WENT TOO FAR IN.

Robson Carried the Merrimack Too Far
Into the Harbor Before Sinking Her.
A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Port Antonio says: 1t has re-
manned for the staunch dynamite cruis-
er, the Vesuvius, to demonstrate that
the entrance to Santiago harbor was not
completely blocked by the sinking Of
the Merrimack.
While poking her nose about the en-
trance to the harbor a few nights ago
the Vesuyius discovered ample room in
which to pass the wreck of the Merit
mack. She went in, made observations
along the inner harbor and then came
back to sea, getting around the wrecked
collier without difficulty. This rather
surprising information came out in the
course of a conversation in which Ad.
miral Sampson and Captain Chadwick
discussed the situation from a naval
standpoint.
At length Captain Chadwick made
the surprising statement that it was a
question whether the Merrimack had
been properly sunk. He said he feared
that Hobson and his plucky men had
taken the vessel too far into the harbor
