to high command。 

     The corps commander holds the rank of lieutenant general�察�the general 

of division that of major general�察�and the commander of a brigade that of a 

brigadier general。 The regiment of sharpshooters was chosen from the best 

rifle   shots   in   the   division   and   in   war   time   received   double   pay   for   they 

were always at the front of the division and the first to engage the enemy。 

A   one´pounder   rapid´fire   gun   was   attached   to   every   company   and   was

operated by the lieutenant assisted by the company clerk。 In the artillery 

regiment there were twelve batteries�察�six three´inch caliber guns and one 

one´pounder   rapid´fire   gun   to   each   battery�察  �and   as   they   were   under   the 

direct control of the general commanding the division he could mass them 

to   fire   on   any   point   of   attack。   The   privates   were   paid   fifteen   dollars   a 

month�察  �the     corporals   twenty   dollars�察      �the   sergeants    twenty´five     dollars�察�

company        clerks   thirty   dollars�察  �lieutenants     forty   dollars�察  �captains     sixty 

dollars�察   �majors     eighty    dollars�察  �colonels    one    hundred     dollars�察  �brigadier 

generals one hundred and fifty dollars�察�major generals two hundred dollars 

and the lieutenant general three hundred dollars a month�察�and officers and 

privates were allowed the same rations and the same amount of clothing。 

No   fixed   ration   was   issued   on   account   of   climatic   conditions´but   plenty 

and no waste was the rule and every captain and lieutenant had to sit at 

meals with his men and eat the same food。 No violation of this rule was 

allowed and as a result of this common sense regulation the men were well 

fed and provided�察�for every colonel was held to account for the welfare of 

the   men   under   his   command   and   every   officer   up   to   the   rank   of   field 

marshal      could    be  reduced     to   the  ranks    for  violation    of   the  rules   and 

regulations governing the army。 As there was a mailbox under the control 

of the Minister of Information in every military post in which complaints 

were   posted   to   be   sent   to   the   President   it   had   a   very   salutary   effect   in 

keeping the officers attentive to their duty�察�as no officer wanted to lose his 

position and salary and be a private。 All trivial violations of the rules by 

non´commissioned officers and privates�察�such as insolence�察�drunkenness�察�

filthy habits and disorderly conduct�察�could be punished by the captain with 

three   days   on     bread   and   water´but   no   pay   could   be   forfeited       for  any 

offense�察  �for   no   fines   were   allowed   in   the   republic。   For   serious   offenses 

committed by either officer or private in time of peace�察�such as sodomy�察�

crimes   against nature�察  �adultery�察  �seduction�察  �larceny�察 �embezzlement   or   any 

other   felony�察  �the   accused   was   sent   to   the   district   court   for   trial   and   on 

conviction was dismissed the service and committed to prison for the term 

of years provided by the law for the crime he had been convicted of and 

five years additional for perjury�察�he having violated his oath of office that 

he   would   be   honest   and   upright   in   all   things   so   help   him  God�察  �and   any

officer could be reduced to the ranks for conduct unbecoming a gentleman 

as the result of a trial before a jury of twelve men drawn by ballot from 

any   other   command   than   his   own。   No   sashes�察  �jewelry   or   regalia   of   any 

kind was permitted to be worn。 

     Officers and privates were dressed alike and the insignia of rank was 

worn on the collar�察�and no revolvers�察�bayonets�察�sabres�察�swords�察�rapiers or 

lances were allowed to be carried´but every officer was required to carry a 

rifle so that he could not be marked out by the enemy's sharpshooters and 

to   set   an   example   of   good   shooting   to   his   men   when   under   fire。   Every 

soldier seriously injured in the service of his country in time of peace as 

well   as   in   war�察  �received   the   same   pay   and   care   as   if   he   was   still   in   the 

service and if he was killed or died from disease his father and mother or 

either of them�察�as long as they lived。 The army was truly a great industrial 

army�察�for every officer and man was required to work eight hours a day 

and   for   six   days   in   the   week�察  �at   remunerative   labor�察  �and   two   hours   on 

Sundays   at   rifle   practice。   The   rules   and   regulations   governing   the   army 

applied equally to both sexes。 Both boys and girls�察�when drafted into the 

army�察�were first sent to the headquarters of the army corps to which they 

were assigned�察�the boys   mostly afterward to   the department of   railways�察�

mines�察    �commerce        and   agriculture     and   the   girls   to  the   department      of 

finance�察�manufactures�察�education and information�察�distributed all over the 

republic   so   as   to   become   acquainted   with   the   people   in   general�察  �by   so 

doing wiping out sectional feeling and realizing that God was their father 

and   that   they   all   belonged   to   a   common   brother´   and   sisterhood   united 

together   under   a   government   for   the   people�察  �of   the   people�察  �and   by   the 

people。 I paid a visit to the navy yard and inspected two battleships that 

were undergoing some slight repairs to their machinery。 

     One was a second´class battleship and her dimensions and armament 

were   as   follows�此  �Length   five   hundred   and   twenty´five   feet�察  �breadth   of 

beam seventy´five feet�察�draught of water twenty feet and six inches�察�height 

of   gun   deck   from  the   water   line   twelve   feet�察  �armament�此  �ten   twelve´inch 

caliber guns mounted in turrets on the center line of the ship。 The turrets 

were   bolted   to   the   deck�察  �five   of   them   forward   and   five   aft�察  �and   were 

eighteen      feet  in  diameter�察    �eight   feet   high�察  �with   a  slope    from   deck    to

parapet of thirty degrees and made of armor steel twelve inches thick。 One 

gun in each turret and the guns could swing around on four´fifths of the 

circle�察�so that every gun could be brought to bear on an enemy either to 

port   or   starboard。   No   other   guns   were   carried   in   time   of   war   and   no 

cruisers�察�torpedo boats�察�or torpedoes were used�察�for experience in war had 

shown that they were useless waste of men and money。 The battleship was
