Lieutenant Hobson bad his plans

and hard work. Murphy was to cut
loose the forward anchor, Montague

"Ah, that is another thing," said the

The Merrimac was made ready.
Six ttsrpedoes were strung along her

The werk was sot complete until

with the ky paling in the east Lieu
tenant Hobson headed in on his des
perate taiaslon. As the Merrlmat
steamed forward Admiral Sampson
looked at ttm watch aad at the streaks
ta the east, aad decided that the Merri
mac could uat reach tha entrance be
fore broad daylight Consequently the
torpedo boat Porter was dispatched to
recall the daring officer. Lieutenant
Hobson sent back a protest, with a re
quest for permlsion to proceed. -But
the admiral declined to allow btm to

1 la shortly after S o'clock. 81ewly
the seconds of fate ticked oa as. for an
hour, 1, 090 strained eyes strove to
pierce the deep veil of night
Suddenly several blood red tongues
of flame shot down from the rocky em
Inence on which Morro Castle Is sit
uated. They were followed by Jets
dnd streaks of Are from the batteries
opposite. The Merrimac had reached
the entrance of the harbor. Into tha
murderous fire the Merrimac passed
and moved a full quarter ot a mile.
It seems a miracle that her apparently
riddled hull could have reached the
goal. After live minutes the firing
ceased, and all became dark again.
Spaniards Admire Their Bravery.
Then among ths watchers of the
fleet arose the question as to whether
those five minutes of murder had left
grief stricken mothers or widows or
orphans. Many a gunner's mate be
sought permission to Are, but nothing
could be done, as an ill directed shot
might kill our men, possibly struggling
In the water toward the open sea.
when the curtain of night waa at
hut lifted the light disclosed a tiny
steam launch riding the waves at the
very throat of the entrance of the har
bor. In an instant the guns of the
shore batteries were turned upon her,
and with a last, lingering, 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 bat
teries to the westward could not bo
depressed enough to hit the little
launch, and the guns on Morro Castle
would not bear upon her.
Cervera, the Spanish admiral, waa bo
struck with the courage of the Merrl
mac's crew that he thought Admiral
Sampson should know they had not
lost their lives. He therefore sent his
chief of staff, Captain Oveldo, to board
the New York under a flag of truce.
Captain Oveldo told how Hobson and
his men had Jumped Into a boat as the
torpedoes were exploded and rowed
away from the sinking collier. As it
would have been impossible to row to
our fleet through the storm of shot and
shell they rowed to the Spanish flag

stated that two of our men are slightly

Lieutenant Hobson had fired the tor
pedoes which mnk the Merrimac the
men were unable to reach the dingy.
They swam te the shore and were cap

.The Spanish admiral offers to ex
cnairge the prisoners, and declares that
meanwhile they will be treated with
the greatest kindness. Their bravery
has won for them the admiration of
every man In the Spanish fleet. When

WAI NEWS OF THE WEEK.

Washington, June T. On Tuesday of
last week came the report of a
naval battle at Santiago de Cuba.
The Urst reports made it appear that

Dispatches from Santiago, via Port au

an intention on the part of Commodore

the plan of campaign Is to send 7S.000

Aside from ths detailed story of

little te the war news. Domingo Men

aad the speechee of the Britons were
all highly eulogistlo of our Institutions.
6lr Frederick Pollock predicted that
there would be "one fleet under two
flags to keep the peace of the world."
Further reports came from Commodore
Schley ot his recent reconnoisance at
Santiago, showing that he had Inflicted
considerable damage on the fortifica
tions, while our ships were wholly un
injured, the Spanish Imitation of gun
nery approaching the ridiculous. The
censorship at southern coast polnta has
grown more rlald, and not a line re
garding the movement of troops cau
be sent out, indicating that the trans
portation of troops to Cuba and Porto
Rico is rapidly progressing. In th
house a bill was favorably reported to
permit the volunteers to vote In con
gressional elections, V-herever they may
be. Finally, early Saturday morning,
came a brief report of the marvelous
achievement of Lieutenant Hobson and
his seven brave volunteers at Santiago.
This waa the only great event reported
in Saturday's dispatches.
Sunday's dispatches brought the de
tails of Lieutenant Hobson's marvelous
exhibition of heroism at Santiago. A
letter made public which had been pur
loined from the rooms of Lieutenant
Carranxa, late Spanish naval attache
at Washington, and now In Montreal,
shows that Carrania is at the head
of a Spanish spy system. Efforts were
taken by our government to, have Car
ransa expelled from Canada, but the
Spaniard denied that the letter as pub
lished was written by him. He denied
complicity with the spy system, and
said the letter had been garbled to suit
the United 'States government. Still
later Detective Kellert was honorably
discharged after a hearing at Montreal
on the charge of stealing this identical
letter. Kellert at once brought sutt for
IJ&.000 damages for falBe arrest, and
Carranxa and Senor Du Bosc were ar
rested and gave ball for a hearing.
They cannot now leave Canada without
sacrificing this ball. The Fpanlnh press
and people regard the sinking of the
Merrimac at Santiago as "a great
Spanish victory."
