Hobson Probable Course of the Government in Case Spain Should Refuse to Exchange the Merrimac Prisoners That Cadiz Fleet. Washington. June 20. Public atten tion here today was divided nlmost evenly between three subjects, the movements of General Shnfter'e army, the probability of 1 enforcements hav ing reached Dewey and the status of Hobson, the naval hero. TTp to a late hour neither of the anxiously awaited messages which were to announce the arrival of the transport at Santiago and Manila, had rearhed either the war or navy departments. It was not doubled, however, that our vessels are off Santiago, for although proceeding at a less speed than the English steamers which, at Kingston, today re ported having paseed them In the Windward passage last night, the dls tance which they would be obliged to travel from the Windward passage to Santiago is less than that traversed by the British phlp, which came Into Ja malca in the early afternoon If they arrived only this morning off Santi ago, they could report that fact solely by means of a dispatch boat running over to Kingston, a twelve-hour Jour ney, so that direct reports from the fleet cannot be expected till a late hour tonight. During the day dispatches announc ing that Captain General Blanco had refused to exchange Hobson and hlfi fellow prisoners caused some Indigna tion which was modified later by Mad rid advices quoting Sagasta as saying no decision had been reached. Should Spain adopt the cruel and unusual course of refusing an exchange, the regulations of the war department are sufficient to meet the case. The fol lowing Is laid down In Its regulations: "Retaliation will never be resorted as a measure as mere revenge, but only ne a. measure of protective retri bution, and moreover, cautiously and unavoidably; that is to say, retalia tion shall only be resorted to after careful Inquiry Into the real occur rence, and the character of the deeds that may demand retribution.

It was pointed out today by a lead ing officer of the army that the Span ish had most to lose by a course of cruelty which would call for retalia tion, as the number of Spanish prison era Is far greater than that of Ameri can prisoners. There was a wholesale christening at the navy department today when Scc tetary Long supplied names for no lesg than thirty-five war craft. All of these were provided for in the last naval appropriation bill, and' while contracts for their construction have not yet been let, the advertisements have been Issued, except In the case of monitors, and all the boats will be un der way before cold weather.

Mr. Davis, chair man of tho committee on foreign tela tlons. Immediately demanded the yeas and navs The motion, tho vote upon which was a test of strength between the fi lends nnd opponents of annexa tion, was defeated decisively 44 to 13. Having gained his point in developing tho numerical weakness of the oppo sition, Mr. Davis readily agreed to en ter a motion for an executive session. The pioceedlngs of the day Indlrate clearly that there Is to be no debate upon the Hawaiian question In the or dinary acceptation of that term. It Is not the purpose of the friends of annex ation to consume time in maklns speeches They will permit the oppon ents of the project to occupy all of the time. This plan of campaign is not satisfactory to the latter nnd during the session today considerable bitter ness was manifested at times.

This Is the message General Garcia sent to the American people: "I am gieatly obliged for the efforts of tho American people In securing tho independence of Cuba, unci I shall do all I can to defeat the Spaniards quick ly." Speaking of tho march from Banes, where he went to receive the munitions of tho 'Tlorlda expedition." he said- "We had a hard, hard match oer the rough roads. Had no engagement with the Spaniards, because there were no Spaniards. My 4,000 men nre In good condition except for the slight fntlgue of the long march. We found enough food, though the Spaniards are starv ing. The patriots are not suffering from the blockade. They can always get food. It Is the Spaniards who pay the price. I think tho wni will be over In a few months. You can beat the Spaniards easily, but It Is very hard to drive them out."
