Chairmen Simmons for a aarlea of po
litlcal soolal aawmolaeoa, partaking of
the picnic nature, to be held at various
points througliont Um Mats, appears
to be s good uoe. There never was a
time when there was more need that
the people abonlil be brought clone to
gether end talk over matters lo a social
way- This will give occasion for a
batter understanding about many mut
ter* over which there art now es
trangements. and this better under
standing among fellnw-rltlaens will be
worth more than political speeches.
There have hesu many alleneti na In

way of clearing them op than by tbc

HpenUh prisoners who were brought to
Ihl* port In the auxiliary cruisor tit.
J»ui*. from gsnllago. numbering C92
of lbe men who formed pert of the
crew of Admiral Cervera** Hoot, are
to-night sleeping peacefully and In
comparative comfort in the new bar
racks erected for them on deevey'*
I (laud. Among them Is a guard of
123 marluee, the pick of the marine
barracks on the Atlantic coast. It was
a pathetic sight from beginning tu end, I
iiud inch aa would bring teen to many
eye*. The poor, wretched creatures
struggled up the hillside, clad for the
most part in rage, some of tho men
being covered only with the fragments
of a table cloth, or a blanket, while
others had on portlous of wbat was
once a uniform. When the mou laud
ed, some of them were so wesk that
they could nut stand and lay ou the
ground until stretchers were brought,
and by the aid nf their comrades wem
carried tu the main rood, wham they
were placed on the graaa.
Many of the prisoners had wouuds
that were still unhealed and their
beads and arms showed the effect* of
the terrible battle In which thry
fought, this crew of the Cristobal
Colon were landed In a body. Tfaey
were better clad and evidently better
fed than the other men. for they bore
a resemblance of the Spanish sailor In
make-up. Thirty member* of the Col
on's crew, howtivrr. were aeverely
wounded, and had In bo carried on
stretchers.
The unloading of tlx motley crowd
was witnessed by thniiaaods of people
on shore and In boats, sod it may be
•aid with all alccerlty that daring the
two hours occupied with tho task not
a sneer or a Jeer was beard.
The most interesting part of tbe
landing of tbs men was tbe duty per
formed by Captaiu E. Dies Moron, of
tlx Cristobal Colon, lbs once hearty
and Jovial officer, the favorite captain
of tlx Spanish navy, standing oo tbe
heights near where tbe men came
•shore, clad In a tattered uniform of
white duck trousers and blue coal,
book In baud, tlx mustering oitioer of
tbs Spanish prisoners. Ills heavy voice
called out the uamra of tlx prisoners
aud credited each to the vessel to
wlrlcb tbe Individual was ooce a mem
ber.
Wbeu tho master out. ns It seemed
to bn, was Ontsbed, the men were
formad in Hue and marched Into the
temporary barracks which will serve
ss » prison for them. Of tho number
leaded 40 have been taken to the hos
pital, suffering for the must part from
wounds, while not a few are victims of
minor ills.
One of the most touclilug Incidents
of the dsy was tbe farewell Captain
Moron took of bis crew before he went
beck to the fit. Louts. Few who saw
the tcodarness with which tbe former
big bearted and jovial commander
walked down the line and affection
ately embraced each seaman as It he
was his ODljr son, oould not refrain
from tears.
Captaiu Moron turned to tbo Ameri
can officer and asked permission U> say
a few parting words to his raeu. The
request was readily granted, but Capt.
Morou, Instead of making a formal and
eloquent sddrtes to tbe line, walked up
to tbe man at tbe head of It and taking
him warmly by tbe hand, tenderly
kissed tlx grim sailor on tbs cheek.
When the men saw th« action of Uxir
commander, they wept as if their
Hearts would break, sod as the captain
walked dawn tbe line, (baking each by
the band and kissed each son-burned
clxek, each man threw bis arms around
tbe commandor’e neck and gave him a
hearty embrace.
Wboc finally the captain reached Die
end of the long line, be turned and In
a voice shaking with (motion, aald a
few words of rare well to tbe .crew as a
whole. At he (lnlshed the half-clad
men surrounded him, grasping bis arms
aed legs, all trying for one lest
embrace.

The following extract from General
Lane’e history of Lane’s brigade not
only mentions a lose of 20 per cent, of
that heroic body In tbo short (pace of
twenty minutes In their eaten It on
Kcama’* Station, hot alio abowa that
wire fences were In tits even In those
days aa one of tbe means of delaying
tbe mar. of an Attacking column:
“At lteama’a Station,-led the
brigade in that memorable charge In
which It lost one-fifth of Its number In
twenty mlontee, ormwllng through the
abattle, and cutting through tlie fences
of telegraph wlr* which protected tbe
redoubt In front of the brigade sod In
which the enemy bed mussed artillery.
Here tbe men under-performed
the novel feet of fllegtog dust, aa they
sprang over tbe work, lu tbo eyes of
the defenders.”
So there ten't so much new under
the planst Mars »■ one might think,
though tbe wire with which the Span
iards were credited with having an
olreled tlielr blockhouses and ride pita
wee of tbe barbed variety, and Inven
tion of later date that tha civil war.
Curiously, by the way, we haven’t aeer
any account of those dreaded barbed
wlrs fsnots being .lotnally encountered
In tha battle before Santiago, ft will
be remembered that shortly before

Wa will bava all kinds at mouey sad

will be limited only by tbe demands of

Those sending the InltiMll-iri fen of $11)
wilt make them payable to my order.
There will be no tax on whiakay sod

expect tbit happy clause to bring many
recruits. Tbe fee of $10 should be re
mitted as early as possible In order to
secure proper registration. Every mao

office. Tbe law* on this subject will
call for oompuleory offlce-boldins. At

ticket will be printed the name of the
offloe which he i* to hold. The ticket
will Us his certIUoatH of election. In
tills way a mau can trade or “swap”
his offloe. In order to get the thing In
working order, every 1‘opclim is North

ed to seod ms Slu us a matter or good

scud no reoelpte, as the expense would

Is adopted in order tn have all charter

great deal of mall to corns my way

As the Island I expect to secure al

A rumor, too absurd to be believed.
General, ascribes the reason of your
mvaanrve and of the order* forbidding
toy army to enter Santiago for fear of
massacres and revenge against tbe
Spautard*. Allow me. air. to protest
auaiust even tbe shadow of such an
idea. We are not savages, Ignoring
the mice of civilized warfare. We are
a poor ragged army, aa ragged and as
pour as was tbe array of your forefath

In view ef all lUtee reasons, I sin
I oerely regret to bo uosbla to falttU any
longer the orders of oey government,
and therefor* I have tendered today to
the oonuDandar-lo-cbtef of tbe Cuban

my resignation aa commander of this

Awaiting hla resolution, I withdraw
