NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
A DELAYED TRIBUTE.
Observation-Disclosures

After more than a century of effort
on the part of individuals and organi
cations, the bones representing lo,OOO
victims of the Revolution have at last
been marked by fitting memorial. A
few weeks ago the tomb in Fort Greene
Park, Brooklyn, New York, containing
the remains of the American captives
who died on the British prison ships
in Wallabout Bay, was the scene Of i'm
posing ceremonies. A monument was
unveiled, and the efforts of the pat
riotic of many years were accom-
plished. The story Of the prison ships
| forms one of the most melancholy
chapters of American history.
During the year 1776 the Battle Of
Brooklyn and the capture Of Fort
Washington placed nearly 5000 pris-
oners in the hands of the British. Most
of these captives were confined in a
few cattle and supply transports which
lay in WallabOut Bay. The treatment
Of the captives was of the brutal sort
accorded to prisoners of war in those
times. One thousand soldiers and sail
ors at a time were packed into a sin
gle vessel. The port holes were closed,
four small openings made in the side
Of the vessel, and in this pen the suffo-
eating and starving men existed until
death relieved their sufferings. New
prisoners were constantly arriving.
Often the prisoners would go for two
or three days without food, and their
rations, when they were dealt out
were of the most meager and repulsive
nature. Moldy and worm-eaten bread
rancid pork, and beans so hard thai
they had to be beaten with a stone be
fore they could be boiled, were the del
icacies fed to these prisoners. There
was nothing but the hard floor to liz
upon, and one poor wretch writes O.
the skin being worn completely off hi
arms, back and hips, and off hi
frozen feet.
In the natural order of things cpl
denies broke out, and smallpox ant
yellow fever added their horrors to tn
tragedy. The mortality was frightful
1t Is calculated that thousands o
deaths occurred on the Jersey alone
The prisoners of one transport set fir
to the vessel, preferring to be burne
rather than to endure the tortures the
we're undergoing.
When the war was over and tn
transports were no longer needed 70
; prisons. no one would 90 near the ii
fected vessels; they lay rotting in tn
bay until the worms ate their plank'
the sea rushed In, and they sank.
For a long time the bones Of tn
victims lay, scarcely covered, on tn
sandy shore. In 1903 there was
movement to give them a proper res
: ing place A lot was purchased an
