Tho Spanish prisonew who wcro hiought to this pnrt in tho' Auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, froin Santiago, nmnber- ing 692 of tho men who formed art of the' crew of Admiral Cuvera's fleot, are to-night sleeping peaceful ly and in comparative comfort in tlie new hatr.ieks- erected for them on Seavcy's Island. Among them is a guard of 125 marines, the pick of the marine barrncks on the At lantic ; coast, tt was a pathetic sight! from beginning to end, and such as would hriiig tears to many eyes. The poor, wretched creatures struggled up the hillside,-' clad for the most paiCin rags, somo of the men being covered only with the fragments of a table cloth, or , a blanket, while others had on por tions of what was once a uniform. When the men landed, sonic of them were so weak that they , could not stand and lay on tho. ground until stretchers were brought, and by the aid of their comrades were enrriod to the main road, . where they were placed on the grass. , Many of. the prisoners had wounds that were still unhealed and thoir heads and aims showed the ef fects of tho terrible battle in which they fought. The crew of the Cristobal Colon were landed in a body' -'They were better clad and evidently better fed than the other men, for they bore ft resemblance of the." Spanish sailor in . uuke-up. Thirty membersoTl Ihe Colon's crew, ''however, were severely wounded, and had to be carried on stretchers. , ' ,' The unloading of the motley crowd was witnessed by thousands Lof people on shore and in boats, and it may be said with all sincerity that during the two .hours occupied with the task not a sneer or a jeer was heard. , The most interesting part of the landing of the men was. the duty performed by Captain E. Dia Morou, of the Cristobal Coloij the once hearty and jdvial officer, the favorite captain of the Spanish navy, standing on the height near where the man came ashore, clad in a tat tered uniform of white duck trousers and bine coat,- book in hand, the mustering officer of tho' Spanish prisoners. Ilia heavy voice called out the names of the prisoners and credited each to the vessel to which the individual was once a member. When the muster out, as it seem ed to be, was finished, tlie men were formed in line and marched into the temporary barrack which will serve as a piison for them. Of the num ber landed 40 have been taken to the hospital, suffering tin; most "part from wounds, while'not a few are victims of minor ills. . . One of te most touching inci dents of the day was the farewell Captain Morou took of his crew be fore be went back to the St. Louis. Few who saw the tenderness with which the former big hearted and jovial commander walked down the line and affectionately embraced each seamaa-as if he was his only son, coald refrain from tears. . Capt, Morou turned to the Ameri can officer and asked permission to say a few parting words to his men. The reqaest was readily granted, hut Capt Morou, instead of making a formal and eloquent address to the line, walked up to the man at the head of it and taking liim warmly by the him, tenderly kissed the gnm sailor on us cneea. u nen the men saw the 'action of their commander, they wept as if their hearts would break, and as the cap tain walked down the line, shaking each by lbs hand and kieJ each sun-burned cheek, each man threw his arms s round the commander's neck and gars him a bearty em brace. , , , When finally the captain reached the end of the long line, lie turned and in a voice shaking with emo tion, said a few words of farewell to the crew as a whole As he finish ed the half-clad men surrounded him. rasping hi anna and all TEHRITOKY OJ?

HAWAIIAN LEGEND, The natives think little of the way most of us have of accounting for tho existence of these delightful islands, insisting rather that Manui fished them tip with a hook from the place McGinty went to. Pelo is the goddess of volcanoes, and at limes has been guilty of grots neg lect of her duty. Odd, too, that she hasn't got the hang or them, since gods have existed since the "Time of Night" One of the duties of the priesthood, by the way, was to re member ihe legends of the gods They also exorcised evil spirits forja consideration. And, speaking o1 spirits, the earth, sky and sea used to swarm with them, uiitil the poor native" hardly dared set his foot down for fear of fracturing the spirit of an ancestor. Judging from an expurgated folk lore, the Polynesians probably emi grated from Asia 500 years before Chi ist During the deluge their an cestors took to canoes instead of the orthodox ark : but a woman was made from a rib of the first ipan. TUK ORIGINAL NAMK. ' One is glad to know that their original name, Sandwich Islands) was giyen them, not because pf the natives' cannibalistic tendencies, but rather because Lord Sandwich was the patron of their discoverer, Capt Cook. Cook, by tho way, discov ered them while sent on a voyage to observe tho transit of Venus in 1778, so, of course, ihe Hula 'lancers came as a surprise to him. Some thing of a come-down, eh? The chief christened bim and his sailors Haolb (wbito hogs), which wasn't ao far off, in view of their, subse quent actions, though . the chief meant it as a compliment However there was a chance for improvement in tlie natives themselves which they have , embraced. Though above widow murder, patricide anJ canni balism, morality, aar and infanti cide were harder to resist The missionaries who took them in band in 1820 found tbey had already de serted thtir national god.

Washington, D. C, July 15, '98. Had there been lets monkeying with flags of truco and more co operation between Gen. Shatter and Admiral Sampson in tho campaign against Santiago, tho Washington officials would not now be nearly frightened out of their wits by the appearance in the field of Spain's long expected ally, "Yellow Jack." While our army and navy were wait ing for tho Spanish army in San tiago to surrender, the Spaniards were hurrying refugees out of the town- into our lines, with tho knowl edge that some of them would be certain to carry tho yellow fever along widi them. It was probably owing to the panic in which some of the officials were thrown by the news that the yellow fever had mado its appearance in our army and that it was allowed to become public. But not one word can he had of ficially as to the extent of tho out look or in what pdrtion of our army it is, further than tho admission that there are fourteon cases in tho field hospital and some additional cases elsewhere. This is one case in which the censor does more harm than good. . Sinco it is known that tho yellow fever is in our army, it would be much wiser to allow the exact facts'to bo stated than by sup pressing them to cause the public to ioiftgino it much worse that it really is. There can be little public re joicing over ths taking of Santiago until our people ore assured that is no danger of yellow fever 'becoming epidemic in our army. Admiral Dewej, tho one com mander who is not hampered by or ders from Washingtod, has been at ogam and the result is another victory, with the demolition of the Spaniards. The victory was won by theTcruisers Raleigh and Con cord, and without the loss of a man or injury to either vessel. A Ger man gunboat might also havo been demolished if its commander had not been wise enough to get out of the way before the Americans began to bombard. This German had sot himself up as the protector of this particular fort, going so far-as to threaten to fire on tho insurgents if they attacked it- The insurgents roportedlhat to Dewey and that's why he sent the Raleigh and Con cord to capture it. Later the Uer man Commander tried to explain his meddling to , Dewey by saying that he acted- in the causo of hu manity. Ho wanted Dewey to take charge of a ot of refugees that he had on his gunboat, but Dewey told him he had better keep them -since he bad taken them.

The problem ahead of the commission is somewhat like that which confronted the white people in some of ths Southern States in reconstruction times ths comission is expected to recommend legisla tion that will give the Hawaii con trol of its local affairs and at the same time make it certain that the control is exercised by reputable citizens of tho islands.

The gprinattie-ld BtSe All night. .WssbJnaton Dispatch. The ordinance officers of the army are indignant at the statements that have appeared in the press, some of them attributable to high army of fleers, questioning the merits of the Springfield rifle with which a large proportion of the United Stated army is armed. These statements, they say, are calculated to do in finite harm among the volunteer forces, though the regulars know and like the old Springfield too well to distrust it now. The principal argument made against its employ ment by the critics is that its short range enables the Spanish, armed with Mausers, to pick off eur men long before they get within range of the Springflelds. This is said to be based upon error. Ths Spring'' J has a range of 3,400 yards, whkh Ls only a fen hundred short of t' ) Mauser, and the former s b:g J grain bullet is said to havo jr- t killing power at the ilong rar. trying (r one hurt embrace.
