SPANlARDS CHEER OLD GLORY.
Prisoners From New York Start Home
Glad and Grateful.

Prisoners From New York Start Home
Glad and Grateful.
Prisoners of war, cheering the flag
of their captors was the unusual sight
witnessed at the Union dock, in Brook
lyn, last Sunday. The sight was all
the more significant as the cheers came
from Spanish throats.
The 254 prisoners captured on the
four prize steamers now in port were
about to sail for home under the Brit
ish flag. They were on board the
Hesperia, of the Anchor line, and just
as she backed out of the dock one OF
the patrol gunboats came by. With
one accord the prisoners raised three
mighty cheers, which startled the peo-
pie on the Brooklyn shore and could
be heard on Governors Island. 1t
was the best they could do in thank
ing Uncle Sam for the kindness Law
ished on them while they were pris.
oners.
The Hesperia left at 8 p. M. bound
for Italian ports. She will put the
prisoners on shore at Gibraltar. The
prisoners were happy lot and their
appearance showed that they had been
we'll treated while in enforced idleness.
Among the 254 prisoners were six
officers. They have saloon accommo-
dations, while the others are in the
steerage.
One of the Spanish officers said {:
eff our men in the field realized either
the hopelessness of our cause or the
treatment they would get at the hands
of the Americans, they would not
fight long. The earliest and quickest
way to reach home is to surrender. l
believe in fighting where there is a
chance but our blockaded soldiers do
not know we have not a chance. They
can get home quicker by surrendering
and in the meantime be we'll fed and
taken care of. But they think the
Americans will murder them"
The American consul paid S17 a
head for the passage of the prisoners.

The Gold Hill Picnic.
Yesterday was the day for the Gold
Hill picnic. Quite number of can
didates went over, but up to the hour
The ENQUIRER went to press it had
heard no particulars. 1t is safe, how
ever, to say that there was big crowd
present. The Gold Hill picnic always
gets there, and especially in campaign
years.
Wells Going Dry.
Mr.. Rufus Davis, of Zeno, informed
the reporter on Monday that the peo-
pie in his section of Bethel township
are being seriously inconvenienced by
the low water in the wells. The low
water is due to the long dry spell,
preceding the recent rains. The re-
cent rains, of course, have not yet
had time in which to affect the wells.
Second Crop Potatoes.
The first crop of Irish potatoes this
year has been pretty generally fail
ure, and most people are considering
the advisability of trying for a second
crop. Now is the time to plant, and
planting may be continued on up to
the middle of August. So says Mr..
w. J. Gordon; and be knows. The
biggest trouble about the second crop
just now is general scarcity of seeds.
Seeds of the current year are some
times used with success but old seeds
are safer.
Track In Condition.
Messrs. Riddle and Logan, the track
committee of the Yorkville Wheel
mems association, have had Mr.. A.
Rose working on the track for several
days and it is now in good shape. By
the way, while not professional, Mr..
Rose is now making pretensions as a
practical expert in civil engineering.
1t was he who got the track in shape for
the first meet. When he commenced,
the work was notoriously uneven and
untrue. 1t had been left 30 by the
contractors; but Mr.. Rose continued
to work and scrape until at last
the visiting wheelmen pronounced the
Job the best of the kind in the south.
1t has been kept up to this standard
ever since, and any unfavorable criti-
cisms of the track today, unless they
be on account of rain, will be in bad
taste.

cases of wounds perforating the alb
dominal cavity was nearly 80 per
cent. One of the surgeons in charge
of the men wounded at Santiago says
the percentage of fatalities from this
cause will be less than 8 per cent. in
the present war. There is no counting
on the Mauser bullet. 1t may pass
through one man and scarcely injure
him, yet it may hideously mutilate the
next man to him. On the whole, how
ever, the small calibre rifle bullets are
more humane than the big musket
bullets used in the Civil War.

Won't BE In 1t.
The First South Carolina regiment
has all along been hoping that it would
be sent to Porto Rico. In test of
endurance made in a march to Snod-
grass Hill, at Chickamauga, the other
day, the South Carolinians downed all
competitors. They made the long
laborious march up the hill, in face of
the heat and other discomforts, with
the loss of only few men, while the
other regiments lost hundreds. The
boys thought that this would surely
mean that they would be chosen to 60
to Porto Rico; but an Associated Press
dispatch, published Tuesday morning,
says positively that the First South
Carolina will not be removed from
Chickamauga at this time.

- One Of the most remarkable facts
to be noted in connection with the eff
fects of the new small calibre bullets
is the almost total absence of cases
requiring amputation. The heaps of
severed limbs that formed horrible
feature Of the surgeons quarters du-
ring the Civil War will not appear in
the present war Out of the 274
wounded men who have been brought
to New York on the Olivette, not one
has had to undergo amputation. The
Mauser bullets make dreadful gaping
flesh wounds at close range; but
at ordinary ranges they either kill
or leave comparatively slight wound.

The leading ard most commendablO

prise or business in which the munich
patty is interested. says the Amer can
Magazine of CIvics. Whatever tb;s it
has are on the sure and safe road TO
liquidation by the automatic operation
CT the sinking fund device. BY this
means the city OF Glasgow Will. inside
OF so years, furnish free water 10 its
citizens; give them the best electric
lights free; electric or water power at
cost; allow them TO ride on its electric
road at the nominu. fare of two cents
FOR any distance and furnish to al free
use OF magnificent public iibrary.r,
The city affa:rs are managed by bust
ness men with the same prudence with
which they would manage their own
affairs; the question of party politics
enter into no local election and it seems
10 be the object OF the municipality to
administer the city's finances in an
economical way. to improve the public
health in its physical and moral basis,
and 10 give brightness and the possi-
bi.iiy Of happiness Il, ciyi; life. lis sue

TO command the admiration Of the civ
