“The precise nature of the

“The present pause in hostili-

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.

Editor Daily Times : The latest

Gonzales is contemplating a return

horse, his noble charger having
been captured by the crawfishes in
wading through the marsh, or de
stroyed by the aaud flies after
reaching shore. We suggest to
his many friends in Florence that
they purchase Backemflukuss,
mentioned in your issue of Satur*

Buckemflukuss is easily kept and
by this time should have learned
considerable of the cavalry evo

bought reasonably from the attor
