; THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MAROH 12, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. - MEASURING FORCES Spain’s Army Four Times the Size of Ours. BOT OUR RESERVES ARE FAR GREATER . The American Soldier Candidly Regarded as a Brave Man. COMPARISONS DRAWN Unbiased military authorities agree that there is no satisfactory basis of comparison between the fighting qualities of the sol- diers of Spain and those of the United States, for the reason mainly that Spain has rot ergaged in a conflict with a first- class power in modern times. Many army officers heve been asked for their views on this subject, but have steadfastly declined to commit themselves. This extreme reti-, cence on a subject in which they naturally have the liveliest interest is due to a recent order of the Secretary of War specially en- Joining officers of the army from public comment on current events affecting the general gevernment. Notwithstanding this Prohibition, it was not at all difficult to learn in the course of a gencral conversa- tion, in private, that most of the officers of Uncle Sam's small army have a sublime confidence in their ability to conquer the soldiers of Spain at any time or place where the conditicns are anywhere near equal. Spanish military prowess was admitted on all sides, but no one in the War Depart- ment was prepared to assert that it com- Pared with the valor and fighting strength of the American army. According to one authority, the Span'sh army has deterior- ated considerably since the days of Charles V and th> Duke of Alva, wher its infantry was the flower of the military world and the terror of Europe. Individual Courage. As one officer put it: “Man for man, the Spanish soldier is not equal to the Ameri- can soldier. The Spaniards are brave and proud, but they haven't got the lasting courage of the Americans. The British and the Americans are on ar equal footing so far as fighting is concerned, and the Span- jards have lost every time they have met the British. The British put them out of raltar, and heve kept them out. The French easily defeated them in the penin- sula,with less troops,while the same French troops were afterward defeated by the Brit- ish in the same territory. There is no dis pute that at one time the Spanish was the finest infantry in the world, but they have sinec deteriorated considerably. They were not able to stand azainst the -British at ‘Trafalgar, whereas the same British troops were subsequently defeated by the Amer: cans in the war of ISI2. Most of the Span- ish conquests were made over people who were not pable of a fair resistance. Ac- cording te one authority the strength of the Spanish lies in the spirit of loy- alty and the spi of igmerance of the sol- diers. Some Mediaveal History. In the sixteenth century Spain was fully abreast of the times, and the qualities named enabled her soliers to build the splendid empire of Charles V, extending over the largest part of western Europe and over almost the whole of the two Americas. The Spxnish soldiers were the best soldiers in pe. Thelr courage and their discipline had been formed by eight centuries of warfare. Their faith in their leaders was implicit. Disloyaity was the blackest crime im the Spanish calendar. They fought with desperate courage and with perfect discipline. They would go wherever their chiefs led. They never mur- reured under the most terrible hardships or the most discouraging reverses. The rulers of Spain in those days had a perfect wea- pon for conquest in the compact, disciplin- ed, Mardy, adventurous and loyal Spanish Feople. With this military people behind him Fe! dinand drove the Mcors back until the 1, sh ruler surrendered and departed for leaving Spain cnce more wholly to h rule. “And C V, who succeed- extended the empire over western Europe. And Philip If, his cruel and arrogant son, even threatened Eng- land—impregnable behind her barriers of sea. In the Americas these hardy and obedient Spanish soldiers followed Bai- boa through the fastnesses of the Cordil- Jeras to the Pacific, went under Cortez to subdue Mexice, under Pizarro ‘to overturn the Incas, under Ponce de Leon to seek the elixir of life in the haunted forests of Flor- ida, under De Soto to endure without com- plaint the miseries of that long and di trous journey to and from the Mississippi. Why It Was. Buckle, more clearly than any other his- torian, hes shown why the crash came so suddenly. The Armada was in a way the culmination of outward demonstration of the power of Spain. But Buckle points out that Spain never had any real basis of power; that it was all false and hollow; that real power can only lie in the intelligence and spirit of independence in the plain People, and that where this is absent one incompetent ruler will crumble the whole flimsy structure into nothingness. Spain stands today where she stood in the sixteenth century, and is far behind in the progress of lization. She is no stronger now ‘than she was then, while most of the other nations have kept pace with the spirit of advancement, and conse- queatly are superior to her in all the qual- ities that go to make a nation powerful and Secure. America in particular is far ahead of Spain in all the elements of power and intelligence, and, like England, would have no trouble in demonstrating her military superiority if the emergency arose.” Spain's Military System. Under the military law of July 1, 1885, the armed forces of Spain consist of, first, @ permanent army; second, a first or active reserve, and, third, a second or sedentary reserve. All Spaniards over nineteen years of age are subject to duty for three years fn the permanent army, then for three years in the active service, and afterward for six years in the sedentary reserve. Ex- emption from service may be secured by the payment of 1,500 pesetas. For the colo- nial army the total period of service is eight years, four with the colors and four in the second reserve. By increasing the number of depot battalions, assigning to each reserve battalion a special district, and making it the essential basis of regi- mental organization, both for recruits and the reserves, it is said that Spain would be able to easily mobilize in case of necessity an army of 1,083,505 men. According to the latest returns, the strergth of the regular army of Spain in peace and war is as follows:- Permanent. 51,162 14,881 10,112 315 War. Infantry Civil guard . Carabineers Total .... 115,735 How the Army is Formed. The regular establishment is made up as follows: Infantry—74 regiments of the line, of two Dattslions; 36 battalions of chasseurs, 136 battalions of reserves, 68 recruiting squad- 1,083,595, rons. Each battalion h: six companies, two in skeleton only. Cavalry—A squadron of royal guards (150 strong), S$ lancer regiments, 17 chasseur regiments, 4 dragoon regiments, 2 hussar regiments; in all, 31 regiments of 4 squad- Tons each. There are also 28 reserve regi- ments and 13 additional squadrons of va- rious kinds. Artillery—Five regiments of 4 batteries, and 5 regiments of 6 batteries; 2 horse batteries, 2 regiments of mounted artillery of six batteries, 1 siege regiment, 12 fort- ress battalions, 7 reserve regiments, 4 com- panies of workmen, and 2 companies zt- tached to the military academy and the central shooting schcol. Engineers—Four regiments of 2 battal- fons of 4 companies, 4 reserve regiments, 1 regiment of pontooreers of 4 companies, 1 battalion each of railway engineers, of tel- — and of workmen; 1 brigade of phers, etc. There is also a special body of engineer officers, numbering 451. i ek i Fy E BEFORE ous remedies and physicians, none of which and good.

H fi Pa Administrative corps—One brigade of 15 sections. Civil guard—Sixteen infantry regiments and 15 cavalry regiments, in all 130 com- panies, partly dependert on the minister of war. Sanitary corps—One brigade of 8 sections, including 447 surgeons and $2 pharmacists. Carabineers, to serve on the frontier and on the coast as custom house officials— thirty regiments of infantry of 8 compa- nies, and also 7 mounted companies. There is also a small territorial army in the Canary Islands, and a small volunteer militia in Ceuta. The Army Stations. The annual contingent of recruits is fixed at 80,000 men. In peace there are 14,655 horses and 396 guns. For military pur- poses the kingdom, with the islands, is di- vided into fourteen districts or ‘“‘capitania generales;” at the head of each there is a captain general. It is further subdivided into fourteen territorial divisions for in- fantry, in each of which there is a regi- menial depot. There are twenty-four dis- tricts for the cavalry and six for the ar- tillery. Most of the army is now located at the port fortifications along the Spanish coast and in Cuba, but there are large detach- ments in the Philippine Islands and in Porto Rico. The United States Army. By act of Congress, the regular army of the United States is limited to 25,000 en- listed men, exclusive of the signal corps, of an authorized strength of fifty enlisted men, and the hospital corps, numbering 786 enlisted men. The actual commissioned and enlisted strength of the army varies very little from that authorized. The or- ganization is stated generally as follows: Cfficers. Men. General and general staff. Ordnance department. Engineer depariment Ten regiments of cavalry. Five regiments of artillery. regiments of infantry... on-commissioned staff, et ted men not attached to Indian scouts, ii regiments, ete .. 2,165 cesses 2160 25,000 Of the officers of the regular army there are 19 general officers, 71 colonels, 91 liew- tenant colonels, 221 majors and 612 cap- tains. The ninth and tenth regiments of cavalry and the twenty-fourth and twenty- fifth regiments of infantry,are composed of negro solaiers, but they have white officers. the regtlar army, there is an or- ganized militia of 9,278 officers and 102,412 men. The number of citizens who might be enrolied in the militia in the event of war is nearly 9,000,000. According to the census of 1890, the males of all classes available for militia service numbered 13,230,168. Of these, 10,424,086 were native born and 2,- 806,082 were foreign born, and” 11,803,968 were white and 1,426,204 were colored. The Argument. Thus it appears that while the Spanish army on a military footing is a small one compared with the armies of Europe, it is more than four times as large as the regu- lar military establishment of the United States. In reserve force and in general military resources, however, the United States is immeasurably si perior to Spain. a DEATH OF LIEUT. BABCOCK, It Took Place at the University Club, New York, Last.Night. Lieut. Wm. C. Babcock of the navy,whcse illness from pneumonia was mentioned in yesterday's Star, died at the University Club in New York city last n'ght. He was appointed to the navy from Kansas. He was graduated from Annapolis Academy in 1S71, the yo :ngest member of his class. He served with distinction as a sea-going offi- cer, with a blameless record in the service. He was popular in Washington society two years ago. He was forty-four years of age’ and a member of the Metropolitan Club, Washington; University Club, New York, and the Seawanahaka Yacht Club. He was the second son of John P. Bab- cock, the distinguished lawyer from Fre- mont, Ohio, and the brother of John P. Babcock, assistant commissioner of fisher- ies from California. His mother, Mrs. W. L. Trumbull, resides at the present time in Columbus, Ohio. It is said he contracted a severe cold while receiving compass instruc- tion at the Navy Department about ten days ago. Funeral services will take place at the Naval Hospital, Brooklyn, Saturday morn- io RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS. San Effort to Pass a Bill to Increase Their Compensation. The House committee on post offices and post roads proposes to make a strenuous effort to pass the bill to increase the com- pensation of railway mail clerks. The com- mittee will advance an array of facts to show that this class of government em- ployes is pre-eminently deserving of the recognition proposed. Railway mail clerks are required to pass an examination rating at more than 9 per cent, their work fs of the most arduous character physically, together with requir- ing the most intense mental application. Moreover, they are in constant danger of their life, and statistics show that the Proportion of mortality among railway mail clerks is greater than that of the troops during the civil war. These em- ployes of the government do not receive the annual leave of absence allowed mors favored servants of the nation. The proposed bill increases the number of classes in the railway mail service and per- mits a range of salaries from $800 to $1,500 per annum. a ° AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c.
