WELL WORTH THE MONEY
HOBsON Is PREPARING To RAISE

saved-The Aimirsnte Oquesde
Hopeless Wreck.

Boston. Oct. 24-The Boston Fruit
company's steamer Beverly arrived at
the dock here this morning. having on
board Naval Constructor Richmond p
Hobson. Previous to Hobson's depar-
ture for Washington, he was ques-
toned by a reporter as to the prospect
of raising the sunken Spanish war ves-
sells of Santiago. He said he was now
engaged in the preliminary work on the
Cristobal Colon and that II would take
at least three weeks more before any
thing would be ready. The government
had appropriated $500. 900 for the rails
ing OF the vessel, but IL would be money
we'll spent. he said. IL the venture
proved a success. as the ship is worth
81. 900 900.
The purpose of his visit to this coun-
try, Mr.. Hobson said. was to see the
secretary OF the navy regarding further
work on the warships. He thought the
Vizcaya could be saved, but would not
affirm positively. She had settled In
the sand. which had formed thick bed
around her. so that she Is resting In an
easy position. but a dry dock would
have to be built around her before she
could be raised. An appropriation of
81 0O0, 900 would cover the cost OF raising
the yizcaya and would enable the gov
ernment to bring her north and put her

can be raised with but little cost.

Hobson, II had so American laborers
employed. but owing to the foul atmos-
phere. foul gases and foul water. very
few escaped sickness and I was Obliged
to fall back on Cuban laborers. These
men seem TO stand the work very well.
and under proper supervision can ac-
complish good results.
There Is a growing sentiment. 1 ma.
among naval officers. that every one OF
the sunken Spanish ships should be
raised and II found TO be unseaworthy
be kept as relics. The Spanish vessels
that have been. and no doubt could be
saved and put in commission. should
retain their names as a memento OF the
prowess of America"

Insists That the Nile Valley Belongs
TO Egypt = Another Blue Book TO
Be Issued - Has Incontest-

London. Oct. 24.-The British ad-
miralty issued a number of significant
orders this morning. The dockyards at
Portsmouth. Devonport and Chatham
have received instructions to prepare
six 3o-knot torpedo boat destroyers for
commissioning so they will be able to
put to sea In "a hours.
Overtime hours have begun on the
first-class cruisers Europe and Andro-
media so as to hurry them for sea serv-
ice. Several gunboats In the different
dockyards have been ordered to post
pone unnecessary fitting.
Finally the Cunard line and White
Star line received from the admiralty
ers In readiness for turning over to the
navy officials.
The British government will issue an
other blue book tonight, the most i'm
portant feature Of which will be a dis
patch dated Oct. IL from the Marquis
OF Salisbury to the ambassador at Paris.
Sir Edmund Monson. reproducing the
previous interview with Baron de Cour-
eel In which the latter wished to as
certain what solution Of the question
was possible. In this dispatch the Mar
quls of Salisbury says:
II generally insisted that the Nile
valley had belonged and still belongs
to Egypt. and that whatever diminu-
tion that title had suffered by the
mahdi's conquest had been removed by
the victory at Omdurman."
Baron DE Courcel then said that
France wanted an outlet to the Nile and
the Marquis OF Salisbury requested
that the whole proposition be made In
writing. This was the last interview
between the ambassador and the pre-
mier on this subject. Baron De Cour-
Gel then went to Paris and IL Is thought
that the proposition which he brings
embodles the points indicated in this
conversation.
The Salisbury dispatch In conclusion
said: The extreme indefniteness of
Baron DE Courcers proposition made II
impossible for me to express or form
an opinion relative to the territory
claimed by France In the Bahr el Cha

apprehension. informed him that 4

quiries regarding the qualifications of
l'rof. II. S. Lyman, Union candidate for
State School Superintendent, l am per-
sonally acquainted with him, having
been associated with him in literary and
educational work for a number of wears,
He is an Oregon boy, born at Dallas in
1865. He is a graduate of Pacific Uni
versity, Oregon, and 0berlin College, o.
Since 1882 he has devoted his entire
time to the educational interests of our

enterprises. He is modest and retiring
in his disposition, but untiring in his
zeal for the upbuilding of our state.
His thorough classical training, COM
bined with his extensive practical expe-
rience in educational liues, Will enable
him to give our department of public in
