THE WAR.
SECOND B%ompAnDMrNr OF THE SANTIAGO FoRrs.

SECOND DOmBAhDMEN1 Of Ihh Jan 1kh0O 4Oh1S.
Brave attempt to Block the Harlonr Mouth
A correspondent. writing on board the
despatch boat, off Santiago, on June 8, says:
The Spanish fleet is now a helpless cnpi
tive in Santiago Harbour, The narrow chan.
lei having been completely blocked by sunk
ing the Merrimuc across its entrance. 1t is
therefore now Impossible for the Spaniards
to emerge, and equally impossible for any
vessel to enter.
This result was accomplished through the
lieroism Of Lieutenant Richmond p. IIoLsou
and u crew Of seven mon.
The plan had been under Consideration for
several days, Rear Admiral Snmp.ou having
decided that it was impossible to take The
fleet into the harbour. The necessary pro
partitions were begun yesterday and by night
fall The craft was in readiness. A row of to-
pedoes had been arranged outside The hull OF
the Merrimac, 50 that Lieutenant HObson
could explode them f,om the bridge of the
vessel and thus ensure her rapid sinking.
AZ uightfall the various ships of The fleet
steamed past the doomed Merrimac, the men
Cheering Justify. Hundreds If men and
scores of officers had volunteered for the
duty. and Commander Miller, who had been
captain of the Mcrrimac, begged for rermis-
sion to 20 with her, but Lieutenant Hobson,
to whom the task had bceu entrusted wanted
only six men.
BY 10 o'clock all but the men who were
going upon the dangerous errn"d We're taken
off the ship, and the old collier took her pc.
si,ion near the New York to await the APP
pointed hour. It was an impressive night for
everybody in the fleet, as few expected that
the members of the little crew would see an
other sunrise.
At 3 o'clock in the morning the Merrimac
began to drift slowly towards the land, and
in half an hour she was lost to sight. Lieu
tenant HobSon's plan was to steam past MORO
Fort, swing crosswise athWart the channel,
drop anchors, open the valves, explode The
torpedoes on the port side, then leap over
board, preceded by the crew, and escape, If
possible, III a little liieboat which was towed
%astern, it being understood hat any who
might fail to reach The boat should attempt
TO save themselves by swimming ashore.
Scarce had the ship diSa ppeared when q
fash from the guns oil the Morro Fort pro-
claimed that sle mad been discovered. Other
batteries around the hal bour immediately
opened fire, but the ship went steadily on
and now lies sunk near the Estrella battery.

INSISTED ON A TRIAL.
Yet These Dining Car Thieves Had
Not a Particle Of Defence.

James Davis, black, and Daniel Mill
Ter, white, were tried in the Special SEES
sions Court yesterday afternoon for
breaking into a Pennsylvania Railroad
dining car in the Waldo avenue yard and
stealing 172 pieces of table silverware,
knives, forks, spoons, etc, valued at
$216.Se Why the defendants elected to
go to trial instead of pleading guilty IS
a mystery. Some of the sstolen property
was found in the possession Of Davis
when he was arrested by Policeman Fee
han, and Miller took the officers to a
cellar in Railroad avenue where the re-
mainder of it was hidden.
Miller turned States evidence. lie tes-
tilted that on May 16 he and Davis went
to the Waldo avenue yard and broke into
the dining car. Davis smashed a window
and Miller climbed into the car. Miller
then opened the door and admitted Davis.
The latter had been employed as an
extra cook on the dining cars and knew
where the silver was kept. He put the
silver in a bag which was held by Mil
Ter.
Detective Peter Morris testified that in
the last year the company has been rob-
bed of $1,000 worth of silver. the de-
PENDANTS were convicted. Davis was SEN
fenced to State Prison for three years
and Miller for two years n a half.

DOCTORS DISAGREE.
Arlitz and Stack of Hoboken
Scrap Over Title and
Work.

There is a big light between the two
city physicians of Hoboken. In former
years one city physician did the work.
This year the Council appointed two
citv physicians, Drs. Arlitz Stack.
DR.. Arlitz has been practicing for a num-
Der of years, while DR.. Stack has only
been practicing for a short time. Dr.
Stack is a son of Doorman Maurice
stack. one of the three policemen who
were forcibly retired by the Pagan admin
istration, and the appointment OF DT.
Stack was a sort of a balm for the Wounu-
ed feelings of his father
The two city physicians got along ann
cably enough until they came TO divide
the work. DR.. Arlitz wanted to treat al
the police accident cases n let Dr.
addition to this, DR.. Arlitz wanted to be
styled Police Surgeon: Then came g
clash. DR.. Stack said that he would
divide all the work but that he would not
be confined to the Poormaster's cases.
The two doctors had some words at Police
HEADQUARTERS this morning, and now they
do not speak as they pass by.
Cards were printed and distributed des-
ignating DIR. Arlitz as Police Surgeon and
Dr.. Stack as City Physician. II Is not
eli. which has the sole right 10 do 50,
did not. DR.. Stack says the cards were
printed without his knowledge. AT any
rate. DIR. Stacks friends went about tear
ing down the cards.
Both City Physicians are now at dag
gers points. DR.. Stack insists that he
has the right to treat all police and ac-
cident cases, and spends a great deal of
his time in the vicinity of Police Head
quarters. Unless the question is amicably
settled at an early d~afesHoboken's sick is
liable to suffer, as both physicians are
anxious to treat only police cases.

AFTER PIG IRON THIEVES.
Captain Nugent and Detective
Bennett Have a Time
in the Mud.

CAPTAIN Nugent of the Ocean avenue
station and Detective Bennett had an ex-
citing time last evening in the mud al
Caven Point and around the piers OF the
NATIONAL Storage Company at Black Tom.
About nine o'clock last evening a tele-
phone message was received at the station
house saying that a gang of thieves were
stealing pig iron from one of the docks at
Black Tom and that it was being carted
away in 4 wagon. The patrol wagon was
called and Captain Nugent and Detective
Bennett rode to the supposed scene OF the
robbery.
When the patrol wagon reached the 1901
of Ciaremont avenue the Captain and
Detective alighted and the wagon was
sent home. The officers of the law then
started in to investigate and found that
the wagon had left Caven Point and had
been driven rapidly through Pacific ave-
nue. to Lafayette and dow to Grand
street. Captain Nugent and Bennett had
a chase of half a mile through the mud
but no trace of the wagon or thieves
could be found. The officers returned to
the station house covered with mud and
in no joking mood. This is the third or
fourth time that attempts have been
made to steal pig iron from the docks n
freight cars at Black Tom. About six
months ago a Waterman discovered a
couple of thieves making way with pig
iron in a row boat. He shouted at the
men to stop but one escaped in the boat
under cover of kne and the other
fell overheard. The Waterman saw the
thief fall into the water and waited
around at the end of the dock for nearly
two hours until it became light enough
to see. He then discovered the fellow IN
the water under the dock. Pointing a
revolver at him he commanded him to
come out, which he did with the assist
ance of the Waterman, being thoroughly
exhausted from being in the water so
long. This thief was sent to States
prison by Judge Hudspeth.
