SPANS PRISONERS
Som ching Will Be Done
About Their Release.
r1iniSter SfoTer Will Insist on COM
pIia nee with That Part of the
Treaty. Relating 10 The Cuban
and Filipino Prisoners of War.

Washington, July 22.-Though seven
months have passed since the sigma
ture of the treaty of peace between the
United States and Spain con-lining
this provision, Spain has taken 10
action. 50 far as the authorities have
bsen advised, looking to 'hs release of
4lge Cubans and Filininos imprisoned
at Fernando Po ard at other Spanish
penal prisons. Minister Storer, at
Madrid. has been instructed by Sec
re airy Hay. at the instance of Senior
Quesads, the representative of Cuba
in Washington. to call the att ntion Of
the Spanish government to the follow
ing provision of that treaty:
Spain will upon the signature of
the present treaty, release all prisoners
of war and all persons detained Or
imprisoned for political off-nses in
Cuba and the Philippines ard the var
with the United States
He is instructed to at once request
that the CUbans and Filipinos still in
confinement be grained their liberty
without further delay Senior Quesada
told me yesterday that he thinks there
are about twenty Cubans in Spanish
prisons.
The number of FiIipinos held by
Spain is not known. In some circles
here there is a disposition TO believe
that Spain-s delay IN liberating The
prisoners she holds is due to the &c
lay of the United States to secure the
release of Spaniards held by the
Filipinos. Immediately upon rhe
signature of the treaty Of peace the
spies held by this government We're
released, and since. in accordance with
the terms of the treaty. this govern
ment has undertaken to Secure he
rele2se of all Spanish prisoners in the
hands of the insurgents in Cuba and
the Philippines" Under Instructions
which, at the request of the Due
d ARGOS. We're recently repeated, Gen
eral Otis has been cooperating with
the Spanish commission rs at Manila
to secure The release of the Spanish
subjects and soldiers in the posses
sion of the F'ilipinos. and the fact that
he has made no report as 80 the pro
gress of the negotiations leads the au-
thorities to believe that success has
not yet crowned them.

TO SHOW AMERICAS SYMPATHY
An Atlanta Woman Suggests a SWORD
for Dreyfus.

Mrs. Joseph T. EichberE, we'll known
in the philanthropic circles of Atlanta,
has come to the. front with a new idea
which will be a fitting compliment %
pay man whom all Americans are in
terested in, and with whom the civil
lied world sympathizes. Mrs. Edch-
berg proposes to crystalize this inter
est and sympathy into the gift of q
handsome sword for that unfortunate
French officer, Captain Dreyfus. When
Captain Dreyfus was reduced from Of
flee his sword was broken. this being
part of the ceremony. Mrs. Eich
berg suggests that it would be a fitting
tribute from Americans to present him
with a magnificent jsweled t'ade a. the
close of his second trial. With this
end in view she is undertaking a sub
scription list to raise the necessary
amount to purchase a handsome
sword
One thousand eight hundred dollars
will be the amount necessary to pur-
chase the kind of sword Mrs Eichberg
wishes to present to the unfortunate
officer. and the order Will be placed
with Tiffany in New York. Mrs Eich
berg's suggestion has been hailed with
enthusiasm, not only among the Amer
lean Jews, but every one.-Atlanta
