DAY AS A PRISONER
Annapolis Crowded With People
Anxious to See the Officers Who
Made the Gallant Dash From San
tiagO - Eulate, of the Vizcaya,
refuses to Sign the Pledge of
Parole for "A Technical Reason.

ANNAPOLIS, July 17.AMaryland's
ancient capital was crowded today with
curiosity seekers who came from Bal
timore, Washington and elsewhere by
rail All by water III the hope of get
ting peep at Admiral Cervera and
the men who fought and lost in the
great naval fight off Santiago. Those
who reached here early in the morn
ing were rewarded for their trouble,
as nearly all the prisoners including
the admiral, attended services at st.
Mary's Roman Catholic church. where
they offered up thanks for their de-
liverance from the fate that overlook
so many Of their less fortunate com
rades who fell before the relentless fire
or the American guns on July g.
The church, which is the only one
of the Roman Catholic denomination
in Annapolis, is one OF the landmarks
of the city, and embraces In it's men,
bership some of the most prominent
and aristocratic of Annapolis people

Brothers, is handsome structure and
is thought to possess one of the hand
soonest interiors of any religious edi-

This mornings services were con-
Quoted by Brother John, one of the
most prominent of the Order OF Re-
demptorists, in the presence CT a con-
gregation which taxed the capacity of
the edfice to its utmost Probably 10
service held within its VS. lis for many
years possessed so great an interest or
made more profound impression upon
those who attended It,
Upon the close of the services the Of
f1cers returned to the naval academy
and spent the balance of the day in
strolling about the grounds or loung-
ing on the broad piazzas which sur
round most of the buildings in which
the prisoners are quartered. They ale
rapidly becoming accustomed to their
surroundings and seem chereful and
contented
Ample provision has been made for
their comfort, their food is plentiful
and of the best quality, and clothes
will be provided for them as they may
need.
Capt Eulate, of the Vizcaya, has
thus far refused to sign the parole
pledge. His reason for 1t is that AG-
miral Cervera was only required to
give verbal promise and that his
(Eulate's) rank entities him to the same
privilege. The authorities here have
no doubt that the matter will be ami
cably arranged and that the scrupies
of the gallant officer may be over
come.
