cERvERA ARRIVES ASA PRISONER.


VIII BE Treated CourteousIy in Remem-
brance of His Kindness to Hobson. q
Washington, July 10.-The st. Louis
was sighted yesterday of Portsmouth.
N. H.
Admiral Cervera, with about 40 of
his officers and 800 of his men, are on
board. 1t is understood here that the
Spanish officers will be kept in An
napolis and the men at Fort Constitu-
tion, on Seavey island, just near there.
Captain Bartlett, chief of the intell!-
gence office, was much gratified that
the st. Louis had been sighted So
promptly. He said she had never been
lost sight of from the time she came
within range of our shores.
Every one at the Naval Academy is
imbued with the sentiment that the
Spanish officers to be sent to Annapo-
lis should be treated not simply as
prisoners of war but as guests of the
nation, and all the preparations made
for their reception are in this spirit.
Captain Philip II. Cooper superin-
tendent of the Naval Academy, said:
"All that know about the matter
Is, have received an order from Wash
Ington to make ready for the reception
of eighty Spanish officers captured.
While 1 have received no positive in
5tructions yet from Washington on the
subject. the Academy will hereafter be
military prison, ard the good people
If Annapolis will have to accommodate
themselves to it. 1t would not do to
throw the academy open to the public
so that these unfortunate officers be
made objects of unpleasant scrutiny,
For they have suffered enough already"
Captain Cooper stated that 40 off,
GERS would arrive on Monday and forty
more in week. AS sson as the notice
was received by the superintendent
that the Spanish officers would be sent
here he gave orders to have cadets
lower quarters prepared for their re-
ception.
These buildings are known as Strib-
bling row, and lie in the southeastern
section OF the Academy, between the
old mess hall and the gymnasium. The
row consists of nine buildings, but only
Nos. ,, 3, 4, .. and 8 will be occupied
by the prisoners. Nos. 2, 8 and 4 are
two-story buildings, with Easements;
the others are three stories. Nos. and
will he occupied by officers of high
rank and the junior officers will have
the other buildings. These quarters
are used by the cadets and bachelor
officers and professors when the Acad-
emy is in session.
The prisoners will be under the pa
trol of marine guard of forty. For
the present their cornmissary will be
Thomas Evans, steward. Paymaster
Loomis, who was ordered away this
week to Portsmouth as commissary for
the prisoners there. is expected to re-
turn here and assume the MANAGEMENT
Of the food supply of the Spanish off,
GERS.

Playa del Este, July 13.--Yesterday
General Toral sent out reply to Gen.
eral Skaters second demand for the
unconditional surrender Of Santiago,
made by letter.
In his reply General Toral referred
to his refusal to accede to the Ameri-
can demand on Sunday and again reit-
Grated his determination to resist.
Notwithstanding this, the American
batteries did not open fire in the morn
ing and the renewal of the lombard
ment probably will be postponed until
to-day, when 1t is hoped that all of
General Randolph's batteries will he
in position.
The siege guns landed will be brought
up as soon as possible.

RECRUITS LEAVING cHlcKAMAueA


Rumored That More Troops VIII he
Sent to the Front Soon.
Chickamauga, July bat an early
hour yesterday several hundred re-
cruits for the First brigade. First di-
vision, First corps, which left Camp
Thomas for Charleston several days
ago, marched to Ringgold, Ca, where
they went aboard a special train for
Charleston.
These recruits were sent out to join
their command by order of General
Miles. Before his departure for San
tiago General Miles wired General
Brooke directing that the soldiers mem
toned as we'll as the wagon trains of
the three regiments, be rushed at once
to Charleston.
In all about one thousand soldiers
were left here by the three regiments.
the majority of them, however, belong
ing to the Sixteenth Pennsylvania.
The First Ohio cavalry did not leave
yesterday, but will get out to-day. All
final preparations for departure are be-
ing made.
At the headquarters of the First
corps it is stated that no further orders
for the removal of troops have been
received. From another source 1t Is
learned that the Second brigade, Sec
ond division, First corps. under Cen
eral Hams. is likely to depart any
day.
1t is thought at the camp that def
mite orders for the departure Of the
nine thousand men will be received very
soon. 1t Is understood that these
troops are to be moved by the return
ing transports which are now reaching
the American coast.
A letter received in camp from United
States Senator Fairbanks says the en-
tire Second division of the First corps
was to be ordered to Porto Rico. The
letter was written to Captain Warren
Fairbanks, son Of the senator, who Is
in the .commissary department of the
division.

What Makes a Gentleman,
The Young Man Should be Guided by His
Own Best Instincts.

"Common-sense rules in dress and
manners, the same as in any phase
of our lives, and this our young men
should learn and understand" writes
Edward Box of "What Makes a
Gentleman" in the July LadieS' Home
Journal 'A mans manners are not
exterior: they emanate from within,
from himself. Experience and obser-
walton are the only teachers he can
seek and use. Etiquette books are
useless to HIM. A young mans pro-
gress and favor in the eyes of others
does not depend upon his being osten-
tatiously correct in manner, move
ment and speech. His stronges: and
most lasting hold upon the respect
and confidence of people comes from
something deeper. He must not be
boorish, nor slovenly, nor needless of
the feelings of others. 1t is his duty
to carry himself we'll according to his
hest instincts, and not by rule as laid
down in etiquette books. So with a
young mans dress. At twenty we do
not expect our young men to devote
so much time to their clothes that
they shall be correctly dressed upon
every occasion. Such useless knowl-
edge is, at that time of life, acquired
at the expense of far more important
matters. The taste for good dressing,
and its knowledge, so far as it is nee
essary, comes to all OF us as we pro-
gress. The right sort of a young man
dresses in the neatest and best man.
ner he can, and as we'll as his income
permits. That is always good dress
ing. To overdress ones station in
the world is always poor taste and
invariably makes bad impression. I
never yet saw young man who either
hired or borrowed an evening suit tor
special occasion who did not loudly
proclaim the self-evident fact. When
young man wears clothes beyond
his means he invariably shows it, and
he never fails to make fool of him
self. This rule is invariable. 1t is
not what man wears, but how he
wears it, that tells the story"

Natives Starving AVID Anxious to Be
Free from Spain's Rule.
Provincetown, Mass, July 13.--Cap-
tain McKenna of the British brig Ethel,
who arrived here yesterday from Ara
cibo, Porto Rico, brings story of great
destitution at San Juan and other
places and a deep interest among the
inhabitants of the island in the pro-
gress of the war, which, it is believed,
is to free the people from Spanish tpr-
amy.
Captain McKenna stated that he left
Arecibo June 21. At that time reports
from all parts of Porto Rico indicated
condition among the natives nearly
bordering on starvation. At Arecibo
-four was selling at nineteen dollars a
barrel and salt fish at thirty cents per
pound, and other provisions at price
so high that none but the wealthy could
get them.
Several American and British news
papers reached Captain McKenna while
he lay at Arecibo, and he states that
the natives actually fought each other
to get possession of them. So eager
were they to learn of the progress of
the war.
