Fears That Spain Will Hold

RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CARE
Should They he Subjected to
That sreedy Retaliation VIII BE
Made-Ofctrs Taken at Santiago
Likely to Pay the Penalty.

The fear is entertained that Spain has
decided not to exchange the Merrimac
heroes.
The following telegram has been re-
ceived at the Navy Department from
Commodore Watson, commanding the
blockading squadron at Havana:
"On the 14th, sent Capt. Ludlow in
Maple with flag of truce, and full power
to negotiate exchange of Hobson and the
seven petty officers. Chief OF staff an
swers by letter after reference to Madrid
the captain general will communicate by
nag of truce, Capt. LUDLOW will If pos
sible have exchange made as desired
This telegram confirms the story that
Capt. Ludlow had started on his errand.
1t was hoped. when ii was learned that
this effort was being made, that the Mer-
rimac heroes would be free in a few days.
Cerveras generous offer when Hobson
and his men were captured had caused
everybody In the Navy Department to
believe that there would be no trouble
in securing their release. 1t is now fear
ed, however, that Spain intends to hold
them Indefinitely. H-
The Navy Department for several days
has had a suspicion tnat Spain might
given entire authority to negotiate for
the exchange of prisoners on the second
day after Hobson and his men were
captured. 1t was supposed at that time
that there would be difficulty in making
the arrangement with Admiral Cervera.
The Spanish Admiral. however, replied
to the overtures of Admiral Sampson
that he could do nothing except as he
was instructed by his home government.
1t is stated to be certain that II any
harm should come 10 Hobson and his
men while they are prisoners at Santia-

be taken by Admiral Sampson or Gen.
Shafter. The rules of modern warfare
allow and call for retaliation for cruelty
and inhumanity. and the War Depart
ment has issued a copy or these rules
since the beginning of the war.

against Robert DYER, a trucks.er, and
Edward Elliott. a laborer. before Judge

4 Little Surprise for Him.

something very unexpected happened. 7

ting along as nicely and smoothly as
could be, when a man sitting at the end
of one of the pews that I came to indi-
Gated a desire to speak to me.
Now you know that was something I
had never dreamed of. 1t had always
seemed to me that the man passing the
solemn kind of way. while the whole
church was still. never pausing except to
hand the plate in the pew and get IL
back, and the idea that anybody could
ever speak to him had never occurred to
me, and sos this mans indication that he
wanted to speak to me came as n great
surprise and something of a shock. But
/ didn't drop the plate. and l had gump-
ton enough to incline my head to him so
that he wouldn't have to shout to make
me hear. and what he said was:
Cant you have that window over
there closed?' And he indicated with a
little nod window high up in the side of
the church where the wind was blowing
in and making draught.
Il Strengthened up and passed on. and
when 1 had finished my part of the coll
lecting and got back to the rear of the
church I sent the sexton to close that
window. and. as he saw it go up. the man
that had made the request sent a friend
ly glance down the aisle at me.
Later, at one time and another in the
course of my experience, 1 received va
rious requests while passing the plate,
and now and then notice for the min
lister. but l was always ready for them
after that"

ceive Recognition.

At the suggestion of Horace II. Brewer.
of No. l106 Sixth Street northwest. the
Commissioners of the District have writ
ten to ]. w. Whelpley, president of the
board of school trustees. relative to the
proper recognition OF the young men
from the high schools who have gone
into the service of the United States.
The plan outlined is. in effect. that the
pupils in the public schools. who had
nearly completed the high school course
and who enlisted in the service, shall re-
ceive the same consideration which has
generally been accorded by the colleges
of the country, namely, that where their
records in the schools would have en-
titled them TO diplomas. had they re-
manned in the public schools until the
close Of the school year, the diplomas
should be awarded them.
1t is also suggested that the names of
all high school boys who are in the serv-
ice. be entered upon roll of honor. to be
kept upon the records of the board OF
school trustees, with a statement of the
company and regiment to which they
belong.

mating Fifty Thousand Dollars.

New York, June 1S.-Chncellor Henry NJ
MacCracken announced at the monthly
meeting of the corporation of the New
York University. in the University build
ing. No. 30 Waverley Place that an
anonymous donation of $50O0O had been
received for the productive endowment
fund of the institution. He said he had
been requested to maintain silence as to
the name of the donor, but as soon as
the news became known about the uni
versity ii was loudly proclaimed that the
giver was Miss Helen Gould
Miss Gould has made gifts to the uni
versity before. When she presented II
with $4,000 on April . she had donated to
the institution in all $50 000 and a gift or
$3.50, COO made April 25. 1895. was always
believed to have been made by her.
though the officers of the corporation re-
fused to give information as to the
donor.
1t was stated at the time that the
amount was donated because while the
late Jay Gould had intended making a
bequest to the university. the matter was
overlooked. one well informed person
said it was undoubtedly made by Miss
Helen Gould.
When asked last evening whether 1t
was true that she had donated the $780,

Gould said she would prefer to be excus-

sPANIARDs DESIRE PEACE.
Commercial Council Demands the
Immediate Cessation of Hostilitics.

Madrid. June lS.-An allocution to the
government by the powerful council gen.
eraI of Catalonia, which represents the
mercantile intelligence of Spain, calling
for peace has created a deep impression
here, ali the more on account of the log
ical and practical reasonings with which

1t states that although the council con-

unjust, yet that does not justly Spain

is bound to result in overwhelming ruin.
1T is better" it says, 40 submit to an
amputation. painful though it be, than
to carry on a terrible war. with its thous-
ands of disasters. The matter will not be
any more glorious after We have been
ruined and the blood of thousands of our
soldiers she'd The allocution ends up
with call for immediate peace.
Sensible people see in this the opening
of proposals for peace, for if a war
outrance is to be continueh none can
guess what miserable internal compli-
cations may follow. The Catalonian al
locution may mean the beginning OF the
end in the best interests of Spain.
The endless objections raised in the
Cortes to the taxation necessary Tor the
continuation of the war are preSnantiy
met by the governmental organ, Ell Dia.
1t says:
The country neither asked for nor
wants war. 1t understands neither its
origin nor its issue, and on that account
shows neither enthusiasm of any kind.
nor on that account does it respond by its
attitude to the responsibilities which the
situation imposes upon the government.
1t refuses sacrifices which would willing
ly be accepted under other circumstances.
With such a sentiment existing II is i'm
possible to ask the government to pro-
long a war for which the country does
not seem inclined to provide the neces-
sary resources. Without money We can
not have war
The Epoca. whose seriousness is above

reflects with thorough. exactitude the po-
sition of the government" The Epoca
cannot understand how the government
can vacillate as to which course to take.
1t says:
There can be little doubt. according to
the consensus of matured opinions which
have been gathered. that peace at the
present moment. when the entire world
gives full recognition. to Spanish valor
and bravery. ishighly opportune under
the circumstances. which may not be SO

So Twiddleton clambered up the tree.
Higher and higher he climbed: then, just
as his fingers fastened on rib of the

struck the ground. The crowd instantly
formed a circle around him.
