his attempt to save the vessel, he would appeal to the people for popular sub- scription Of S500,000 to carry on the work.
 The point at which the wrecked cru iser is lying is much exposed, and work on her can only be carried on in good weather. It is this circumstance that has caused the abandonment of the plan of saving her by other experts.
 Eighty men went to the scene of the wreck to arrange the preliminaries for the work. Lieutenant Hobson is con- fined to h.s bed by slight attack of fever and cannot personally superin- tend the operations for a day or so.
 The work on the Maria Teresa is rapidly, and she will soon be in first class shape. Hobson says that the Colon is worth two Maria Teresas. He would not feel put out if. after spending $50,000 trying to raise her, she broke in two. The game, however. is worth the candle.

ROBSON WON'T GIVE up.
Will Try to Save inc Colon in Spite of
 Orders.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 9-Naval Constructor Hobson decided to con- tinue his efforts to save the wrecked Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon in spite of the decision of the navy de partment to give the job up. He re- ceived new!: of the navy departments decision il the matter from Commo- dore Watson, who arrived at Santiago on the Scorpion from Guantanamo.
 Hobson immediately starred for the scene Of the wreck, and meeting the wrecking tug Senior, which he sent to the wreck the day before, returning pursuant to Commodore Watson's or der, started it back again. Hobson told Commodore Watson that he would take the responsibility for his action. He sent urgent dispatches to the navy department asking fer permission to immediately resume work.
 He says that the difficulty about the raising of the Colon is one of engineer ing. The vessed is lying on her beam ends on steep slope. She will have to be lifted bodily out of this position. Hobson says tha, the task can be ac- complished by the use of air bags and of compressed air to force the water out of the hull. The Colon has slid a little further seaward since she was run ashore by the fleeing Spaniards, but she has not been harmed by the action of the wind or waves.
 MT. Hobson estimates the Colon's value at $3,G00,000 He thinks it would be disgTaceful to give up the attempt to save her now. He said that if the government did not back him up in
