Santiago de Cuba, July 17.-Since 4
o'clock this morning II stream of rcfu-
gees has been pouring into the city,

A BIG UNDERTAKING.
To Send Prisoners to spain VIII Require
Elaborate Preparations.

New York, July 15.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, ID. O., says:
How the Spanish army is to be sent
back to Spain has proved to be Il
serious problem to the administration.
1t has to-day been the chief matter
under consideration. II has brought to-
gether ut intervals for conferences Of
ficials in various departments, among
them Mr.. Meikeljohn, assistant secre-
tary of war; Secretary Alger, Surgeon
General Sternberg. Commlssary Gen
eral Eagan, Adjutant General Corbn
and Colonel II. ]. Heckner, chief of the
Bureau of Transportation.
President Mckinley has been kept
Informed of these conferences. "Such
n thing" said an army officer in the
War Department to me to-day, "has
hitherto been unheard of in military
annals, and while the new situation is
curiOusly interesting 1t is, nevertheless,
perplexing."
Health. food and means of transpor-
tation have been the chief points con-
sldered, and safety to American sea
men and American ships have not been
ignored, for example, Colonel Heck
ner has advised, am Informed on good
authority, that American bottoms be
not considered This suggestion has
nearly prevailed. and In the proposals
for bids only neutral bottoms probably
will be considered, for II is frankly ad-
mitted at the department that Ameri.
can transports would require conveys
1t Is suggested that neutral bottoms
would have right to put these prison
ers of at any port In Spain.
Another point considered was as tC
who should feed the men. 1t was al
first suggested that this contract b,

Destiny seemed to be Turing him to his

less in performance than in character,

of solitude, disagreeable in society.
The great Du Guesclin, the scourge
of the English invaders of France,
was a most odious boy. His parents had
to make him dine at table apart. He
was rude, furious, bully; he beat ev-

SCOTS childhood was noisy. He yell
ed old poems at the top of his voice. He
loved the lonely hills. He read forever,
when he was not wandering alone, and
he remembered anything that he read.
He was dreamer, teller of romances
to himself He delighted in fighting, as
did Keats. He studied everything ex-
cept his books. His enthusiasm for po-
etry made lady recognize him for a gen.

Unluckily, sullen, dreamy, pugna-

They do not become Scotts-not that he
was sullen-nor Du Guesclins nor Ma
