Tuesday the convicts were served with
new potatoes and new peas for dinner.
The peas were raised on the state farm
and this is the first meal they have
been served. After the peas had been
shelled it required eleven bushels to 60
around among the inmates. Next
week new string beans will be ripe.
Arm chair critics who think the
Spanish got too easy terms at Santiago
should consider that bombardment
and assault of the city would have
caused considerable loss of life on both
sides, and after we had captured the
city it would have been heap of ruins
and ashes, whereas now we captured
it intact and without the additional
loss of single life. The sending of
the Spanish prisoners home in Ameri-
can ships is novel feature in warfare,
but it is good policy and is likely to
excite the admiration of other govern
ments.
"Classing McCoy's victory over Rub
lin with that of Sharkey," says a sport
ing man, "gives the sailor a decided
advantage. and the chances are that
Mccoy will take none of the sailors
game. At the same time Mccoy is be-
lieved to be far above Sharkey in every
thing but strength, and therein lies
Shsrkey's best hold on championship
honors. Sharkey is dangerous man
for any one to fool with, particularly as
he appears to have improved consid-
erably in cleverness, and is able to keep
his head in moments when victory is
almost certain. The challenge of
Sharkey, after his quick victory over
Rubin, to any man in the world, is
likely to hasten the meeting between
Mccoy and Corbett, for both of these
worthless are ready to seek for trouble
with Sharkey."

The agreement by the United States
to send the Santiago prisoners back to
Spain is an event full of interest in
itself and entirely without precedent
in history. From one point of view it
marks the highest advance of civilIZa-
ton and humanity in the conduct of
war. Prisoners of war have been sub
Jected TO various kinds of treatment at
different periods and stages Of civ
lliZatiOn. They have been slain by
their captors, they have been tor
tured and imprisoned, they have been
enslaved for life, held as permanent
hostages, held for ransom, and, il
modern times, exchanged or paroled
The original and savage theory of war
was that prisoners became the property
OF their captOrs, to be treated as the
latter saw fit. They were regarded
and treated as still enemies. The mod
ern theory is that the moment an
enemy becomes prisoner he ceases TO
be an enemy and is entitled to protec-
ton and the utmost degree of humane
treatment consistent with his detention
as prisoner and his strict subsection
to military law. Generally they are
sent to the captor's country or removed
to points at distance from the actual
theater of war, where they can be
securely held. In the present case, for
the first time in the history of the
world, great nation proposes in the
very hour of victory to send across the
ocean to their own country not less
than $1,000 prisoners of war recently
captured with arms in their hands, and
to do this at its own expense, furnish
ing transportation and food for the
prisoners on the way, and landing them
on their own shores. Nothing like this
has ever occurred before.

Troops VIII Leave Tampa.

Tampa, Fla, July 1.-THE military
situation here assumed renewed activ-
ity today over the receipt of orders
which indicate an early movement of
large number of troops to the front.
A number of regiments which have be-
come weary of their long detention
here are jubilant over what now ap-
pears to be genuine move Early
this morning the First Brigade of the
Second Division, Army Corps COM

dered to hold itself in readiness to i'm
mediately move aboard transports.
This afternoon these orders were coun-
termanded, and later came instructions
for the entire Second Division, COM
manded by. General Snyder, to be pre-
pared to move at any moment. This
division is composed of three brigades,
comprising three regiments each as fol-
lows: Fifth, Eleventh and Nineteenth
regulars; second New York, Fifth
Maryland and First District of Colum-
bia volunteers; One-hundred- d-fifty-
seventh Indiana, First Ohio and Third
Pennsylvania volunteers. a detach-
ment of the Signal Corps is also on the
list of those who are to sail at an early
date, but their destination has not been
announced. The District of Columbia
regiment will probably not rejoin its
brigade, as it has already gone to Cuba.

If not, why not?
Would you like to own the best and

If the price was very low and the
piano guaranteed, by piano manu-

to be as good or better than the best
ever made, would that be satisfactory?
Would you like to buy at your own
price and on your own time without
giving note; we considering the in
strument itself as security until paid
for, but delivering it to you at once?
If so, and you own or rent a farm or
are earning IS week, there is no rea-
son on earth why you may not own the
sweetest toned piano ever made, at a
small price, and pay for it so gradually
that you will never miss the money.

can pay good price for it and work it
off on our cheap, southern, wholesale

There is a belief in high admiDistra-

tic question IL now TO be solved in the
matter of the prisoners. Some officials
believe that Spain will not want the
prisoners sent to her shores, and will
make no arrangement whereby Amer
lean vessels can take them across the
sea. If she does this, ships of some
other country will have to to be en-
gagged to take the prisoners away.

Enforce All Laws Without Specifying
Prohibition in Particular.

w. c. Edwards, who is a candidate for
governor on the Republican state tick
ct, says, with reference to a platform
for the coming campaign: My plat
form is, right or wrong, enforce all
laws equally and impartially. 1 do not
think that prohibition should go into
the platform this year. It is a law now
and that ought to be sufficient. If
were making the platform would put
into it straight Republican principles
like those enunciated in our last ma
tional platform. I would assert that
they were right, everlastingly right, and
had been proven to be right. OF course
the platform is what the convention
sees fit to make it, and 1 would be will
ing to stand on any platform the Re
publicans of Kansas make. Whether
the party will see fit to place a prohibit
ton plank in the platform or not is
more than 1 can tell, but it is my opin-
ion it would be better not to do So"
