THAT MUTINY OF sPANIARDs.
znter Explanation Throws Light
on Their Alleged Misconduct
at Santiago.

Dispatches from Santiago dwell up
on the good feeling prevailing between
the American and the Spanish soldier,
At Annapolis Admiral Cervera and his
officers have only praise and express
sions of gratitude for the treatmen;
they have received. From the prison
camp at Portsmouth, X. H., come re-
ports of contentmept among the sea-
men confined there. Since the surren-
der at Santiago there has been lut one
incident that did not harmonic with
this pleasant relationship Of the con
querors and the conquered. That was
"the mutiny on the Harvard"
1t will be remembered that after the
prisoners from Cervera's fleet were
collected and placed On board the Har-
ward to be Brought TO this country
there occurred what was called q
mutiny. 1t was said that the Spanish
prisoners, without any apparent cause,
suddenly revolted, rushed upon the
marine guard and only ceased their
demonstration when volley killed
half a dozen Of them and wounded
many more. The officers, II was stated
at the timO, did not participate in the
outbreak. The American interpreta-
tion Of this strange action was that the
Spanish seamen meant TO try and seize
the ship. Since the arrival of the Span
ish officers at Annapolis they have fur
nished information which shows that
the alleged mutiny was a mistake
growing out Of the inability of the
American marines and the Spanish
sailors TO understand each others Ian
guage. The version which the Spanish
officers give IS interesting.
II is told not in the spirit Of com
plant against the Americans. but to
account for the heretofore ineNplica-
bic action of tho Spanish sailors. The
prisoners, as the account runs. had be-
gun tomake themselves at home on the
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

American on guard called 10 him T.

understand what he said.
Thereupon the marine pointed his
gun threateningly. lie simply meant
the motion for moral effect. But some

and who had been impressed before

bloodthirstiness, rushed forward with

SUMMER SALADS.
About which There Are Some
Mistaken Notions.

Tea is a meal that in a great many
country families usurps the place Of
supper as the evening repast. A teais
a light, unsubstantial meal which is
peculiarly adapted to summer weather.
The old saying that "Fruit is golden in
the morning, silver at midday and
leaden at night" may be applied to all
food, and should be well remembered
in summer. 1t is doubly desirable in
sultry weather that the evening meal
should be a light one. The heavier
stews and other substantial dishes
that are so acceptable on the winter
supper table pail upon the taste in hot
weather. A properly seasoned dish Of
meat or fish salad takes the place on
the tea table of all other meat dishes
at this season. This is an economical
as well as n wholesome course, in spite
of the nightmares which well-meaning
people used to conjure up at the men
ton Of lobster or chicken salad.
The fancy of our Puritan ancestors
that French salad was something as
deleterious to the digestion as the
typical French morals were TO the
character is an old one. This Is, no
doubt, the reason why so many CON
scientious women of an older genera
ton cling to the coarse meats and
greasy vegetables of the boiled diTfner,
abiured mustard and other condi-
ments, and looked upon French salad
as a means by which men were led to
ruin and intemperance. Men and
women are led to the use of stimu-
lants not by salads and condiments.
but by food which does not supply
sufficient nourishment. Coarse meats.
indigestible boiled beef and mutton.
and boiled vegetables that clog up thu
process of digestion and give the stom-
ach and digestive powers the greatest
amount of labor for the least amount
of nourishment bring a natural desire
for stimulants to restore the strength
On the other hand. properly dressed
salad made of delicate meats or fish,
with mustard and other condiments To
aaSist digestion, furnish nourishment
with the least amount of taxation on
,he physical forces at time when
they are somewhat weakened by heat
With salads, as with all food, It Is es-
sential that they be served at the right
time. It is necessary for the woman
who desires her children to grow M
healthy and strong TO prepare all the
food for them in the manner that shall
render it most acceptable and most
nutritious. Centuries ago q great poet
from whom we might not expect
dietetic wisdom, uttered an aphorisn
when he said: That which Is not good
is not delicious to well-governed ap
petite Ahealthypersonhasa healthy
appetite. Such person respects hi,
dinner" and demands it shall be de
licious. There is no reproach in this
respect for food On the contrary
there is vast amount of mere animal
ism in consuming food in indifference,
TO its quality. Let the summer tea bl
the daintiest of meals, let the salad o
fish or meat be carefully prepared, an,
every dish suggest in its perfection tn,
