Hobson and His Men.

WITH THE FLEET OFF SANTIAGO
DE CUBA, June 9.-To appreciate the
great danger Of the Merrimac expe-
dition, the character of the defenses
of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba
must be known. The entrance TO
the broad and deep harbor on which
the city faces is a narrow chahnel
about a mile long, and each side
guarded by hill standing almost
perpendicularll to height of $50 feet,
At one point the neck of this ap-
proach is less than 300 feet wide and
only 81 fathoms deep. so that to
enter ships must go in one at time.
On hill on the eastern side of the
harbor is Moro castle, with five "a
Founders and two modern rapid-fre
guns, On the western hill two bat
teries With modern guns are located.
At tho base of Moro castle are several
guns loaded with sharpnel to. sweep
the face Of the water, and opposite is
similar battery.
Going around the first curve of the
narrow enterance Cayosmith an Iis-
land, is found facing down the harbor,
with battery of moderate guns. In
the narrow neck of the passage are
three rows of mines, each Is feet apart,
and the mines 16 in a row.
WThe Reina Mercedes lies at the foot
of Cayosmith, partly dismautled, but
having her four torpedo tu res loaded
and facing down the channel. About
half way up the. channel on: the
eastern bank is the Erstella, with sew
eral smooth bore guns, and this was
the menacing hole of death into which
Lieutenant Hobson and his men ven
tured with the Merrimac.

Incident Growing Out of His
Letter to Canalejas Con- ~
: .sidered Settled.
His Resignation Accepted by
Spain Before His Recall ~,
Was Requested.
President Shows Little Con-
corn, and Will Not De-
mand Apology.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l2.-The personal
inoident growing out of the publication
of Senior Dupuy de Lome's letter to
Senior Canalejas may be regarded a.
settled. This has been brought about
by the short oablegram sent by Minister
Woodford from Madrid in which he
states that the minister had resigned
and his resignation had been accepted
before he (Mr. Woodtord) presenaed
the request of the United States that
he be recalled. The officials here 1esl
IN interest in learning the details Of the
happenings in Madrid and are waiting
for Mr.. Woodford's promised full re.
port. But unless this should contain
some statement that is not now ex-
pected, there is no disposition on the
part of the government to pro,ract the
closing OF
This Unpleasant Incident
and it is not expected that anything in
the nature of demand tor an apology
will be made. Ii graceful disclaimer
should come it will be taken in tho
spirit in which it is made; otherwise
the matter will be dropped and the re-
lations between the state department
and the Spanish legation will run
smoothly once moro through the me-
dunn OF Senior Dubosc, the first secre'
tary and now charge d'atfaires.
II can be said for the president that
he shows little personal concern in the
matter as it stands aud is not disposed
to pursue Mr.. de LONE in any personal
spirit, and with this spirit in the head
of The administration the end OF the
affair may be said to have been reached.
Charge d'A fairs Assumes His Duties.
AS the representative of Spain, Juan
Dubosc called at the state department
and presented in writing the notl1ica-
ton OF the Spanish government tuat
the resignation of Senior Eur que Du-
puy de Lone had been accepted, and
that Senior Dubosc was authorized to
represent the government as charge
d'atfalres ad interim.
The notification was merely formal,
giving the facts OF transfer without
mention of the incident leading up to it.
Having assumed his duties, Mr.. Dubosc
took occasion to pay a call OF respect to
the state department authorities. He
was not accompanied by Senior de LONE.
VINO with this official act becomes a
private citizen OF Spain, temporarily
soiourninR in this country.
