'OUR Spanish PRISONERS LIVING N CLOVER.
Instead Of Trying to Escape It is Doubtful
If Any Of Our 6o2 Captives Could
Be Driven Away.
Portsmouth. N. H., letter.

Portsmouth, N. H., letter.
4 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 pris-
oners 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
BURBERRY bushes and scrubby grass
on knobs and hillsides. Col. James
Forney, commanding the Maine Guard,
had during his previous term of duty
at the navy yard laid out golf links on
this eastern end Of the island.
Today he uses the old iron hole
markers as dead line ranges. The
best hazards in the links are spoiled by
little new pine board town Of a dozen
houses, all but one of which are cut
of from the rest Of the island by q
high board fence. Within thirty-six
hours from the arrival of the st. Louis
in the lower harbor this village had
been equipped with all the creature
comforts demanded by a free born
American citizen.
The landing Of the Spaniards was
without ceremony or display. Two
black, 1at-iron shaped barges were
brought up, one after the other, from
the big liner, about mile away, and
made fast to Lieut.. Greeley's landing
place, at the foot of old Fort Sullivan,
now used as a reservoir. There were
few workmen and few ladies and
children from the post on the shore,
and a Gordon Of pleasure boats on .he
water, but no official demonstration of
any sort. There was not an officer,
nor even marine, in sight, and no
indication that the island was garri-
soned.
On the first barge Lieut.. Catlin, a
survivor Of the Maine disaster, brought
with him Capt. Moreu, of the Cristobal
Colon, to act as interpreter, and about
dozen American marines to take
care Of boatload of four hundred
Spanish prisoners of war. Lieut.. Cat
lin had navy revolver in his belt
instead Of his sword, and went at his
work without any fuss or feathers.
When six marines had scrambled
ashore and were strung along the bank

them, and after few puffs from bor-
rowed cigarettes the we'll Spaniards
slept long and soundly. More meals
followed with surprising abundance
and regularity, and great wagon loads
Of clothes were hauled over from the
navy yard and dumped at the feet Of
the prisoners.
The few Industrious spirits volun-
teered for camp work, and their work.
ing made a pleasant spectacle for those
who were not Industrious. With warm
new clothes and comfortable full
ness under ones belt, it is agreeable to
sit In the sun, or at least out Of the
rain, and discuss why it was that Ad-
miral Cervera did not utterly destroy
the American feet. To be sure there
are sentries and deep water in front,
and sentries, with high board fence
behind, backed by barbed wire and
Calling guns in the rear. What would
you? Shall sane men run away from
good food, good clothes and good
company to lose themselves in a
strange country and starve?
Perhaps it may not last, but that is
the sentiment in Camp Long at pres
ent. The landing of the prisoners and
the establishment of the camp was &C.
complished without the slightest hos
tile demonstration on the part of the
Spaniards. Some Of the men passive
ly object to being clean, but they can
put up with cleanliness if only they get
plenty Of tobacco.
Col. Forney has in the barracks at
the navy yard and on duty at the stock
ade about two hundred men, but Sur
geon Parsons says that If the Span
iards only understood that they were
to have their three square meals a
day a marine guard would be requir-
ed, not to keep them on the island,
but to drive them away from it. At
the navy hospital baths and clean
nightgowns and beds have transform
ed the patients who Monday afternoon
were groveling in the dust of the road
side.
There are three wounded men, one
having been shot in the leg. another
having been hacked in the face by a
Cuban machete while attempting to
get ashore from the burning ship. and
third who lost several toes from a
machete wound. There is an old man
whose legs are paralyzed, probably
from being so long in the water. All

OLD METHODS THE BEST.
Work Of Pupils in Public School Undo.
Two systems COMPARED.


Work Of Pupils in Public School Under
Two systems Compared.
From the New York Evening Post:
In the opinion Of Professor Richard G.
Schiedt Of Franklin and Marshall col
lege, nothing has been gained, but
something lost. in the abandonment Of
the old methods in public schools Of
alternate study and recitation periods,
and of brief recess during each school
session. This view was expressed in a
paper read before meeting in Lam
caster, Pa, of the Associated Heath
Authorities. The paper was scientific
and described psychological expert
ments undertaken by Professor
Schiedt and others to determine the
fatigue Of pupils under different condi-
tions. Passing the experiments, and
coming to the professors conclusions,
it appeared that under the Herbartian
method Of instruction, which provides
for alternate recitation and study pc
RODS, and does away with home work,
the power Of mental endurance exhib-
tied by the children was practically
without limit when the atmospheric
conditions were favorable. In the re-
suits the depressing or elevating influ-
ence of the atmosphere had an impor-
tant bearing. A partial remedy is the
session recess, affording opportunity
for physical exercises in the open air
and for a complete change in the at
mosphere of the schoolroom. This is
the more important, Professor Schiedt
says, as in this region the days with
unfavorable atmospheric conditions
are in the majority.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1898-08-19

the gangway was opened to the pris-
oners, who went off the barge in an
irregular struggling.
They were defeated and shipwrecked
sailors, and they showed it. Bare
headed and barefooted, with straggly
boards. and only couple of dirty gar
ments in most cases covering legs and
bodies, they passively obeyed the or
ders Of Capt. Moreu, and were gather
ed in ships companies by the calling
Of the roll. Hardly had a hundred
men been landed before the sick be-
gan to drop groaning upon the dusty
roadside.
The first official navy demonstration
on shore was made by the navy sur
geons, Drs. Parsons, Fits and Morris,
who walked over from the naval hos
pital. followed by an ambulance. Sur
geon-in-C Charge Parsons speaks Span
ish quite fluently, having been station
ed in Peru, but very little talk was
necessary to feel the pulse and see the
tongue Of a groaning Spaniard. With
oil possible gentleness the most seri-
ously sick were taken to the naval
hospital and given as good care as
could be given to American sailors.
So they landed, penniless. sick, dirty
and almost naked.
After the mastering was over the
drst shipload of prisoners was sur
rounded BY marines from the garri-
son and marched into the stockade,
the barefooted ones being chiefly
anxious to avoid the nettles that Turk
Cd in some Of the grassy places.

the other patients, about one hundred
and twenty-five, are suffering from ac-
climatic fever, which is not conta-
gious, but which causes chills, cramps
and great pain for about five days. The
surgeons say that this fever will go
through the camp, attacking all who
have not had it. About a score of
men are taken sick every day, and
about the same number are discharged
from the hospitals.
The convalescents and milder cases
of fever are cared for in the stockade
where one large building is used for
hospital purposes. Two Spanish chap
lains, two surgeons, an apothecary's
steward, and five junior lieutenants
have had q building built for their
special accommodation, and have been
fitted out with sailors clothes from the
navy yard storehouses. Their ward
room is fitted out with hunks and
abundant furniture. DR.. Suarez, who
speaks English little, says that while
there will be good deal for the doc
tors to do, they all expect to enjoy
themselves in camp. =
The civilizing influence Of q short
piece Of rope is still to be seen at Camp
Long. In olden times the rope was
used to COW starved and ill-treated
prisoners. Today It serves q different
purpose. Tho members of the oficer's
mess hardly got new clothes before
they began devising amusements, and
jumping rope has become very popu-
lar. Two Of the more sedate oficers
swing the rope while the others take
turns jumping. n:,

Ehs Tendency Of tho Age 10 Toward
Mural Decorations.

, Mural Decorations.
Probably at no time in the worlds
history has so much attention been
paid to the interior decoration Of
homes as at present. No home, no
matter how humble, is without its ham
diwork that helps to beautify the apart
ments and make the surroundings
more cheerful. The taste Of the Amer
icaa people has kept pace with the age
and almost every day brings forth
something new in the way Of a picture,
draping, piece of furniture or other
form Of mural decoration. One Of the
4 latest Of these has been given to the
world by the celebrated artist, Muville,
IN series of four handsome porcelain
game plaques. Not for years has any
thing as handsome in this line been
seen. The subjects represented By
these plaques are American Wild
Ducks, American Pheasant, American
Quail and English Snipe. They are
handsome paintings and are especially
designed for hanging on dining-roonl
walls. though their richness and beauty
entities them to place in the parlor
OF any home. These original plaques
