who quarrel with one another before

to grow up in idleness; those who talk
about their troubles before strangers;
the father who tells his children TO

and the young woman who does not

THE AMERICAN FLAG
FLOATING OVER CUBA.

FACT BY THE NAVY DEPARTMENT..

ing OF United States Regular Troops
ns Soon az They Arrive-Admiral
Sampson TVlla the Story Of tho
. Daring Feat of Lieut. Hob
son And Ills Mon. ...

Washington, June I1.--The neyy
department was in communication to
day with Admiral Sampson off San
tiago by cable and by mail, with tho
result that it is now known and has
been declared officially that the
American flag floats over Cuba; that
it was raised by United States ma
rinps at the mouth of Guantanamo
Bay. The marines who have thus
gloritied themselves were 800 in
number. They wore obliged to fight
for their lives, aud in tho course of
that fight to burn down the town
chosen as a site for debarkation.
All is ready at Guantanamo now for
the landing Of the United States
regular troops as soon as they arrive
there, tho marines holding the
ground that they won and being pro-
tected by the guns of the Marble
head under Captain McCalla.
Regarding the fleet of transports,
no statement is obtainable at the
war department, and it is beloved
that tho situation is rs it stood yes
terday with respect to the starting
Of the expedition.
A subject for an official bulletin
today at the navy department was
Hobson's glorious feat in bottling up
the Spanish squadron with the hull
of the Merrimac. With the frank
ness of candor peculiar to the man,
Admiral Sampson withheld no credit
from Hobson for either the execution
or project Of we'll worked cut
scheme to which the constructor was
entitled, and he has cleared away at
1 once the small cloud of dissatisfac-
tion that shown itself among few
Of the line officers because of the
selection Of a staff officer in the por-
son of Hobson to conduct the des.
perate enterprise.
Reference was made in Sampson's
statement to tho "inspiring letter"
of Secretary Long as basis for the
request for Hobson's promotion.
With tho consent Of Secretary Long,
tho particular passage in the letter
to which Admiral Sampson referred
is now made public. 1t reads:
"Each man engaged in the work
of tho inshore squadron should have
in him the stuff out Of which to make
Il possible Gushing; and if the man
wins, the recognition given him shall
be as great as that given to Cushing,
80 far as the department can bring
this about"
(Signed) "JonN D. Lone,
.t "Secretary."
Hobson has won, and if he escapes
from his present thraldom the navy
department. will redeem it's promise.
a consultation of the records of the
navy department shows that tho
recognition accorded Gushing was his
advancement ono full grade-that
is, from the rank Of lieutenant, which
he held when he took his little boat
up to tho Albermarle, to the rank of
lieutenant commander. In addition,
he was given vote of thanks by
Congress. If Hobson is rewarded in
the same measure he will, if kept in
his corps, be raised to tho rank Of
lientenant commander at least, and
made full constructor instead of
the assistant constructor which be
now is" a...
