Letter Written by Secretary Long TO
NnXaI Constructor HObsOn.

Naval Constructor HObsOn.
NEW YORK, June PA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Secretary CT
the Navy Long sent to Assistant Naval
Constructor r. p. Hobson, in care of the
comma nder-n- chief of the North Atlantic
squadron, an inspiring letter, commencing
him for the extraordinary heroism he dls-
played in sinking the collier Merrimac In the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba. The letter was
written shortly after the secretary had rec
commended to the President that Mr. Hob
son be advanced ten numbers in his corps,
but the recommendation was not carried out
for the reason that Representative Pearson
the uncle of the young hero, requested that
action be delayed until Mr. Hobson could
be communicated with. A bill is now pend
ing in Congress for the transfer of Mr. Hob
son to the line, with the rank of lieutenant
commander The secretary's letter to Mr..
Hobson is dated June 20, and begins:

ALL THE BRAVE MEN ARE WELL
NOW CONFINED IN SANTIAGO CITY,
FOUR MILES FROM Ell MORO.
Letter of Commentator from Secre-
r. HObsOn and Victor Blue.

WASHINGTON. June 24.-The Navy De-
partment to-day received the following ca
blegram:
playa del Este, June 24-From a flag
of truce / learned to-day that Lieutenant
Hobson and his companions are all well.
T a aTe c6 rnm M6r IN the city
1t was with great satisfaction the Navy
Department received Simpsons statement
that Hobson and his men are well and are
not in the line of fire. 1t was also noted
that Sampson finds no difficulty in having
his flag of truce respected, which is graft
flying in view of the statement coming from
Havana some days ago that there was to
be lapse into barbarism through the re-
fusal of the Spaniards to recognize flags of
truce. The admrals dispatch lifted a
weight of anxiety as to the condition of
this brave band of heroes, for since the re-
cent bombardment. in which Moro suffered
somewhat, there has been uncertainty as
to whether Hobson and his men were dead
or alive although it has never been seri-
ously believed the Spaniards would expose
these men to such dangers as to lead to
their death. The dispatch was further re-
assuring in that it made clear that Admiral
Simpsons assault on the narbor entrance
to which MORO is the main defense, would
not be crippled by having the fire kept
away from that fertilization in order TO
protect Hobson. 1t leaves the result of such
an attack upon the usual conditions of war,
and not to that unusual and cruel device,
which it was feared had been resorted to,
of preserving Moro by exposing Hobson.
This action coupled with the report of the
naval surgeons that our dead marines were
not mutilated, conveys. a sense of relief to
the authorities here, as they feel that the
warfare now about to eliminate in bloody
fighting will be at least mitigated by those
humane rules which govern the action OF
modern armies in the field.

The Kaiser VIII Not Interfere with
Americans at Manila.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-4The Associated
Press is able to state on authority that per-
mission. to land marines or troops at Ma
Mia has not been sought by the German
ambassador here of the State Department,
nor has such permission been granted. In
fact, there have been no overtures ex-
changed on the subject. 1t can be stated
positively that since the arrival of Admiral
Diedrich with German war ships at Manila
no instructions whatever relating to the
Manila situation have been sent from the
German government Office to the German
ambassador at Washington, nor has the
subject assumed phase where instructions
of any kind have passed during the past
three weeks. This disposes of various re-
ports based on the fact that DR.. Won Holle-
ben, the German ambassador, called on the
secretary of state yesterday, that being the
regular diplomatic day. 1hiS statement is
made from authoritative sources to show
that no basis exists for the story that Mr..
Won Holleben requested and secured per-
mission for the landing of German marines
at Manila to protect the German consulate.
1t is said at the Navy Department that
Admiral Dewey is the supreme authority at
Manila. If troops, marines or sailors are
landed at that place from any neutral men
of-war it will be with his permission. 1t is
not questioned here that nation may prop
erly seek such permission when 1t is deemed
essential to protect its citizens, its con-
Suldl6S ana It's lHleT6SlS, Dul IL is usual III
such cases for the neutral commander to
secure the permission of the investing adj
miral if it is possible to prefer the request.
No such landing by any possibility could be
properly construed into the requirement of
a right to remain IN possession of any ter
ritory in the Philippines, and our govern
ment does not for moment contemplate
that any of the European powers would at
tempt to set up any such claim, which
would be resisted to the full extent of our
military and naval power.
At the Cabinet meeting to-day it was
stated that Germany has no intention, pres
ent or prospective, of interfering in any way
with the policy or plans of the United States
in regard to the occupation of the islands.
It's attitude has been and will continue to
be one of strict neutrality This statement,
coming from high official sources. is accept
ed by the government in good faith, and is
regarded as final and conclusive. No fur
Their attention will be paid by this govern
ment to any reports to the contrary, which
are being constantly sent out, it is believed,
in the interests of Spain. In the official re-
ports received from Admiral Dewey at Ma
Mia there never has been an intimation that
Germany or any other nation, by its naval
representatives had ever shown the least
disposition to overstep the line of strict neu-
trality, nor has there been any reason to
believe that their sympathies were strongly
with the Spaniards in the present struggle.
