SPANISH OFFICERS REFUSE IT.
They Resort TO the Practices Of the
Middle Ages-Half-M Ma sted Flag ON
Moro Not Thought to BetOken
Harm to the PrisOners-Sagasta
ed-EnRlish Consul says Ransom.

WASHINGTON, June a.-The following
was received today from Commodore Wat
son:
The captain genera. states that the
Spanish government refuses to exchange
Hobson and his men"
The dispatch created some Indignation,
which was modified later by Madrid ad-
vices quoting Sagasta as saying that a
decision had not been reached. Should
Spain adopt the cruel and unusual course
of refusing an exchange. the regulations
of the war department are sufficient to
meet the case. The following principle is
laid down in its regulations:
Retaliation will never be resorted to as
a measure of mere revenge but only as a
measure OF protective retribution. and
moreover. cautiously and unavoidab-y:
that Is to say, retaliation shall only be re-
sorted to after careful inquiry into the real
occurrence and the character OF the deeds
that may demand retTibution. Unjust or
inconsiderate retaliation removes the bel
l.gerents further and further from the
mitigating rules Of regular war and by
rapid strides leads them to the internecine
wars of savages."
1t was pointed out today by leading
officer Of the army that the Spanish had
most to lose by course OF cruelty which
would call for retaliation, as the number
Of Spanish prisoners is far greater than
the number Of American prisoners.
In the case Of Hobson, his rank as as
sistant naval constructor. which Ia equiva-
lent to that Of lieutenant. junior grade.
should be the sole basis for his exchange.
yet it is obvious to the authorities here
that the Spanlards hold him not as lieu-
tenant. but as popular idol in the United
States. In this respect his detention ceases
to be that OF a prisoner Of war and be-
comes one of a hostage.
The holding OF hostages. usually for ram
some or other benefit. is medieval Gus
tom. But even as a hostage Hobson would
be entitled to an exchange for prisoners Of
greater rank or greater number. !. has

Murat's lime tree on the battlefield CT
Leipzig has fallen avictim to a violent
storm. The tree which Witnessed sucn
terrible carnage was already, according
to a popular belief. 200 years old and more
when the three days battle was fought.
Perhaps it drew new strength from O
soil enriched by the countless dead; per-
haps, like proud B~olingbroke, blood
watered it to max it grow in any case
it has survived for more than four score
years the great evento of its history, and
now lies PROSTATE o the battlefield-the
last fallen in the battle of giants. The
tree has sometimes been called N~apoleon's
lime, and the legend has been told that
the leader in the battle of nations used
it as a watch tower at a critical period
of the fight. But, according to authentic
evidence, it was not Napoleon. but Murat.
who made it famous. The great captain
OF squadrons, who headed the veterans
Of. Spain. seems to have climbed into its
branches and established his observatory
there on the morning of October 16. 1913,
and here for some time he remained till
an intrusive canno bali passed through
its branches and drove the bird from the
nest. 1t is a grand old veteran, grand
ven in death. Its trunk is twenty metres
ameter: 1t has several times been struck
by lightning. and is at last overthrown by
tempest. Near it Is the Uncovered mon
ument to the French who fell. whose emf
taph it may justly share. LET none dis

The suit of Contractor Patrick Ryan
against the Mayor and Aldermen of Jer-
sey City, which was tried in the Supreme
Court yesterday, resulted in a verdict for
the defendant. Ryan claimed 500 for re-
paving certain streets and the city refused
payment because he charged for repaving
eighteen inches on either side of car
tracks in the street which had been re-
paved by the company a few months
previously.
Corporation Counsel McDermott agreed
on behalf of the city, to allow the plaintiff
$13l for the work he had don't in tearing
up and relaying the blocks which had
been laid by the railroad company. That
work was necessary in order to make an
even pavement.
