captiveS to facilitate the work of ex-
I change. This is likely to occupy more
time than was originally expected be-
cause of the difficulty of communicating
With the Spanish admiral at Santiago.
The exchange effected at Havana was
conducted through the British consul gem
| eral, Mr.. Gollan, with the aid of the ex-
| listing cable, but it is not likely that there
| Is now any cable communication with
| Santiago, so the preliminaries must be
| arranged directly through Admiral Samp-
| son, time-consuming operation, as he
| can only be reached through the agency
| of dispatch boats from Jamaica and
] Hayti
| The War Department officials were
| themselves surprised at the number of
| Spanish officers held captive at Fort Nc
\ Pherson, and it will be seen that there Is
| no lack of material as was at first feared
| for equal exchange. Two officers have
| already been exchanged, namely, Col
| Vincente de Cortijo, of the Third cavalry
| of Principe, and Surgeon Major Isidro
Garcia Julian. Sanitary corps.

| THE NAVAL LIST

| 1t is apparent to the Department Of
| ficialS that the call for volunteers did not
| extend beyond the two ships, New York
| and Merrimac, as all the men named be-
! long to those two vessels.
| GREAT ADMIRATION
| is expressed at the Department at the
| cool pluck and discretion shown by the
| young cadet, George w. Powell who tool,
| command of the New York's steam launch
| and lay under the batteries for many
hours until he was satisfied from his own
| observation that the Merrimac had gone
down before he returned to the flagship
1t Is felt that his fate involved a display
Of quite as much courage as was shown
by the Merrimac crew. and he is likely tc
profit by it. Young Powell was known as
"one of Hobson's chickens" Wher
| Hobson joined the squadron he secured
permission from the authorities to take
| with him three young naval cadets from
the academy at Annapolis. They were in
| cluded in his own class of naval cadets
! at the academy, and he wished to take
| them with him to supplement Theoretical
| effect Of explosives on ships. Powell wa:
| appointed to the academy from New Yorl
| in 1893.
Commander Hawley has just returned
to the Navy Department to consult Of
ficials before proceeding on another
TOUR OF THE LAKE PORTS
| in search of sailors for the navy. The
| commander has been remarkably success
full in his quest and has just left one hun
| dred and fifty men at Norfolk, whom hi
| had picked up in Chicago and vicinity
mostly naval reserve men. The officer
| speaks in the highest terms of the char
| acter of the men he has secured and o.
the unhesitating response of the Chicago
militiamen to the governments call with
out stopping to stipulate for preference
| for appointments as petty officers HI
| will proceed from Washington to Detroit
and thence to Saginaw, Mich, where h.
will be met by Chief Engineer Webster
| and a surgeon, the remainder of the board
| who are at work in thae section The
| next batch of recruits will be taken tt
| Pensacola, Fla, to be thoroughly drilled
before being sent aboard ships
