Washington, June 4.-From early
morning, when the first newspaper
appeared on the street containing
the brief statement of the sinking of
the Merrimac in Sdntiago harbor, the
afficials of the navy awaited with in
terest official confirmation from Ad.
miral Sampson. In the afternoon
the story came, lacking .in detail; it
is true, but giving in rough outline a
sketch of American heroism that will
live through generations to come.
There is no doubt that the name
Hobson is destined to be bracketed
with that of Cushing among Ameri
ca's naval heroes and, indeed, it was
the opinion of the majority of officers
who scanned the Associated Press
account of the sinking of the Morri
man that the exploit surpassed in
brilliancy and as an exhibition of
cool daring even Cushing's famous
attack upon the ram Albemarle.
Reward sure and adequate is await
ing these American heroes ann Act
ing Secretary Allen has so pledged
himself after consultation with Sec.
rotary Long, who is still confined to
his room by a lame leg. Medals and
promotion are the leastthey can ox
poet at the hands of a grateful peo
ple. Moreover they will not languish
long in a Spanish prison if the au
thorities here can bring about their
relealso, for half an hour after Samp
son's bulletin was displayed on the
walls of the navy department, Col.
(Cartei-, as the adjutant general, -had
taken the preliminary steps to arrange
for an exchange of prisoners, and
was learning just how many Spanish
officers and enlisted men were still
held'in captivity at Fort McPherson,
Ga., where they had been taken from
the prizes captured 'by the American
naval vessels.
In addition to those the navy has
just turned over to the military au
thorities at Fort Monroe, for safe
keeping, another Spanish office-,
supposed to be of high rank, but who
has so far managed to conceal .his
identity. The officials are confident
that they have more than enough
Spanish officers to offer as ransom
for the one American oficer and
seveo' enlisted men hold by Corvera.
PRCAIsE FORl ADMIRIAL OREvRA.
The oflicors one andl all took note
of the generous recognition by the
Spanish admiral of the bravery of
the Americana and his kind treat
ment of the prisoners, and it can be
gnaranteed that the admiral's lines
will fall in as pleasant placos as any
captive has a right to exp)ect
should ho be overcomo in the end
andfocedtosurrender to Sampson.
The naval situation is believed to
be .entirely satisfactory. Notwith
staliding the Spanish reports of the
clearing away of the Merrinmac it is
not believed for an instant that
Sampson will submit to losing this so'
dearly purchased advantage, and he
can be relied upon to prevent the no
moval of the obstruct,ion. With the
Spanish fleet caged inside the har
b)or, there to r-emain until they are
starved out or surrender, Sampson
will be free to detach most of his
powerful squadron for servico else
where. This moans, according .to
common belief, an immnediato attack
upon San Juan.
Peace signs havo been multiply
n g; there has been a notable change
in the tone of the Spanish pres', and,
althoughi up to this moment no ad
vances haive b)OOn made to the State
department by aniy of the European
1Pow~ers, there is an imdefinable suig
gestionl in the air that any moment
nay f>ring forth overtures of this
kind.

Government has information, which

Naval Constructor Hobson, whose
name is on every lip in Washington
tonight, is well-known at the 'navy
department, as he served in the bu
reau of construction for soveral years.
His avsociates regard him as combin
ing great ability as a student with
tho eccentricity often accompanying
genius.
HOBSON, OF ALABAMA.tl
It was remarked by one of the
chief officials of the department to
night that Hobson was a man who
held naval regulations concerning
matters of form in contempt, and
was oblivious to oflicial rules. These
daro devil characteristivs were offset,
however, by his recognized ability in
all branches of naval science, par
ticularly architecture. Although the
youngest.man in his class at the
Naval Academy, he graduated at the
head of the class, a signal honor,
which led to hi being sent by the
Government for a course in the naval
schools of Europe. 1oro he gained
new honors. On returning to this
country he served with the depart
mont and also saw sott service, and
about a year ago became instructor
in naval architecture at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis. When the
war broke out ho asked for activo
service and at the same time insisted
on taking the throo naval cadets of
his class with him in order that they
might gain the advantage of practi
cal experienco on shipboard (luring
the war.
wAS ABOARD TIE FLAO FHIP.
As a result ho and his three cadets
wore assigned for service on Admiral
Sampson's flag ship. It, was the
prevailing -ex pres.sion at the dopart
mont tonight that Hobson was just
the character to take the leandin such
a hazardous fent as that of sinking
the Merrimac. It is presumed that
Admiral Sampson choso him from
among niiany volunteers, owing to
the fact ilst his expert knowledge of
naval conist ruction wvould perit him i
to sink the Merrimae in such a posi
tion as to priovo) most effective in
blocking the channel.
SKETcH OF 1H1s CAREERI.
From naval sources a full eketch
of Constructor HIobsion wasy seured
as follows: Richmond Pearson lIob
son, borni August 17, 1870, at G reens
boro, 1Halo County, Ala., wvhere he
also graduated from the Southern
University, at the head of his class.
Appointed to the Naval Academy in
comipet itivo exam ination in May,
1885, .tand although the youngest
man of the class, graduted at its
head in 1889. H1is lirst cruise was
to Brazil, when the now Brazilian
Republbc was recognized. Hie was
ordlered to a special course abroad,
spendinmg one ye'ar at thle National
School of Mines at Paris, anmd two
years at tho School of Maritime
Science inl the saimo cityv. T1he sum
mecr vacation was spont in French
i.hip yard a. Hoe received diplom:as
from the French school for dlistinoc
tion in naval consltru1ction and do
sign, both of huls and ongines. 1-e
also spont somo time11 in the English
sluip yards
He was assigned1 to duty at the
navy department in 1891, in the
offices of naval intelligence, bureau
of construction and repair.' While
on this dutty he wrote a report on his
obsorvation aibrona also a report on
disappearir - guns afloat, which was
discussed L, naval experts on both
sides of the water.
In 1895 he was on duty at the
New York navy yard as asgistant to
the naval constructor. He inspect
ed the yacht fonder and made an
iotoresting report on that prize craft.
Later ho joined Admiral Bunco on
the flag ship Now York. As a result
of this service he inaugurated the
now system of giving sea duty to
naval constrnctors. He proposed,
.rganized and conducted the post
graduate course at the United States
Academy, fixing the special course
at three years for ollcers desiring
the high attainments in naval science.
April 17 last he was assigned to duty
as constructor for the floet at Key
West.
Mr. Hobson is the author of a
political naval military paper on the
"Situation and Outlook in Europo,"
which has received considerablN at
tontion abroad. During the China.
Japan war hn was selected as the
American naval obseivr, but his so,
lection was revohed, owing to the
opposition of line olliers to those in
the construction I wvice.
Constructor Hobson is a great
nephew of Governor John Moore
head, of North Carolina. -lis father
was a well known liwyer and Judge
of that State. On 1ho maternal line
he is a grandson of Chief 'Justico
Pearson, of North Carolina, and a
nephew of Reprosentativo Pearson
of that State. He is a great grand
son of former Senator Williams, of
Tennessee.

(Columbia Record.)
Senator Geo. S. Mower of New
berry propounded a question to the
Democratic Executive Committee at
their meeting last night that favored
a staggerer. At every attempt I
swallow and digest the question the
committee was soized with a violent
attack of political cramp colic. They
spent two hours and a half writing
over the problem during which
10,000 resolutions, more or less,
were introduced and killed, and it
was midnight before they got a final
answer.
Horo is a copy of the formidable
question: "Whether or not the sug.
gestion of a candilato by the recent
prohibition convoution makes the
person who is suggested and accepts
a candidate in the Domoratic pri
mary such as is forbidden by the
terms of the pledgo prescribed by
the constitution of the Democratic
party of this State."
Finally Mr. Winkler moved that
the answer be "No, he will not be
debarred." An aye and nay vote
was taken and dreloped a tie. So.
the motion was lost..
Mr. L. J. Williams introduced the
following:
"As the nominee of the Prohibi
tion faction, yes, he is debarred; if
he is an individual Prohibition can.
didate within the Domocratic party,
no be is not dobarred."
Mr. Dial, of Laurons, introduced
the followihg as a substitute-:
"We interpret the constitution as
disproving factional nominations,
but if the pledge is bigned by.the
candidates as individuals their votes
will be counted." -
This was adopted and the com
mittee sighed with relief, and after
indulging in a little breathing spell
the other business before the coin
mitte was disposed of.

'iDN'T SAY IT."
Why Public Sprukers Frequienwly Try to
MAOce Scap,egoats of Iteporterp.
[Froi the iBoston- Journal.]
A %,oll-known author, whoni asked
ia privato if ho had said certain
things which luad heen attributed to
him, replied: "I can't say that I
didn't say thom, and yet when I
read thmo in print tiy gave mo
a chill." His disturbed foolings havo
been the i -ings of many another
man who does not stop to consider
how his words might look inl print.
Becauso of just such a lack of fore.
thought many men blamo the ows
papers fcr misreprsenuting their
viowe.
. The o!!leiholder, h clegyan
or the profe.ssor who speaks more or
less informall y across the dining
table to a imaill body of inon,
is ofted inchned to employ the
omlphasis 1111d careless Onitliulsiasiml
which Io might. uso in privato con
vorsation. Wlmbi lie find.s his words
reported in the tot ming paper they
sometimes havo a sharper sound
than hie thought they would have.
The modifying idoas that ho ox
pressed in his "Fourthly" or "Last
1y" aro not inclided perhaps in the
portions quotod. Thi linotylpe has
not caught thO semi-seriou- tone of
voico lie assumed during cortain
statements. Consequently, ho con
cludes thai his remarks havo boen
garbled, aindl hn writes to the oditor
claiming that ho has booen misrepro
sentod, and lie toils his friends that
reporters never got an'ytlhinjg right..
Reporters err often, no doubt, but
for every reporter's error in summar
izing public addrnsses which speak
ers will show u- will proswnt tvi
donco of another causo for similar
trouble, evidence that the spealkers
have wished to retract or to modify

portors are trained to pick out the,
vigorous, the unusual and the start
ling. They are also trained to avoid
pervorsions and statenents (hey
shall have to take back. They know
the dangers of condensation, and
they know the penalty of careless
1ess.
We are not unaware of their
short-comings, but, we know that the
public speakor is not misquoted half
so often as lie says lie is. Hfis sober
second thought occurs to him only
after hie hias soon hiis speech in

liquor is di unk and is easier' to get in
Maie than in licenLse Statest."
If rohibition doesR not inhure the
liquor traflic, why is it that the liquor
mon flghlt it so bitter-ly?
The conclusion or the wholc matter,
then, with those who are sincerely
seeking truth, is this: If pr-ohibition
diminishes crime, pauperism, and sul
criig, and increases the prosperity and
haipiness of the peoile, to whatever
extent It does this, it, is more desirable
thanti any system which fails to do it,
and is therefore more worthyof accept
ancE.
As some one has said: "if pirohibition
dootlnot succeed, drunkavd-m1iki'ng may
b3 lawfully endorsed. If law-breakers
defy and violate the law. then, to pre
vent the viol Ation, the law sl.ould be
set aside and the crime legalizedt thenl
the amount of violation is to detel-mino
the life of the law. A premium is thus
set for a greater degrCe of violation."
