The War Has BrOught:
Out Good Art Work

Thu excellence of much of the illus
tration work produced during the pres
emf war has been the theme Of univer-
sal comment. The advance Of recen;
years in this field Of newspaper work
is made distinctly apparent IL one COM
pares the better class of picture work
that has beer accorded generous space
in the leading newspapers with the in
different material hat found use in a
very limited number Of newspa Ar pub
LEGATIONS at the time Of the ciSil war.
often the illustration serves a useful
purpose. n modern-day cut is not
so often a sprawling attempt to picture
an impossible scene representing an ac-
tual engagement on the field of battle;
the effort of the artists is, rather, TO
present local conditions, to execute
good portraiture representative of men
whose names are before the public or.
through the service Of he camera. to
present. true to life, the incidents Of
camp or field. one Of the most success
full of the artists at the front, who
sketches what he actually sees, is Will
lam Bengough, who has done some fa-
mously excellent work for the New
York Journal and for the Leslie Syndi-
cate service of which, in part. the
Standard has awaited itself. Several
of his admirable portraits have found
a place in these columns The illustra-
lions on this page are along another
line. but they have the merit of pre-
senting sketches made from actual life
in the region near Santiago by Mr..
Bengough. Respecting their appear
ance account is TO be taken of the fac
tina they are presented on a daily
newspapers ordinary news print" pa
per and that they are rushed through
with all the hurry permitted by the
modern high-speed press of the styl'
used by the Standard.

In the seventeenth century the aver
age duration of life was only thirteen
wears: in the eighteenth. twenty; in the
present century it is thirtysix. This
great increase in the average length
of human life is not. however. an in
dication Of an increase in the vigor
and vitality of the race. but it is rath-
err due to the fact that cholera. the
black plague and other devastating
scourges which formerly overspread
whole countries at frequent intervals.
sometimes several times during cen
fury, have been brought more and
more under control by improved pub
lie sanitation and quarantine. The
real test of the vitality of the race is
not the average length Of human life
but the proportion Of centenarians
The proportion Of persons who have
attained great age is without doubt al
the present time much less than ever
before in the history of the world.

The United States possesses an island
suitable for coaling station, and even
for u naval station, in the Pacific, nearly
27OO miles west of Honolulu and in the
very doorway Of Manila. 1t is known as
Marcus of Weeks, and is 200 miles from
Hawaii, more than half way to the Phil

Foster, commander of sailing vessel ply

He found it while out cruising and took
possession. 1t was at that time unclaimed

THE "PROUO" SPANlARp.
A Former CAPITA n General of Cuba
that Was Not Over ScrupuIous.

AS the question of Spanish good
ialth is prominent in the press these
days, this pertinent anecdote of the
civil war will be timely. 1t Is told in
Bullock's Secret Service of the Confed-
crate States. Capt. Bullock tells of the
exciting incidents concerning the free
ing of the rebel ram Stonewall from
the international complications attend
ant on her release from the French
shipyard where she was built: how she
was watched by the agents of the Fed
eral Governments; how she was fo:-
lowed to Denmark, whittier she went
under the Danish flag: how she was
again followed to Ferrol, Spain. by the
United States ships Niagara and Sacra-
mento: how she ellded them there and
sailed for the coast of the United States
with the evident intent Of attacking the
Federal ships, for any one Of which
she was more than match, being
then the most formidable ironclad
afloat.
But when the Stonewall. under the
command Of Capt. Page, reached Ha-
vana in May. 1865, Page learned of the
surrender OF Gen. Lee, and soon after
OF the capture Of Jefferson Davis.
Pages funds were exhausted. The
Confederacy had collapsed. The posi-
ton was perplexing. Capt. Page OPEN
ed negotiations with the Spanish au-
thorities at Havana for the surrender
of the ship to them If they would ad-
vance the money to pay Off the crew.
Capt. Page sent Lieut.. Carter to the
captain general to make the arrange
ments. Carter reported that after five
minutes conversation the captain gen.
eral asked him what sum was required
Carter replied, $4,000. The captain
general said: "You had better make II
100000" Carter replied that his or
ders were to ask $4,000. The captain
general then turned to an official and
babe him write Il document, and then
turning again to Carter. said: "Shal
we not make it $1O,OOOY But Garter
obeyed orders and accepted only SIG,
600.
1t Is quite evident that this high Of
fetal. the captain general Of Cuba, wa'
attempting to get the Confederate
naval officer to ask for 100000 to pa!
off his crew. when he needed only SIG.
600, the difference to be divided be
tween them When the Confederate OF
fcer absolutely refused to accept eithe
100000 or $4,000, but only the exac
sum needed, 1t is evident that tho cap
tain general concluded that the .Ameri
can was a fool, and charged up 500
900 to the Spanish Government ant
put $S4 900 in his pocket. This throw
strong light on Spanish financial
honor
