Globe Railroad.

Construction work on the ella Valley,
Globe Il Northern railroad is progress
ing satisfactorily. Yesterday the track
had been laid three miles west of the
sub-agency-l5 miles from Geronimo.
The pile driving crew was four miles
this side of the sub-agency. Only about
two miles of grade remains to be com
pleted east of the ella river. A grad
ing outfit at work on the west side Of
the ella, has Il camp one mile from
San Carlos. The building of the bridges
over the ella and San Carlos river is
not expected to take longer than three
weeks, and it is thought trains will be
running into San Carlos by July 18th,
although it may be week or ten days
after that date. Two car loads of mules
for the contractors We're received on
Monday. Teams are in demand to haul
coke for the United Globe mines. 1t is
expected that the mail and coke for
Globe will be hauled from the sub
agency in less than two weeks. Silver

The Men Of the Mcrrimac.

1tlt sam lihtS VII MS iidl w iNi'i
mond p. Hobson and the seven men
who accompanied him on the Merrimac
into the harbor of Santiago. They dis
played the highest quality OF daring.
Most men will fight when blows are
given and taken, but serene courage is
required for Il service like that of the
Merrimac. Proceeding under II show
er of shot. to which they were unable
to reply. these men carried their yes
sci forward to the appointed place, ar
ranged for its sinking in the channel
and calmly left it. They were in dan
ger from the missiles hurled by the bat
teries and from the mines with which
the channel is strewn. AT any moment
the roar of an explosion beneath their
ship might salute them to another
world And they knew that if they
succeeded to the utmost, the best they
could hope for was to deliver them
selves up to the enemy. Let Us thank
God that American valOr and patriot
ism still rise equal to any occasion. and
let us breathe "a prayer of thankfuiness
that those who dared and did are
spared to US and to the world. which is
better and nObler that they live in it.
Admiral Cervera's recognition of the
bravery of his adversaries was the act
of q gentleman and soldier. He i'm
mediately sent dag of truce to notify
Admiral Sampson that the Merrimac
volunteers were held as prisoners of
war and would be exchanged, when de-
sired, for Spanish prisoners. 1t was u
bit of fine feeling to inform the Ameri-
can commander that the men had es-
capped with their lives. The officer
who is capable of it is capable of under
standing courage. We feel that he
realizes the character of the sailors
whom he is fighting. We feel that he
must know how hopeless it is to strug-
gle against them.
