CHttRtD OLD GLORY
SPANISH PRISONERS SALUTE
THE STARS AND STRIPES
Thankful to Americans for the Kind
ness Shown Them-A Fat and
I Happy Lot 60 Home

NEW YORK, July 24.-Prisoners of war
cheering the flag of their captors was the
unusual sight witnessed at the Union dock
In Brooklyn today. The sight was all the
more significant as the cheers came from
Spanish threats. The 254 prisoners cap
tured on the four prize steamers now in
port were about to sail for home under the
British flag. They were on board the Hes
peria, OF the Anchor line, and just as she
backed out of the dock one of the patrol
gunboats 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 law
ished on them while they were prisoners.
The Hesperia left at p. m, bound for
italian ports. She will put the prisoners
on shore at Gibraltar. The prisoners were
a happy lot, and their appearance showed
that they had been well treated while in
enforced idleness.
Among the 254 prisoners were six off,
GERS. They had saloon accommodations,
while the others are in the steerage. One
Of the Spanish officers said:
'If our men in the field realized either
the hopelessness Of our cause or the treat
ment they would get at the hands of the
Americans, they would not fight long. The
quickest and easiest way to reach home Is
to surrender. I believe in fighting where
there Is a chance, but our soldiers do not
know we have not chance. They can get
home quicker by surrendering, and in the
meantime be we'll fed and taken care of.
Eut thev think the America NO will r,urdar
them"
The Austrian consul paid ST. head for
the passage of each of the prisoners.

STOLE THOUSANDS
WARNER, THE BANK WRECKER
CAUGHT AT LAST
Embezzled Over Half a Million-Was
Betrayed by Man He Had As
sisted-A Jolly Thief

LOUISVILLE, KY. July 24-Lewis War
ner, the Massachusetts, bank wrecker, who
was captured here yesterday, talked freely
today regarding his case. He bought all
the morning papers, and read carefully
every line that had been written about
him.
II guess I'm the only man In the United
States said he laughfngly.
Detective Tom Maher, to whom Warner
first confessed his identity, says the en-
bezzler offered him $4,000 In cash to re-
lease him. Maher says he and Warner
were sitting In Capt. Sullivan's private Of
fee. Warner drew his chair close to Ma
her, and, placing his hand on the officer s
shoulder, said:
"If you will let me go I'll give you $4,000
in cash. have not the money now, but
will get 1t in short order"
Maher says Warner had an expression ON
his face which told him that he meant ex-
actly what he said.
When seen at the jail this afternoon,
Warner was in good spirits. He shook
hands heartily with the Associated Press
reporter.
II suppose you want ms to tell all
know" he said, laughingly. II will not
do that, for then you would know as much
as 1. But I will talk to you. 1 don't in
tend to touch upon the relations with the
two Northampton banks, except to say
that am Lewis Warner, and am wanted
for embezzlihg large amount Of money.
1 do not know the exact amount, but from
all accounts, however, the shortage must
be over 100000. Furthermore, I would
rather be taken to Boston. I'm in serious
position! Mo one realizes that fact more
than do. In fact prison stares me in the
face regret my downfall all the more
on account of my two children. My wife
died three years ago. I do not expect to
find any friends in Massachusetts"
Warner In vigorous terms denounced
Charles Porter, the Northampton man,
who recognized him on the street here and
informed the police. He claimed that in
years gone by he had befriended Porter
and his relatives.
IT would not" he said, do what Porter
did for 100000"

spondent of the Daily News says: Accord
ing to dispatch from Washington, the
interview between Mr.. Mckinley and the
German ambassador, Won Holeben, was
cordial, the latter assuring the president
of the friendly feeling Of Emperor Will
liam and Germany towards the United
States. 1t is said that DR.. Won Holleben
conveyed Emperor williams desire for an
amicable statement of Americas intentions
regarding the Philippines. 1t is.not known
here whether Mr.. Mckinley responded.
The German firms at Manila have de-
cided to petition the government to obtain
from the United tSates indemnity for thei.
losses. They wanted the British traders to
join in the appeal, but the latter received
hint from London not to join, as Lord Sal
isbury had already received favorable as
surances from Washington.

OUR FOREIGN POLICY
THE CIVIC FEDERATION CALLED
TOGETHER
What Shall the Government Do With
the Captured Islands-A Nom
1, Political Congress

CHICAGO, July 24.-The Civic Fedora
tion of Chicago tonight gave out a call for
Z national conference to be held at Sara
toga, N. Y, August 10 and 20, to discuss the
future of the foreign policy of the United
States. The call is signed by over 1000 men
in every state in the Union. 1t says:
1.-THE undersigned deem 1t necessary that
a national conference be convened at an
early day to consider the future foreign
policy Of the United States. The war with
Spain gives promise Of the overthrow of
the Spanish power in Cuba, Porto Rico. the
Philippines and other Of that country's
colonial possessions. The question of what
disposition the United States should make
of these possession when peace Is reached
is none too soon in engaging the thought of
our people. The question impresses us as
being one of the most serious the American
people have had to consider. 1t is a new
question and one on which heretofore very
little thought has been bestowed by the
great majority of our people. Whether the
foreign policy of the fathers should be adj
hered to or departed from is enough to
challenge the earnest consideration of our
ablest, most thoughtful men. In our opinion
this conference should be composed of men
spect to party affiliations, whether they are
for or against a policy of territorial ex-
pansion, and men whose ability, position
and character entitle their opinions to the
respectful consideration of the people,"
The circular letter sent out by Chairman
Henry Wade Rogers and Secretary Ralph
NJ. Eastley, asking for signatures, stated
that neither the geneisi nor conduct Of the
war would be discussed nor any political
cast be given the proceedings, the object
being entirely educational.
The responses were prompt and enthusi-
astic Among the signatures are the fol-

Few officers in any army have had more

The Indian Fighters Report
We had q pleasant sail down, having TO
row the men ashore; took some time to get
OF. We left Siboney at p. m. yesterday
with the Eighth Ohio and came into camp
here about three miles from the front. In
company with General Breckenridge rode
to the front to General Wheeler's head
quarters, and flag of truce being up had
an opportunity to see the lines. We are al
most on top of them in front of Wheeler
being about 800 yards nearer to them, but
the country is rough going down to and
ascending, all covered by their fire. The
country all the way is the toughest ever
saw. We have to follow roads or trails and
come under heavy fire. their position conf
manding every approach. The work done
by these troops since landing, their hero
ism and patience under discomforts, heat
and rain calls for the highest praise; and
the work accomplished by Shafter, his per-
tinacity and goaheaditiveness under adj
verse circumstances and discomforts is q
revelation to me. doubt If there is an
other officer who would have gotten there
as he did. Our loss was most unfortunate
but from the character of the country
could not have been avoided If we had to
get there Last night the Eighth Ohio were
almost drowned out and it pours today;
that's the climate, and to get out Of 1t
would be cheaper to lose more by fighting
and success than by Illness which is sure
to come by staying. We have about thirty
cases Of yellow fever and many of malaria,
but the men are cheerful. General Duff
