Eichborn, Immediately after the cap
ture of Hobson's men by Admiral Ger
vera, when 1t was thought that he and
his half dozen men alone had survived
from the wreck Of an American battle
ship destroyed by torpedoes in attempt
ing to force the harbor, the Spaniards
were too jubilant to pay much atten-
ton to him. But when they realized
no American lives had been lost and
the channel had been DISTRACTED, II at
all, only by a worthless Old coll er, they
locked upon him with amazement as
hero whose gallantTy far exceeded any
Spanish conception Of what a man
might do for his country, and 1T was
with great chagrin that Admiral Ger
vera was prevented by the Madrid au-
therities from returning the heroic
young officer and his brave men to
Admiral Sampson, but was compelled
to deliver them to the military authoii-
ties ashore as prisoners Of war.
Gen. Linares, with the brutal instinct
that had marked his conduct of Cuban
affairs already instructed to him, de-
llberately placed Hobson and his men
In Moro castle as shield against the
fire of SIMPSONS squadron. Here Hob
son was locked up for five days In
solitary confinement in a filthy dun
geon under conditions which he says
must have soon resulted in his serious
illness and perhaps in death. The treat
ment he received and the scanty food
given him were no better than that
accorded to a common criminal con-
demned to execution.
This punishment, however, was Of
short duration on account Of the Wig
orous protest which was made through
a neutral power to Spain, coupled with
Admiral SIMPSONS notice to the Span
ish commodore that he would be held
personally responsible for Hobson's
welfare. Under these circumstances
Admiral Cervera interposed his in
fiuence with Gen. Linares and HobSon
with his men was transferred to the
barracks in the city. Here his solitary
confinement continued, but he could
look out of window to the hills on the
east and see the smoke from the
rifles Of Gen. Skaters men firing from
their Entertainments with the consola-
ton that his captivity WI ld be of short
duration.
The food given to Hobson was of the
most wretched character, probably be-
cause the Spaniards themselves could
spare TO better, but the British consul
fl equently brought him delicacies f. ON
his cwn table. A Spanish official was
invariably present, however, during
these visits, to prohibit conversation,
and no news of occurrences around him
was ever permitted to reach Hobson.
In this manner he was kept in ignor-
ance of the destruction Of Cervera's
fleet until his exchange was completed
and he had entered the American lines.

tinuing, She Sued for Peace.
LONDON, July ga special dis
patch from Madrid says: 1.-THE gov
eminent does not conceal that 1t hest
tated for some days to go beyond an
unofficial exploration at Washington
because the diplomatic agents employ
ed to make the soundings gave con-
f1icting accounts Of President McKin-
ley's disposition One represented him
as eager to terminate the war on mod
crate conditions: the other that the
most orerous conditions would be i'm
posed, so much so that the Madrid gov
eminent thought it useless to sue Off
cially. When, however, it was seen
that the American war preparations
continued, Duke Almodovar de Rio,
minister of foreign affairs, was in
structed to send the note. The cabinet
net Wednesday evening to deliberate
as to the best means and channel of
negotiation. Paris and London were
both discussed. No decision was ar
rived at, but a majority favored send
ing Senior Mo:et, former minister Of the
colonies, or special mission to London
to negotiate the treaty of peace with
Amba ssador Hay. Official feeling
favors direct negotiations without in
reference from outsiders, even with re-
gard to the Philippines There is little
doubt that if President McKinley'S re-
ply proves an acceptable basis, the ne
gotiations will not be protracted, since
Spain, for many reasons, Is DESTROYS
of a speedy settlement and not least 50
because at the present moment public
opinion is calm.
after todays cabinet council, Senior
Sagasta, the premier, said he had
grounds for hoping that an understand
ing might be arrived at, but he could
say nothing definite. Duke Almodovar
de Rio said the European cabinets had
been informed of the step Spain had
taken, but not as to the text of the
note sent to President Mckinley. The
cabinet council will not meet again
until Friday evening, by which time
President McKinley's reply is expected.
1.-THE ministerial Ell Correo says the
government communicated to the queen
regent in council a dispatch intimating
that President Mckinley in principle
assented to the opening Of negotia-
| lions.
Gel impartial says that the Carlist
! agitation, which at first appeared to
| be trampled out, has recommended in
| the province Of Cuenca and in parts
of Navarro. A Carlist bricklayer has
been arrested for trying to enlist ad-
herents. He fought on the Carlist side
in the last civil war. Probably he will
| be court-martialed."

gained in the formations of the great
camps at Chickamauga and Camp AL

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-While
Naval Constructor Hobson has mani
tested great reticence in speaking Of
his treatment by the Spanish authori-
ties after the Merrlmac had been sunk,
and has avoided any reference to his
experiences as prisoner which might
increase the esteem in which he is held
by officials and the public generally, he
has talked freely on this subject to his
immediate superiors, who declare that
for a time he was treated by Spaniards
as common criminal instead of being
accorded the rights Of a prisoner Of
war.

LIFE LOST IN THE LAKE
JOSEPH A. GERAGHTY is DROWNED
AT CRYSTAL
Was Out Fishing When a SuuaII
Upset the Boat-Twa of His
Brothers and Martin Kennedy
Save Themselves, but Were I'm
able to Render Assistance to
Their Brother and Companion.

Joseph A. Geraghty, son of once Col
lector Of Customs John G. Gera ghty.
living at $50 Holly avenue, was drown
ed in Crystal lake, near Rosemount,
yesterday afternoon. News of the
drowning reached the city last even
ing, when the father, accompanied by
Michael Doran Jr. and Morris Doran
drove to the lake to assist in the search
for the body.
Young Geraghty, with two elder
brothers, John F. and Thomas P. Ger
agility, and Martin Kennedy, living at
436 Islehart street, were camping at
the lake. The four young men were
out fishing 200 feet from the shore when
storm came up. The boat filled with
water and tipped over, throwing the
occupants into the lake. The two elder
Geraghty boys chung to the boat, while
Kennedy swan ashore, but Joseph
Geragh.y seemed dazed during the
struggle in the water, as though hay-
ing been struck on the head when he
came up beside the boat, and could
not retain his hold on the overturned
craft. His brothers made every effort
to save him, but without avail, and the
the young man sank within few feet
OF the. boat. Meantime Kennedy had
reached the shore and put out with a
boat, rescuing two Of his companions,
but reaching the overturned boat too
late to save the younger Geragthty
bow.
Joseph Geraghty was nineteen years
old, and lived with his parents He
was a student at the state university.

Will have been signed.
SPANIARDS ARE TRICKY.
The fact that the Spaniards are
treacherous is not being overlooked. 1t
IS SAID that the government will brook
no nonsense. and in it's reply to the
spanish note handed to President Nc
h1nley by M. Cambon, will explicitly
stlpulate that there must be no dis
sembling on the part of Spain. If there
is to be peace it must be agreed upon
quickly, and until Spain acuuiesces in
thls pan there will be no cessation in
the carrying out Of the war plans pre-
pared by the government That much
Will, it is said, be made so clear that
there will be no chance for the Span
lards to misinterpret it between the
lines
QUESTION OF INDEMNITY.
The question Of Indemnity will not he
difficult to adjust. Spain could not paw
a war indemnity at the present time
ana 1t is argued that many years will
nave elapsed before the Dons regain a.
sChclently strong financial position to
make good any promises to pay. H:nce
the government is dispos d 10 make tia
best Of the situation ard take territory
1rsteaG Of a promise of cash. But that
also has time lint If the Spaniards
are stubborn and force the United
States to prosecute the war further.
then Spain must expect to foot the bill.
ana must prepare to raise the cash in
some way. 1t requires large sums Of
money to sink warships and equip SOL
d1ers for the field. The United States
has already expended enormous
amounts and does not propose to carry
the burden further to satisfy Spanish
vanity.
NO PREVIOUS OVERTURES.
1t is given out here today, and off,
clally, that there were no overtures
looking to peace presented to the gov
eminent prior to the note from Spain
handed in by M. Cambon. There have
at various times been circulated ru-
mors to the effect that the French
minister and other diplomats had ap-
preached the president with PROPOSE
lions for terminating hostilities be-
tween the United States and Spain.
Now it is said that the rumors were
groundless. Representatives of Euro
pean powers are fully cognizant of the
fact that any such action on their part
would likely have had an effect just
opposite to what they desired
ARMIsTICE NOT OBLIGATORY.
So much has been said about SPANS
protests against continuation of hos.
tilities pending peace arrangements,
that the question was widely discus Sc ]
today, in and out Of official circles. 1t
| is conceded that according to wel.-es
tablished rules Of warfare there is no
obligation upon the triumphant power
| to declare an arm 'stica while peace p-o-
positions are under consideration It
may do as 1t elects, ard keep within the
bounds of recognized usages Of civilized
warfare.

JAW BROKEN BY THUGS
FRANK SCHUSTER TERRIBLY
REATEN BY PARTIES UNKNOWN

lice Have Been Keeping the Mat.
ter Quiet for Protection of Their
Case.
Frank Schuster, young man living
at 230 East Tenth street, Is lying in
dangerous condition at ST. Joseph's
hospital ais the result Of an assault
made upon him by unknown highway
men Sunday night. The thugs beat
Schuster over the head with a sand
bag, breaking his jaw in two places.
The wound is serious by reason of the
peculiar nature Of the fracture, which
necessitated an operation by which the
broken jaw was wired together. The
operation was performed Tuesday by
Doctors j. 0. Cavanaugh and Ramsey.
Schuster was walking on East Sew
enth street near Sibiey, when two men
sprapg from a doorway, one of them
grasping his arms, while the other
welded the sandbag. His hat saved
him from being felled by the first blow,
when his assailant struck him fairly
across the chin, knocking him in daz-
ed condition to the sidewalk When
he regained his senses Schuster sought
DR.. Cavanaugh, by whom he was TAX
ell to the hospital.
The young man has as yet been un-
able to give very clear account Of
the assault, but it is thought that rob
berry was intended.
