geons, an apothecary's steward and
five junior lieutenants have had a
building built for their special accom-
mediation, and have been fitted out
with sailors clothes from the navy
yard storehouses. Their wardroom is
fitted out with hunks and abundant
furniture.
The civilizing influence of a short
piece of rope is still to be seen IN
Camp Long. In the olden times the
rope was used to COW starved and i'll
treated prisoners. To-day it serves
different purpose. The members of
the officers mess hardly got new
clothes before they began devising
amusements, and jumping rope has
become very popular. Two of the
more sedate officers swing the rope
while the others take turns jumping.
The horrors of war already seem
far away, and the most important things
in the world seem to be the delights of
good living. Admiral Carpenter, who
is in temporary command of the Navy
Yard, has closed the island to curious
visitors, who are not annoying when
they get long range views from the
New Castle and Kittery shores.
The scene on shore of the prison
front on Seavey's Island on a recent
afternoon between five and six o'clock
presented most novel and interest
ing picture. The prisoners had just
finished their afternoon meal and had
swarmed to the waters edge to wash
their bowls, plates and spoons. The
chatter of the dishes and the laughter
and animated conversation of the pris-
oners made such babel of noises that
they could plainly be heard on the
Newcastle shore on the other side of
the Piscataqua River.
Hundreds of boats gathered in front
of the Spaniards on the beach and
watched them at their work and en-
joyed the animated scene. for the
"Dons" seemed happy as larks and
evidently greatly pleased at the atten-
ton shown them. Many ladies in the
boats had provided themselves with
kodaks, and hundreds of pictures were
taken of the prisoners that will prove
valuable souvenirs of the American
Spanish war as time goes by. The
Spaniards enjoyed having their pic
lures taken, and many of them gath
cred in groups and posed in pictur-
esque attitudes and waited their turns
for the camera.
A colored prisoner, black as Erebus,
waded out into the water up to his
knees, and, striking his bowl and
plate together Ito attract attention,
placed his hands by his side, rolled
the whites of his eyes heavenward,

STORY ABOUT scnLEy.


How That Eminent Naval O6cer Got

How Commodore Schley got his frs'
command Is an amusing episode in his
early career. After leaving the Mag

name is of no consequence, and he Is
dead now-was a devotee Of John Bar

to his cabin, where he usually
stayed week. The Owasco was sta
toned off Mobile, and was one of q
small squadron of which Captain
James Allen Of the Richmond was se.
Nor officer.
One day Quartermaster Of the Rich

the captains gig Of the Owasco was
approaching, the captains pennant fly

captain Of the Owasco. Allen put on
his uniform coat, the side boys were or
dered, and the boatswain's mate made
ready for the three pipes at the gang
way. When the Owasco's gig came
alongside the man who sprang up the
ladder was Lieutenant Schley.
II expected to see Captain Of

sarcasm.
II am commander Of the Owasco,

"Since whenT' asked Allen,

and then shut him up in his cabin.

Allen was fond Of Joke, and he was
at first disposed to laugh at the young

for you to lower that pennant in the
gig, 60 back to your ship, sir, unlock

into the parlor by broad doors is the
dining room, which is carpeted like
the parlor and contains an oak dining
set. The passage chamber, which
communicates with the bed room, is
the Admiral's private Office. It is
provided with a desk, chairs, good
lights and writing material. All the
mail matter sent and received by the
prisoners goes through the Office of
the superintendent, and is censored.
The Spanish officers are not being
pampered with Injuries. They are re-
ceiving the same food that is given to
the naval cadets.
Admiral Cervera has house which
is occupied by three or four others
besides himself and his son. The
cook and the steward of the Santee
have been placed at his disposal, and
q servant to attend to his personal
wants. The last occupant of the
house was Lieutenant Cove. The
other prisoners occupy the old cadets
quarters ON Stribling row.

Civilization while you wait would be
an appropriate motto for the prison
stockade at Camp Long. The camp is
on Seavey's Island, part of the Navy
Yard, which on the map appears In
Kittery, Me, and on official documents
at Portsmouth, in New Hampshire.
Two days before the st. Louis
steamed into the harbor with 692
Spanish prisoners of war on board the
camp ground was not much better than
a desert. This end of the island is
bound with rocks which stick up
through the blueberry bushes and
scrubby grass on knobs, and hillsides.
Within thirty-six hours from the ar
rival of the st. Louis in the lower har-
Dor the village had been equipped
with all the creature comforts de-
manded by free born American citi-
zen.
The landing of the Spaniards was
without ceremony or display. Two
black, fatiron shaped barges were
brought up, one after the other, from
the big liner, about mile away, and
made fast to Lieutenant Greely's land
ing place, at the foot of old Fort Sulli-
van, now used as a reservoir. There
were few workmen and few ladies
and children from the post on the
shore, and Gordon of pleasure boats
on the water, but no official demon
stration of any sort. There was not
an officer, nor even a marine, i'll sight,
and no indications that the island was
garrisoned.
On the first barge Lieutenant Cat
lin, a survivor of the Maine disaster,
brought with him Captain Moreu, of
the Cristobal Colon, to act as interpre-
ter, and about dozen American ma
rines to take care of bootload Of four
hundred Spanish prisoners of war.
Lieutenant Catlin had navy revolver
in his belt instead of sword, but
went at his work without any fuss or
feathers. When six marines had
scrambled ashore and were strung
along the bank, the gangway was
opened to the prisoners, who went of
the barge in an irregular struggling.
They were defeated and shipwrecked
