HoBsON TO SAVE TWO SHIPS.
Plans Matured for His Great Engineering
Feat.

Feat.
NEW YORK, July 25.-Naval Con-
structor Richmond P. Hobson, who re-
turned to New York from Washington
to-day, at once resumed work on the
plans he has submitted to the Navy
Department for raising the Spanish
war ships Cristobal Colon and Maria
Teresa, off Santiago harbor. Lieu
tenant Hobson announced, later in
the day, that the Merritt and Chap
man Wrecking and Derrick Company
had consented to undertake the res
cue of the Cristobal Colon and was
making every effort to begin the work
as soon as possible.
Lieutenant Hobson expects to re-
turn to Santiago within three or four
days. By that time he hopes to have
secured the necessary pontoons and
other appliances, and these will start
within week. 1t will take another
week for their transportation direct to
Santiago, and upon their arrival
the worbsof raising the warships
will be Immediately begun.
1T is always rather difficult" said
Lieut. Hobson, ito raise a 1000 ton
object. That is the weight of the
Cristobal Colon, and as only small
part of her bow is above water you
can readily see that there is a big en-
gineering problem before us. Yet |
am convinced that structurally the
boat is still intact and that the lob
may be done unless heavy storms
should occur.
e The Board of Experts, of which l
was a member, reported favorably, as
you know, as to the possibility of res
cuing the Cristobal Colon. Then the
expert of the wrecking company made
an unfavOrable report, and there
after | was sent by the Admiral to
make another thorough examination.
AS result of that examination | am
convinced, and the company is now
convinced, that the boat may be saved.
In order to raise her we must make
use of her own buoyancy, stopping up
her hatchets, and then with pontoons
giving her enough added buoyancy to
rise. Her own buoyancy is still great
and our efforts will be directed to-
ward applying the necessary added
buoyancy in the right place
The Colon, although more difficult
than the Maria Teresa to raise, will
be of more value once saved on ac-
count of the fact that she is still good
structurally. The plan we have to
raise her is to run the pontoons along
side of her, submerge them, and after
chains run under the bottom of the
ship have been fastened to the pom
toons and tightened, the water in the
pontoons will be pumped out and air
pumped in"

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 25.-

1000 Spanish soldiers at Guantanamo
laid down their. to-day. The
$3.50 from Palma Soriano, San Luis
and Longo surrendered yesterday to
Lieutenant Miley, and to-day pack
trains with provisions were sent them.
The only others included in the
capitulation are 1900 troops at Bar
acoa and 1000 at Sagua. They have
not yet been turned over, but they
are nowhere in General Garcia's vi
cinity. He is at Jiguany to-day and
reached there without encountering
any Spaniards.
General Shafter authorizes an abso-
lutte contradiction of the report that
Garcia encountered force of Span
iards who were returning to Santiago
to surrender and was defeated by
them.

will receive the formal surrender of

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 character,
others on the most trivial pretexts,
and yet Others solely because of sym
pathy with the insurgent cause. The
Jail is still filed with many whose
crimes and sentences are not on rec
ord and are absolutely unknown, so
far as has yet been ascertained. A
general investigation has been order

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 25.-Gen-
eral Miles was not expected to defer
his landing in Porto Rico until the
remainder of his large army could
reach him, which the War Depart
ment tonight hoped to see accom-
plished within a week.
The commander of the army was
expected by Secretary Alger to pick
out suitable place for encamping
his troops and establish himself
ashore, awaiting the arrival of the
other detachments, part of which are
now on their way.
War Department officials expected
that the first news received from Gen
eral Miles would come through the
press dispatches, as the General has
not with him, so far as known, any
dispatch boats.
1t will be at least Saturday before
direct cable communication can be
established with him, and in the
meantime reliance must be had on
the dispatch boats running across to
st. Thomas, distant about four hours
run.
The Department was busted to-day
hurrying the departure of the re-
mainder of Miles expedition. 1t was
expected at the Department that
General Brooke and General Hains
would sail to-day from Newport News
to join Miles, and that most of Gen
eral Brooke's command would be EN-
barked by Wednesday.
The work of embarkation at Hamp-
ton Roads is being conducted with
much less difficulty and delay than
was expected. Colonel Hecker, in
charge OF the transportation division
of the War Department, who has just
returned from that place, has report
ed to Secretary Alger that it is emf
nently suited to the shipment of the
troops.
Consequently, the Secretary to-day
ordered all of General Grants bri-
gade, 5000 men, from Chickamauga
to Newport News.
1t is not expected that all the trans
ports required for their accommoda-
tion will have arrived there by the
time the soldiers get in, but they will
encamp on suitable ground, and, it is
believed, will be benefited by the
change from Chickamauga.

Christian Socialism.

Look about you. The products of labor are

moment a wel-ordered life without them. Ev-
cry object in your room has On it, for discerning
eyes, the mark of ingenious tools, and the pres
sure of labor's hands But is it not the cruel
est injustice for those whose lives are surrounded
and embellished by this work to have su-
perabundance of the money which represents
the aggregate OF labor in any country, while
the laborer himself is kept to steadily at work
that he has no time to acquire the education and
reiuements of life that would make him and
his family agreeable companions to the rich and
cultured? The reason why l am Christian
Socialist comes in just here
would take, not by force, but by the slow
process of lawful acquisition, through better
legislation, as the outcome of wiser ballot in
the hands of men and women, the entire plant
that we call civilization, all that has been
achieved OH this continent in the four hundred
years since Columbus wended his way hither,
ana made it the common property of all the
people, requiring all to work enough with their
hands to give them the finest physical develop
ment, tut not to become burdensome ia any
case, and permitting all to share alike the adj
vantages of education and refinement | be-
believe this to be perfectly practicable; indeed,
that any othel method is simply relic of bar
barsn / believe with Frederic Maurice, of
England, that it is inhdel for any to say that
competition is not doomed The trusts, whose
si,1ole object il is TO abolish competition, have
proved tha. we are better without than with it
the moment that any corporation controls the
supply of any product What the socialist de-
sres is that the corporation of humanity should
control all production. This is the frictionless
way. 1t is the niger law. 1t eliminates the
motive for s92fsh life. 1t enacts into our ev-
ery-d.y living the bethcs of Christ's gospel.

A Gritty Kansas Woman.

We clip the following from the Kansas City
Journal
Mrs. Bent Murdock, who is visiting relatives
in MARYLAND, went to call on President McKin
ley the other day. Upon her return to Balti
more, she was met by reporter, who asked
her how she stood on the burning questions of
the hour, and this was her breezy answer:
81 will answer YOU as | did President Nc
kinney, Thursday. | was i'll Washington, Wis

combination and absorption; all age of develop
ment and aggrandizement; and now that four

Wheels That Turn Backward.

strike among the cotton mill operatives of
New England noy seems unlikely. The 4o,-
900 employees of The makers of cotton goods
will submit to reduction of 10 per cent in
their wages. They see no way to help them
selves. They could strike but if the manufac-
turers have spoken truly, strike would be USE
less. The employers say they cannot pay the
old wages except at loss to themselves.
This is not exactly the thing which those
New England people voted for in 1896. The
wheel-turning business has been disappoint-
ment to them. Instead of the wheels turning
for them, they are likely to stop turning unless
a reduction of wages is submitted to.
When return of prosperity was promised
the people of the United States in 1896, they
did not understand that it was to be local in
character. Such as has developed so far seems
to have been confined to those sections of the
country where providence has lent its assistance
by bestowing bountful yields of such products
as foreign countries seem to stand in need of to
an unusual degree.
1t must be conceded that the prosperity which
seems largely confined to the west is due chief

Even the president comedies this, and has re-
Trained from claiming any credit for his admin
istration in the matter.
The return of better times in the west being
due, therefore, to causes foreign to politics, and
the fact that conditions are worse than they
were in the east, taken together make it evil
dent that the fulhllment of the campaign prom
ises made in 1896 has not yet begun. When
the administration begins to contribute its share
to the return of prosperity, if its favors shall
be distributed evenly, there is vertatle boom
in store for the west.
No general prosperity has ever proceeded
from policy which builds up industry or
one locality at the expense of another. Wheth-
er or not the Dingley tariff, on which the ad-
minstration seems to rely for tulfllment of
campaign promises, shall prove an exception to
the rule remains to be seen.-Topeka State

Let me give you the true American doctrine;
A government is not substitute for king 1t

hot to tell the people what to do, but to carry
out the peoples will. 1t is not to command,
bat to administer. 1t is not to be car on

is not coronationi it is simply choosing OF
