fluttered in the breeze, and men cheered
themselves hoarse. Whistles on half
dozen vessels in the vicinity notified Hob
sons band that further honors were
awaiting them on the water even while
they were receiving the plaudits of the
American forces on land
Unique and inspiring was the welcome
given to the heroes of the Merrimac. En-
thusiasm born Of joy over their safety
and pride in what they did pervaded the
American forces on land and sea. Their
enthusiasm was given full vent and there
resulted a patriotic scene to witness
which was well worth all the hardships
and exposures it had cost those present.
News came by the military telegraph
line shortly before o'clock this after
noon that Assistant Naval Constructor
Hobson and his men had been transferred
to the Americans and that they were
entering Gen. Wheeler's camp. Presently
bands were playing officers AMI men were
Shouting for joy. flags were flying. men
were throwing their hats high in the air
and army regulations were being cast to
the winds. Our officers made no attempt
to restrain their men but such an at
tempt would have been useless When
Hobson appeared within the lines at
o'clock the band play cd when Johnny

asm of our men knew no bounds. Never
did heroes have a more inspiring recep-

the lines from Santiago to Siboney was

their efforts to do the greatest honor to

All were well dressed, having been pro-
vided with new uniforms When Hob
son and his men arrived at Siboney they
found the flagship New York lying a
short distance out. waiting to take them
on board. A boat from the flagship came
ashore and the dispatch boats il the Vi

Of u.s. He seemed to think he could not
do too much for u.s.
1 asked Mr.. Hobson about the conf1ne-
ment of himself and his men in Moro,
and inquired particularly as to whether
they were alarmed during the lombard
ments of Santiagos defenses by the
American fleet
I'VE were confined in Moro castle but
four days, MY Hobson replied During
that time we were not disturbed in any
way. In fact at no time were we in
danger, because it happened that the fleet
did all of its bombarding either before
we were taken to MORO or after we had
left there
''You were imprisoned in the city itself
after the first four days, then?"
mo. From MORO we went on board
the Reina Mercedes, which the Spanish
were using as a hospital ship. During
the firing on Friday many windows of
the ship were broken by American bullets,
but no one was hurt.
"How about your hopes and fears dur
irg imprisonment? Did you expect to go
aboard an American vessel againY'
This question brought a smile to Hob
sons face He allowed his memory TO
drift back over the events of the pre-
ceding weeks. He did not answer for
moment

said presently, "as were the ether men

Mr. Iobson again referred feelingly to
the mann er in which he and his men had
been tire ated while they were prisoners.

to the New York. Whistles blew and
men cheered
The whole ships company fairly went
wild when Hobson went aboard. They re-
called the early morning scene of the day
the Merrimac was sunk, when Hobson,
absolutely fearless and full of determine
ton, had gone down the ladder to take
charge of the Merrimac on her final
cruise. None of the men on the New
York ever expected to see him again
When Hobson reached the deck of the
flagship one of the first to greet him
was Admiral Sampson Their meeting
was most affecting. The American ad-
miral who had at once been struck by
the boldness of Hobsons plan when the
assistant naval constructor first proposed
to sink the Merrimac, displayed father
interest in the returning hero. He larry
embraced Hobson, giving him a welcome
the sincerity and pleasure of which could
not be mistaken. Hardly less delighted
over Hobson's safe return were Capt.
Chadwick and his officers.
Tells of His Imprisonment.
After he had been showrred with con-
gratulations and compliments by the men
on the flagship, L asked Mr.. Hobson about
his experience on the Merrimac and while
he was Spanish prisoner.
II must be excused from speaking
about the Merrimac for the present, he
reried. 81 must. of course first make
my official report to Admiral Sampson
But really Hobson added modestly
what we did was not much of feat"
Were you surprised at your reception
by Admiral Cervera?' [ asked.

Conferences Held.

Washington. March 2s.-The custo-
mary activity which prevailed i'm AL
branches Of the war and navy depart
ments for the past month was appar-
ent again to-day. Particularly was this
the case in the latter. where Secretary
Long and Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt were on hand holding conferences
with bureau chiefs and a number of
visitors who had business of import
ance. Among the public men who saw
Secretary Long was Senator Frye of
Maine.
AT 10 o'clock the secretary left the
department for the white house. in
tending not to return until . o'clock.
There was no additional information
at the department regarding the loca-
ton of the Spanish torpedo boat fio-
tilla now on its way to Puerto Rico
from the Canaries, excepting that IL
was advancing steadily. The highest
naval authorities continue to say this
movement is the most formidable
menace TO the ships of u navy that
has vet occurred.
