Washington, June 4.-From early morn
ing, when the first newspaper appeared
on the street containing the brief state
ment of the sinking of the Merrimac in
Santiago harbor. the officials of the navy
department awaited with intense interest

the story came, lacking in detail, it is
true, but giving in rough outlines a
sketch Of American heroism that will live
through generations to come. There is no
doubt that the name Hobson is destined
to be bracketed with that OF Gushing
