Perhaps il may not last, but that is

There are three wounded men, one
having been shot in the leg, another
having been hacked in the face by a
Cuban macbete while attempting to
get ashore from the burning ship, and
a third who lost several toes from
machete wound. There is an old man
whose legs are paralyzed, probably
from being SO long In the water. All
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 Ave days. The

about the same number are discharged

where one large building il used for
hospital purposes. Two Spanish chap
lains, two surgeons, an apothecary's
steward, and five junior lieutenants
have had a 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. Or. Suarez. who
speaks English little, says that while
there will be a good deal for the doc
tors to do, they all expect TO enjoy
themselves in camp.
The civilizing influence OF a 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 il serves a different
purpose. The members of the officer s
mess hardly got new clothes before
they began devising amusements, md
jumping rope has become very po.,,-
lar. Two OF the more sedate officers
swing the rope while the others take
turns jumping.
The horrors of war already seem far
away, and the most important things
in the world seem TO be the delights
OF good living. Admiral Carpenter
who is in temporary command Of The
navy yard, has closed the island &c
curious visitors, who are not annoying
when they get long range views from
the New Castle and Kittery shores.
Altogether the camp promises TO be so
quiet that Colonel Forney may lay out
new golf links, and perhaps allow
the Spanish officers to learn the game

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
blueberry bushes and scrubby grass
on knobs and hillsides. Col. James
Torney. 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 Ey
q 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 hsrbor this village had
been equipped with all the creatuIc
comforts demanded by a free born
American citizen.
The landing OF the Spaniards was
without ceremony or display. Two
black, fat-ircn shaped barges were
brought up, one after the other. from
the big liner, about q mile away. and
made fast to Lieut.. Greeley's landing
place, at the foot Of old Fort Sullivan,
now used as reservoir. There were
q few workmen and few ladies and
children from the post on the shore,
and Gordon of pleasure boats on he
water, but no official demonstration of
any sort. There was not an officer
nor even a marine, in sight. and no
Indication that the island was garri-
1ned
