 Kingston June 4.-Particulars re- ceived here of the sinking of the old collier Merrimac yesterday morning show it to have been one of the most daring deeds of the war. When Admiral Sampson called for volunteers to go to almost certain death, 1000 men offered them selves. Lieutenant HObson and six men were chosen and at 8 a. m. on Friday morning the Merrimac un- der her own steam, entered the channel under a terrific Spanish fire. The vessel was rlddled with but she anchored and swung around. Lieutenent Hobson then set of torpedo with electric 
 There was an explosion, the Mer- rimac sank, the channel was closed and apparently Admiia al Ceryera will be unable to escape. Hobson and the EeTOic crew of the Merrimac were saved in the following manner: Unable after the sinking of their vessel to make their way back through the storm and shell, they rowed into the harbor to the Span ish 1agshIp, and were taken on board unharmed. The Spanish Ad miral, under a flag of truce, on Fri day, sent word to the American ad- miral that he offered to exchange prisoners, adding that in the mean while Hobson and his party would be treated with the greatest kind ness.
 Lieut. Hobson appears to have carried out his plans to the smallest . details, except as regards the method of escaping. The rowboat in which the crew were to attempt to escape was either blown up or shot to pieces, for Lieutenant Hob . son and his men drifted ashore on an old catamaran, which was slung over the ships side at the last mos ment as an extra precautiou.
 Captain Ovideo, Admiral Ceryera's chief of staff, who boarded the New York under flag truce, does not give further details of the capture. | The bravery eff the Americans evidently excited as much admira- ton among the Span;ards ss among the American feet. The prisoners will be perfectly safe and probably well treated while they remain in Morro castle.
 Washington, June 6.-The de- struction of the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror has been off cially confirmed.
