Calling guns in the rear. What would
you? Shall sane men run away from
good food, good clothes and good
company to lose themselves in
strange country and starve?
Perhaps it may not last, but that is
the sentiment in Camp Long at pres
ent. The landing of the prisoners and
the establishment Of the camp was ac
complished without the slightest hos
tile demonstration on the part of the
Spaniards. Some of the men passive
ly object to being clean, but they can
put up with cleanliness il only they get
plenty of tobacco.

There are three wounded men, one
having been shot in the leg, another
having been hacked in the face by a
Cuban machete while attempting to
get ashore from the burning ship, and
a third who lost several toes from a
machete wound. There is an old man
whose legs are paralyzed, probably
from being so long in the water All
the other patients. about one hundred
and twenty-five, are suffering from ac-
climatic fever, which is not conta-
gious, but which causes chills, cramps
and great pain for about five days. The
surgeons say that this fever will go
through the camp, attacking all who
have not had 1t. About a score OF
men are taken sick every day, and
about the same number are discharged
from che hospitals.
The convalescents and milder cases
of fever are cared for in the stockade.

Portsmouth. N. H.. letter.

portsmouth, N. H., Letter.
Civilization while you wait would be
an appropriate motto for the prison
stockade at Camp Long. The camp is
on Seavey's Island part Of the navy
yard, which on the map appears in
Kittery, Me-, and on official documents
at Portsmouth. in New Hampshire.
Two days before the st. Louis steamed
into the harbor with 692 Spanish pris-
oners of war on board the camp ground
was not much better than desert.
This end of the island is bound with
rocks, which stick up through the
BURBERRY bushes and scrubby grass
on knobs and hillsides. Col. James
Forney, commanding the Maine Guard,
had during his previous term OF duty
at the navy yard laid out golf links on
this eastern end of the island
Today he uses the old iron hole
markers as dead line ranges. The
best hazards In the links are spoiled by
a little new pine board town of dozen
houses, all but one OF which are cut
off from the rest of the island by a
high board fence. Within thirty-six
hours from the arrival of the st. Louis
In the lower harbor this village had
been equipped with all the creature
comforts demanded by a free born
American citizen.
The landing Of the Spaniards was
without ceremony or display. Two
black, flat-iron shaped barges were
brought up, one after the other, from
the big liner, about a mile away, and
made fast to Lieut.. Greeley's landing
place, at the foot Of old Fort Sullivan,
now used as a reservoir. There were
few workmen and few ladies' and
children from the post on the shore,
and Gordon Of pleasure boats on +he
water, but no official demonstration of
any sort. There was not an officer.
nor even a marine, in sight, and no
indication that the island was earri-
soned
On the first barge Lieut.. Catlin, a
survivor of the Maine disaster, brought
with him Capt. Moreu, of the Cristobal
Colon, to act as interpreter. and about
dozen American marines to take
care of boatload OF four hundred
Spanish prisoners OF war. Lieut.. Cat
