WENT AROUND THE WRECK.

Cruiser Vesuvius Demonstrates Santiago
Harbor Is Not Blocked.
HEw YORK, June 2S.-A dispatch to
The Herald from Port Artonio, says:
II has remained for the staunch dyna.
mite cruiser. the Vesuvius. to demon.
strate that the entrance to Santiago
harbor was not completely blocked by
the sinking of the Merrimac.
While poking her nose about the en-.
trance to the harbor few nights ago,
the Vesuvius discovered ample room in
which to pass the wreck. She went in,
made observations along the inner har-
Dor and then came back to sea, getting
around the wrecked collier without diff.
iculty.
This rather surprising information
came out in the course Of converse.
tion in which Admiral Sampson and
Captain Chadwick discussed the situa.
tion from a naval standpoint.
Went IN Too Far.
At length Captain Chadwick made
the surprising statement that 1t was
question whether the Merrimac had
OcCu pIOpcAAy suuA lac Su1A 40 AONASA
Lieutenant Hobson and his plucky men
had taken the vessel too far into the
harbor. before sinking her.
AS the collier now lies, it is said, the
channel is comparatively free Of OBJ.
| struction. Such is the opinion Of men
on the Vesuvius. and their opinion Is
based on experience. Not only did the
dynamite cruiser pass the wreck while
reconnoitering about the outer forts the
other night, but it gave to Admiral
Sampson news which resulted In a
closer examination Of the wreck as ii
now lies.
1t has been ascertained that two bat
tleships can enter the harbor abreast
one passing to the right and the latter
to the left of the Merrlmac wreck
This is an opportunity which will be o.
great advantage to Admiral Sampson
when the tinai attack on Santiago be
gins.
Lieutenant Hobson and his men still
tsre in communication with the fleet
There is little prospect that they vii
be exchanged before the attack on San
tiago is made.
