Present
Washington, June 4.-"The cork Is
driven in the bottle" was the comment
of naval officers at the navy department
this morning upon the news Of the sink
ing of the collier Merrimac In the chan
mel at the entrance to Santiago harbOr.
They are absolutely satisfied that the ship
was sent in by the design of Sampson to
close the channel and prevent the escape
OF the Spanish squadron, and that the
undertaking was successful. II 80, II will
rank as one Of the boldest achievements
in naval history.
1t is not possible now to learn who
made up the crew destined 10 be famous.
There il no doubt, however, that at least
two officers OF the Merrimac were aboard,
named Commander j. NJ. Miller, of Mis-
souri, and Assistant Engineer r. X,

Much Evidence Of Illegal Methods
Brought to Light.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Assistant Sec
rotary Vanderlip is now sending t sub
scribers about 5000 bonds a day, and
this number will be increased later on.
Recently notices of allotments have
been sent to a number of people who
had subscribed and forwarded the re-
quired cash, but TO- deny all knowl-
edge Of the transaction. The indica-
tons are that their names had been
used by interested parties without au-
thority, with a view to getting possess
sion of the bonds in violation to the
spirit of the law. These cases are
under investigation. There are also a
large number under suspicion from
other causes aggregating in amount
several million dollars, SO that 1t will
be impossible to state the maximum
amount which eventually will be al
loted until all Of these cases are de-
cided. The indications. however, are
that the amount will fall between $4,-
400 and $1,000.
