Prisoners Feel That American Sol
diers Should Wait Upon Them.
New York, Sept. 2O.-A Santiago dis
patch TO the Herald says:
The balance of the Spanish garrisons
at Baracoa and sagua, 1,4o6 men, were
brought down yesterday. They were TAX
Ell in the steamers San Juan, ,tReina de
Los Angeles and Bessie to Guantanamo,
and there transferred to the transports
San Francisco and San Augustine.
The Spanish officers of these garrisons
complain bitterly of the treatment they
received at the hands of the Third I'M
munes, stating that they were bundled
roughly about, were refused facilities for
the removal of their baggage. and were
used as If they were criminals. not sub
ject to an honorable capitulation.
Upon inquiry, Major McCleary. of Gen.
Lawton's staff. who conducted the re-
moval, stated that the demands of the
prisoners were so unreasonable that he
eventually had to decline doing anything
for them, save merely TO carry out the
orders of their transportation. They
wanted TO carry all their belongings with
them, and wished the American soldiers
to cook for them, wait on them, and
serve them generally. They appeared to
believe it was personally led
tour at the expense of the American Gov
ernment.
Major McCleary had a narrow escape
from being shot by a drunken Spanish
officer al Baracoa. While McCleary was
sitting on the bridge of the Los Angeles
the officer came alongside the steamer
fiourishing revolver. He shouted that
he would shoot the Yankee pig who came
to take them away, and fired point blank
at McCleary, who was unarmed. After
the second shot the Spaniard was over
powered by soldiers.

seemed in great mental distress. She told
the hospital authorities that she was
looking for her brother, who was d sick
soldier. and of whom all trace had been
lost. The brother had gone TO Santiago

taken TO Montauk Point. From there he
had been sent TO a hospital in New York
or Brooklyn, but no one could tell where
The young woman and her mother had
come from the far West on a search for
the soldier boy. They had spent several
days at Camp Wikoff and found finally
that he had been sent TO a hospital in
this city Mother and daughter came
here, took lodgings, and went through all
the hospitals. examining ward after
ward The search was without avail.
They moved TO Brooklyn and there the
mother became so exhausted and unnery-
ed that the daughter continued the work
alone. When she came into the hospital
she said that she feared her brother was
too i'll TO give his name or that he had
been entered on the books under wrong
name. She scanned the death LIST closely
after struggle with her courage, and
did not find her brothers name.
Then, under proper guidance. she start

TEST OF ARMOR PLATE.
Trials TO BE Made mt Indian Head
Proving Grounds.


Two important tests of armor will be
made at the Indian Head Proving Grounds
Thursday The first trial will be of a
plate representing a group of armor made
by the Carnegie Company for the battle
ships Pereswict and Osshabya, under con-
struction at ST. Petersburg for the Rus
sian government The second test will be
with a section of Pinch plate manu-
factured by the Krupp process by the
Carnegie Company. The group of armor
is inches thick and ii will be tested by
6-inch gun. The Krupp seed plate will be
tested in comparison with those manufac-
tured and tested abroad, and ordnance ex-
perts expect it to give as good results as
the 6-ineh krupp seed plates recently
tested at the proving grounds. 1t will be
the target for Pinch projectiles fired at
high velocity.
The Importance of this test lies In the
fact that the showing made by the plate
will determine whether or not the Bureau
of Ordnance will recommend to Secretary
Long that the Krupp process take the
place of the double forging process in the
manufacture Of armor for American bat
tleships. If Secretary Long shogld adopt
such a recommendation, he will ask Con-
gress 10 increase the appropriation for
armor accordingly.
Congress has limited the price of armor
to 500 a ton. The Krupp process will
cost $3.50 ton. Plans are being prepared
by Capt. Charles ONeill, chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance, for guns of all cali
bers, which, If carried out, will. it is be-
lieved, give the navy weapons which will
permit the discharge of shell at a uni
form velocity of 5000 feet per second. The
guns up TO inches are 10 be of 80 calibers
in length. The 6-inch gun will be IS cali
bers and the S, 10 and Pinch guns will
be 10 calibers each. All of the guns will be
provided with larger powder chambers. in
order TO accommodate heavier powder
charges. and this will of course necessItate
an increase of weight.

Expenses of the Peace Commission.

The expenses of the Peace Commission

cept a liberal expense allowance. The

1t was the business of the sleeping car
conductor and his partner to see that

day Dan found a doctor in the sleeper

ONE CAUSE.
Why the Hospitals at Camp WfkOd
Were Not Ready.
(From the New York Evening PostO

(From the New York Evening Post)
The reporter was today told of an incl
dent that seems to throw some light on
the causes of the inadequacy of the trans
portation facilities during the early days
of the camp. and, incidentally, on the
methods in the transportation bureau of
the War Department at Washington. 1t
will be recalled that the building of the
hospitals was delayed until there was no
room for the sick, by the lack of mules
and wagons for hauling lumber from the
station to the hospital site; and that
many a man went hungry for a day be-
cause there were no teams to haul
rations to the camps. The reporter was
told on good authority that Gen. Young
when he first took command of the camp,
estimated the number of teams he would
need and made requisition on the trans
portation department for them.
your requisition is much too high"
some official in the transportation de-
partment telegraphed: you must cut it
in half" or words to this effect.
Cen Young doubtless thought that he,
who had carefully looked over the
ground, knew the needs better; so he de-
clined to make his requisition less. The
transportation department then sent a
message something like the following:
your requisition is too high. Can't let
you have so many"
No doubt 1t entered Gen. Young's mind
again that he knew best. At any rate it
is said that he telegraphed the depart
ment that as many teams as he had
asked for would really be needed. The
department, it is said, then took the mat
ter in its own hands. and sent what wa
gons and mules it thought would do. A
week or two proved not only that the de-
partment's estimate was too low, but
hot o.
half high enough. The result was seen
in the overcrowded condition of the hos
pitals when the first few transports had
arrived.
