Shall Not Move the Wreck.

Admiral SIMPSON, is determined
MT TO allow the Spanish to remove
the Mtrrimac from the place where
she lies. On Saturday it was re-
ported that they were working at
the hull and the American flee
formed line of battle, with orders 10
bombard. 1t turned out that the
Spanish were uot so engaged and
the fleet withdrew.
Admiral Sampson had given orders
that Ell Moro, wherS the heroes of
the Merrimac are imprisoned. shonld
be spared in the firing Admiral
Ceveras polite assurances were ao-
cOmpanied by the statement that
Lieut. eniht HobsOn and his men
were confined there. This placing
of prisoners in the dii ect line of fire
is denounced by the American off
cert as thirteenth century defence
and act OF incarnatc cruelty.

Col. william j. Bryan,

1t appears that Mr.. Bryan may
get his regiment after all. We hone
he will. He has come forward at his
country's call, anxious to serve il in
any way, and has devoted himself
TO the creation and organization of
Nebraska regiment. He has not
vaunted himself. He has display
ell no spirit of vanity or ostentation.
While hordes of popinjays-favorite
proteges ofgreat meu, curling dar-
iings of society-clamored for staff
positions or big commands, William
j. Bryan, with more ability than
any hundred of them put together,
has gone to work modestly aud with
ous self-seeking. He recruited q
force and il was taken m him
He persisted and got another force
The newspapers have made fun OF
him. his enemies have sought to COW
er him with ridicule and derision
now there is another regiment and
both the soldiers and the Governor
want Bryan to command it. We
trust 1T may be SO. Mr.. Bryan is
young. he is patriotic, has courage
nerve, brains, initiative, equili-
brium. There is nothing discredi-
table i'm his ambition to lead regi-
ment of his fellow citizens in this
emergency. We do not know where

miral Sampson on Friday morning
decided to close the narrow entrance
of Santiago De Cuba by sink ing the
collier Merrimac loaded with coal,
in the channel He called for volun
teers to go TO almost certain death,
and 1000 men offered themselves.
Lieutenans Hobson and seven men
were chosen, and at 3 o'clock Friday
morning, the Merrimac, under her
own steam, entered the channel
under terrible Spanish fire.
The vessel was riddled with pro-
jectiles, bnt she anchored and swung
around. Lieutenant Hobson then
set off an internal torpedo with an
electrical attachment. There was
ali explosion, the Merrimac sank. the
channel was closed. and. apparently,
Admiral Cervera will be unable to
escape.

Did They Sink a Destroyer?

On Board the American Press
Dispatch Boat Dauntless, off Santi.
ago de Cuba, via Kingston. June 6.
Whether the American fleet sunk
a Spanish torpedo-boat destroyer on
Friday night has not been absolutely
confirmed.
AT 10 o'clock Friday night the
cruiser New Orleans discovered what
appeared to be torpedo boat de
stroyer close to the shore and sigal.
led the flagship New York that a
night torpedo attack was to be made.
Both the New York and New Or
leans opened fire, and their shells
burst around the dark object. Final
ly a 13 inch shell from she Massa.
chuetts (uot the Oregon as first
reported,) was fred and exploded.
The search lights of the vessels
were turned on the spot where the
supposed destroyer had been sight
ed, bu9 not trace of the boat could
be found, and it is believed on thd
New York that she was sunk.
The first assumption was that the
vessel was the Terror, bu: il is
thought now that il was the Plutou
or Furor, rs the Terror is not under
stood to have been at Santiago. On
Saturday two Schwarzkopf torpedos
were found floating two miles south
of El Moro This is the class of
torpedo used by the Spanish and
one OF the two found had on the
practice head.
Many officers of the fleet believe
that n darkened eye train that was
moving along the shore was the real
object Of the bombardnent, instead
OF destroyer. No wreckage had
been found, no dead bodies have
been noticed. and it is possible that
the torpedos were some of those
fired at the collier Merrimac when
Lieutenant Hobson sunk her, which
subsequently fOated outside the
harbor.

from signals from the Vixen WA, SO
intense that the appearance of the

prise that might have been expected.
Admiral Sampson greeted Captain
Oviedo most cordially, thanking
Admiral Cervera for his gallant
courtesy, and made the preliminary
arrangements for the exchange of
Lieutenant Hobson and his seven
heroes.
However, rs they have naturally
