ALGER TELLS A WAR STORY.
Originated tho Plan of Sending the
spanish Soldier, Home

Originated the Plan Of Sending the
spanish Soldier, Home
WAsnisGToy. July 25.-Secretary
Alger has always fe.t u pardonablc
pride in the success with which tho
war dep lrtmcnt met the tremendous
problem thrust upon 1t by the neces-
sity with which IL was suddenly con-
frontcd during the war with Spain of
suddenly disposing of the thousands
of Spanish prisoners captured in San
tiago province. The history Of that
time has not been fully told, and it
remained for Secretary Alger to sup
ply the need by the following bit Of
"Reminiscences:
On the night OF July 0, 1898. the
President asked me what, In my judg-
mcnt, we should do with the Spanish
prisoners OF Santiago after their cap
ture. The matter had received very
much thought from the President and
myself, but no definite conclusion had
been reached. / then suggested that
Galveston. Texas, would be the best
place In the United States, in my
judgment. where we could send them;
nv was away iToh thc COiSL iluc
travel; a good hai Dor; that there
would be plenty of room for camping
them, and that its climate would be
as nearly similar to that of Santiago
as we could probably select This
seemed TO meet his approval, as it
was only a question of time, OF
course, when their capture would be
ntTnntnH tvnr IN tY D,,a
rs nearly as l can remember, about
. o'clock in the morning and, being
too tired TO sleep, 1 lay awake for
q while, but finally dozed of. l
awoke at daybreak and my first
thought was concerning the Spanish
prisoners, and the new idea came in
to my head, why not send them back
to Spain?' This thought SO deeply
impressed me that l formulated my
plan, and, on the morning of July 10,
instead of going to the department di-
rect, l went to tho White house and
laid the new plan before the Presi-
dent, saying that 1t would DO an un-
precedented procedure and a most
gracious act; that to transport the
prisoners to Galveston would be half
the distance; that we should have to
cIothe, shelter, guard and feed them
there, and no doubt have to ship them
back TO Spain in the end. l also
stated that l believed that it would
be u great inducement to the Span
iards to surrender, which General
Shafter afterward assured me was the
effect. The President readily ap-
proved the plan and on the same day
l cabled General Shafter rs follows:
Should the %Spaniards surrended
Internationally, and wish to return
to Spain, they will be sent back at the
expense of the United States govern
ment.'
''Some days after this contract was
awarded, the president said to me, as
l entered the cabinet room:
"'Mr Secretary, would you like to
hear something favorable to you
printed in the New York TimesY and
went On to read the editorial comment
complimentary to the man who origin
ated the plan Of transporting tho
S~paniards back TO Spain"
