WILL ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE COLON

New York. July 25.-Lieutenant Hob
son announced to-day that the Merritt
& Chapman Wrecking and Derrick Co.
had consented to undertake the recov-
cry of the Cristobol Colon. and was
making every effort to begin the work

THE difficulty Of saving the Colon"

her stern is clear Of water. which fills
her whole interior. Her sea valves and

she lies is exceedingly shelving. form
ing a part, in fact, of the mountain
which there rises out of the sea. In
short, all the conditions are present
which render the righting and raising
OF the ship an engineering feat Of large
proportions. At the same time il is
simple and quite feasible. No new ap-
pliances are needed: nothing TO be in
vented. II is simply a question Of get
ting TO the spot in time with the ac-
cepted means and methods on a suffi-
cient scale.
As TO the plan for raising the Colon,

accompanied by three paymasters,
leave New York tomorrow for Santi-

A telegram has been received from
Shafter, requesting that gold and paper
be sent to Santiago. as the tradesmen
refuse to accept American silver dol
lars at par value, and rate them at
so cents on the dollar.
Considerable Indignation is expressed
that American money is discounted.
and the suggos fun mas been made %
the secretary Of war that any trades
man who refuses to accept United
States money of any kind at 100 cents
on the dollar should be removed from
the territory over which the American
flag floats. 1t is not known that any
orders will be sent to Shafter on the
subject.
The suppostion is that the refusal
to accept silver dollars is the result %
long use of silver i'm Mexico and South
American countries. which has never
passed for more than half its face
value.

lowed section, and as fast as the troops

grounds. where they pitched dog tents
and made themselves comfortable.
General Haines brigade is composed
of the Sd Illinois. Colonel Benton: 4th
Ohio. Colonel Colt. and the 4th Penn
sylvania. Colonel Caz. which arrived in
the order named. The regiments ar
rived in battalions of three trains each.

Copyright 1898 by Associated Press.
Santiago de Cuba, July 25.-Every-
thing here is peaceful. The 1000 Span
ish soldiers at Guantanamo lay down
their arms to-day The 1850 men from
Palma Soriano, San Luis and Longo
surrendered yesterday to Lieutenant
Miley, and to-day pack trains with
provisions were sent to them.
The only others included in the ca
pitulation are the 1000 at Baracoa and
1000 at Sagua. They have not yet been
turned over, but they are now in Cen
eral Garcia's vicinity. He is at Jiguany
to-day and reached there without en-
countering any Spaniards. General
Shafter authorized an absolute contra
diction of the report that Garcia en-
countered a force of Spaniards who
were returning to Santiago to surrender
and was defeated by them. Colonel
Ezra p. Ewers of the 9th infantry. act
ing for General Shafter, will receive the
formal surrender of Guantanamo.
Yesterday General Shafter released
40 Cubans who had been confined in the
local Jail on political charges. Indeed.
some of them were confined without
charges of any kind others on the most
trivial preteXts, and yet others solely
because of sympathy with the insurg-
ent cause. The Jail is still filled with
many whose crimes and sentences are
not OH record ana HDSOluIelN unknown
so far as has been yet ascertained. A
general investigation has been ordered
Immediately.
American newspapers which have ar
rived here contain articles written ap-
parently under the misapprehension of
the facts regarding the conduct of the
campaign, and the dictation of the
terms of surrender. General Miles was
here simply as a visitor and advisor.
In his official capacity he had nothing
TO do with the terms of the capitula-
tion. the entire credit for which belongs
to General Shafter, who on July 10. re-
ceived the following dispatch from
Washington of that date:
THE secretary of war directs me to
inform you that General Miles left here
at 10:40 last night for Santiago, but
with instructions which do not in any
manner supersede you as the command
er of the United States in the field at
Santiago as long as you are able for
duty"
