SAVING SPANISH CRUISERS
HoBsoN WISHES TO TRY IT.
Ne Thinks That the Colon and Viz
cnya Cnn lie Raised md D"ched
for Less Than IA Million Dollars,
and Desires to Head IA WreckinE
Company.

Washington. oct. 3l.-Naval Construct
or Hobson arrived in this city saturday.
lie appeared before the board of naval
chiefs for the purpose OF explaining the
condition of the Spanish ships wrecked
off the coast OF Santiago and the progress
and prospects OF efforts which are making
for their recovery 1t is said over mill
lion dollars will be required to continue
the operations.
Constructor Hobson was with the board
all the afternoon and gave great deal
of detailed information As to the condition
of the wrecks. lie was certain it was
useless TO continue the wrecking company
any longer. and that conditions did not
permit the $500 per day paid them.
Constructor Hobson said that in his
opinion the Colon and Nizcaya could be
raised and brought to dry docks at New
York or Norfolk at a cost of S5OOO0O
for one and 100000 for the other. and
possibly they could be brought in ion
100000 each. The government would
Of course, take the risk OF spending 5000
600 on each OF the vessels and in the
end might find it was unable to raise
them.
Mr. HobsOn wanted to be placed at the
head of wrecking company which he
should organize and be- authorized to eN.
pend 100000 OF 100000 on the two yes
sells He said the hull of the Nizcaya WAS
intact and proposed TO build a coflerlan
around her and bring her to the surface
after making repairs necessary to float
her. Mr.. Hobson also gave the bureau
chiefs information regarding the Reina
Mercedes and the NIcrrimc. The former
could be easily raised, he believed, foi
it was apparent that she had been only
scuttled. The Meirimac could be raisct
and ne said she must be removed from tn,
mouth of the harbor.
