That Half Mast Flag.
Special Dispatch to The SUN.

Special Dispatch to The SUN
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The officials at
the War and Navy Departments do not
believe that the display of the Spanish
flag at half mast over Moro Castle, San
tiago, was intended to mean that Lieu
tenant Hobson and his hero crew were
dead.
At the War Department the officials
say that the flag was evidently placed
at half.mast on account of the death of
some high official or officer, aud that it
did not refer to the Americans They
also say that if Lieutenant Hobson and
his companions were dead the Captain
General at Havana would have notified
Commodore Watson when he refused to
exchange the prisoners.
1t is said at the Department that the
Spaniards are holding Hobson and his
companions for exchange with some big
officer, such as Admiral Cervera or Gem
eral Linares, who are certain to be cap.
ltured within the next few days.
