A SPANISH SPY
Captured After sharp Fight on the st
Paul.

Captured After n sharp Fight the st
Paul.
Philadelphia. May 4-The report that
a supposed Spanish spy had been cap
tured aboard the auxiliary cruiser st.
Paul at Cramps yard last night was
confirmed to-day.
Who the man Is. Captain Sigsbee re-
fused to state. and all that Is known OF
him is that his father is a Spaniard and
that his mother was born on Cuban
soil.
The suspect enlisted some days ago
as an oiler and almost from the time
of his enlistment was under suspicion
on account of his peculiar actions. Late
last night a marine who was on watch
below decks near the powder magazine
discovered the man acting in suspi-
cious way around the magazine. The
marine lost no time in bringing the man
to ground, and a short and severe fight
followed. The guard overpowered him.
but not before the suspect had received
a great cash on the right side of his
face.
He was taken before Captain Sigs-
bee for examination, and the captain
committed him to the brig" for the
night. A thorough investigation is be-
ing made.
II was learned tonight that the
name OF the suspect is Howard Han
man, He is about 30 years of age. He
claimed that he was an Austrian and
came to this country i'm 1881. Hannah
also said that he was painter and
had given up his job TO enlist on the
ST. Paul
AT the examination to-day Hannah
strenuously denied that his intentions
had been hostile to the ship, but not
withstanding his denials, rough draft
of the interior of the vessel showing the
location Of her magazines and engines
was found in his possession. He has
not been placed in irons. but strict
watch is maintained over him. He Will
be put ashore at League Island when
the ST Paul passes there. probably to-
morrow. on her way to sea. The pris-
oner will then be dealt with as the
government authorities may deem
proper.

the infected buildings in Havana. the
infected wharves and lastly the upper
end of the bay Of Havana. This, he
said. was the principal cause of all the
trouble In this part Of the bay the
water is stagnant and filthy and breeds
disease. On the banks is established
the military hospital Instead Of taxi
ing the sick up on the hills. they are
put in this infected building. Was IL
any wonder. he asked. that the fever
could not be controlled?
A consideration Of the geographical
condition in Cuba showed that the hills
back Of Matanzas are twelve to fifteen
hundred feet high. and back of Havana
they are 500 or 500
BY making the camps on these hills.
the speaker said, the danger would be
greatly reduced. There is no other
seacoast city where IL could be so easy
to keep troops. provided the system of
regular and careful inspection be main
tained. The stagnant portion of the
bay of Havana could be purified by a
canal from the Almendare river, and af-
ter a period of proper household santa
tion in the city Havana would become
as healthful as any city in the tropics.
He calls attention 10 the fact that Eng
land had given lesson in sanitation at
Jamaica. At one time Kingston was
as subject to yellow fever as Havana,
but now cases seldom occur.
The carelessless of the government. he
said. was the present cause of the yell
low fever dangers. Not half the neces-
sary precautions We're taken at the
wharves. where the danger was great

that there had been reason enough for
war with Spain before the present crisis.

affect the ships of Ne world without any
effort TO improve the conditions de-
served nothing better than the most se-
we're and summary punishment.

LITTLE DANGER.
Yellow Fever Yields Readily to Proper
Treatment.

Treatment.
Chicago, May 4.-Dr. John B. Hamil-
ton. former surgeon general of the ma
rine hospital service of the United
States, in an address given at the Ply
sicians' club. maintained that the dan
ger from yellow fever in Cuba is much
exaggerated. The paper was read in
regard to camp hygiene. with special
reference to the present war and ac-
cepted theories of heat conditions in
Cuba.
, DIR. Hamilton began with a brief sum-
mary of his past experience in sanitary
camps of various kinds. At the time of
the civil war. he said. little thought was
given to the matter. provided there was
plenty of water and a hill side on which
to pitch the tents. He acquired consid-
erable experience during the war and
later. In 1882 and 1883 he had charge
of the big yellow fever in Texas and
Louisiana. The camp near Jackson
willie he built in five days. and there
worked out the system which ne advo-
Gates for use in the present war. He
described the camp in Jacksonville. and
stated that the basis of the whole sys-
tenn was the twice a day inspection. In
1892 he built the cholera camp at Sandy
Hook. the first Of its kind. He stated
positively that the nurses and attend
ants never ran any danger from dis
eases like cholera and yellow fever in
these open air camps.
After the comments on hygienic
camps. DIR. Hamilton took up the ques-
ton of yellow fever in Cuba and it's
treatment. The danger to our soldiers,
he said. was not half as great as the
people believe. He had no hesitation
in saying that Cuba was naturally as
healthful a country as any in the trop-

AMMUNITION FOR DEWEY

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Washington, May 4.-On leaving the
navy department late tonight, Long
said nothing had been heard from
Dewey. From San Francisco comes a
report that the commandant Of the
yard. kirkland. had received a dispatch
from the navy department saying that
Dewey had cabled American losses in
the Manila fight as so killed and 100
wounded; also that the Concord and
Petrol had been badly damaged.
Special cables say that heavy rioting
continues in Spain and a ministerial
crisis is imminent. Nothing has been
received from Manila since the inter-
ruption of the cable.
The navy department has chartered
IL colliers and is evidently preparing
for a campaign at long distance. The
expedition to Cuba and the Philippines
is delayed pending news of the Spanish
feet. 1t is believed that Admiral
Sampson has sailed with the armor-
clads for Capt st. Rogue, the most

AGREES WITH THE COM
MONWEALTH.

Mr.. EDITOR AS citizen of Scot
land Neck and one most DESTROYS of its
welfare, I most cordially agree with
you that the prosperity and we'll being
of our town depend on the co-opera-
ton of its citizens in all matters cal
culated to build up the town. The
spectacle is presented to us whenever
any moye is made looking to the inau-
guration of new enterprises, of divis-
ion among our monied men. One
wishes to know in what part OF the
town it will be located, another says il
so and so is in it he will have nothing
to do with it. These and other petty
jealousies are constantly cropping ou'
until finally the enterprise either falls
through or is SO crippled that its good
results, are in a manner, lost.
Does it not seem strange, Mr.. Editor
that Christian men being in Chris
tian community should be so narrow
and blinded by prejudice? liza large
and generous spirit animated the citi
zens of Scotland, instead of popula
ton of 1900 or $500 there would be
now $500. You can not urge thl!
matter too often or too strong. Let u!
get together and all work for Scotland
Neck's interest, being assured tha
whatever tends to build up her popu
lation will also build up her trade.

FARMER BLOUNT HAS TONE IT.

Washington Gazette From what
we can learn there is less Northern
meat now being sold in Washington
than in its history, and more farmers
have raised their own meat in the
county and will have more to sell than
ever before. One reason for this is, our
farmers are first raising their supplies
at home, and have abandoned the pine
rooter of the past and have an
improved breed of hogs on their
farms. We are more indebted to that
progressive farmer. Mr.. L. III. Blount,
for this change than anyone else. He
has supplied our farmers with the I'M
proved stock he has introduced, and
it is no uncommon thing for some oil
his pigs to turn out hogs weighing
from 800 to 600 pounds.
