Sinking of the Merrimac.
Desperate Work by Lieutenant Hobson.—With a
Volunteer Crew of Seven Men, Under Cover of
Darkness, Shortly After 3 o'clock on Friday
Morning, He Ran the Big Collier Merrimac Into
the Throat of the Harbor of Santiago de Cuba
Swung Her Broadside Across the Channel, and
Then Exploded and Sank Her—He Succeeded in
His Enterprise Without Support From the Ameri-
can Fleet. /
Lieutenant Richmond P. Hobson, of the
flagship New York, with a volunteer crew
of seven men, under cover of the darkness
after the moon had set, shortly after 3
o'clock Friday morning, ran the big collier
Merrimac into the throat of the harbor of
Santiago de Cuba, swung her broadside
across the channel and then exploded and
sank her. He succeeded in this desperate
enterprise under the fire of the batteries
and forts which guard the entrance, with-
out support from the fleet.
REMAINED PLUCKILY UNTIL DAYLIGHT.
Ensign Powell, also of the New York,
with a steam launch crept up close under the
guns of Morro castle to take off the heroes
of the Merrimac, and remained there
pluckily until daylight discovered his posi-
tion, without seeing a trace of the Merri-
mac’s daring crew. To have remained lon-
ger would have been sheer madness. As it
was he retired under a heavy fire from
Mauser rifles and the heavy guns of the
batteries. .
Lieutenant Hobson and his men are now
Spanish prisoners as a flag of truce an-
nounces, and will be exchanged in due
course of time, but, that their mission was
successful, admits of no doubt. Ensign
Powell distinctly saw the spars of the
wrecked ship in the middle of the channel.
Lieutenant Hobson planted her at the spot
he had selected. Cushing’s memorable
feat in blowing up the Confederate ram
Albemarle is overmatched by Hobson’s act
and Cushing’s men crept up Albemarle
sound at midnight and fell upon an unsus-
pecting foe. Hobson took his ship, over
300 feet long, into the very focus of a dozen
batteries with the enemy at the guns, and
blew her up.
HOBSON CONCEIVED THE UNDERTAKING
HIMSELF.
When Rear Admiral Sampson joined
Commodore Schley on Wednesday, the lat-
ter had already ascertained that it would
be impossible for the fleet to crawl into the
rat hole in which the Spanish fleet had
taken refuge. The mines across the en-
trance and the batteries which commanded
it made the mere contemplation of it an
act of folly.
Commodore Schley was inclined to think
the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius might be
able to countermine, but the ships would
have to go in single file and, if one were
sunk in the channel, the progress of the
others would be blocked. It was then that
Lieutenant Hobson conceived the scheme
of sinking a big collier across the harbor
entrance and asked to be allowed to exe-
cute it himself. It seemed certain death
and almost certain failure, as the odds were
overwhelmingly against reaching the en-
trance before discovery, but Hobson was so
enthusiastic that his confidence was infec-
tious and the admiral finally reluctantly
gave his consent.
Lieutenant Hobson’s chief anxiety was
that in the dark he might miss the narrow
gut and run onto the shoals at the west of
the entrance.
PLAN CONSIDERED BUT ABANDONED.
When the admiral’s consent was obtained
Lieutenant Hobson became impatient of
all delay and that very night, Wednesday,
after the moon went down, he set the time
for the attempt. Volunteers were called
for on all the ships of the fleet, and to the
credit of the American navy, be itsaid that
few flinched. Whole’ cheering crews
stepped forward at the summons for extra
hazardous duty. About 300 on board the
New York, some 180 on board the Iowa
and a like proportion from the other ships
volunteered, but Lieutenant Hobson, like
the brave hero he is, decided to risk as few
lives as possible. He picked three men
from the New York and three from the
Merrimac. The latter were green in the
service, but they knew the ship and had
pleaded hard to go, and one man stowed
away on board the collier.
Other men selected from various ships,
with Ensign Powell in command, manned
the launch, which was to lie at the harbor
mouth and take off those who escaped.
MERRIMAC WAS MADE READY.
The Merrimac was made ready. Six tor-
pedoes were strung along her portside, with
wire connections to the bridge. Her an-
chors were lashed at the bow and stern.
Her cargo of coal was shifted and her cargo
ports were opened so that she would more
readily fill when the time came to cut her
anchor lashings, open the sea cock and tor-
pedo her bulkheads.
The work was not completed until after
4 o’clock on Thursday morning, but, with
the sky paling in the east, Lieutenant
Hobson headed in on his desperate mission.
On board the ships of the fleet picketed
about the entrance every officer and man,
awaited the Yssue with eyes anxiously fixed
on the jutting headlands that marked the
entrance of the harbor. But, as the Merri-
mac steamed forward, Admiral Sampson,
pacing the deck of the flagship, looked at
his watch and at the streaks in the east and
decided that the Merrimac could not reach
the entrance before broad daylight. Con-
sequently the torpedo hoat Porter, which
was alongside, was despatched to recall the
daring officer. Lieutenant Hobson sent
hack a protest, with a request for permis-
sion to proceed, but the admiral declined
to take the risk and slowly the Merrimac
swung about.
HOBSON'S APPEARANCE AND}.DEMEANOR.
During the day Lieutenant Hobson went
aboard the flagship. His once white duck
trousers were as black asa coal heaver’s,
his old fatigue coat was unbuttoned and
his begrimmed face was deep furrowed
with tense lines, but steady resolution still
shone in his eyes. So absorbed was he in
the task ahead of him that, unmindful of
his appearance and of all ceremony and na-
val etiquette, he told the admiral in a tone
of command that he must not again be in-
terfered with. :
“I can carry this thing through,” said
he, “‘but there must he no more recalls.
My men have been keyed up for twenty-
four hours and under a tremendous strain.
Iron will break at last.
When Hobson left the ship and the ex-
tended hands of his shipmates, more than
one of the latter turned hastily to hide the
unbidden tear. But the lieutenant waved
Shem adieu with a smile on his handsome
ace.
Friday morning the Merrimac started in
shortly after 3 o'clock. The full moon had
disappeared behind a black cloud bank in
the west, leaving only a gray mark of heav-
ing waters and the dim outline of the Cu-
ban hills showing against the unstarred
sky to the watchers on hoard the ship’s
fleet.
CALM HOUR BEFORE DAWN.
Suddenly several blood red tongues of
flame shot down from the rocky eminence
on which Morro castle is situated. They
were followed by jets and streams of fire
from the batteries opposite. The Merrimac
bad reached the entrance of the harbor.
She must have passed so close that a stone
loosened from the frowning parapet of the
castle would have fallen upon her deck.
Into the murderous hail showered down
on her the Merrimac passed and moved on
a full quarter of a mile, enfiladed from
sides, rear and front with a plunging fire
from the batteries that surrounded her. It
seemed a miracle that her apparently rid-
dled hull could have reached the goal.
After five minutes the firing ceased and
all became dark again.
THEY WERE EARNING FAME.
When the curtain of the night was at last
lifted, the light disclosed a tiny steam
launch riding the waves at the very throat
of the entrance of the harbor. In an in-
stant the guns of the shore batteries were
turned upon her and, with a last, linger-
ing, vain look for the crew of the Merrimac,
Ensign Powell headed his launch close
along shore to the westward. In this lay
his salvation. The guns of the batteries
to the westward could not be depressed
enough to hit the little launch and the
gous of Morro castle could not bear upon
er.
SPANIARDS OVERSHOT THE LAUNCH.
But the Spaniards, nevertheless, fired
wildly, overshooting the launch, until the
latter was fully two miles up the coast.
Then some of the shells began to drop
fairly close, and one of them threw a cloud
of spray on board the small craft. In the
meantime the ships of the fleet had drawn
on until the New York, Massachusetts,
Texas and Marblehead were barely three
miles off Morro castle.
The firing of the great guns con-
tinued, but the gunnery seemed to
grew worse until the Spaniards became
tired. They were not rash enough, except
in two instances, to fire at the fleet, fear-
ing probably to provoke an antagonist
with the strength of Admiral Sampson.
As a result of the act of heroism per-
formed by Lieutenant Richmond P. Hob-
son and his seven companions in sinking
the collier Merrimac across the channel
leading into the harbor of Santiago de Cu-
ba, the Spanish fleet is now helpless, being
held captive in Santiago de Cuba harbor.
The narrow channel leading into the har-
bor was completely blocked when the Mer-
rimac was sunk across it. It is now im-
possible for the Spaniards to get out, and
it is equally impossible for any vessel to
get into the harbor.
They were all captured by the Spaniards
but the Spanish admiral, in recognition of
their bravery, sent word to the American
admiral, under a flag of truce, that he was
willing to exchange the prisoners, and as-
suring the American commander that they
would be treated with the greatest kind-
ness. Money and provisions have been
sent to them and the necessary steps have
been taken to bring about their exchange.

Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson,
assistant naval constructor,. was born at
Greenshoro, Ala., on Aug. 18. 1870, and
was appointed after a competitive exami-
nation to the naval academy in May, 1885.
He was the youngest member of his class,
but graduated at the head of his eighteen
companions. He has studied engineering,
under the auspices of the United States
government, in France, and was made as-
sistant naval constructor in 1891.
The Philippines.
Our New Possession in the Pacific a Queer Aggrega-
tion—S8omething About the People.
The American troops which are about to
visit the Philippine islands will find them-
selves in a country and among a people so
strange that those of them who may return
will have curious stories to relate in the
coming years.
These islands are out of the usual com-
mercial routes and tourists rarely visit
them. The climate is hot and sultry. The
islands are volcanic in character and sub-
ject to the visitation of typhoons and earth--
quakes. The hirds are beautiful, but
songless. The flowers are gorgeous, but
without odor. Tropical conditions prevail.
The inhabitants are generally in harmony
with their environment. The aboriginal
natives live in the mountains and forests
of Luzon. They are dark-skinned dwarfs
with enormous heads of fuzzy hair and be-
long to the most inferior races of savages,
They are described as treacherous and
cowardly, living from hand to hand in the
forest, extemporizing their sleeping places,
and subsisting on the fruits and nuts of the
woods and such game as they can kill with
their bows and arrows.
The principal population, however, con-
sists of Malays, Chinese and half-breeds.
The Malays and Mestizots, or half-castes,
are brown and yellow in complexion and
stalwart and muscular in form. They are
said to be mild and inoffensive in dis-
positition and slow toanger, but when fully
aroused their reckless courage amounts to
ferocity. They are, it will surprise many
to learn, exceedingly cleanly and fastidious
in their habits. They have strong filial
affections, yet are utterly cruel and unfeel-
ing in their treatment of animals, birds and
tnher inferior creatures. Despite their
muscular appearance they are incapable of
severe manual labor, and have little stami-
sa in meeting the ills of life. They succumb
in spirit readily to suffering or misfortune.
Their principal sport is cock-fighting.
Every family keeps its roosters for that
purpose. Not to own any is esteemed evi-
dence of extreme poverty or eccentricity.
A curious pet or rather servant in nearly
every house is a snake of the native python
order which serves the place of our cat in
disposing of mice and also cockroaches and
other vermin. The household snake usnally
does his work at night. He appears to be
an entirely congenial and useful member
of the family. Much more might be said
of these distant and strange people who
have so suddenly and unexpectedly become
of national interest to us, but the above
hasty sketch discloses some outlines of their
character. There are among them persons
of wealth and education, but the masses
are as ignorant of the kind of government
under which we live and of the institutions
and principles cherished by us as if they
belonged to another planet. The climate,
unfortunately, is not conductive to energy
or enterprise, but it is possible that the
substitution of enlightened and stimulating
American spirit and method for the semi.
barbarism of Spanish domination would in
a few years work a vast change in the char-
acter and lives of the “Filipinos.’’—Ro-
chester Democrat and Chronicle.

BEATS THE KLONDIKE. — Mr. A. C.
Thomas, of Marysville, Tex., has found a
more valuable discovery than has yet been
made in the Klondike. For years he suf-
fered untold agony from consumption, ac-
companied by hemorrhages ; and was ab-
solutely cured by Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery for consnmption, coughs and colds.
He declares that gold is of little value in
comparison with this marvelous cure ;
would have it, even if it cost a hundred
dollars a bottle. Asthma, bronchitis and
all throat and lung affections are positively
cured by Dr. King’s New Discovery for
consumption. Trial bottles free at F.

A Wet and Stormy June.
Hickssays June weather is to he rainy
and stormy. The first half will be made
up like the latter part of May. Brilliant
and severe lightning will accompany the
storms on account of the continued per-
turbations of Saturn’s opposition. The
storms will travel eastward.
Very warm weather will precede general
showers and numerous electrical and hail
storms from 19th to 22nd. After all these
storms cool weather will likely prevail.
Venus disturbance and the summer tolstice
will cause the storms and electrical phenom-
ena during the latter part of the month.
The first part of July will be rainy and
the lotter part will be characterized by in-
tense heat and excessive dryness.

Our Coal Wealth.
What is the most important and most
valuable of the products of the mines of
this or of any country? Is it gold ? By no
means. It is coal. Coal is potential energy.
It supplies the essential force of industry
and commerce as well as of naval warfare,
and no other one thing measures a nation’s
wealth producing capacity so well as its
production of coal.
This is one of the foundations of the
wealth and power of Great Britain, which
has long been the foremost coal-proeucing
country in the world. The second is the
United States, and last year our coal pro-
duction came so close to that of Great
Britain that it is reasonably sure soon to
surpass it. The latter has averaged, for
several years, about 218,000,000 tons. The
coal production of the United States in 1897
was over 200,000,000 tons.
This was an increase of about 12,000,000
over 1896, though the gain in value was
but $6,250,000, the average value of bitu-
minous coal at the mines being only 81
cents a ton.
When we consider the important part
that coal has already been shown to play
in naval warfare, and compare the 200,000,-
000 tons produced in the United States
with Spain’s annual product of less than
4,000,000 tons, we have an index of relative
strength more signsficant than population
or area. The coal production of the United
States is equal to that of Germany, Austria-
Hungary, France and Russia all together,
and it would be a discredit to us if we failed
to make good use of such advantages.—
