SPANS PATRON SAINT.
The DOns Celebrate His fiesta With
the Greatest Ceremony.

the Greatest Ceremony.
From the Philadelphia Record.
We hear the name Santiago so often
now that few of us recolIect it is the
Spanish mode of spelling Saint James,
the patron of Spain. after whose city in
the old world Santiago de Cuba is named.
July 25 is a great day in Spain, and tour
lists who are visiting the peninsula en-
deavor to reach Santiago before that date
in order to view the pilgrimage and other
religious ceremonies conducted with great
solemnity then and there.
Santiago is in the province of Galicia,
in the northeastern corner of Spain, not
more than thirty statute miles from Cape
Finisterre 1t is sometimes called Com
postella," which signifies lied by a star"
on account of singular incident in the
legendary life of that saint When you
hear Of Saint James of Compostella you
are merely speaking Of the notable patron
plain Santiago.
From the time of the Middle Ages this
town was a fashionable resort of pilgrims,
but lately Lourdes has exercised counter
attractions that carry off visitors who
would otherwise seek the older shrine. 1t
was always customary for the pilgrim
train to approach the town from the hills
to the south. When they caught the first
glimpse of the towers of the Cathedral OF
Santiago they knelt down just where they
happened to be.
Saint James was a soldier. and he Of
Compostella is said to have slain many
thousands of infdels in battle. Santiago
was stoned 20 death and buried in Je-
rusalem, but the legend tells that his body
was miraculously transported to Spain; no
one knew how. At any rate, in the year
S35 a worthy bishop Of Galicla discovered
the body of Santiago In a wood close to
the actual town where "a star pointed it
out 10 him." chapel was built on the
SPOT and the town of Santiago or Com
postela sprang up about 1t. Hence the
pilgrimages to this shrine.
The clergy OF Santiago enjoyed peculiar
privileges Of corn rent, amounting to a
yearly income of several hundred thou
sand dollars, which was only abolished in
1855. n
The great cathedral. begun and enlarged
at different times, was completed IN 1925
In the apse is an isolated marble altar on
which IS seared the effigy Of Santiago the
tutelary saint. lie is dressed in a pill

studded with precious stones set IN gold
and silver. Behind him are four statues

Staying the inhdels by thousands.
His torch is supported by four angels
who are seated on the capitals of columns.
A golden star crowns the image of the
saint, whose reliques were discovered by
agency of the star. Lamps fed with in
cense are burning before the shrine. Be
hind the altar are steps by which pal
Srims may approach TO kiss the pilgrim $
hood, ceremony which signifies that their
pilgrimage is achieved.
In Santiago there is an ancient hospital
called Hospicio de los Reyes. the King ;

FORT MARION's DUNGEONS.
Where spnniardS Used TO Torture
Their Victims.


Their Victims.
St Augustine Letter In Mail and Express.
The most interesting sight in st. Angus
tine Is Fort Marion, as the old structure
vas rechristened after the Florida pur-
chase, in honor of our revolutionary gen
eral, Marion. Its grim, weather. beaten
basuons and parapets are all built of co.
quina-that strange oalcareous deposit OF
decayed sea shells. making kind of natu-
raj and durable mortar that soddlaes upon
exposure to the air. Even a new structure
of this material takes on instantly gray
and venerable appearance. One might wan
der for hours or SIT for days near one of
the sentry boxes or in the antique watch
tower of this fortiacations, and dream Of
the successive scenes of conquest Of
Spanish cruelty, OF French revenge, Of
British conquest, of Spanish reoccupatiOn
and of final acquisition by the United
States
Sergt. Brown of the regular army is m
crarge of this historic pile. He Will show
You through the Old classmates, each Of
them curious enough, and viii reach his
elimination Of horror in the dungeons be-
meath the northwest bastion. Here, OPEN
ing by narrow passage from the central
place of arms, is the place Of punishment
for prisoners. The walls stillshow the re-
cesses into which We're let six crosses. Be
fore one of the crosses the hapless pris-
oner was hung in chains, so arranged that
he could neither sit nor stand, while every
movement was an agony, and while the
cross, emblem Of peace and love- hung
above him until he was ready to confess or
die. 1t must have been a sacrlleglous trav-
esty of the crucihxion.
Until the year 1885 this large prison
chamber of comparatively public imprison-
ment and torture was supposed to be the
most thrilling relic Of Spanish medieval
barbarity. But in that year the moving
Of a heavy cannon on the outside para.
pet above broke through a roof; and then
were revealed two inner chambers. In.
vestgaton showed that these inner dun
geona were connected with the larger
prison chamber by q low, narrow tun-
mel, running through walls four feet thick
This tunnel, before the transfer of the Old
fort, had been blocked with masonry
perhaps to conceal from the new owners
the testimony of atrocious cruelty; or per-
haps the tunnel was blocked at a far
earlier period.
The first Of these dungeons, which you
examine by lantern light, is about seven
feet by twenty and fifteen feet high. Its
length fitted Il for the use Of the rack
and its secluson prevented the groans and
shrieks of the tortured from being heard
except, perhaps, S they might family reach
through the tunnel the chained prisoners
IN the outer chamber, to strike further ter
ror to their fainting souls. There is a small
passage for ventilation in the roof and It
was this that after many years caused the
break that led TO the discovery of the tor
ture chamber.
1t is with a shuddering realization Of
the possibilities of Spanish ferocity when,
in unbridled power that one energies from
these dark, stone-walled dungeons ana
greets the outer sunshine with a gasp Of
relief
