 164 Persons Saved

BosToN, July 9.-The Plant line steamer Halifax has arrived here hay ing on board l62 survivors of the French line steamer La Bourgogne, which was sunk in collision with the ship Cromartyshirs, off Sable island, last Monday.

Of the saved 12 were second class, 47 steerage and the remaining 10s were members of tho crew. The correspondent of the Associated press who took passage on the Halifax for the purpose of learning from the sur vivors more of the details of the disas- ter than had been possible in the short time between their arrival at Halifax and their departure for New York. during the trip to Boston had oppor- tunity to come in contact with very many of those who escaped. Their stories of experience were thrilling, and many of them gave horrifying de- tails of brutality. if not of murder, possibly never equaled in the history of the merchant marine.

SINKING OF THE MERRIMAC.
Lieat. Hobson Gives an Interesting Account of His Experience in Performing
 His Daring Act.

NEW YORK July 9.-A dispatch to the New York Herald from off Santi- ago says that a correspondent saw Lieut.. Hobson after he had made his report to Admiral Sampson, and he gave the following account of his ex- ploit:
 It was about three o'clock in the morning when the Merrimac entered the narrow chan nel and steamed in under the guns of Morro castle It was so dark that we could scarcely see the headland. We had planned to drop our starboard anchor at certain point to the right of the channel reverse our engines and then swing the Mer- rimac around. sinking her directly across the channel This plan was adhered to, but cir cumstances rendered it's execution impossi- ble When the Merrimac poked her nose into the channel troubles commenced. The deadly silence was broken by the wash of a small boat approaching from the shore I made her out to be picket boat She ran close up under the stern of the Merrimac and fired several shots from what seemed to be three-pounder guns. The Merrimac's rudder was carried away by this fire. That is why the collier was not sunk across the channel
 We did not discover the loss of the rudder until Murphy cast anchor. We then found that the Merrimac would not answer to the helm ana were compelled to make the best of the situation The run up the channel was very exciting. The picket boat had given the alarm and in moment the guns of the Vizcaya. tho Almirante Oquendo and of the shore batteries were turned upon us Submarine mines and torpedoes were also exploded all about us, add ing to the excitement The mines did no dam age. although we could hear rumDlings and could feel the ship tremble
 We were running without lights and only tho darkness saved us from utter destruction When tho ship was in the desired position and we found that the rudder was gone. I called the men on deck While they were launching the catamaran touched on the explosives At the samo moment two torpedoes. fired by the Reina Mercedes struck the Merrimac amidships I cannot say whether our owr explosives the Spanish torpedoes did the work. but the Merrimao was lifted out of the water and almost rent asunder. As she settled down we scrambled overheard and cut away the catamaran- great cheer went up from the forts and warships as the hull of the collier foundered, the Spaniards thinking the Merrimac was an American warship.
 We attempted to get out of tho harbor on the catamaran, but strong tide was running and daylight found us still struggling in tho water Then. for the first time. the Spaniards saw us, and @ boat from the Reina Mercedes picked us up We were taken aboard and later sent to Morro castle.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Gen. Shaf- ter's available force to-day after count ing all endorsements, and deducting the dead, sick and wounded, is @. $50 fighting men, according to military estimates. This is based on an esti- mate of l6.0O0 men in Gen. Shafter's original expedition and about 10. 900 in various expeditions which have gone since then, making in all 26,000 men. Against this, however must be de- ducted the casualties in the fighting thus far, and also the men confined to the hospital by sickness. The deduc- tion is roughly estimated at 5000, leaving about 1000 men available as the fighting force of the American army.
