio
Grande Western Railway. Its line and
those of its Colorado joooneotlons run
through the heart of the Rookies, taking
the traveler away from the alkali and
sage brush of its Northern competitors,
and out of the heat of the oountry
through which its competitors on tbe
south run.
For the comfort of those, whose purse
will not permit them to enjoy all tbe
privileges of a first-class ticket, the Rio
Grande Western has inaugurated a
aeries of tourist excursions. The oars
need are owned and operated by tbe
Pullman Palaoe Car oompany. They
are in oharge of speoial oondaotors and
porters, whose sole duties are to look
after tbe comfort of their passengers.
The oars are attaohed to fast express
trains, and held over in Salt Lake City
twelve hours, giving the passengers a
day in the Mormon capital. This lay
over also insures a daylight ride through
tbe Rookies. One of these exoureion
cars run through to Boston; one to
Chicago, via Omaha; one to Chicago,
via Kansas City and the fourth to St.
Lonis. Eaob goes over a different road
east of Colorado, giving the passenger a
choice of routes. These exoureionB leave
Portland Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of each week.
For information as to rates, and for
descriptive pamphlets, address J. D.
Mansfield, general agent, Rio Grande
