Not NIL of the prisoners can pass the
time as they please within the inclos-
ure. Woe to tho vanquished! They
must work. Fifty Of them, divided In.
to sullen squads of ten, each squad
guarded by two vigilant priyates with
loaded rifles, are policing the village.
With .pales md shovels they are gath
ering UP Gs;e decnying refuse that the
livid land crabs have proved unequal
to, raking and scraping the foul nc
cumulatIon Of years of Cuban neglect
into loathsome heaps, presently to be
burned, with n stencil indescribable
and nbOminable.
The Cubans, when requested to per-
form some light and agreeable task
for the accommodation or assistance
of their American saviors, often re-
spond with more or less hauteur that
they are not servants, pOrters or hos
pitnl attendants, as the case may be,
but fighters. 1t Is generally admitted
by our men that the Spaniards are
hghters-in their poor, weak wny-so
that 1t Is quite likely that they object
to becoming scavengers, Spanish pride
being no less than Cuban pride. This
may account for the gloom.
However, the work is n necessity,
and IL the Spanish prisoners were not
available 1t is certain that the Cuban
Fighter" could not be induced to I'M
dertake 1.-THE would sooner have yell
low fever-so that the task would
devolve upon Private Thomas Ameri-
canus. Moreover, 1t IL more disagree
able than arduous, and though 1t may
hurt Castilian pride little 1t raises
no blIsters.
Then there Is the nll-compensatinS
ratlon-the full ration as issued to the
American soldier-corned beef, bacon,
hard tack, sugar and coffee to re-
pletion or to something very near 1t.
Small wonder that the half-starved
wretches declined to be exchanged.
The presence of the Spanish In this
particular situation is evidently
source of high qualification to the In
surgent soldiery, though 1t Is evident
that they do not approve of the con-
sideration with which the prisoners
are treated. They are not allowed by
the guards to approach the inclosure
or to annoy the former oppressors In
any way that can be prevented. but
they make the most of their privilege
of gazing from afar. 1t is n huge joke
for these black men.
Back of the Enclosure and halfway

of DIR. Lesser, who pOurs carbolized
balm and sterilized oil Into their hurts
with an unsparing hand. 1t is touch
ing to witness the expression of sur
prise and gratitude on their wasted
and pain-drawn faces when they real
lie for the first time that they are not
going to be slaughtered, but cared for
with skill and kindness. On the whole
they are more cheerful in the block
house than in the inclosure below
which is to say they are occasionally
cheerful.

A correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord, writing from Siboney before the
capture of Santiago, gives the follow
Ing description of the Spanish prison
ers:
There are $50 Mt least of the late
defenders of Santiago huddled up
within n four-strand barb-wire inclOs-
ure n few hundred yards from the hos
pital, and the number Is increasing
hourly. They are beginning to come In

means to them safety and three meals
day, whereas within the city or in
its defensive trenches they might get
one meal and they might not, while II
bans await them cheerfully anxious to
carve them into little pieces.
They are little men and 1.-THE for the
most part, these Spanish prisoners,
with closely cropped hair and skins
varying from n light olive tint to Jet
black, for there are many negroes
among them. Their hats are of coarse
straw ornamented by dingy cock
ade of red and yellow, and their uni
form consists of n blue and white
striped blouse and trousers of light
cotton material. Many of them are
without shoes. and their uniforms are
generally ragged and dirty.
A company of the Thirty-third Mich
igan Is keeping watch and ward over
them, but their task seems to be an
easy one. and the sentries yawn drow-
silly rs they pace to and fro. There
may be some in the lounging, hopeless
looking crowd who would like to make
bold dash for liberty, but 1t is
doubtful IL there are.
They seem to regard the sta1wart
proportions of the Michigan men with
simple wonder. ut Is no marvel that
you succeed" they tell them; "you are
SO big" So, too, they compare the
American horses with the little fox
terriers their own cavalry bestride,
and again they find justification for
their position.
Generally the prisoners seem con-
tent to lie basking in the sun, though
that Is hardly n matter of choice, for
there Is no shade in their 100 feet
squire OF space for them to lie In.
Some of them are stretched out on
their backs, their hats tilted over their
eyes, sleeping so soundly that the long
bodied. agile ants, scurryinc, and dodg-
ing about over their faces, hardly
make the muscles twitch.
One or two groups have packs of
cards-quaint, gayly painted paste
boards of unacceptable suits, with
full length figures in baggy breeches
and flowing gowns for the pictures"
They play for coffee beans, and some

but there are apparently no funny
situations in the game and no eXulta-

KIPP TAKEN ILL ON STAND.
Trial Postponed Until Monday Afternoon
on That Account.


On the opening of court this morn
ing the counsel for the defense re-
quested and was granted postpone
ment until 2 p. m. Monday of the
Osbar-Kipp arson trial, on the ground
that Kipp was unable to proceed with
his testimony because of illness, there
also being a suspicion that he was
mentally deranged. In the meantime
it was stated to the court that Kipp
would be given the proper medical
aid. and if on examination it was
found that his mental arrangement
was permanent, an inquisition would
be asked for and motion entered for
his discharge. Kipp made damaging
admission during the cross-examina-
ton of States Attorney Searle yester-
day afternoon. to the effect that he
and William Alday had the
day preceding the fire removed
a partition in the house Git was
taken out, the prosecution claims, in
order that the blaze might have Il
sufficient draft. At this juncture the
court admitted the confession of Kipp,
barred out of the states evidence,
not as original proof, but as impeach-
ing the witnesses testimony. This
proved turn in affairs which did
not alleviate the shock which kipp's
admission caused in the camp of the
defense. kipp, after a consultation
of the attorneys for the defense, was
taken from the stand, and excused
for the afternoon. County Attorney
Julius fischer and Police Capt. Con-
nelly, of Davenport, and Officer Nos
tic Starofsky, of Moline, were then
put on the stand, each testifying that
William Alday's reputation was bad.
