WILL EXCHANGE PRISONERS.

Plans Already Under Way For Release of
Hobson and His Men.
A Washington special says: The war
department has supplied to the navy
department the list of names procured
from the commandant at Fort McPher-
son, Ca, Of the Spanish prisoners of
war there.
The department Monday morning
sent this list to Admiral Sampson and
the admiral himself will enter into
communication with Admiral Cervera
respecting an exchange of prisoners.
Cervera will be allowed to select
from the list of persons whom he will
take in exchange for Naval Constructor
Hobson and the gallant crew that
manned the Merrimac on her last run.
Hobson's rank, relatively, is that of
lieutenant, junior grade, and he stands
at the head of that grade in his corps.
BY the ordinary rules of exchange he
would be about equivalent to captain
in the army, The highest grade officer
among the Spanish captives at Fort
Mcpherson is a lieutenant, so that in
order to equalize the exchange it may
be necessary for Admiral Sampson to
throw in with the first lieutenant one
of the dozen second lieutenants among
the prisoners.
Hobson's crew, none being of the
commissioned grade, can be exchanged
man for man for six Spanish private
soldiers, among the prisoners of war.
When Sampson and Cervera have
arranged the details, the list of pris-
oners to be exchanged will be submit
ted to the war department, which
would direct the commandant at Fort
Mcpherson to send them to Key West
to be placed aboard naval vessel and
sent to Santiago for transfer

Two prisoners who art charged with
being Spanish spies arrived at Fort
Mcpherson, Atlanta, Ga, under guard
Friday morning.
The men are Jose Castellanos and
Frank Miller. They were placed under
arrest at Tampa a few days ago and
have been sent to the post to await
trial.
Castellanos is a native of Cuba, and
claims to be an ardent sympathizer
with his countrymen. Suspicious cir
cumstances, however, pointed to him
as a man employed by the Spanish
officials to obtain information. Miller
is an Englishman and is alleged to
have been detected in the act of send

BONDS AND sEfeNIORAGE.

The revenue tariff discussion IN

principal items 81 the bin formed tho
chief feature Of Fridays news from
Washington.
The bill Is still incomplete, but the
bond feature aud tire seignorage prop
Osition have been disposed Of These
havs been the principal items Of con
tontiOn.
The senate modified the bond pro-
vision 81 II came from the house by
providing for the issue Of $500 200, 600
instead Of $500, 600, 900.
The bond feature WIS put IN tho bill
in the face Of the report Of the major
ity OF the finance committee ngaiust IL.
The adoption Of this provision, with
It's attendant provision for the issue Of
certificates Of Indebtedness, was put in
the bill 10 lieu Of that urged by the
majority Of the democrats for the issue
Of treasury notes.
The provision for the Immediate
coinage q the seigniorage existing in
the silver bullion now in the treasury
-Si5, 900, 900 in all-was put 10 the
bill by the votes Of the democrats and
silver Republicans.
Mr.. Aldriea, republican, Of Rhode
Island, then pressed the amendments
OF the minority Of the finance commit
tee providing for the issue Of one hun
bred millions Of certificates Of indebt-
edness and three hundred millions Of
bonds, TO be used exclusively for the
payment Of the expenditures Of the
war.
After On extended debate, the ques-
tion was brought to an issue and by
the decisive vote Of 45 to 81 the bond
amendment was incorporated in the
bill as a substitute for the amendment
to issue legal tender notes. The bond
proposition received the votes Of
thirty-seven republicans, seven demo
Gratis and one populist. The democrats
who voted voted for it were Messrs
Gallery, Faulkner, German, Gray,
Lindsay, Mitchell aud Murphy and the
populist was Mr.. Kyle. No republi-
can voted against the issue of bonds,

cast by twenty-one democrats, Ave
populists and five silver republicans
Mr.. Wolcott, Of Colorado, pro-
posed the amendment directing the
secretary Of the treasury to coin the
silver bullion in the treasury to an
amount of not less than $4,000, 900 a
month and to issue silver certificates
against it. After some discussion a
vote was reached aud the amendment
was agreed to-4S to 31-several re-

Little John Victor Thompson was
born under whole constellation of
lucky stars. His first piece of good
fortune was in being born in Chicago.
He could not have made wiser
choice of a birthplace. His second
morsel, or, rather, large mouthful, of
good fortune came when he was adop-
ted by the Thursday Club. Thirty
nine young ladies, each of whom has
pin money to spare, we're looking
about for some charitable work to do.
They saw young Thompson and
adopted him. They will send him to
school, perhaps to college, and start
him on an honorable career. Thirty
nine mothers That is a privilege
which very few boys enjoy, and John
Victor knows it.

There is common notion that Amer
lea is the only country in which there
has been a rapid growth of cities.
The Americans are so accustomed to
consider that their country is in all
respects vastly superior to all others
that they give very little attention to
what is done elsewhere. But the de-
sire of human beings to crowd together
in cities is one of the striking peculiar
tiles of the present age, and, as a re
suit, there has been an enormous
growth OF cities in every country.
Take, for instance, the city of Berlin
In 1853 it had about 100000 popula
tion. In 1898 its population is 1 $780,
900. In 1861 the population of Liver
pool, including Birkenhead, on the
opposite side of the river Mersey, was
about $4,000 In 1889 it was $40,
900 and to-day is over one million
souls. The city of London is another
interesting example. In 1861 the
population embraced in the registrar
generals district was 1000, 900 and a
little over. In the same district, in
1896. the census showed 4,411, 600.
It would be difficult, even in the
United States, to find more rapid
growth of the population Of cities thar
that stated above; but it is more th'
rwe than the exception.

"Senor Leon y Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador to France, at his recent
conferences with the queen regent and
Senior Sagasta, was officially charged
to ask the powers to intervene to OBJ

tect the amour propre of Spain.
1.-The ambassador will urge as
reason for such Intervention the dan
ger of a loss of trade to the powers
themselves in the event Of the eontin
uance Of the war. Political snd diplo-
matte circles in Madrid believe that
Castillo will succeed. +"

According to the Boston Traveller
recent events point to the falling be-
kind of the Latin races in the march
of civilization. Old abuses with them
seem to linger, abuses which have
been stamped out long since by their
sturdier Saxon brethren. France in
the lola trial has shown the world
defects in her judicial and administra-
ton systems that the English trial by
jury would not have permitted even
two centuries ago. Spain, in attempt
ing to crush Cuba, shows the same
crude methods which disgraced Alva
in the Netherlands. In the desire for
better observance of international law
and freedom of trade, too, our Latin
brothers seem to be sadly lacking. If
recent events count for anything, they
seem to point to the future supremacy
of the Anglo-Saxon,

exploit under the point blank fire of
the Spanish batteries. If the United

that kind in great emergencies the
