Cooper. superintendent Of the naval acad-
envy, has completed his preparations for
the care of 50 Spanish officers, including

of the authorities is TO treat them with
all possible leniency and TO make their
enforced stay in Annapolis as pleasant as
possible under the circumstances. II Is

miral Cervera and other prisoners at

Of the officers stated several days
ago that the request for a termination
of hostilities, in his opinion, was only
question Of time. The same officer
deplored the war with America. He
said that this country had been
grossly misrepresented.
The first social recognition since
their arrival at the naval academy

Wednesday night by Admiral and
Mrs. McNair, at their residence, in

twelve, including Admiral Cervera.

ONCE A SPANISH DOMAIN
But now One of the Leaders of the

Waterworks, but the Prevalence
of Typhoid Nevertheless Due to
Bad Water.

Camp Cuba Libre, Jacksonville,
Fla, Aug. 2.-It was on the birth
day Of the father Of his country -
1919, that Spain ceded Florida to the
United States, and three years later
the natural entrepot and metropolis of
the state was laid out and named in
honor of Gen. Andrew Jackson, the
first territorial governor, although
the city was not incorporated until
1888. At the close of the war in
1865 the population Of Jacksonville
was not more than 5000, business
was at a standstill, the handsomest
buildings, including the courthouse,
churches, schools and finest resi-
dences had been destroyed by fire,
and the people were greatly demon
allied. At that time there was but
one railroad by which communication
was reached with the outside world,
and that was only two streaks of
rust" running through the woods
from Jacksonville to Quincy. But.
like many southern towns, Jackson
vile sool recovered herself. and to
day she is acknowledged to be one
Of the finest cities in the south. This
metropolis of Florida has now
population of nearly 10000, is sit
uated on the bank Of the beauti-
full st. Johns river, twenty-five miles
from the ocean, and its people are as
thoroughly cosmopolitan as any city
perhaps in the southern states. The
city has twenty miles of streets
paved with vitrifed brick, and many
more paved with shell or otherwise
nacadamized: its owns and operates
a city electric lighting plant; it has
twelve miles Of electric street rail
roads, a complete sewerage system
deep artesian we'll water, and seven
lines of railway. and several ocean
and river steamship lines afford it
good transportation facilities to and
from all points. The city has
water frontage Of nine miles on the
st. Johns river, and it occurs to a
visitor that the opportunities for the
extension of wharves, docks. lum-
Der yards and other commercial and
manufacturing facilities are great.
The school, church and social advan-
tages seem to be remarkably good.

EXTRA
SESSION
Washington Post Says
Congress Is to Be
Convened Soon.
Senate Must Ratify the
Treaty of Peace When
Agreed on.
Laws Regarding Army
and Other r1atters to
Be Changed.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The Post
says: The president will call an
extra session Of both houses of con-
gress as soon as Spain accepts the
terms of peace offered by the United
States. 1t has always been under
stood that the senate would be con-
vened as soon as the treaty of peace
was ready for that body. The situ-
alton in this case is such as to make
it necessary for the assemblage OF the
whole congress. The situation can be
explained in a few words. Under the
law which provides for the raising of
the volunteer army, that army gees
out of existence as soon as the war
ceases. When this law was framed
it was not for a moment supposed that
after the war had ended there would
be any necessity Of keeping the army
The developments of the war make it
very evident that instead of sending
the army back to civil life, fully
100 900 men will continue to be need
ed. It is the present intention to dis
tribute them in Cuba, the
Philippines and probably 10000 in
Porto Rico. Under the law, as soOr
as hostilities cease, the volunteel
army Is to be disbanded and tn,
regular army goes back to it's peace
footing, thus leaving only $4,000 mel
in the service. This total is far too
small for the work that has to b.
done. Congress will be needed t.
frame new laws, Which Will be needet
to increase and educate the army
In addition to this laws must b.
changed to meet the new require
ments Of government in the Philip
pines and Porto Rico. The presiden
is naturally averse to calling con
gress together during the no
weather, and it may be decided tina
the war is not ended until the senat
has ratified the treaty. In this cas-
congress will not meet until Septem
Der, as it will take at least montl
or six weeks for the full details 0
the treaty to be discussed anC
framed. The present outlook is
however, for an extra session at
much earlier period in the hope tina
the work can be concluded before tn
fall campaign"
