A FRENCH VIEW.

PARIS, May 2s.-The Gaulois says:
1T is quite probable that Schley or
Sampson will try to force the bay of
Santiago, risking all upon the attempt
for the passage is a most dangerous
operation on account of the narrow
ness of the channel and the torpedoes
that protect the entrance. This hy-
pothesis is confirmed by dispatch
from Havana announcing that the
American ships were being concen-
trated in front of Guantanamo and
other ports near Santiago, as well as
before Santiago itself. The attack of
the American feet upon the Spanish
squadron is the only way of hasten
ing the conclusion of the war. 1t is
useless expecting that the Spanish
ships will leave the bay. They have
adopted the only tactics that can be
used with safety" -

THE MAN OF THE MERR|MAC'
WHO LIEUT.. HOBSON is AND
WHAT HE HAS. DONE.
Sketch of the Young Officer Who has
Written His Name on the Scroll of
Fame.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The name of
Richmond +. Hobson has been added
to the list of American naval heroes
The superb courage displayed, and
GOODNESS and daring, in sinking the
collier Merrimac in the channel of
Santiago harbor, thus bottling up the
Spanish fleet, is another illustration
that the world has no equal of the
American sailor.
Lieutenant Hobson is assistant nd
val constructor. The hero of the Mer-
rimac is a surprise, even to those who
knew him best, for he was known as
a scientific man, a scholarly man, de-
voted to his books, to exact knowl-
edge At the time of the naval battle
of the Yalu, in the war between Chi
ma and Japan, Secretary Herbert, I'M
der whose patronage he entered the
academy, being a son of Herbert's
friend. desired to send Hobson to ia
pan to study the results of that bat
tie. Publicity prevented it.
In the academy Hobson was known
because of his superior character as
the "tin angel" term which implies
no disrespect on the part of his fell
low students. who came to admire
young Hobson. Lieutenant Hobson
entered the Naval Academy in May.
1885. He distinguished himself there
and was graduated in 1889 at the head
of his class. AS a consequence of
this distinction and of the remark
able ability he displayed he was sent
to France by the government to take
course in naval architecture. He
attended the Ecole Politechnique in
Paris and returned to the United
States in 1898. He served for a time
in the Bureau of Construction at
Washington and then went to the
navy yard in Brooklyn. Afterward
he served under Admiral Bunce. on
the North Atlantic squadron. From
there he went to the Naval Academy
to take charge of the post graduate
| course of instruction in naval archi-
lecture. He was performing this du-
tv when the war broke out.
Immediately Lieutenant Hobson ap.
plied for active duty. His friends all
laughed over this, because Hobson
was looked upon as a man who did
not care for fighting. Not that any.
bodv ever doubted his courage-that
is a thing never dreamed of in the
United States nayv-but it was taken
for granted that the tall, studious
vounp man. with his excessive mod
estv, wuld rather build ships than
fight them.
1t was only after much urging tina,
the department authorized Hobson tc
ioin the flagship of the North Allan
tic fleet in company with three OF
four naval cadets who were under
his instruction at Annapolis in the

THE POISONING OF MRS. ADAMS
Police Say it Is still Mystery-Cornish
 Not Arrested.

New York, Dec. 29.-The Adams-Cor- mystery as ever When the detective bureau, the district attorneys office, the coroners office and others seeking to find a solution of the strange case end ed their labors for the day all said that nothing had been learned that might assist in bringing the guilty persons to justice. The police are inclined to be- lieve that the person who sent the pois- on to Cornish is woman, although the evidence is of the most flimsy character and is largely based upon opions of more or less responsible parties. MT. Cornish, who was also poisoned at the time of Mrs. Adams death, is now com pletely out of danger, though confined to bed at the Knickerbocker Athletic club
 Captain McClusky denied that he had placed or contemplated placing MT. Cornish under arrest CT surveillance. He sent word to the Knickerbocker Athletic club, however, asking if Ger nish was able to come to headquarters, Dr. Coffin, who is attending MT. Cor nish, replied that his patient would not be able to leave his bed for two days. He said he was undoubtedly out of dan ger, but he did not went him to take any chances. pr. Coffin gave an inter- esting statement of how Cornish es- caped death, while Mrs. Adams, drink ing from the same glass, was killed by the deadly potion. Cornish mixed the poison" said Dr. Coffin, and gave it to Mrs. Adams. She drank but little, comp.a aiming that it was bitter. Cornish then took the balance and drained the glass to the dregs. I think the reason Cornish was not killed is that he drank

NEW SENATOR FROM VERMONT.
Will be Appointed by Governor to Suc-
 coed Late Senator Morrill,.

Montpelier, Vt, Dec. 29.-The suc- cessor of the late Senator Morrill, will undoubtedly be appointed by the gov ernor of Vermont, and may be Edward c. Smith of St. Albans. If the vacancy had occurred during the recent session of the legislature that body would pro- ceed in joint assembly to elect a sena- tor. The vacancy occurring during a recess of the legislature the power of appointment rests with the governor. Vermont has many candidates for the senatorship. Among the names most frequently mentioned are ex-Governor William P. Dillingham; of Waterbury, ex-Governor c. s. Page of Hyde Park, Hon. c. s. Prouty of Newport, Judge Henry c. Ide of St. Johnsbury and Con- gressman w. w. Grout. The senator by an unwritten law will come from the east side, it being the unbroken custom to have senator from each side of the mountain chain that divides the state. All the above mentioned candidates are from the east side.

New Britain Defeats New Haven by
 Narrow Margin.


 New Britain, Dec. 29.--An admrier of Doherty presented him with bantam rooster as he appeared on the floor to- night and for the entire game he play ed as if game birds had been his diet for weeks. His work in front of Bur gess was brilliant and saved New Brit aims goal tender many stops. New Britain won the game by a narrow margin, although New Haven's second goal was an exceptionally lucky one, and it was the general impression that one of the New Britain players kicked it into his own cage. Referee Long was compelled to stop the game six times to reprimand Lations, who per- sisted in rolling up the netting so that the ball would roll out. The summary: Score: New Britain 3, New Haven 2. Bushes, Russell 4, Bone 3. Stops, Bur- gess 40, Lations 43. Fouls, Doherty, Russell. Referee, Long. Timer, O'Neil. Attendance, 800.

AFRo-AMERICAN COUNCIL.
Bishop Walters Says south Cannot Con-
 ceal It's Barbarity Toward Negro.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The first an- nual meeting of the Afro-American council opened here to-day. Winthrop Alexander Walters of New Jersey, pre- sided. The council grew out of the meeting of prominent colored men at Rochester September 15 and was called in the interest of the amelioration of the condition of the Afro-American race. Bishop Walters delivered a lengthy address in which he reviewed the condition of the negroes from the time of the revolution down to to-day. The south, he said must treat the ne- gro, as it would have the negro treat the south. The south could no longer conceal it's barbarity towards the ne- gro Bishop Walters could not under stand the motives of those members of the race who counsel inaction. With the president silent in his message up- on the riots at Wilmington the time had come for the colored man to act-to act with firmness, calmness and after due deliberation. Every reference to the need of reforms in the south brought fourth thunders of applause and ex- pressions of approval.

CUBANS WlLLNOT CELEBRATE
GEN. BROOKE FORBIDS ANY PUB-
 LIC DENOMINATION.
Ills Determination to Protect spaniards Communicated to Cubans-They Had Prepared a Six Dnvs' Programme of Festivities With Music and Fireworks Every Night.
Every Night.

Havana, Dec. 29.-The firm determin- rages upon the returning or remaining Spaniards and to stop the sacking of Spanish stores at all hazards has been communicated to the prominent Cubans in Havana. Last night a meeting of the patriotic committees was held and this morning a delegation consisting of Dr. Juan F. Offarique. Frederico Mora, An gel Kohley, Emilio Hunez and Alfredo Zayas, waited upon General Ludlow to ask whether no portion of the pro- gramme might be carried out. Senor Nunez handed General Ludlow writ ten copy of programme of six days festivities. It provided for the folow- ing: On the first day a general ringing of bells; on the second a parade of Cu- ban soldiers followed by a dinner; on the third civic procession; on the fourth public assemblages and speech es; on the fifth, carnival and on the sixth, races between the American men of-war boats. The programme called for fireworks and music every night.
 Senor Kohley argued that General Ludlow need not fear disorders. He said that the people, who had long been oppressed, merely wished an opportuni- ty for public rejoicing and as the Amer jeans were going to demonstrate, the Cubans wished to participate. If part of their programme were carried out the population could not assume that there was any disagreement between the Cubans and Americans; if none of it was carried out the populace might draw erroneous conclusions.
 General Ludlow, who was very polite, promised to give the matter careful con- sideration. After the deputation had withdrawn he conferred with General Brooke and it was decided that it would be wiser not to allow any public mani festations on the part of the Cubans. General Ludlow prepared written re- ply, pointing out the extreme need of maintaining order in the interests of the people of Cuba, but the sympathy of the Americans was with the desire of the Cubans to celebrate. He urged, how ever, that there was the danger of giy- in an opportunity to ill-disposed or thoughtless persons to make trouble, which would harm the city's interests. On all these grounds, concluded General Ludlow, it was expSdient that there should be no general public display Of feeling.

 When they found he was unable to come to them, Captain McClusky and MT. Mcintyre, accompanied by stem ographer, went to the Knickerbocker Athletic club and were in conference with Cornish for more than an hour. Captain McClusky said that little had been learned that had not already been published. He stated that Cornish told him that the silver holder had evidently been used, and while it was marked sterling" it was plated. It was not a Tiffany article, but came in Tiff any box and had Tiffany card in the pack age. That the contents of the bottle were cyanide of potassium is generally believed by physicians and police alike, but only chemical analysis will deter mine this to a certainty.
