Lieut. HQbson Hopes to Raise the Wreck
of the Crlstobal Colon.

OI JHe SoiOhs
Washington, July 25.-Lieut. Hob
son had long conference yesterday
with Assistant Secretary Allen, Capt.
Bradford and several other officers OF
the navy department regarding the
raising of the Spanish cruiser Cristo-
bal Colon. The lieutenant succeeded
while in New York IN arranging with
the Merritt & Chapman Wrecking Co.
for the execution of the plans he had
prepared for saving the vessels. The
wreckers have promised to get to-
gether the pontoons, air bags and
compressed air apparatus which will
be required to lift and right the vessel
and expect to start this material for
Santiago from New York on fast
vessel within three Gays. Lieut.. Hob
son is confident that if the work can
be undertaken before a cyclone sets
in it will result successfully.
The proposed plan involves methods
and appliances outside of those usu-
ally employed in wrecking. They
necessitate the use of air appliances OF
various kinds in raising the ship that
rarely if ever before have been used
on vessels of the size of the Colon, and
although there is some doubt of its
success the navy department officials
think the prize well worth the expert
ment. Hobson returned to New York
in the afternoon and will go to Santi-
ago to supervise the wrecking work.

New York, July 2o.-George o. Lord
has brought suit in the supreme court
against the Company Transatlantic
Espanola, j. NJ. Ceballos agent, who in
behalf of the Spanish line made the
bid for transporting $4,000 defeated
dons from Santiago to Spain at $55 for
officers and $40 for enlisted men. The
suit is to annul the contract the war
department made with the enemy's
steamship line. The ground for the
suit is that the contract is against pub
lie policy and gives aid to an enemy of
the United States. Mr.. Lord sues for
500, 900 damages, but the real object
is to secure the annulment of the con-
tract

Gen. shafter Announces that the Number
of Men Who Surrendered was Larger
Than Gen. TOral Reported.
Washington, July 25.-The war de-
partmenr at midnight posted the fol-
lowing:
Santiago, July "a, 1S9S.-Lieut.
Miley has returned from San Luis and
Palma Seriano, where he went four
days ago to receive the surrender OF
Spanish troops. The number surren-
dered was larger than Gen. Toral re-
ported; 3,0O5 Spanish troops and $50
volunteer guerillas gave up their arms
and gave parole and have gone to
work; 5000 stands of arms were
turned in, loaded on ox-carts and
started to the railroad; Spanish
troops accompanied him to San Luis
and all were apparently greatly de-
lighted at prospects OF returning
home. They were on the verge Oh
starvation and / have to send them ra-
tions tomorrow. If the numbers keep
up as they have there will be about
24,OOO to ship away-nearly 1S'ooo
here, 5000 from San Luis, 5000 from
Guantanamo, and over 1000 at Sagua
and Baracoa. SHAfIEh'
Santiago de Cuba, July 25.-Gen.
Skaters refusal to permit the en-
trance of armed Cubans into Santiago
is an extremely wise measure, as IN
these excited days there might be
trouble. Unarmed persons, however,
are free to enter at all times. AS
soon as the Spanish soldiers have EN-
barked the Cubans will be allowed
to enter the city freely. ,
The first embarkation is expected
next Thursday, in accordance with a
contract made between the United
States government and the Spanish
Transatlantic Co. The United States
transport Santiago left yesterday for
Newport News with sick and
wounded.
The Spaniards have turned over
their cavalry horses. Only 143 were
surrendered. The others had been
killed for food for the army.
The report published in the United
States that there are 30 cases OF vel
low fever in the cavalry division
proves, on investigation, to be un-
founded. Capt. House requests that
the report be definitely denied.
The First, Third, Sixth and Ninth
volunteers, the First and Tenth reg
ular cavalry regiments, and six COM
panies of the Randolph light artillery
are encamped about two miles north
west of El Caney, at the base OF the
mountains. The camp is apparently
perfectly healthy as to location and
has a good water supply. The ground
is well drained.
Malarial fever is prevalent, but it al
ways yields to quinine treatment II
the course of four or five days. The
fact that the immunes in the regi'
ment have had this fever as freely as
the other men shows that the illness
is not yellow jack.
There have been no fatalities from
fever thus far, but so long as the
men are exposed to the hot sun dur
ing the day, the increasing rains anc
the heavy night dews, malaria will in
crease and our men grow worse. a
second attack is much more Difficult
to eradicate, especially in the case O
men exposed to the present condi
tions.
The cavalry is anxious to proceed tt
Porto Rico, but will be obliged to re
main here until the Spanish prisoner
of war have been transported t.
