authorities would gladly have informa-
tion."
As TO Hobson, the authorities here are
convinced that the Spanish officials are
taking advantage of the distinction ac-
corded TO him in the United States. I'm
der the rules of war, prisoner Is valued
solely by bis rank, and it is considered
dishonorable either 70 underestimate
prisoners rank in order to cause a
more advantageous exchange, or to take
higher rank for the purpose of obtain
ing better treatment. In the case OF
Hobson, his rank Of assistant construct
or, which Is equivalent to lieutenant,
junior grade, should be the sole basis
for his exchange, yet ii Is obvious to
the authorities here that the Spanards
hold him not as a lieutenant, but as a
popular idol Of the United States.

Washington, June 2f.-During the
day dispatches announcing that Capt.
Gen. Blanco had refused 10 exchange
Hobson and his fellow prisoners created
some indignation which was modified
later by Madrid advices quoting Sagasta
as saying no decision had been reached.
Should Spain adopt the cruel and un-
usual course of refusing an exchange
the regulations of the war department
are sufficient TO meet the case. The
following was received Monday from
Commodore Watson:
Captain general states Spanish govern

A Madrid dispatch says:
Premier Ssgasta. when questioned on
the subject Monday. said nothing had been
decided. in spite OF tho American reports.

Masso, are also cut off from Gen. Toral,
and are badly pinched for food They
wildly appealed for provisions and re-

got was that both were impossible.
Gen. Masso said his men were even then
at half rations, and that the supply was
only sufficient to last during the pres

Gen. Garcia and his personal staff
were picked up at Gen. Rabi's camp, IS
miles west Of Santiago, and brought to
the flagship Monday afternoon by the
gunboat Vixen. There the grizzled and
wounded patriot had a long consulta-

American and Cuban troops. Gen.
Garcia is very enthusiastic. lie says

hold out long, and that the war in the
island will end in a few months.
