A BREACH OF DISCIPLINE
Hobson's Recent Utterances
Meet With Disfayor.
NAVAL OFFICERS WORDS
The Young Lieutenant Allowed His
Zeal to Oyerbalance His Judg-
ment When He Said He Would
Ask for Popular Subscription
for Money to Raise the Colon.

Naval Constructor Hobson's threat in
connection with the raising of Admiral
Cerveras sunken warships on the San
tiago coast Is liable to involve him in
difficulty with the Navy Department.
This is the opinion of several naval Off
GERS who were approached on the SUBJ
ject yesterday
Hobson has announced, it is said, that
if the department does not furnish him
with sufficient money to raise the Span
ish vessels he will appeal to the Ameri-
can people TO raise a fund ample for
that purpose by popular subscription.
This threat, naval officers say, consti-
tutes breach of discipline, while to at
tempt to carry out his project would be
still more serious breach, as we'll as an
insult to the department and reflection
upon the entire Government.
'Is do not believe said a naval officer
carry out his subscription scheme. He
must know what the inevitable conse-
quences of such an act would be- Hob
son is young, ambitious, and brave, and
has earned the highest honors by his
bravery at the mouth of Santiago harbor
in sinking the Merrimac and risking his
life. Now his ambition is leading him
into a pitfall, l am afraid. He wants TO
float the sunken Spanish ships and hon
estly believes he can do so, but the war
board and Admiral Sampson have de-
cided against him, and like the true gen.
tleman and brave sailor he is. the young
man should gracefully subside."
Another naval officer said Lieut.. Hob
son has already rendered himself liable
TO reprimand by disobeying and ignoring
the explicit orders of the Department. II
was decided that it would cost too much
to raise the Cristobal Colon, and Hobson
was ordered to abandon work on the YES
sci. Instead of obeying the order, it ap-
pears that he ignored it and continued
his operations about the sunken ship.
Hobson believes the Cristobal Colan can
be raised for $500, 600, and that II is worth
while making the attempt, even if he has
TO ask the American people directly for
the money. He is reported 10 have said
that he would not be disappointed If the
vessel should break in two when she was
got afioat, yet he thinks the chances of
success are great enough to warrant the
expenditure of the money
Il cannot believe that Lieut. Hobson
has willfully violated direct order from
his superior officers" continued the Off
Ger, and l hope the incident may be
ended ar once, so that no overzealous act
of his shall diminish one iota of the
glory he won by his entrance into the
mouth of Santiago Harbor in the face of
the Spanish guns"
Lieut. Hobson's idea IS to use the in
n ~ haI -
Ion. That is to fill the interior of the
sunken warship with empty air bags and
then pump air into them in such Quanti-
ties that the vessel will rise to the sur
face.
The main point made against this plan
was that the Navy Department had al
lowed too much time to elapse before the
attempt was made, and the War Board
and Admiral Sampson so reported.

POLITICAL EMISSARIES,
They PromuIgate False Ideas About
Voting Franchises.

1t is understood that the Republican
congressional committee has emissaries
diligently at work in the city, whose
business it is to persuade persons who
have come 10 the District from the
States that it is useless to go to their
homes to register for the coming cleo
ton.
These emissaries represent to the credu-
lous ones that if person resides more
than a year in the District of Columbia
he loses or forfeits his franchise in the
State from which he came
This argument is being used quite
freely among foreigners who have come
to Washington TO fill positions, and who
are now anxious TO go back to their
homes to register for the fall elections.
