GENERAL SUAF1ER ARMY.
Department Looking After It's Comfort
and Health

Washington, July 25.--Rumors of va
rious kinds have been in circulation as
to the disposition of General Shafter's
army, but the War Department has
not come to any conclusion as yet in
the matter. A sufficient force is to be
kept at Santiago to maintain the posi-
tion the United States has taken and
to preserve order. While there is yellow
fever infection in the army no attempt
will be made to bring the troops TO
the United States. The War Depart
ment, it may be stated. is now bending
every effort to secure for General Shaf-
ter's army an ample supply of nutritious
food and also will see that the soldiers
have Il rest and careful attention so
they may get III the very best condition.
The medical corps is now making Il care
full examination of the army with Il
view Of advising the Department as to
the best methods of restoring the sick
TO health and preventing any further
spread of disease. 1t is not believed
at the Department that any large num-
ber OF troops will be necessary ut San
tiago after the Spanish prisoners have
been deported

ATTEMPT TO BLOW
UP A SUPPLY SHIP
THREE DAYS OUT AN INTERNAL MACHINE
FOUND ON DECK.
Contained Gun Cotton and Dynamite Mus
have been Placed Aboard in New York;
The Ship was the Port Victor.

New York, July pa letter to Il
prominent officer here by Captain Will
liam G. Brickley, of the refrigerating and
supply ship Port Victor. says that an at.
tempt was made to blow up the ship
when she was three days out. He said
that a box containing thirty pounds of
dynamite and guncotton was found,
without any address, on the main deck
Of the steamer. A clock-like mechanism
had been arranged by which the eXplos-
ives were to be set off.
The Port Victor left New York, July
II. The box was made of 2h inch lum-
Der and was jOinted and grooved. 1t was
10 inches high, 20 inches wide and 8
feet long
When the box was opened another box
of the same kind of lumber and nearly
as large, was found inside. This was
opened and inside were found the dyna-
mite and guncotton. The upper part of
the inside of the box was lined with nu-
merous wires connected with Il clock
Ike mechanism, as described by the
Captains letter, though the letter did
not state at what time the mechanism
had been set to explode
Captain Brickley wrote that he and
the steward threw the box overheard.
They did not inform anyone else on the
ship of the occurrence, with the exception
- an expert officer, who examined the
machine for Captain Brickley.
The letter contains very few details.
and the description of the machine does
not give the army officer who received
The letter definite idea as 10 what the
mechanism was like or how II
was to have been exploded The Captain
wrote that the box was aboard the ship
when he left New York, and he said
that it must have been placed aboard

THE COLON CAN BE RAISED.
An Engineering Feat of Large Proper

An Engineering Feat of Large Proper
tions Says Lieut.. Hobson, But it Can
be Done.
New York, July 25.-Lieutenant Rich
mond Pearson Hobson arrived in New
York to-day from Washington, and after
consulting with the officials of the Mer-
ritt x Chapman Wrecking Company an
nounced that that company had CON
scnted to undertake the rescue of the
Cristobal Colon and was making every
effort to begin the work as soon as
possible.
"rhe difficulty of saving the Colon"
said he Lies in the complete submer-
gence, upon her beam end, of steamer
of 1000 tons. Only a short portion of
her stem is clear of water, which fills
her whole interior. Her sea valves are
open, and her sides are in few places
perforated by shells. The beach upon
which she lies in exceedingly shelving.
forming a part. in fact of the mountain
which there rises from the sea and
towers aloft. In short. all the conditions
are present which render the righting
and raising of the ship an engineering
feat of large proportions. At the same
time it is simple and quite feasible No
to be invented: it is simply question
of getting to the spot in time with the
accepted means and methods on suffi-
cicnt scale"
AS to the plan for raising the Colon,
Lieutenant Hobson said:
'W will run the pontoons along side
of the Colon, submerged them and after
chains under che bottom of the ship have
been fastened to the pontoons and tight
ened the pontoOns will be pumped out.
AT the same time we will use air pumps
in trying to force the water out of her
air chambers and water-tight compart-
ments. If many of these compartments
are found to be in good condition this
combined force from the outside and the
inside will be sufficient to raise the Colon
several feet Ii they are not sufficient
then airbags will be put in her hold AMI
inflated by compressed air. Every time
the ship is raised few feet from the bot
tom she will he towed further in shore.
SO that after several easy stages she will
be high enongh from the water to make
all the necessary repairs. Ii is thought
that her hull is not in leaky condition,

RIGHT, ANNEX THEM, JONATHAN

That's the Advice of Sir George Clark
With Respect to Hawaii and Porto
Rico.
London. July 2J.-Sir George Sydon-
ham Clarke, the expert OH naval tactics
and coast defenses. writes to the
Daily Graphic to-day strongly approving
American annexation of Hawaii and
Porto Rico.
The letter was evoked by an article
in the Daily Graphic calling attention
to the reversal "of England's traditional
policy to prevent the United States from
acquiring strategical positions in the At
lantic and the Pacific. enabling it to con
troll the possible canal.
The Daily Graphic in an editorial this
morning said it agrees with Sir George
Sydenham Clarke. but is curious to
know what induced Lord Salisbury to
adopt an attitude which has so much
facilitated the success of the United
States.
