was short of money.

spoke earnestly OF his sollcitude for the
safety of his men on shore, He informed
Captain Wainwright that Cuban soldiers
were on the hill preparing to attack MS

he was willing to surrender his entire

Wainwright had similar reports regarding

WHAT TO DO WITH cERvERAG
IAssoelated Press pIspateh.l

Washington, July 5-rhe question OF
what disposition to make of the Spanish
prisoners taken by the United States
forces is causing the war department
some perplexity and the matter was under
discussion today, but Secretary Alger said
no conclusion had been reached as to the
steps to be taken,
1t is realized that the naval prisoners
cannot be kept long aboard ship. They
must be gotten off before actual opera
tions are taken by SIMPSONS fleet against
the shore batteries.
1t has been suggested that the prisoners
be loaded on the transports and the YES
sells be anchored well out in the water
pending their final disposition. AS was the
practice during the late war, naval pris-
oners in all probability will be turned
over to the care of the army.
The suggestion that it might be in good
taste to bring Admiral Cervera and his
stan to washington where they could be
placed on parole meets with some favor
in army circles though 1t is very ques-
tionable whether such action will be
taken.
