Admiral Simpsons
Official Report.
Detailed Statement Concerning the Sinking
of the Merrimac in the Entrance to Har-
Dor at Santiago de Cuba--Bravery of
Crew Extolled.

This morning proved more propitious
so a prompt start was made. Nothing
could have been more gallantly execut
ed. We waited impatiently after the
firing by the Spaniards ceased. When
they did not reappear from the harbol
l feared they had all perished. The
steam launch, which sent in charge OF
Naval Cadet Powell to rescue the men,
appeared at .his time coming out under
a persistent fire from the batteries, but
brought none of the crew. A careful
inspection of the harbor from the ship
showed the vessel Merrimac had been
sunk in the channel. This afternoon
the chicf-of-staff of Admiral Cervera
came out under flag of truce, with a
letter from the admiral extolling the
bravery of the crew in an unusual man.

press my appreciation Of the conduct of
Mr.. Hobson and the gallant crew. |
venture to say that a more brave and
daring thing has not been done since
Cushing blew up the Albemarle.
Referring to the inspiring letter which
was addressed to the officers at the
beginning of the war, am sure you will
offer suitable professional reward to
Mr.. Hobson and his companions.

Miller relinquished his command with
the very greatest reluctance, believing
he would retain his command under all

Washington, June 1.-THE Navy de-
partment today posted the following
bulletin. giving detailed official report
from Admiral Sampson upon the hero
ism of Lieutenant Hobson and his men
in sinking the Merrimac in the Santiago
de Cuba channel:
fF'sU. S. flagship, New York, off San
tiago, June 8, 1S9S.-Permit me to call
your especial attention to Assistant
Naval Constructor Hobson. As stated
in a special telegram before coming
here, I was ordered to make the
harbor entrance secure against any
possibility OF egress by the Spanish
ships BY bbstructing the narrow part of
the entrance by sinking a collier at that
point. Upon calling upon Mr.. Hobson
for his professional opinion as to sure
method for sinking the ship, he mani
tested the most lively interest in the
problem. After several days considera-
tion he presented solution which he
considered would insure the immediate
sinking of the ship when she reached
the desired point in the channel. This
plan we prepared for execution when
we reached Santiago de Cuba. The
plan contemplated crew of only seven
men and Mr.. Hobson, who begged it
might be entrusted to him. Anchor
chains were arranged on the deck for
both anchors forward and aft, the plan
including the anchoring of the ship al
most automatically.
So soon as reached Santiago and had
a collier to work on, the details were
completed and diligently prosecuted,
hoping to complete them in one day, as
the moon and tide served best the first
night after our arrival. Notwithstand-
ing, the hour of o'clock in the morn
ing arrived and the preparations were
scarcely completed. After careful in
spection OF the final preparations I was
forced to relinquish the plan for that
morning, as dawn was breaking. Mr..
Hobson begged to try it at all hazards.
