Sixteen Spanish prisoners who were

Captain Dryer escorted the ambu-
lances. The Spaniards displayed great
gratitude for this kindness and there
was considerable fraternizing in which
the Sraniards' desire for peace stood
out like headlight in fog. There is
no doubt that the subordinate Spanish
officers are anxious to surrender but
they practically said that upon Cen

Madrid. July 11.-Marshal Martinez
Campos. in the course Of an interview
at San Sebastian. said 1t was impos-
fible that negotiations for peace should
be entered upon by the Spanish and
American governments, for the reason
that the time was not yet ripe. He
had always advocated reforms for
Cuba since 1869, but not autonomy. He
fully recognized that autonomy had not
yielded the expected results, partly
in consequence of the island war and
partly because 1t had been granted too
late. In 1896 he said, the late Senor
Canovas, when premier. had proposed
to him to introduce autonomy, but he
tCampos) declined to do SO, considering
the time unfavorable.
General Campos denied a remark
attributed to him that he was less con-
cerned at the loss Of Admiral Cervera's
squadron than at the position of the
queen regent. II believe" he declared,
that Spain and the monarchy are In
timately connected, but am first of all
a Spanlard. My affection for the queen
regent is great. but my affection for
my country is greater"
impartial says the Carlists are

ment. 1t ayers that an aide de camp
Of General Maximo Gomez has assert
ed that there will be new insurrection
in Cuba against the Americans, "as
the Cubans believe the Americans do
not desire the Independence of the isl

rule"

sible If the United States claims pos
session of Cuba. "The Spanish army

SPANISH PRISONERS.
Arrival at Portsmouth of the CAPTURED
Officers and Sailors of Ger
yera'S Squadron.

Portsmouth, N. H.. July 1.-THE st.
Louis arrived yesterday with 7i6 Span
ish enlisted sailors and 81 officers
aboard, captured from Crvera's squad
ron. Her coming was heralded by the
United States coast signal service The
fidelity with which the course Of the
big ship was traced and reported to the
navy department at short intervals
from the moment that she was first
sighted off the coast affords a striking
Illustration of the perfection which this
branch of the naval service has at
tanned under the energetic direction of
Captain Bartlett. Every life saving
station and every lighthouse on the
coast which sighted the ship flashed
Its report by telephone and telegram
straight into the headquarters of the
service In the navy department. The in
cident is gratifying as showing the re-
mote danger of any hostile ship ap-
preaching United States ports without
the knowledge of the naval department.
Admiral Cervera himself was among
the unwilling passengers on the St.
Louis. He will not remain at Ports
mouth, however, but as soon as the en-
listed men are landed on Seavys
Island, In the quarters prepared for
them at short notice. he. with the Of
ficers of his squadron save the sur
geons, who will be left with the men,
will be sent to Annapolis to be con-
fined within the limits of the Naval
academy reservation. The bringing of
Admiral Cervera to the United States
does not signify that the proposition to
parole him has been finally dismissed.
1t has been amply POSTPONED for
time. though it may be surmised that
the admiral will be much more COM
Portable here until the feeling of un-
natural resentment displayed against
him in Spain has subsided.
All of the Spanish commissioned Of
ficers have been on parole and had the
freedom of the ship with one exception,
de Cuba, who was trying to escape
from the city on Admiral Cerveras
flagship when she was destroyed on
that memorable morning of July g. He
refused to sign the parole papers and
was consequently confined in one Of the
cabins under guard. The remainder of
the prisoners were confined between
decks and closely guarded.
The prisoners, as well as nearly all
the Spanish officers, are dressed In
clothes of every description. as most Of
them had come aboard with very littls
clothing and what they were wearing
was given them by the officers and men
from the American fleet.

Only II Question of Resistance

Havana. July lila Lucha in its
editorial column yesterday said: 1.-The
actual problem confronting Spain is the
easiest the nation has had in all her
history. although at first sight 1t APP
pears most difficult and complex. 1t
is not necessary to employ in its solu-
tion either sIyness or the expenditure
of any millions for a great defense, as
has been required in other wars. 1t is
only a question of resistance, which
can be sustained If the Spanards have
only provisions and ammunition. To
beat the Yankees in Cuba needs only
300 or 400 men for period of two or
three years. The cost which that sig
nies to our neighbors is greater than
100 islands of Cuba Is worth to them"

Dlckey For Postmaster
COMMUNICATEDl.

EDITOR OF THE REPUBLICAN. SIR
At a time when the President cannot
decide upon man to succeed Postmaster
Enoch Moore 1t is suggested that he should
name John 4. Dickey. The Republicans
are not entitled to the position. They are
fighting over straws andat the same time
permitting the nuggets to go to the bot
tom. Dickey could appoint John J. CAL
laghan as his assistant. 1t is in order
nowadays for Republican President to
appoint Democrats to office AMI ignore the
mon who for years have stood by the party
ship In all the storms. Where Is the use
of being a Republican in Delaware any
how? A handful of men seem to think
they can lead thousands of Republicans by
the nose. If these men were dead the Re-
publican party would live and prosper
BY all means let us have a Democrat for
Postmaster. How would 1t do to place
Moore under the Civil Service. X. X. G.
