V Iri uiIe Ni) lt 'lfer ThHii a Troclia.
The triangle has failed Spain in Cuba,'
as three trochas had previously failed
her. If the:triangle had not been red
dened with gore between the time of
its formation and that of its. disruption,'
we might have smiled at it without,
compunction. It was of Spanish make,
wrought by Weyler, broken bv Gomez.
We cannot understand how the Havana
censor permitted us to get the account
of it which we printed yesterday in
The Sun. j - ;
It was a thing to which Spain resort
ed after the several trochas had proved
to be worthless. .The first of the
Spanish commanders sent by pain to
Cuba to crush the revolution determin
ed to use the trocha for that purpose.
A trocha is a line; of troops stretching
from one point to another, which the
enemy is unable to cross, or w hich he
ought not to be able to cross, if it is
good for anything. The first trocha
ran from Puerto Principe, near the cen
tre of Cuba, to the vicinity of Santiago,
in the far esst, and was designed to
pre.yent the revolutionists-from leaving
their quarters in. the last named quar
ter. It slanted in an easterly direction
from the north to the south, and' as
there is a well guarded railroad be
tween the point it whicjr.it started and
the coast line, it pay be said to have 1
streched across j the island from the
upper to the lower seaboard. : The
revolution was cooped up cornered,
behind a Spanisli. wall; " it could only
await the death below. To make
thinsrs surer than ever, a second trocha
was set up, and it ran alongside the
first, at some distance off. slanting
nearly.the same ' way, avoiding the
morasses, the thickly wooded grounds,
and the rocky places. There was now.
a double trocha from where the Span
ish flag waved defiance at Nuevitas to
a poiiit situated at a safe distance from
Saniirgo, near which the revolution
then encamped, j It was aboutthis time
that Gomez, accompanied by that gal
lant leader Jose Marti and by Antonia
Maceo, began to think of starting out
in a westerly direction, from which the
revolution, had f been barred by the
long and the strong line of Spanish
troops. The record of their hard
march through and beyourid the two
trochas was one of suprise fcfr M.artinez
Campos. They turned both of them
they captured Spanish forts and garri
sons upon what had been regarded as
the side safe "for Spain; they served
themselves vvith Spanish arms; they
got far into the province of Puerto
Principe, leaving behind them the
trochas,which were unable to catch up
with them. It was the rainy season,
but thev cared no more for that than
for the swamps, forests, and rocky
places. Spanish military science was
knocked out of its trochas in the first
campaign of the revolution. ;
Soon afterward the Spanish com
mander struggled back to the capito!,
which he deter.nided to defend by
another trocha, Ian impregnable one,

vaiia on the northern seaboard to Bata-

might be, and he would not tell. He
gave" a hint once when he spoke of his
resources, but it was darker than his
negro guard. ' Now, at least, we have
found out what it was. It was the
triangle. This was tried, last, week
aeainst the revolution, as we learn
from a, Spanish official report trans

i Maceo, were about to form a junction
j near Havana, for reasons unknown,
but suspected. He formed a scientific
military Spanish .plan for thwarting
their design. He got out three columns
of loyal troops, calvary, artillery - and
infantry, and- extended his lines to",
ward the revolutionists in the shape o
a triangle. His purpose was to induce
the revolution to walk, or rather ride,
for it is on horseback, into the triangle,
which would then close in upon it, so
to speak, the three arms of the Spanish
service moving simultaneously inward
toward one point, and thus putting an
end to the whole tiling. The triangle
must have looked like a, masterpiece
to VVeyler after he had drawn it on
paper, with the defunct revolution near
the middle of it.
How did ft go ? We could not trust
ourselves to tell. We prefer to take
the Spanish report which had been
sent to us after it had been scrutinized
by the official censor at Havana: ;
..... "From all that can be learned, it
seems that Gomez must have pushed
one side of the triangle back, while
Maceo pushed back another side of it,
so that the insurgents passed out
easily." " -
. What is that ?, Why, it is Weyl.er's
busted triangle, smashed by the revo
lution as soon as, it was. made, knocked
into Hinders by. Gomez and Maceo:
We learn from the censor that there
was but little fighting m the triamrle
and that the Spanish- loss upon all
tin ee sides of it and in the centre; was
under 160 men. The triangle so the

pursuit of the revolution, whichj 'how
ever, as .was subsequently ascertained,
had struck'out m a westerly direction
in order that Gomez and Maceo misrht
join forces there, as they had originally
intended. At the last accounts they
were looking for the, remains of the
Spanish triangle.
This; was the first time that the
triangle had been tried by VVeyler as a

Weyler may conclude that the triangle
is not yet played out as an enemy o
Cuba. He may draw another, better
than the first one, and seek to inveigle
Gomez inside of it until it closes upon
him. instead of his demolishing it in
the. first instance, then rushing off in a
direction, that the triangle man had
never thought of.
inyfiow, me revolution has now
found out the nature of the thing which
Weyler iiad prepared for the purpose
of giving it the death below. We also
have the satisfaction of knowing some
thing about it. We might be disposed

It has been found out, after ; at leas

Pictures Engraved oa ii Needle.
Whenever a very small tool is want
ed for a delicate piece , of work the
craftsman gets a needle and sets it. in
a little handle. That is usually quite
fine enough for him. But what, would
you think of tools a hundred times
smaller than a neefclle? Over in a big
needle factory in England a workman
with a firm hand and a true, eye took a
needle, such as your mother sews with
and drilled a hole from the butt :end
lengthwise through it to the point,
making it a hollow tube. What do
vou think of that for fine work? And
after it was done if yon had examined
it you wouldn't have Seen any change
in it at all unless you had used a mi
croscope. Another workman performed a feat
just as wonderful. On the out side of
a needle he engraved with a tool, so
fine that you could not see it's point,
many pictures representing events in
the life of Queen Victoria since she
ascended the throne. This was pre
sented to the queen but she was unable
to see the picture until shej was sup
plied with a microscope. Chicago
