The following orplanation of the object of the experiment appeared in the San Francisca Chronicle a few days previous to the event.
When the word is passed the machete in pailed from the scabbard with an upward stroke diagonally to the right, with the long starp etgo toward the enemy. The stroke in nimodal the ablemen of the person attacked, with the intent af wounding the body below the waist. Then, with the weapon raised to the full length of the right arm, the wrist is simply turned over and the machete makes a stroke lack to the left, ao as to slash the victim's neck, and, if possible, partially hehead him. With one more turn of the wrist the edge of the inachota strikes downward, cleaving the body again.
This done with wonderful dexterity, and these strokes are the easiest to learn of all made with edged weapons. In the hands of the in- surgorts, habitated to the dro of the macheta and who aro very strong, these blows are fright fully effective and a machete wound is usually Istal. The battle of Dara, in which se many Spaniards were decapitated and which was the blocalest in Guban history, was won by machetes. against the best American Springfald rides in the hands of the Spanisrde. The Cubans, hovor, have purchased a number of Bem- ingten and Mesor rifles, and are making overy effect to encourage their countrymon in the oss of gune.
