Washington, July* 24—Lieut Hobson came over from New York last night to Washington, and had a long conference to-day with As sistant Secretary Allen, Capt. Branford and several other officers of the navy department relative to the raising of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon. The lieutenant succeeded, while in New York, in arranging with the Merritt & Chap man Wrecking company, for the execution of the plans h£ had pre pared for saving the vessels. The wreckers have promised to get to gether the pontoons, air bags and compressed air apparatus, which will be required to lift and right the vessel, and they expect to start this material for Santiago from New York on a fast vessel within three days. Lieutenant Hobson is confident, that if the work can be undertaken • before a cyclone sets in, it will result successfully. The navy department has given his plans the fullest approval, and he will leave in the course of a day or two for Santiago to supervise the work. From Frlendfleld.

Buckemflukuss is easily kept and by this time should have learned considerable of the cavalry evo lutions, and we think could be bought reasonably from the attor ney who owns him as he finds that legal duties will require that he relinquish bit contemplated con quest of the tropics, for the pres ent at least.
