idea of the fighting strength Of the
United States, and this is sure to be

this will do much to dissipate the dense

which now exists throughout Spain.
Several conditions assure us that the
returned soldiers will not come back.
In the first place, Spain has no feet
strong enough to convoy transports. In
the second place, the prisoners would
forfeit their right to be treated as pris-
oners Of war if again captured bearing
arms against the United States Lastly,
the one experience in Cuba is enough
for the average Spaniard, and most of
them would rather die peaceably at

SENT BACK TO SPAIN.
HOW UNCLE SAM SOLVES ONE OF THE
PROBLEMS OF VICTORY.

The Returning Of Torals Surrendered
Army Establishes Unique Precedent.
Why the Transported Soldiers VIII Not
Go Back to Cuba to Fight Again.
One Of the unexpected problems of
victory which have confronted Uncle
Sam and one which he has met and
solved with the usual Yankee prompt
ness has been the disposal of his numer-
Gus prisoners of war.
When hostilities with Spain were be-
gun, probably very few Americans reck-
oned on this phase Of the business. It
was known, Of course that there were
q great number of Spanish soldiers in
Cuba, and every loyal citizen was conf
dent that sooner or later they would
cease to fight for Spain. What was to
become of them was lost sight of. Per-
haps the average American imagined
that every Spaniard in sight was to be
obliterated in battle, wiped out, de-
stroyed.
But the Spaniard does not fight that
way, as we have recently learned He
has wholesome distaste for becoming
deceased. To avoid this he surrenders
and becomes instead of dead hero a
living prisoner with healthy appetite.
AS such the responsibility is at once
transferred to the victor. Just what
would have happened to American
troops had they been captured in large
numbers by the Spanish we do not
know. Perhaps it is better not to specu-
late. But Uncle Sam has big heart as
well as strong right arm, and he is
bound to be humane, even in warfare,
whenever possible. So it became neces-
sary to adopt some policy with refer
ence to captured prisoners.
The surrender of such great body of
troops as that commanded by General
Toral and under the existing conditions
furnishes an incident without parallel
in warfare. Consequently there was no
precedent to follow as to their disposal.
But Uncle Sam has a way Of making
his own precedents, or rather of doing
without them altogether. He figured up
even before the surrender that it would
cost him big sum to keep the conquer
