CAPE HAYTIEN, June 0-The torpedo

the troop-ship Resolute. AS soon as
Commander Mckenzie had forwarded
dispatches to Washington the May
flower left with her consort.
AS the Mayhower is the most heavi-

the large yachts bought by the govern
ment, it is supposed that the expedition
in her charge is bound for Santiago,
and that its Importance made 1t neces-

with any Spanish gunboat that might
be tempted to try to capture the rich
prize. In addition to the troops, the
Resolute is known to have on board
vast quantities of ammunition for the

HOBSON'S HEROISM.
is UNEQUALED IN THE ANNALS
or AMERICAN HISTORY.
Marrow Channel IL Completely Dlookadsd
by tho Wreck of tho Merrlmac- Ger
verab Fleet No Longer of Any Use to
Bpain.

KINGSTON jamaica, June O,--Rear
Admiral Sampson, during Friday morn.
Ing, decided TO close the morrow
harbor entrance Of Santiago dc Cuba
by sinking the collier Merrimac,
loaded with coal In the channel. He
called for volunteers TO go TO almost
certain death, and 1000 men offered
themselves. Lieutenant IIobson and
six men were chosen, and at q, m,
Friday morning the McrTimac, under
her own steam, entered the channel
under terrible Spanish fire, The ves-
sci was rlddled with projectiles, but
she anchored and swung around, Lieu
tenant lIobson then set of nm internal
torpedo with an electric attachment,
when there was an explosion, the Merrl-
mac sank and the channel was closed
and, apparently, Admiral Cervera will
be unable TO escape
Hobson and the hero crew OF the
Mcrrlmac were saved In the following
manner; Unable, after the sinking OF
their vessel, 10 make their way back
through the storm OF shot and she'll
they rowcd into the harbor TO the
Spanish flagship and were taken on
board unframed. The Spanish nd.
miral, under flag of truce on Friday,
sent word TO the American admiral
that he offered TO exchange the pris'
oners, adding that, in the meantime,
Hobson and his party would DO treated
with the greatest blindness.
Lieutenant Hobson appears TO have
carried out his plans to the smallest
details, except as regards the methods
of escape. The rowbont In which the
crew were to attempt to escape was
either blown up or shot TO pieces,
for Lieutenant Hobson and his
men drifted ashore on an old catama-
ran which was slung over the ships
side at the last moment az an extra
precaution. Upon reaching shore,
the men were taken prisoners
and sent to Santiago city under
guard, Later they were taken to
MORO castle, where they are now.
Captain 0veido, Admiral Cervera's
chief Of staff, who boarded the New
York, under flag of truce, did not
give further details OF the capture,
The bravery of the Americans evident
ly excited as much admiration among
the Spaniards as II did among the men
of the American fleet. The prisoners
will be perfectly safe, and will prob
ably be well treated while they remain
in MORO castle.
Cushing's memorable feat in blowing
up the Confederate ram Albemarle is
overmatched by Hobson's act, for Cush-
ing's men crcpt up Albemarle sound at
and fell upon an unsuspect-
ing foe. Hobson took his ship, over
330 feet long, into the very focus OF the
battery, with the enemy at the guns,
and blew her up. Discovery Mt the end
of his journey was inevitable, and
death was almost certain, No name,
therefore, can be written higher on
wars temple of fame than his.
Like Cushing's deed, Hobson's des-
perate undertaking was conceived by
him who executed it.

LETTERS TAMPERED WITH.
Lieutenant CnrrnnEa Denies Accuracy OF
Its Pnbllshed TrnnalntIon.

It's Published Translation.
MONTREAL, Que, June 6,--The news
that the missing Spanish letter which
was stolen from Lieutenant Carranza
had been given out for publication has
created decided sensation among
those particularly interested,
The letter, Lieutenant Carranza said,
was not addressed to the Spanish min
lister OF marine, as statad, but to his
(Caranza's) cousin, Admiral Gomczi-
may. The supposed transl ltion of the
letter as given in the dispatches was
full OF errors and contained language
which he had never used. In the first
place he had never spoken disparag-
ingly Of Camara,
Az to u spy service, all he had said in
his letter was; "Thcy believe in the
United States that l am organizing u
spy service; they seem TO sec spies
everywhere" He had never said that
they had captured two of his best spies,
one in Washington and the other in
Tampa. That was pure falsehood,
invented by the Americans who were
looking for something TO blow about.
There were other errors which mp
peared in the translation of the letter
as contained in the dispatches which
showed that 1t had been altered to bet
ter suit the interests of the American
government.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June GA dis
patch from Port Antonio says: "a
vessel that has arrived here from San
tiago de Cuba reports that the Amer

The assumption, based upon dis
patches from Madrid, has been that
destroyer Terror, after leaving Fort de
France, went to Porto Rico, and it is
probable that the Port Antonio dis
patch confuses her with her sister de-
stroyer the Furor, as has several times
been the case in dispatches from other
points.

SPAIN'S PRAYER FOR PEACE.

Burden of War Too Heavy for tho Al

WASHINGTON, June G.-1hc belief is
growing in the best informed govern
ment circles that Spain is sincerely
anxious to make peace, and even now
she is seeking favorable opportunity
TO make overtures in that direction.
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
would consider peace.
The desperate condition OF the Span
ish forces Mt Manila, Santiago and Ha-
vana are reasons why Spain should be
SOLICITORS at this time for peace. With
this comes the report Of the serious
embarrassment of the Bank of Spain,
on which the government relies for
