| How Cervcrn Looked When He Arrived
| at Portsmouth.

OF all the prisoners, writes coTespon-
dent in detailing the events at Ports
mouth, N. H., Sunday, when the Span
ish prisoners arrived there on board tho
St Louis, chief interest centered in Adj
miral Cervera. He is not Spanish in
type being short and thick and wearing
full gray beard. He was the picture Of
n brave, resolute man enduring a misery
that is unbearablc. He spoke slowly, and
in referring to the events at Santiago gave
the impression that he would have wish
cd to be with the gallant but dead Villa
mil. He speaks English to some extent
Admiral Cervera was dressed in a blue
serge undress uniform, the coat Of which
was much too long for him. 1t was loan
ed by Lieut.. Commander Wainwright of
tho Gloucester. who found him swimming
in his undershirt and took him into q boat
He appeared to feel his humiliation terri
bly,. During the trip north he was ac-
customcd to stand for hours leaning
against the rail and gazing very far sea-
ward-beyond the vanishing point, as it
appeared. Every officer and man on the
ship lost no opportunity to show their
kindly feelings. From the youngest sail
or to Capt. Goodrich, every American, by
look, act or word, did what lay in his
power to Tighten the sorrows of this old
mans heart

They Presented u Pitiablc Spectacle
OH Landing ut Portsmouth
The Spanish prisoners captured by the
American navy at Santiago rarivcd at
Portsmouth. n. H., Sunday and the fol-
lowing day were taken ashore. where they
are confined in huge barracks on Seavcy' s
Island. A correspondent gives this de-
scription of the landing from the st.
Louis:
The first prisoner to land was slender
and about medium height, with n black
beard. He wore two articles of clothing,
soilcd canvas jumper and Il pair of dirty
canvas trousers. He was without hat or
shoes, and looked with curious. shifty
glance at the old farm house and apple
trees which monopolized the land view.
Behind him came the procession OF pris-
oncrs. They were nearly all dressed in
duck trousers and jumpers, although some
had duck caps and few blue shirts or
ragged flannel coats. Nearly all wcr''
barefoot. AS they forrlcd in irregular
groups on the side Of the steep incline
thin. hungry looking lot, without bag
gage and generally with dark, unkempt
boards. They did not seem dissatisfied
with their lot. The spectacle which the
captured Spaniards presented when they
came ashore was SO pitiful on the whole,
that the Yankee crowd expressed good
will and pity rather than hatred.

Dewey Informs Germans Ihcy MusC
Obey Blockade Regulations.
Dewey is master of Manila harbor, and
has found it necessary to inform the Ger
man admiral, Won Diedrichs, of that fact
on several occasions. Several days ago
the German cruiser Irene, following out
Dedrchs' utter disregard of information
al blockade laws, attempted to sail past
the Americans and refused to answer the
McCul!och's signal to stop. A shell across
the bow of the Irene brought it to stop.
Dewey demanded that Diedrichs observe
the international laws in their strictest IN
depreciation, and took occasion to point
out several Gagrant violations. The Ger
man replied in n most courteous fashion,
and declared that the acts specified by
Dewey were committed without his
knowledge, and were the result OF ignor-
ancc on the part of his men. When the
German learned of the Irene incident,
however, his mild manner disappeared,
and he complained that unnecessary Sc
verify was used in bringing to the cruis-
ers. Admiral Dewey planked down the
law in reply in the firmest and most vigor-
Gus terms, giving the German to under
stand that he fully approved the action or
the McCuloch and would repeat 1t II cir
cumstances demanded it.

be punished. The Government did not
authorize the surrender, bat instructed
Captain General Blanco to leave the in

prescribes Imprisonment for life for any
officer who surrenders the forces of forti-

BATTLE UNDER NEW CONDITIONS
Number Of Men Scared, Not Killed,
Decides the Battle

To be able to return fire and that effectively
is condition most bracing to the morale OF
the troops Vertical fire is always most try
ing, because it cannot be returned and little
shelter can be gotten from it. Hence fire at
long range from an unseen foe will certainly
try the courage of the best of troops. 1t
must not be allowed to continue, the enemy
must be discovered and driven off or the field
must be so occupied that no such position
can be taken up by the enemy. Skill, then,
must here protect morale or troops will
falter.
Morale is fired off with the last cartridge,
now so easily reached, and nothing but relief
from fire or replenishing ammunition will
restore it. Skill must again come to the rescue
and so control fre that ammunition and
necessity for using it will pass at the same
time. Failing this, skill must devise some
method of replenishing the supply. In both
these cases skill on the battlefield is referred
to.
70 counterbalance the moral effect of the
other conditions skill must be used before
hand in installing into the troops the idea
that they have equal, if not better, chances
of success than their opponents. Troops
must be taught to believe that they can and
are doing at least the same execution as they
see produced on themselves.
1t is not "the number of men killed" that
determines the combat, but the 'number
scared d''-the number who believe themselves
whipped or forced to retire. Otherwise a
line could never be driven back by fire
alone, for, so long as single man remained
unhit, the line, thin one it is true, would
remain.
But man is gregarious ANIMAL morally
as well as socially. He needs some thing to
support his courage; ''the touch of elbow"
even though metaphorically true, only gives
the external support needed, while conf
dence in his own ability and that of his com.
