PRISON AT KiTTERY NAVY YARD.
Temporary Quarters Being Fitted Up for
Spanish Prisoners.

Inside of ten days between 1900 and 17Ot
Spanish prisoners will be quartered or
Seavey's Island in Portsmouth harbor.
Eight temporary buildings are to be
erected at once to quarter the prisoners
and strong guard will keep constant
watch to see that none escape.
A. W. CrowninshieId, chief of the
bureau of navigation, and corps of as
sistants, arrived at Kittery navy yard
Wednesday morning and in company
with Admiral Carpenter, proceeded to
Seayey's island where the locations for
the several buildings were selected and
staked out. On the arrival of Chief
Crowninshield at the navy yard he was
greeted with the usual salute of eleven
guns.
Every arrangement was ma de for con-
structing the prison buildings at once
and as they are to be only temporary
affairs they will easily be completed by
the time the Spaniards arrive there to
occupy them.
The prisoners will arrive on transports
and have probably started on their
jo urney north by this time.
The fact that all these prisoners are to
be confined SO near Portsmouth will be a
big thing for the merchants of that city,
as the government will have to feed them
and the local dealers will no doubt fur
nish most of the stuff. The ordering of
another artillery company to Fort Nc
CIary was no doubt due to the sending of
the prisoners to Kittery as they will
probably do guard duty and see that none
of the "Dons" escape.
Battery B, First Massachusetts, heavy
artillery, 200 men, is expected to arrive
at Kittery today. The battery will be
transported to Fort McClary where they
will pitch camp. They will report to the
commanding officer of the port, Captain
Curtis of Battery K, United States army,
situated at Fort Constitution. The bat
terry will have control of the guns located
at the fort. There will then be located in
the vicinity of Kittery some 400 soldiers.
This is not the first time that prisoners
of war have been confined in Kittery.
During the civil war some four hundred
rebels were quartered in one of the old
ship houses at the navy yard and kept
there for some time.

THE COLON PRISONERS
Say. Their Fleet Was Ordered to Move by
Minister of Marine at Madrid.


Guantanamo, July 4, 6 p. m, per the
Associated Press Despatch Boat Dandy,
via Kingston, JAM, July 4, p. m
delayed in Transmission Copyright by
the Associated Press. THE steamer Reso-
Lutte arrived today with sos prisoners, in
Guiding Ell ghteen officers and. the crew of
the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon. The
disposition of the prisoners is not yet de-
cided upon. The number CT killed and
wounded on the Cristobal Colon is very
small.
Officers of the American vessels which
were in pursuit of her say as it was a
question of only short time when the
Cristobal Colon should bs compelled to
surrender or run ashore; they ceased
firing on her and only three of her crew
were killed and thirteen were wounded
Before running their ship ashore and
hosting the white flag the Spaniards
opened the Kingston valves on board the
Colon and threw overheard the breech
blocks of ever gun, including those of the
Mauser rifles. The captured Spaniards
| were remarkably cheerful.
The officers claim they had had nothing
to eat for "a hours before the destruction
of the fleet and they had great difficulty
| in getting the men to their posts and
therefore large amounts of liquor were
given out
Many of the captured sailors still
showed the effocts of drink when put on
board the Resolute.
The Spanish officers say the order to sail
was given by the minister Of marine Of
Madrid, and they decided to make an at
tempt to escape on Saturday night But it
| was postponed until Sunday morning for
the reason that quarters inspection"
Americans would NOT be at their guns.
None of the Spaniards expected to be
alive at noon on Sunday, believing the
| destruction of the feet to be certain.
Most of their valuablss were put on the
| Cristobal Colon, the fastest boat of the
Spanish teet. and everything was done to
give her the best opportunity to escape.
The Spanish officers profess great ad-
miration for the American ships, especial
ly the Brooklyn, New York and Oregon.

NOT GOOD CITIZENS.
Enemies Of Protection Anxious 40 sec
"a DeGcit Pile Up.

No good citizen would care TO sec deficit

tisan desire 10 spite the administration or
Mr.. Dlngley and his bill. The proof OF the
Dingley pudding will be In the eating.-Bos-
ton Globe.
Then is must surely follow that free
traders are not, as rule. good citizens.
Certain IL is that the enemies of proiec-
ton. with scarcely any exceptions, are
intensely anxious that there shall be
deficit under the Dingley law. They
want TO see big deficit pile up, and the
bigger the deficit the more they will be
pleased.
But II. on the other hand. the law
should work out ample revenues in nc
cordance with the careful calculations
OF it's trainers. these free-trade harpies
will be bitterly disappointed.
In such an event their last and only
weapon against protection will be sadly
hacked and bluuted. For if protection.
besides bringing about return OF pros
perity TO the business and the industries
OF the country, shall also provide reye-
nue. sufficient for the needs of the gov
crnment upon the basis Of reasonable
and prudent economy, what then VIII
become Of the free-trade arguments and
theories?
No; il will not do at all to have the
Dingley tariff turn out to be a better
revenue producer than the Wilson free
trade alteration proved 10 be.
Free traders are extremely scarce
who can look toward such result with
any degree Of complacency. They hope
for the worst, not the best.
Therefore, the Boston Globe is eN-
tremely uncomplimentary when 1t
says: NO good citizen would care 10
