THE Paris, No., appeal editorially
says: The rank and file of the Re-
publican party is made up of as good
people as any other, but their party
will have great deal to answer for
over the way they have treated the
soldiers who volunteered their serv-
ices to defend the country. The Re-
publican party alone is responsible for
the awful condition of the soldiers as
they have full control of the govern
ment, the army and navy. They had
unlimited supply of money and pro-
visions, and but for their incompe-
tency all would have turned out well.
As it is, the country is disgraced and
our soldiers are suffering for the bare
necessity of life.

SPAIN WILL PAY THEIR FARE.
Such is the Condition Upon Which the
Prisoners Will Be Released.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 1.--Ad-
miraI Cervera and the other Spanish
naval officers at Annapolis and the
Spanish sailors at Portsmouth, N.
H., are to be returned to Spain at the
expense of the Spanish government.
That was the condition of their release
by this government without parole or
other restrictions. Admiral Cervera
is charged with the arrangements for
transportation of the prisoners. 1t is
probable he will visit this city before
his departure to thank the authorities
for the courtesies extended him and
his countrymen during their enforced
sojourn in this country.
They will all 60 home together and
it is understood that Capt. Eulate, OF
the Inflated vizcaya, has gone to New
York to charter the two Spanish
steamships now there for their trans
portation.
All the prisoners are reported to be
in good physical condition, thanks
to the excellent care taken Of
them by this government. On the
arrival of the party at southampton
they win be met by the Spanish flying
squadron and escorted to Cadiz. The
squadron liz all that remains of the
Spanish navy.
The Napoleonic campaign lasted
sixteen years; the war of 1912 more
than three years; the war Of Greek
