on Their Alleged Misconduct
Mt santiago.

Dispatches from Santiago dwell up
on the good feeling prevailing between
the American and the Spanish soldier.
At Annapolis Admiral Cervera and his
have only praise and express
sioms of gratitude for the treatment
they have received. From the prison
camp at Portsmouth, y. H., come re-
ports of contentment among the sea-
men confined there. Since the surren-
der ut Santiago there has been Tut one
incident that did not harmonic with
this pleasant relationship of the con-
qucrors and the conquered. That was
the mutiny on the Harvard
Ii will be remembered that after the
prisoners from Cervera's feet were
collected and placed On board the Har-
ward to be brought to this country
there occurred what was called a
mutiny. II was said that the Spanish
prisoners, without any apparent cause,
suddenly rcvolted, rushed upon the
marine guard and only ceased thei-
demonstration when Il volley killed
half a dozen OF them and wounded
many more. The officers. il was stated
ut the time, did not participate in the
outbreak. The American i]nterpretn-
ton of this strange action was that the
Spanish scamcn meant 10 try and seize
the ship. Since the arrival of the Span
ish officers ut Annapolis they nave fur
nishcd information which shows that
the alleged mutiny was n mistake
growing put of the inability of the
American marines and the Spanish
sailors to understand each others lam
guage. The version which the Spanish
officers give is interesting.
1t is told not in the spirit of COM
plant against the Americans, hut to
account for tie heretofore inexplica-
bic action Of the Spanish sailors. TIL.
prisoners. as the ccoun runs, had be-
gun TO make themselves ut home en- II
ship and were in the habit of climbing
into the rigging. An order was made
that they must not do this. But
through some laundering of the in
terpretcr the prohibition was not un-
derstood by many of the Spaniards.
Soon after the issuance OF the order n
prisoner climbed into the rigging. The
American on guard called to him to
come down, but the prisoner did not
understand what he said.
? Thercupon the marine pointed his
gun t~hreateHinGly. lie simply meant
the motion for moral effect. But some
of the prisoners who were looking on,
and who had been impressed before
capture with the stories of American
bloodthirstiness, rushed forward with
out arms to protest and 10 try 10 save
their comradc from what they thought.
was threatened death. They had no
idea of n mutiny or of trying 10 take
the ship. In their impulsiveness they
presented n threatening attitude to
the Americans. The reserve guard was
called out and the volley was fired.
The excitement quickly subsidized, and
as soon rs explanations had been made
both Americans and Spaniards saw the
mistake.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

An Aged One-Eyed Carp I'm England
Which Is Said TO Have n
Long Record.

Stories, more or less vouched for, of
FISH which have attained extreme old
nge are, common. Who, for instance,
has not read OF the capture Of fish bear-
ing plates with inscriptions to notify
that they had been previously captured
and returned 10 the water centuries be-
fore? But TO these stories the average
piscator, rendered weary by experience
of the class of anecdotes which anglers
relate 10 each other. usrnlly lends little

seems, however, that in the pond of
Emmanuel college, Cambridge, there

stantial evidence 10 prove TINT IL Is
nearly $50 years old. II has only one
eye, and Rev. a. G. l.. bowling rccol-
lGcts n onc.cyed carp in the same pond
In 1867 which, he was told al the time,
was over 100 years old. Since then lie
has discovered in Sir John Hawkins
edition Of "Walton's ComplcatA Angler"
published in 1901, n footnotc quoting an
article OF n daily paper published in Au-
gust, 1852. to the effect that "in the ba-
sin Of Emmanuel college. Cambridge,
n carp was then living that had been in
The water 90 years, which, though IL
had lost one eye, knew and would con
stnntly approach its keeper" There
are, OF course large gaps between the
dates l74G (when The carp is said 20
have been placed in the water), 17s2,
1867 and 1899. But. seeing that In 1852
n onc.cyc I'd carp was then credited with
30 years Of residence. that in 1867 o one
eyed carp said TO bo "ovcr 100 years old
was still there, and that II ono-cyed

there still, the conclusion is natural
that II hns been the same one-eyed carp
all the time.
