spain's Captured Sailors Arc Contcntsd
with Their Treatment.
The naval battle off Santiago, in which
AdmiralC Cervera's feet was annihilated,
has placed in the keeping Of the Gov
ernment about fifteen hundred pris-
oners. These sailors, who left their
native shores for the purpose OF do
ing damage to American coasts and to
capture or sink our ships, are living
contentedly at Camp Long, Seavey's
Island, Portsmouth, N. H., which was
prepared expressly for them.
These sailors are study, and for
many reasons. They represent the
national type; they show the quality
Of men who form the Spanish army
and navy; they are unmistakable evil
dences why the Spanish Government
was able to plunge the people into n
war which threatens the reigning
dynasty with greater dangers than
those Of peace.
The captured sailors are made up Of
men and boys. In their ranks can be
seen the gray haired veteran, who has
spent his life in the Spanish navy,
down to the smooth and innocent faced
boy, who, were he an American, would
yet be at school, enjoying his youth.
The suffering the prisoners endured
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1898-08-03

while they we're in Santiago Harbor,
and the effects of the naval battle,
made many of them look extremely
wretched. When they landed at Camp
Long they had hollow cheeks, sunken
eyes and sallow compilations. Many
of them were barely able to move and
bandages, covered their wounds.
It is a surprising fact that the
greater number of the prisoners are
boys, and yet this illustrates much
better than anything else the despera-
tion Of the Spanish Government.
Taken from their homes and impressed
into the service where their heart is
not, it is hardly surprising that the
Spanish navy was SO easily defeated
at Manila and Santiago. The
type of the Spanish sailor between
the veteran and the boy is q
fair specimen of the peasantry class.
Under normal conditions he is a
strong, able-bodied fellow, willing to
work when commanded, unlettered
and superstitious. There is no doubt
that these sailors have deal Of faith
in their officers, as the scenes of their
parting testify, and the sailors would
be willing to follow their officers
wherever they were led.
Now that they are prisoners on
American soil, they are receiving the
treatment which, it can be safely said,
has rarely been given to captured foe
in time of war. They are receiving
every consideration. Comfortable
quarters have been provided, good
food and decent clothes have fallen to
their lot. They are made to feel as
Admiral Cervera so prettily said, that
these prisoners "are the wards of the
American people," That expresses it.
We are civilized, and treat our unfor-
tunate enemies in civilized way.
These sailors are beginning to ap-
preciate their treatment. Their
minds have been disabused of the
falsehoods they were told by their
officers. The prisoners were told We
would kill them if they fell into our
hands. Allowing for the misfortunes
they have suffered, they are happy in
their imprisonment, and their natures
are softened by such kind treatment.
As they are naturally dull, they do
not indulge in much amusement in
their confinement. They associate in
groups and spend most Of the time
talking, probably about their folks at
home, their mothers. wives and chill.
dren, as the case may be. Some oi
them play cards, and pass the hours
that way. Some walk around for ex.
ercise, but as whole the sailors dc
not seem to be very fond OF it. They
like to lay around and take life easy,
and thankful for whatever comes theii
way.

Imitation jewels are gaining favor
every day, in spite of the superstitious
prejudice that makes some women
look askance even at a rhinestone
buckle. Barrel-sbaped buttons in
diamonds, pearls, turquoises or opals
are new and effective. They are placed
at intervals on the narrow waist band.
Most of the paste jewels are set in oxi-
died silver or steel, but probably the
prettiest imitation ornaments for even

after the designs of the Louis XIV

SPAIN'S COAST CITIES.
Strongly Fortified But Not Able to With
stand Watson's Fleet.

; The most important Of the coast
.cities of Spain on which Admiral
Watson fixed his glittering eye 10
Cadiz, on the southwestern coast, be-
tween Cape ST. Vincent and Gibraltar.
It is the principal city of the Province
of Andalusia, the garden Of Spain,
and has q population Of about go, ZOO
souls. Andalusia is the theme Of the
most glowing descriptions Of travellers
in Spain, and it is often characterized
as the most beautiful country and the
finest climate on the globe. In that
land spring is welr advanced in Feb
ruary, and there is marvellous blend
ing of northern and southern vegeta-
tion. Apple and pear trees blossom
by the side of oranges, cacti and
aloes, and the ground everywhere is
covered with flowers. In the valleys
even the banana, cotton and sugar
cane are grown, while the fruits of
this region are esteemed the best in
Spain.
Cadiz is built on the extremity of q
tongue OF land projecting about five
kuitcS iutO tuC SCu anu pc-
tween it and the mainland magnifi-
cent bay. The site very much resem-
bles that of some of the West Indian
cities, particularly San Juan, in Porto
Rico. Seen from either side, the city
appears as an island, and II is known
far and wide as the "White City" De
Amicis says: '"To give an idea of
Cadiz, one could not do better than
write the word white with pencil
on blue paper and make note on the
margin, Impressions of Cadiz.' >" The
natives call il "The Silver Dish," and
il has also been likened to an ivory
model set in emeralds. Every house
in the city annually receives coat of
whitewash, which is glaring and dis
agreeable when new, but soon mel
lows to fine ivory tint. For the uni
formity and elegance of its buildings
Cadiz must be ranked ms one of the
finest cities in Spain, and 1t is said to
surpass all others in cleanliness, al
though fhe death rate is nearly forty
five per thousand.
The city is six or seven miles in cir.
cumference. and is surrounded by q
wall with five gates, one of which com.
municates with the isthmus. The rail.
road station is just outside the wall,
as are also many Of the business houses
of the place. Ths walls are thirty ia

ranged in broad terraces, is favorite

1t will undoubtedly surprise those
to whom women's clubs arc but q
name that there are more than 2410
clubs scattered throughout the coun-
try, with total membership OF half q
million women. Furthermore, this
number includes only clubs that are
regularly organized and federated, and
not the hosts Of social, literary, edu-
cational and musical or patriotic soci-
cites, which from time to time are alb
sorbed into the federation, that is
steadily increasing. This club move
ment began in 1852, with one or two
small societies. II has extended
throughout the United States and has
branches in Africa, South America,
India, England and Australis. Wom-
ems clubs may be divided into three
great classes: Those organized for
self-improvement Of their own men,
bers, those whose object is practical
effort in the furtherance Of some cause
believed to be good, and those who
work for mutual improvement and
in the home and in the community.
The great department clubs, like the
Sorosis and Chicago Woman's club,
are, perhaps, the most typical. In
addition to the study of art, litera-
ture, music and drama, they are en-
gagged in practical work ON the lines
Of philanthropy, social economics,
finance and parliamentary law. Maine
was the first state to take up the spe-
cial work of education. Minnesota,
Iowa, Utah and Colorado have been
very active in the cause OF education
and village and town Improvement,
and some of the southern states, nota-
bly, Georgia and Tennessee, are doing
much in the way of educating the
mountaineers by means Of reading cir
cles and travelling libraries. The
Woman's club Of New Orleans has es-
tablished night schools, and the edu-
cation committee Of the New York
