OUR SPANISH PRISONERS
They Presented a Pitiable Spectacle
on Landing at Portsmonth
The Spanish prisoners captured by the
American navy at Santiago rarived at
rortsmouth N II Sunday and the fol
lowing day were taken ashore where they
are confined in huge barracks on Searcys
Island A correspondent gives this de
scription of the landing from the St
Louis
The first prisoner to land was slender
and about medium height with a black
beard lie wore two articles of clothing
a soiled canvas jumper and a pair of dirty
canvas trousers He was without hat or
shoes and looked with a curious shifty
glance at the old farm house and apple
trees which monopolized the land view
Behind him came the procession of pris
oners They were nearly all dressed in
duck trousers and jumpers although some
had duck caps and a few blue shirts or
ragged flannel coats Nearly all were
barefoot As they formed in irregular
groups on the side of the steep incline
they looked like castaways They were
a thin hungry looking lot without bag
gage and generally with dark unkempt
beards They did not seem dissatisfied
with their lot The spectacle which the
captured Spaniards presented when they
came ashore was so pitiful on the whole
that the Yankee crowd expressed good
will and pity rather than hatred
