srANrARDs CHEER OLD GLORY.
Prisoners Leaving New York Pleased
With Their Treatment.

New York July 24-PriSoners of war
cheering the flag of their captors was
the unusual sight witnessed at the Union
dock in Brooklyn to-day. The sight was
all the more significant as the cheers
came from Spanish threats.
The 254 prisoners captured on the four
prize steamers now in port were about TO
sail for home under the British flag. They
were on board the Hesperia, of the Anchor
line, and just as she backed out OF the
dock one Of the patrol gun boats came
by.
With one accord the prisoners raised
three mighty cheers which startled the
people on the Brooklyn shore and could
be heard on Governors Island. 1t was
the best they could do in thanking Uncle
Sam for the kindness lavished on them
while they were prisoners.
The hesperia left at clock bound for
Italian ports. She will put the prisoners
on shore at Gibraltar. The prisoners
We're a happy lot and their appearance
showed thar they had been we'll treated
while in enforced idleness.
Among the 254 prisoners were six Off
GERS. They have cabin accommodation
while the others are in the Storage.
one of the Spanish officers said: IF our
men IN the field realized either the hope
lessness of our cause or the treatment they
would get at the hands of the Americans
they would not fight long. The easiest
ana quickest way to reach home is to sur
render l believe in fighting where there
Is chance, but our blockaded soldiers do
not know we have not chance They
can get home quicker by surrendering, and
IN the meantime be well fed and taken
care or But they think the Americans
will murder them"
Inc Austrian consul paid $17 a head for
the passage of each of the prisoners.

sIGsBEE RECALLS THE MAINE.
Satisfied When He Gazed on the
Charred HuII<s of Cervern's ships.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
New York. July 22.-rhe United States
cruiser st. Paul, Capt. sigsbee, which ar
rived here to-day, with Lieut.. Hobson, left
Siboney on the morning of the 18th. Capt.
Sigsbee said he dtd not know what he was
here for beyond bringing Mr.. Hobson. His
was a scout ship, subject to orders which
depend on the cXigency of the moment.
About 800 tons of coal would be taken on
board, but he did not know how long he
would be here. The St. Paul brought no
mail from the soldiers.
Capt Sgsbee said he had been on board
the wrecks of the Maria Teresa and Ami
rante Oquendo. He had seen these war
ships in Havana harbor IN all the glory
of their strength and the beautiful carved
woodwork of their interior finish The
change made In them was appalling. Not
a sign of wood was left anywhere, and the
shining metal which had given them such
a look of massive strength was broken and
twisted into nothing better than junk iron.
The Almirante Oouendo was much the
worse looking wreck and she was broken
in two on the rocks. The Maria Teresa
had one turret badly wrecked, but another
looked as if II had not been touched and
the guns In IL looked as effective as ever
they did.
In one of the turrets that was looked
down into, the bodies of several officers
could be seen and a diamond ring was
seen on the finger of one of them. A slight
smoke was still curling up from the Tere-
sa The wreckers were alongside of the
Teresa, while he was there, and II seemed
there would be no doubt of saving her.
From what he had heard, he thought the
same of the Reina Mercedes, which, he
said was of 1900 tons, equal to the Alton
so XII, at Havana and the largest of the
ships of the fleet destroyed by Dewey She
was comparatively modern and he believed
could be made a valuable acquisition 10
the navy. IL was believed, too, that the
Cristobal Colon would be saved though It
would cost considerable to get her up on
even keel again.

NAVAL RESERVES TO BE UTILIZED.

Monitors to BE Sent to Brunswick
and Port Royal.
Washington July A.-Brunswick and
Port Royal are to be given coast defense
monitors to be manned by the naval re-
serves. The old time monitors Cononicus
and Hahopas, which have been undergoing
repairs are to be sent South, one to each
of the above named places. There seems
some prospect, therefore, of the naval re-
serves getting something to do, though it
will hardly be in the line of fighting.
Since the destruction of all of Spain's
ships on this side of the Atlantic, the au-
thorites have determined to put this coast
be done soon, but in such a way as will
enable them to call it into service in
twenty-four hours, should it be necessary.
The reserves will be given an opportunity
for drills and chance to keep the mon
itors in condition, however.
Gen. Shafter reported to-day his action
in eXpelling certain correspondents from
Cuba. He has sent Scovel away, explain
ing that he considered this would be more
punishment to the man who slapped him
than it would to give him the notoriety of
a trial.
The Journal men were sent away for
plastering the city with Remember the
Maine placards, which the commanding
officer regarded as prejudicial to good or
der as tending to incite the soldiers to do
personal harm to the Spanish.

sANTIAGO's FEVER STRICKEN.
Comparatively Small Number of
Cases of Genuine Yellow Jack.

Cases of Genuine yellow Jack.
Washington, july PA dispatch recelv-
ed tonight by Adjt. Gen. Corbin says that
1886 new cases Of fever of ali classes were
reported in Gen. Skaters camp before
Santiago yesterday.
As the same dispatch reports only four
deaths-and none of them from yellow fe-
ver-from among the hundreds Of cases Of
fever known TO exist in the camp, the war
authorities are more than ever inclined
70 the belief that the cases of yellow fever
are of mild type.
Previous dispatches from Gen Shafter
and the medical officers of his
corps have indicated the exist
ence in the camp of a very large
number of cases OF malarial and dengue
fever, the latter being peculiar to the Gu
ban climate
Some clear cases of yellow fever are re-
ported, but the officials say they are few
as compared with those of other fevers.

by Adjt. Gen. Corbin, follows

MAUsER BULLET WOUNDS.
The Surgeons Call Them Humane.
Patients Recover If Not Killed
Outright.


From the New York Tribune.
Washington, July 21.-Lieut Col. Charles
Smart of the army surgical service, said
to-day in response 10 a question about the
character of wounds made by the Mauser
or small-caliber bullet:
after the fight at La Quasina and the
battle of July l, and 9. a report became
current that the Spaniards were firing ex-
plosive bullets, and that their bullets
spread in such way as 10 cause great lac
Grafton. That was the first report, and it
has been repeated constantly ever since
The fact is that the Mauser bullets used
by the Spaniards in the battles we have
had in Cuba make what surgeons call a
humane wound They drop the man at
the time ne is struck and take him from
the firing line, but if they do not kill him
then and there he gets Wen.
'Of all the men wounded In Gen. Shat
ter's command l have heard of only one
case of an amputa zion of limb as the re-
suit Of a bullet wound. The amputations
made there have followed a wound by a
bursting shell, where the bone has beer
shattered. The Mauser bullet does not
leave a wound nearly so difficult to heal
as do the bullets used in the Springfield
rifle.
During the civil war, when a man was
shot through the lungs by a bullet from
a Springfield rife he was almost sure to
die in a few days or few months from
consumption, or pneumonia or some other
affection brought on by the wound The
Mauser bullet VIII pass through the lungs
and the patient VIII recover 1t does not
crush bones so that amputations are nee
essary. A wound made by such bullet,
If il does not affect a vital part heals as
faa 90 Hob f1t
when the medical history Of this war is
written Il will show the most remarkable
results ever achieved in antiseptic treat
ment OF wounds. Every regiment, except
one under Gen. Shafter was provided with
a small package marked First Aid TO the
Wounded This package was carried in
the hip pocket by all the men.
This was extremely fortunate, because
after the transports discharged their pas
sengers they sailed away some where with
the medicine chests on them. When a
soldier was wounded the doctor reached
for the First Aid package carried by The
soldier himself and, applying it 10 the
wound, completed The bandaging then and
there. This antiseptic treatment caused
the wound 10 heal without the formation
of pus, and has shown wonderful results"
