prison he becomes model convict, ready

If some of the petty inmates try to es-

news to the proper officials, enabling them
to get out the prison howitzer and turn on

GUS class in the institution.
1t is found that the smaller the crime
the more vicious the prisoner. Under
the new law the best men are the murder
, ers, while the prize fighters and till tap
pers are unworthy of consideration.
Such is the remarkable result of hu-
name law. The murderers condemned
for life recognize the hopelessness of
their condition. Being gentlemen, they
would not escape if they could and de
spising the working of political wires,
they seldom secure pardon. These
murderers are the most desirable prison
ers, each a kind of Socrates philosophi-
cally bowing to fate. Never are they in
clined to INSTRUMENTATION; in fact, they
vie with the keepers in aiding the warden
to preserve discipline.

Washington May Seen. Stewart l..
Woodford, United STAGES minister to
Spain, arrived in Washington from New
York this evening shortly before 8
O'Clock ,
He went almost directly 70 the White
House, where he was given most cordial
reception by the President
He remained in conference with the
President until a late. hour the entire
Htspano- American situation being infor-
mally and thoroughly discussed.
Gen. Woodford declined to be interview
ed upon the subject. The President assur-
ed Cen sWoodford that his work through
out the delicate crisis met his entire APP
proval.
1t was learned tonight thai The admins
trdtion had a purpose in transmitting to
Gen. Woodford the ultmatum of the
United States to Spain in open English, in
stead of in the state department cipher
which is usually employed In cable corre-
spondence with diplomatic reports.
II was expected by the President that
the message to Minister Woodford would
be laid before the Sagasta ministry before
it Was delivered 10 Gen Woodfcrd ana
in this he was not incorrect, as events
proved.
4 ne ucSSdSc was detdYcu many hours in
delivery, and minister Woodford afterwarc
learned that the ulumafum had been in
the hands of Premier Sagasta and had
been considered by the cabinet long be-
fore he learned thai it had arrived.
Thus il was the Spanish government was
enabled to give him his passports before
he had an opportunity TO deliver The vi
timatum formally to the Madrid govern
ment
The fact that the ultimatum was not
presented to the Spanish government was
entirely satisfactory 20 the administration.
as 1t was in accordance with the expec-
tation OF the President.
Consul General Bowen, whose head
quarters We're at Barcelona, arrived here
tonight, in company with Gen. Woodford
He, too, declined to make any statement
for publication.

On proposal to the existing authorities

1t Is almost certain that no move in the
direction of Cuba will be made from here

everything is in readiness for the embar-

desks that one of the officers was com

not working on Sunday; this is simply an
extension of the executive day of Satur-

Secretary Day spent a good part of the
day in his Office going over kilograms and
mail dispatches and consulting with Sec
ond Assistant Adee, so that the depart
ment was fully prepared to deal with any
advices that might come by cable and
require immediate action.
In the navy department, Col. Roosevelt
was at his desk, while the navigation bu-
reau had almost full force at work.
The bureau of yards and docks was also
open, and Capt oNelll, chief of the ord
nance bureau, had good deal of business
on hand.
In the war department both Gen. Niles
and Adjt. Gen. Corbin were hard at work.
There are outward evidences of a change
of plan for the Cuban campaign that can
not be described at present. but which
promise to be very acceptable to the thou
sands of people who are waiting for devel-
opments. Maj Gen. Wilson spent some
time in conference with Gen. Miles going

men in the city to-day. kilograms were
pouring In on him from every part of the
country, mostly in reference to the assem-
bling of the great volunteer army now in
progress in every state and territory of

London, May 9.-The Hong Kong cor

There was an act of treachery on the
part of a Spanish ship which lowered her
nag and then fired al a boats crew sent
TO take possession of her. She did moi hit
the boat, but our guns were turned on
her and tore her to pieces. She went to
the bottom with all on board.

THE SpaniaTds had fought to their
last gasp and now surrendered. They had
been announcing that the Americans
would kill every one in Cavte, and when
we landed a long procession of priests
and sisters of mercy met the boat from
the Petrol and begged our men not to
lnjure the wounded in the hospitals. As a
matter of fact, the Americans rescued
some 200 Spaniards and sent them ashore.

Curiously enough, an American was
among those made prisoners. Seaman
Scott of Baltimore was "shanghaied" by
the SpaniarRs crew at 1Buenos Ayres, and
he was glad to get back in American
