SPANISH PRISONERS MUTINY,
It Requires a Volley From the Marines
to Bring Them to Thelr Senses
Four hundred Spanish prisoners confined |
at Port Antonia on the Harvard mutinied,
When the outbreak occurred the marines
wera at once crdered to quel if,
and, all other means falling, the order to
fire was given,
The result was deadly, six of the mutincers
being killed and twelve more wounded
What eaused the mutiny is unknown, but
it is suspected that in some way the sews
of the battle outside Santiago harbor and
the capture of Admiral Cervera stirred the
men to such a pitch of excitement that they
could not restrain themselves,
The prompt action taken to suppress the
disorder quickly restored quiet, and there
are no signs of further trouble. Ths wound
ed are reported doing well,
