DRUNK ALL THE TIME.
A Returned Volunteer Says the
Spanish Soldiers Never Quit
Drinking.

James r. Kirkendall the young man
from the Twentieth infantry who is at
home on a sick furlOugh, helped to
guard the Spanish soldiers after the
surrender of Santiago.
THE Spanish soldiers are a fine lot
of fellows" said he. "They seem to be
human and that is more than you can
say for the Cubans. We had very little
trouble with the soldiers. Some times
we had hard work to keep them from
going to town. They were kept at Ell
Caney and were not allowed to go into
town could not understand what the
soldiers said except the word Santiago
but that they would say that and point
toward the town which I knew meant
that they wanted to go there. But we
had no serious trouble with them. If
they appeared to get unruly we could
always bluff them out.
1.-The Spanish soldiers are the great
est drunkards ever saw. They drank
rum and gin all the time. I do not be-
lieve that there was any beer to be had
at Santiago, but the Spanish soldiers
seemed to have all the rum and gin
they wanted and they drank it all the
time. It seemed to me that the soldiers
were either drunk or half drunk al
ways.
1.-The stories about the Spaniards be
ing poor marksmen are true. I do not
know what is the matter unless it is
that they drink so much but I do know
that if we would have had their posi-
ton at San Juan hill or FL Caney there
would not have been enough soldiers in
the world to have driven us out. Those
wire fences were terrible. I broke the
fence down with an axe but some of the
boys had wire clippers. While we were
pounding down the fence the Spaniards
were shooting at US all the time 1t was
pretty warm.
1.-The Cubans are a bad lot. They are
hardly human. They seemed to think
of nothing but what they could steal.
They robbed our company but did not
find my haversack. They are the worst

THE CORTES MEETS
And Takes Up the Question of Sur
rendering the Colonies.

Madrid, Sept 6.-The chambers as
sembled here yesterday. Thus far only
routine business has been transacted
AT the opening of the senate the sec
rotary read a letter from Senior Rod
riguez. senator from Porto Rico, refus-
ing to obey the summons to attend.
The premier, Senior Sagasta, arrayed
in the insignia of his office, assembled
the tribune, and read a decree author
1Zlng the government to present to the
chamber a draft of a law empowering
the ministers to renounce sovereignty
over the colonies, in conformity with
the stipulations of the peace preliminar-
les between Spain and the United States.
The president of the senate proposed
a secret discussion Of the decree, and
despite the protests of some senators,
ordered that the galleries be closed,
which was done amid loud murmurs of
disapproval.
The chamber soon became involved IN
discussion of press censorship, and a
deputy inquired the motive underlying
circular which General Chinchilla,
captain general of Madrid, has ad-
dressed to newspapers, regarding their
reports Of the sessions of the cortes.
He declared that the censorship was
inconsistency applied and that the eff
feet of the circular was to punish pos
sible errors in advance.
Those who had expected sensational
scenes on the re-opening of the cham
bers were disappointed. The general
public seems Indifferent. The people at
large are apparently convinced that
Spain must accede to whatever the
United States demands.
At the close of the censorship discus
sion, in which deputies who are journal
lists protested 3emphatically against the
attitude of the government, Senior Ro-
nero Robledo accused the govern
ment of Illegally continuing the suspen-
sion Of the constitutional guarantees
after the re-opening of the cortes. He
demanded immediate DEGREES revolzing
the suspension.
Senior Capdepon, the minister of the
interior, replied that the time was not
oppOrtune to revoke the suspension and
reminded Senior Robledo that a former
government, of which Senior Romero Y
Robledo was a member, had acted in
the same way in 1875.
The chamber then adjourned.
