OFFICERS TO DE WELL TREATED
Preparations to Make Them Comfort
able at Annapolis.

Annapolis, Md, July 10-Capt. p. II.
Cooper superintendent OF the Naval
Academy has completed his preparations
for the care of the eighty Spanish officers,
including Admiral Cervera, recently cap
tured off Santiago.
He announced to-day that he expected
the arrival of forty of the prisoners to-
morrow, and that the remainder would
reach here within a week.
1t is probable that all will be put on
their parole and allowed the fullest use of
the beautiful grounds for promenade and
other purposes.
The buildings to be occupied by them
are known as Goldsborough Row, ana lie
on the southeastern section of the acade-
my, between the old mess hall and the
gymnasium
Each room will quarter two officers. ard
each officer will have a bed to himself
There are wardrobes and closets for their
clothes IN each room; chairs and a large
square table in the center of the room
with a hanging gas lamp over 1t, with an
improved burner
Walters will attend to the rooms and
take care Of the apartments. The prison
ers will be under the patrol of a marine
guard Of forty. For the present their com
missary will be Steward Thomas Evans
Paymaster Looms, VINO was ordered away
this week TO Portsmouth, as commissary
for the prisoners there, is expected to re-
turn here and assume the management of
tile food supply Of the Spanish officers.
1t Is a singular coincidence that the
Spanish naval officers should be quartered
in the very alma mater Of the men who
gave them so signal a defeat and made
them prisoners. Amongst those who re-
Gently occupied these quarters are Lleuts.

been no truce whatever, the Spaniards
have not been Idle. They have been

lean army can bring into play, some or
their guns are of antiquated pattern and
not capable of much damage. but others
are very different and capable of excellent
work. One finch gun which had so per-
feet a range during the battle of San Juan
of many ridges occupied by the American
troops has been located with especial care
by the American gunners and it Will be the
recipient of much attention when hostlh-
ties reopen.
Gen. Bates division. which holds the
extreme left of the line, moved forward
to-day to a new position, 400 yards IN ao-
vance of its former line. 1t was, since the
battle of San Juan, planted along the edge
of a preceptious ravine, the walls OF
which we're about eighty feet high.
This ravine is about 100 yards long ana
about 400 wide. Gen. Bates has now
n owed the Twentieth Infantry to the eide
of the ravine nearest Santiago and has
placed the Third Infantry which, with
the Twentieth, forms his brigade, at right
angles to the line of the Twentieth Inc
extreme left of his line, which is the eN-
treme left of the American army, is ABOUT
opposite the upper end of Santiago har-
hor and from four to six miles from the
coast line.
When hostilities are opened by the bonn
bardment great things are expected from
the navy. Admiral Sampson Is quoted
throughout the army as saying that he
will drop one shell into the city every hve
minutes. and if that is not sufficient 70
Go the work. he viii drop one into the ciiy
every two minutes. The fire, in additioh

Sraniards to a point where they viii sur
render.
Gen. Hawkins, commanding the first ori-
gade Of Gen. Kent's division, who was
wounded in the foot during the attack
made on our lines Saturday night by the
Snaniards. has returned to the United
States.
Col. Theaker of the Sixteenth Infantry
has succeeded Gen Hawkins in command
Of the brigade, and Col. Wood of the
Rough Riders will succeed Gen. Young.
Lieut. Col. Roosevelt will command the
Rough Riders hereafter
Sixteen Spanish prisoners who were
wounded were turned over to the Span
Iards yesterday afternoon. DR.. Goodfei-
low and Capt Drier escorted the ambu-
lances and the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press accompanied them. The Span
iards displayed great gratitude for this
kindness, and there was considerable fra
ternizlng, In which the Spaniards' desire
for peace stood out like a headlight in
fog. There is no doubt that the subordi-
nate Spanish officers are anxious to sur
render. but they practically said that upon
Gen. ToraTs decision they would rest.
They admitted that they were short of
provisions, but all appeared TO be deter
mined and resolute and willing to die, il

COAST SENTINELs ON THE ALERT
voyage OF the st. Louis Reported
All Along the Ltne.

Washington, July 10.-The st. Louis ar
rived to-day at Portmouth. N. H. with
800 Spanish enlisted sailors and forty OIL
GERS, captured from Cervera's squadron.
Her coming was heralded by the United
States coast signal service. The fidelity
with which the course of the big ship
was traced and reported to the navy de-
partment at short intervals from the mo-
ment that sho was first sighted off the
coast affords a striking Illustration Of
the perfection which this branch of the
naval service has attained under the en-
ergetic direction of Capt. Bartlett.
Every life saving station and every
lighthouse on the coast which sighted the
ship flashed its report by telephone and
telegraph straight into the Headquarters
ot the service in the navy department,
where skilled operators are on duty every
minute of the day and night
Ih@ incident is gratifying as showing the
remote danger of any hostile ship ap-
preaching United States ports without the
knowledge of the navy department.

unwilling passengers on the st. Louis He
Will not remain at Portsmouth however.
AS soon as the enlisted men are landed
on SeaYy's Island in the quarters pre-
pared for them he, with the officers of
his squadron, save the surgeons who will
be left with the men, win be sent to An
napolis, to be confined within the limits of
the Naval Academy reservation.

prepared very comfortable quarters for
the prisoners In the cadet buildings and

rteary Long a s to the exact measure of in
diligence to be shown his charges.
The bringing of Admiral Cervera to the
United States does not signify that the
proposition to parole him has been fnallv
dismissed. 1t has been simply postponed
for time, though 1t may be surmised that
the admiral will be much more comforta-
bic here until the feeling of unnatural
resentment displayed against him In spaIn
has subsided.

In Two Years She Will Rank Third
Among the Power. Of the World.
PHILADELPHIA Jan. l8. The launch
ing Of the japanese warship Kasagi,
which is being built at Cramps ship
yard, will take place on Thursday at
noon. The Kasagi is the most impor-
tant ship. ever built in the United
States for foreign account and is the
first foreign warship launched in this
country since the Zobiaca in 1878.
The Kasagi is one among a large
number of ships of various. type and
classes embraced in the new naval pro-
gramme of Japan. A sister ship to
her is building on the Pacific coast and
others of various classes up to 1880
ton battleships either in England,
France or Germany or in Japan's own
dockyard at Yokosuka. When the
heet OF which the Kasagi is an i'm
portant factor shall be completed, an
event not more than two years off at
the farthest, Japan will rank as the
foremost naval power in the Pacific
ocean, and, generally speaking, nearly
II not quite third in rank among the
naval powers of the world.

Result of Experiments by the Department
of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The chief of
the bureau of animal industry, DR.. D.
E. Salmon, has submitted to Secretary
Wilson a report upon the experiments
made in the treatment of hogs for hog
cholera with anti-toxine serum. This
serum is made upon the same principle
as the anti-toxine Of diphtheria. It
was first teste d upon small animals in
the laboratory and being found effca-
cious was last fall tested in Page
county, Ia, on several herds of swine,
containing altogether 278 animals.
Leaving ont one herd, from which def
mite returns as to cause of death could
not be obtained, only 80 died out of 244
animals treated, of which SO were
sick. Consequently, 1913 per cent of
the animals in these herds were saved.
OF untreated herds kept under observa.
ton during the period referred to about
85 per cent of the animals died. It is
the intention Of the department to fur.
nish 1000, 900 doses the present year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Logan Car
Isle, chief clerk Of the treasury depart
ment during the last Cleveland admin

HAVANA is TRANQUIL,

No Renewal of Recent Disorders Ha.
Occurred.
HAVANA, Jan. iS.-No "disagreeable
incidents have occurred during the
day and complete calmness'' exists.
Generals Morroto, Bernal and Salcedo
have arrived and are assisting General
Blanco in maintaining order.
While Senior Marcos Garcia, governor
of Santa Clara, was attending base
ball match hospital employe tried to
shoot him. General Aguirre and his
aid de camp frustrated the attempt.
General Pando arrived at Manza-
milo on Tuesday last. According to
the official reports there has been ''only
unimportant skirmishing" in that di-
rection.
Although outwardly order is restored
here great excitement continues and
unless the newspapers exercise, under
the present press censorship, great
prudence, a general revolt is probable,
with much bloodshed, because, in such
an event, the army volunteers would
fraternize.
General Blanco's position is more
difficult because his mild methods of
warfare disqualify him to use energy
with mob.
