and Feasting on Good Yankee Food.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., July 12.-The aux
Hilary cruiser st. Louis, which brought the
Spanish prisoners into this port Sunday,
was busy coaling to-day. 1t is expected she
will leave for Annapolis tomorrow morn
ing with Admiral Cervera and the other
Spanish officers, who have been ordered
taken to that station for confinement as
prisoners of war The Spanish captives who
were landed on Seavey's island have made
themselves at home and most of them spent
the day in playing cards or other favorite
games. The men have good appetites and
have apparently become contented The food
being supplied them is of the best quality.
Two of the cooks of the Crstobal Colon
have been detailed to assist the twelve
Americans in this work.
The sick among the Spaniards have been
placed in the two hospitals at the island.
1t has been found necessary to provide adj
ditional quarters for the accommodation of
all who are on the sick list. The government
tug which visited the cruiser to-day re-
ports Admiral Cervera as feeling much i'm
proved.
Colonel James Ferney. United States
Marine Corps, commandant of the marines
in charge of the prisoners. has named the
camp Seavy's Island Camp Long, in
honor of the secretary of the navy. AT $3.50
this afternoon Paymaster LOOMS, United
States navy, commenced the work of issu-
ing the regular United States uniforms to
the Spanish prisoners.
