TIE Spaniards have no respect for the Red Cross.

4 UNSATISFACTORY SHOWING
Modern Methods of Treating Wound' are Proving that Surgical
 Science Has Advanced
NO FEVER OR PUS AND RAPID REAllNG'
A Marked Contrast with Conditions Ere yailing During the Civil War-The HOS pitai Ship Solace-Surgeons Assigheu for the Care of the spanish Wounded at Seayy's Island.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Surgeon-Gen' eral Van Reypen of the navy has re- ceived d report from the surgeons with the fleet, showing that in the many cases of wounded, some of which are serious, not a rise of temperature or an accumulation of pus has appeared i'll any case. From a medical stand point this is said to be a marked aG- vance from the
 Conditions During the Civil War, and is attributed to the introduction of antiseptic treatment of wounds. It shows that no fever follows the wounds, and that, with the absence of pus, the wounds heal rapidly without complications Considering the great number of wounds to be treated, now and hereafter, this is regarded as most satisfactory showing.
 The Hospital ship solace.
 Word has been received from the na- val hospital ship Solace that she has on board about 40 naval wounded, and a number of Spanish wounded. The remaining accommodations will be giv- ea to the wounded from the army. It is expected she will arrive within the next few days.
 To Care for the Wounded Spaniards.
 The surgeon general has assigned Surgeon Pursens to take charge of the wounded Spanish prisoners at Seavey island, Portsmouth harbor Surgeon Pursens has recently been at the re- cruting station at New York. With him will be four other surgeons besides the two Spanish surgeons, They will afford exactly the same surgical care to the Spanish wounded as that
 Given to American Sailors.
 The hospital has accommodations for 60 men, although there are only 43 Spanish wounded in the first party Dr. Van Reypen has arranged, howev CT, for fitting up two large pavilion wards to take the place of the hospital Work on .the wards is being rushed and they will be ready by next Satur. day.

A CAPTURED Spanish officer declares that the Spanish press lis alone to blame for the awful way in which we and the country at large have been de- ceived, We had been led to believe that the Americans would talk and buster, but would not fight, and that America had no good sEips-that the few bad ones she had were manned by foreigners, who would desert in time of war. Oh, how we have been de- ceived! And then we were told that we would be horribly tortured and killed if we were captured Now l can hardly believe my senses.
