Our government is collecting a fine
lot of reconcentrados of its own at Key
West. and it is somewhat puzzled to
know what to do with them. They arr
the officers and crews of the captured
Spanish merchant vessels, and thu
trouble arises from their anomalous
position. They are not neld as prison
ers of war. consequently the war and
navy departments do not care to take
the responsibility for them. They are
free to go away, but prefer to remain
where they are, because they have no
where to so. and are even afraid to
venture on shore. lest the Cubans on
the island maltreat them. They have
no money to pay their passage home,
surprising the way to be open for them
to get there, and, all things considered,
neither their lot nor that of the United
States officers who find these people on
their hands. with no authority to hold
them and no way to get rid of them,
can be called a happy one. However,
there is no fear that. like their Cuban
prototypes, any of them will starve to
death
