that the total production OF lead in the
United States from all sources. during the
past six months Of 1893, was 156,113 net

Washington, June 6.-Pendlng the ar
rival of American troops, SIMPSONS
men-of-war will perform the monoto-
nous but highly important work of
blOckadng Santiago de Cuba. The
monotony may be occasionally reliev-
ed by the destruction of any new bat
teries that the Spaniards attempt to
erect or by the discharge of shells at
any workmen who may try to remove
the wreck of the Merrimac.
There is little prospect that the ar
morclads under Rear Admiral Samp-
sons command will be able to try their
mettle against the Spanish armored
cruisers, By sinking the collier Mer-
rimac in the harbor, Rear Admiral
Sampson closed the channel so etfec-
tually as not only to prevent the es-
cape Of Admiral Cervera, but the in
gress of his own ships.
1t ia desired by the officials that
there shall be as little loss of life as
possible and for phs reason it is hoped
that Admiral Cervera will surrender as
soon as he can honorably do so.

details of the sinking of the Merrlmac
in the harbor of Santiago, brought
here by dispatch boat, show that the
exploit of Naval Instructor Hobson
and his men was one Of the most he
rolc in the history of naval warfare.
Hobson and his brave men deflantly
entered the mouth of the harbor while
strong light was steraklng in the east
ern horizon. This enabled the Span
iards to discover them before their
hazardous journey was more than
barely begun, and subjected the pluciy

age displayed by the Merrimac's men

CcVera had received Hobson and his
fellow heroes with such distinguished
consideration. For the time being it
is believed that the Spanish admiral
allowed his regard for a glorious naval
achievement to overlap his chagrin AZ
having had the possibility of escape
from the fleet of the United States
surely cut off.
