the parlors when It was learned that Lieu tenant Hobson was to be at Long Beach Some one started popular subscription for testimonial to him and 1t was unani- mousy agreed that a sword would be the proper thing. In a short time $500 was in the hands of the treasurer.
 The committee appointed to meet the lieutenant in New York and escort him to Long Beach purchased the sword for s275. It is heavily laid with gold over handle and blade and interlined with en- bossed silver. It was presented to the lieutenant after dinner before the guests who crowded the parlors and ball rooms, and made the walls ring with their cheers. Hobson received the sword and said feel ingly:
 'It Is with the profoundest emotion that I receive and accept this beautiful token so spontaneously offered by this generous group. I cannot adequately express my appreciation and thanks. I have only to say that as long as my career shall con tinue this emblem shall be dearly cher ished and shall ever recall this occasion. When perhaps I am far away and occa- sion may arise to use this sword, l can not but feel that the thought of this oc- casion will inspire its use for my coun- try's honor.
 1T have to beg of you that you recall this simple, absolute fact-that the little incident at the front indicates nothing but only the status of your sailors afoat."

ANXIOUS TO TAKE
 AGGRESSIVE ACTION
Admiral Sampson Would Like to Do Some Warlike Work Along
 Cuba's South Coast.

PLAYA DEL ESTE, Aug. 6.-The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis has arrived here from Porto Rico under orders to assist in taking the United States troops home from Santiago Captain Goodrich thinks his ship Is too long to enter the harbor and he will remain here until the matter Is settled.

 Admiral Sampson expresses the hope that the peace negotiations will come to a quick conclusion.

Sampson's keen appreciation of the suf- ferings of the Cubans and his endeav- ors to afford them relief have been marked feature.
 The Potomac has recovered $10,0OO from the Infanta Maria Teresa, which was driven ashore at the time Admiral Ceryera attempted to escape from San tiago. The transport Resolute, with marines aboard, is still here. The shore Is deserted save for the cable opera tions and our marines who are on guard.
 The newspapers containing Admiral Sampson's report of the battle of July 3 arrived here last night. They were eagerly read throughout the fleet and the report created intense satisfaction. The universal confidence in and devo- ton to the admiral by the men under his command rendered this expression of feeling a foregone conclusion.
