THE QUEENS SWANS.
EnGiand's Monarch Has an Odd
Partnership i'm Cygnets

The swans on the Thames are as much
a part of it's scenery as its grasses and
sedges and piers. They breed up the riv-
er. The lowest place they have a nest
is Cheswick. Along the banks of the riv-
er men are paid TO look after them in
nesting time, and they place straw and
little bits of stick and dried grass about
for the birds.
AS a matter of fact the swans on the
Thames belong to the Queen. the Vint-
ners' Company and the Dyers' Company,
for hundreds of years.
Victoria's swankeeper is a son of the
swankeeper to the Vintner's Company,
and the way this father and son of the
family of Abnett manage the swans of
the Thames should afford some sugges-
tions to the swankeepers of Chicago, says
the Chronicle
First of all, it must be understood that
a swans egg is of goodly proportions,
equal in size to three hens eggs and sug-

WAR PRISONERS BOUND HOME
CerverHs Sailors Aboard Ship for
Their Own Land.


New York, Sept. 10.-Released from
their nominal confinement at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, fifty Spanish OFF,
GERS who were captured when Cervera's
ships were sent to the bottom arrived In
this city yesterday and went on board
the City of Rome, which will sail today
for Portsmouth, n. H., to pick up the
sailors of the lost feet and then proceed
to Santander, Spain. There was jollifi-
cation in the saloon of the big Anchor
liner over the thought of returning home,
and officers clinked glasses in honor of
their departure.
Even the sick and wounded sailors who
arrived the steamer Old Dominion
from the hospital at Norfolk on Thurs
day, and who are cooped up in the steer
age. in an improvised sick bay aft on the
City of Rome, frightened up every time
a word was said about their return home.
OF the forty-four men from the hospital
DR.. Gomez, one of the surgeons in charge,
told me that twenty-five We're "muy
malo"-very sick-and that the others
are convalescent. He said that one poor
fellow, who occupied cot on the main
deck, would never live to see his native
land and that two others were hopeless
cases. Among the convalescents were
their arms in sings and several who hob
bled about on crutches.
About half of the sailors were dressed
in regulation duck suits. The others wore
many colored pajamaS. the gifts of the
Women's War Relief Association.
Commander Jose Maria Paredes. for
merly second in command of the Maria
Teresa. was the senior officer of the party
that arrived from Annapolis yesterday.
They came over the Pennsylvania Rail-
read, and took the ferryboat TO West
, Twenty-third Street They went immedi-
ately TO the City of Rome, at the adjoin-
ing pier. All were in citizens Clothes.
Many of the officers were young men and
they laughed and chatted together. ThJ y
seemed TO have forgotten their experienc
in front of the guns of Sampson fleet at
, Santiago.
Breakfast was served on the ship upon
their arrival.
In the afternoon the officers left the
ship and took look at the city. Parties
of them rode about in surface cars in
open-eyed wonder at the tall buildings.
The contract provides for the feeding of
the men by the steamship line the well
sailors To have a diet similar to that
given them in the Spanish navy, and the
sick men to be given special food under
the direction of the surgeons.
Captain Eulate Of the NiZcaya: Captain
Concas. of the Maria Teresa. and Lieut..
Commander AZuan, of the lme hip, will
go on board the City of Rome this morn
ing.
Admiral Cervera will join the others at
Portsmouth. The ship will probably get
away at noon today.

How Real Peace May Come.
Marceiino Arrange, president of the Re-
tail Provision Merchants Association,
said:
my opinion is simply this: If Spain
believes that by making peace she has
saved her higher Interests. then say tie
has done well and deserves our support.
We the shopkeepers on the island, have
as Spaniards supported Internationally
the government of the Queen Regent be-
cause to us it represented the traditions
and lives and blood that were sacrificed
to us. But now in the same spirit In
which We have always responded and
supported Spain we today sadly but re-
signedly yield to the inevitable and are
willing to acQuiesce in the peoples wishes
for ceding the island to the United States
Independence Is simply out of the ques-
ton. 1t would not guarantee order AID
peace, and 1t would be the victim Oh 1t
self. Many prominent Cubans have tod
me during the last three years that the
most unfortunate thing that could have
happened to the business and property
interests of the island would be to recog-
nize Cuban independence.
Would you prefer annexation to pro-
tectorate?" / asked.
"If you could, one by one, ask all the
merchant retailers proprietors. manufac-
turers and plantation owners for an ex-
preston of opinion on that subject-the
men who represent all the wealth and
riches of the island-I am sure that s5
per cent of them would answer without

Gnrnishers Have Now Appeared
Every now and then some woman hits
upon a plan of earning living which is

vases are washed and ,.Ie flowers put

simple enough. but when one remembers
that all these flowers must be selected

THE SICK LEAVING CAMP.
The GeE ernl Hospital at Montauk To
BE Abandoned.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point l.. l..
Sept 1O.-There will be only few more
days of the general hospital here. Secre-
tary of War Alger realizes that the pa
tients who now lie in the wards of canvas
will suffer untold suffering if they are
permitted to remain here many days long
err The order destined to wipe out the
general hospital came yesterday, when
Col. Forwood received this dispatch from
Surgeon General Sternberg:
Send sick to New York and Brooklyn
hospitals as soon as possible
AS the result of the order Major Ira c.
Brown, chief surgeon of the general hos
pital. sent 800 patients out OF his wards
last night on the steamboat Shinnecock
and the yacht Red Cross. The vessels ar
rived in New York at O'Clock this morn
ing.
The Red Cross carried men intended for
Roosevelt Hospital only, while the Shin
necock had men who are destined for New
York and Brooklyn.
A H. Smith. a former assistant sur
geon in the United States army wrote a
letter to Major Brown a few days ago
from Elberop. n. j.. in which he called
attention TO the fact that within a few
days there would be heavy winds here,
and that the nights would be exceedingly
cold
Howard Townsend. who is here In
charge of the Red Cross work learned of
this letter. and wrote TO SECRETARY Of War
Alger. urging the necessity OF getting the
, i'll men away from here at the earliest
possible moment. Surgeon General Stern
bergs dispatch was the answer.
Col. Forwood quickly began the work
of singing out the men to be sent to
New York. These were transferred 10
! the Shinnecock and Red Cross in ambI-
| lances and IL is believed they will expe-
rience no hrouble.
Major Brown said: This order of Gen.
| Sternberg practically means the closing
| up of the hospital We have about 70I
men here and l think that within "a week
we can get rid of all of them. | propose
! having these men go away from here in
the most comfortable way possible. We
will send all we can on the steamboats,.
The Red Cross is beautifully fitted up
In addition to these there was report
| ed dead in an outside hospital, conducted
by an association called the international
Brotherhood. a man named Guy Kosht,
whose regiment and the cause of whose
death were not given. Kosht is said TO
have died three days ago
Col. Forwood received word today from
Surgeon General Sternberg that he had
| received this dispatch from Chief Sur
geon Havard, al Santiago, dated Septem-
ber 6:
The Vigilancia sails today with III
! convalescents and others OF the Fifth
Corps and twenty-five nurses, who are
