PRISONERS SAIL FOR SPAIN.
The 254 Taken on Prize Steamers
Left Yesterday After Cheer
ing Old Glory.

NEW YORK, July 2i-Prisoners of war
cheering the flag of their captors was the
unusual sight witnessed at the Union dock
in Brooklyn to-day. The sight was all the
more significant as the cheers came from
Spanish throats.
The 254 prisoners captured on the four
prize steamers now in port were about to
sail for home under the British flag. They
were on board the Hesperia, of the Anchor
line. and. just as she backed out Of the
dock, one of the patrol gunboats came
by. With one accord the prisoners raised
three mighty cheers, which startled the
people on the Brooklyn shore and could be
heard on Governors island. 1t was the best
they could do in thanking Uncle Sam for
the kindness lavished on them while they
were prisoners.
The Hesperia left at 5 p. M. bound for
Italian ports. She will put the prisoners
on shore at Gibraltar. The prisoners were
a happy lot and their appearance showed
that they had been well treated while in
enforced idieness.
Among the 254 prisoners were six officers
They have saloon accommodations, while
the others are in the steerage.
One of the Spanish officers said:
IF our men in the field realized either
the hopelessness of our cause or the treat
ment they would get at the hands of the
Americans they would not fight long. The
quickest and easiest way to reach home is
to surrender. l believe in fighting where
there is chance. but our blockaded SOL
diers don't know We have not a chance.
They can get home quicker by surrender
ing and, in the meantime, be well fed and
taken care of. But they think the Amer
leans will murder Them.
The Austrian consul paid $17 head for
the passage of each of the prisoners.

while in New York. in arranging with the
Merritt & Chapman Wrecking Company
for the execution Of the plans he had pre-
pared for saving the vessels. The
wreckers have promised to get to-
gether the pontoons, air bags and
compressed air apparatus which will
be used to light and right the ships and
expect this material for Santiago from
New York on a fast vessel within three
days. Lieutenant Hobson is confident that,
il the work can be undertaken before a
hurricane sets in, 1t will result success
fully.

entirely feasible to him Gong). The pro-
posed plan involves methods and appIi-

in wrecking. They necessitate the use of
air appliances of various kinds in righting

before have been used on vessels of the
size and weight of the Colon, and although
there is some doubt of its success the
navy department officials think the prize
well worth the experiment. Lieutenant

Our Woolwich correspondent writes: "A
