the unusual sight Witnessed at the

the cheers came from Spanish threats.
The 254 prisoners captured on the

about to sail for home under the Brit

she backed out of the dock one of the
patrol gunboats came by. With one ac-
cord the prisoners raised three mighty
cheers, which startled the people on the
Brooklyn shore and could be heard on
Governors Island. It was the best they
could in thanking Uncle Sam for the
kindness Iavished on them while they

Among the 254 prisoners were six Of
