Washington, June 5.-The belief Is
growing in the best informed govern

anxious to make peace. and that even
now she is seeking favorable oppor-

ton. Numerous evidences of this have
come to the attention of the authorities
here, but up to this time no actual
move has been made toward ascertain
ing on what basis the United States

was extingushed in the sea. Almost
at the same moment dawn broke in the
east as quietly as night had fallen the
previous evening. To the eastward.

He has missed his chance" was the
remark. There the collier lay, spread
in the southern brilliancy. Morro's
deep red walls showed against the blue
hills and opal clouds.
Suddenly a dazzling flash, like a
heliograph ray. leaped from the bat
tlement. followed by u slow spreading
cloud OF white smoke. There was no
report. but far up the coast a white Jet
of spray leaped from the sea. The
battlemcnts were waking up. Glasses
were trained where the Merrimac had
been. She was not there. The Vixen
had been mistaken for her during the
morning light.
Glasses swept the horizon in a
search for the Merrimac. She was no.

lowing smoke rose from point TO point
where the harbor batteries were To-
Gated. The Spaniards were awake sure
enough and busy, like an upset hive.

San Francisco. June 5.-A naval ON
Ger who was a classmate of Lieutenant
Hobson. the hero Of Santiago. spoke
tonight of the young officer as follows:
When Hobson was i'm his fourth class
year an order was issued that cadets
in authority should be as careful in re-
porting their own classmates as in the
performance of any other duty. Hob
son was leader of a section. and re-
ported some of the members for some
breach of discipline. Thereupon the
class put Hobson in coventry that ID.
he was ostracised. none OF his class
speaking to him or having anything to
do with him. Hobson then buckled
right down to his books. and by the
end Of his second class year was at the
head OF his class. Then they decided
to revise their Judgment. but Hobson
said:
No. gentlemen. you have got on with
out me these three years. and I'll man.
age TO worry along without you for the
remaining year
And he did. For four years this
young man had not a social associate
among any of the cadets at the acad-
emy. He never spoke 10 a cadet with.
out addressing him as Mr. and In
sisted on the same treatment. In his
first class year he was four striper.s
or the cadet in command of the batfal-
ion. and never before had there been .
better drilled or more efficient lot Of ca
diets.
He was a small man physically. and
the resort to personal violence TO get
even was denied those under him. ~
cadet sense OF honor would not permit
the appeal TO arms where the odds were
so uneven. The officers. Of course,
knew OF Hobson's courage. and this.
with the fact that he is now on Admiral
SIMPSONS stan. probably had much to
do with his choice for the work he 70
bravely accomplished"

1t is easy to tell by setting aside

When urine stains linen it is evidence
