The Spanish Newspaper, III Pyogyeso,

on the manner in which Spaniards are be.

greSO says;
'Iu mentioning the other day the arrest
in Taeloban of our compatriot, Senior
Araujo. we spoke of the precarious po-
sition occupied by the Spanish, in Leyte as
in Samar and, in fact, in all the provinces
of the Archipelago. They ate now the OBJ
jects of every suspicion on the part Of the
Americans whenever it happens that, by
reason Of honorable conduct on long res
idence in locality, they have gained the
regard OF the Filipinos, and, though pre-
serving perfect neutrality and showing
even exaggerated respect, II it is desired.
to the American authorities. they preserve
friendly relations with chiefs of detach-
ments. In one way and another the
Spanish, IN the provinces, is the anvil on

the deceptions of one aud the disasters Of

Misfortune has marked as victims Of
this tense situation our compatriots, most
Of whom are attached to this country
through long service and tremendous con
tests, which have rarely been sustained
without honor, and with the greatest pride
we declare that even in such uulucky cir
cunstances, in such insufferable atmOs-
phere as has been breathed for some years
in the Philippines, the conduct Of the sub
dued Spaniards in general has always been
correct aud honorable.
Nevertheless, this honorable conduct,
this sacrifice of memories and interests, has
in certain localities availed nothing In
Samar and Leyte, for trivial reasons, often
grouudless and at other times of no con-
sequence, the conquered Spanish have been
imprisoned and have suffered the disgrace
ful lot that while Foreigners of other ma

remained in prison day after day without
charges being preferred or investigation be-

This is insuiferable and intolerable
The most extreme military rigors cannot
justify this crusade, as unjust as dishonor-
able; as much for those VINO pursue it as for

SOMETHING COMING
Ir Immediate Reforms DO Not Take
Place at the JaiI-Warden Harris
Not Responsible-A Fair Man.

J EdifOr SuRdaY Globe
We are informed through the daily papers
that The Warden Of the District of Columbia
tuberculosis (jail) plant has had his salary
increased to s.. 900 per anuum. He IS very,
very poorly paid Il matters not from what
point of view you look at il. Having spent
thirty days under his guardianship, am
fully qualified to pass judgment in reference
to compensation for what is required Of
him
In the FIRST place, if the rules and regula.
tions that are carried out in that barbarous
building are Of his individual get up,
money is poor equivalent for the service
he has rendered to the powers that be and
approve them. That those rules, etc, we're
known TO the powers was made plain to
me, before my entry. was told at the
court by officials in these words; My
God. man. you don't know what you'll have
to go through; you can't stand it." This is
proof of knowledge Of conditions at that
time as they existed.
In the next place. if the said rules and
regulations were in force previous to his
appointment, and it has been beyond his
power to moderate OF change them that he
has been forced to execute them to the let
ter to retain his position needing it for the
support of family, this measly compeu-
satiou is not a drop in the bucket
For the last six months have been try
ing to effect an improvement; as far as I
know at present it has been fruitless In
the interest Of respectable men, who may
possibly be sent there, it seems necessary
for me to publish in your paper what I
have kept out of priut" so far, and am yet
willing to do so. but my patience is sorely
tried being able 70 prove this uuwritteu,
and feeling sure it will be recognized as
sufficient cause for action, / take this
method of warning certain parties to get
move on them.
My Impression al the present time is that
Warden Harris is not accountable for the
conditions existing in the "tuberculorium
is powerless in reference to making excep-
tions in worthy cases witnesses, etc..
From the little I saw of hmm / judged him
to be a man who would, if he could. treat
men as he found them what confirms that
view is this. every Official of tue District Of
Columbia knows Of these conditions they
have been repeatedly made and commented
on by the SUNDAY GLOBE The SUNDAY
GLOBE has met with recognition" in
many instances and recently by the very
highest authority, and yet not one word of
denial has been uttered by any person as
TO the conditions set forth, and it has been
"saddled on the warden" consequently
say now that come what may in the near
future I, individually, will never believe
Warden Harris aud employees to be respon-
sible for the inhumsn, unhealthy, barbarous
conditions existing in that Ftubercu.
lorium, aud the worst is not yet disclosed,
but will be il necessary.

ABOUT SHERLOCK HOLINESS
Swiss Guides Show the Spot Where
He Died.

Swiss guides are gravely pointing out to
British tourists the exact spot at which
Sherlock Holmes met his death. A we'll
known traveller last evening told a repre-
sentative the funny way in which this ira
ditiou began:
1T began shortly after Conan Doyle had
written the story telling Of Holmes death
at the hands of Professor Moriarty / and
friend who had been very interested in
the series of the detective's adventures
we're travelling in Switzerland. We had
been crossing the Brunig Pass from Lucerne
toward Interlaken. and we stopped over
one night in Meiriugeu.
The next day we we're going over III e
Crosse Schiedegg. and what was more
natural than to make a little detour from
the regular path to see the Fails of Reicheu-
BACH where Professor MoriaEty and Sher-
lock Holmes had their fatal encounter,
according to Conan Doyle? We took
guide to show US the place, and we had no
difficulty in imagining the exact spot where
Holmes fell, aud we even picked out the
last piece Of ground on which he stood
Meantime our guide stood by, apparently
stolid and not paying any attention to what
we were saying.
Last September / was again in Switzer-
land and got to Meiringen again. AT the
edge Of the village I saw the customary
army Of guides. and among them the chap
/ had patronized some years before hired
him again and ne pointed out to me the
various places of interest. But you can
imagine my surprise when he suddenly
turned and said: And this sir, is the place
where Monsieur Sherlock Holmes, the great
English detective, was died.
To my astonishment he went over the
whole story, and finally picked out the spot
where my friend and I. in speculation, de-
cided that Holmes and MOriarty had van
ished"
The guides very soon will be relating the
story from the point of view of an eye.wit-

Our local funny paper. the Post. is a

GUS contemporary but has the Post not
made too sweeping a statement Surely it
knows Of the existence in our midst Of a
disease known as mental rabies. This pecu-
liar disease does not depend for its origin
upon the bite of a dog or bird or bedbug
The malady may be brought about by de-

Distressing symptoms accompany the af-
fectiou. The voice becomes loud or soft
and gurgliug. The eyes roll and glare. The
features bear a strained exalted far away
expression. The gait IS rapid, rolling or
pOnderOus.
The strange misfortune designated, leads
obscure persons to imagine themselves
geuiuses aud becomes so acute at times as
to drive the affected person to leave their
family and cut their friends.
