WASHINGTON, July Assistant
Naval Constructor Richard P. Hobson
and the six seamen, who accompanied
him in the perilous journey of the Mer
rimac under the guns of MORO Castle
and scuttled her across the channel,
were surrendered by the Span
iards to General Shafter, today,
In exchange for Spanish officers,
who had been captured by the Ameri-
can forces.
Capt. Chadwick, of the New York,
was at the front to meet the gallant
Hobson and his crew, and they were
escorted through the American lines by
him. Their journey was one continu
GUS ovation and was marked by the
widest demonstrations on the part of
the American soldiers.
Hobson and his companions were
taken Immediately on board the New
York where they now are.
The decks Of the flagship were lined
with the officers and men who had
gathered to greet the heroes of the
Merrimac. AS Hobson climbed up the
side and stepped on board the vessel.
the harbor rang with cheers Of the
officers and crew and the joyous shouts
were taken up and re- echoed from the
crews of dozen transports lying near
by.
Hobson was very reticent and would
say but very little in regard to his ex
periences, except that he and his com
rades had been well treated by the
Spaniards and that all were in excellent
health.

Out Of employment and despond-

was Of no further use to himself or
anyone else, and attempted to termi
nate his earthly existence by sending
a bullet from 8 SS-calibre revolver
into his hsart. But his aim was
faulty. He yet lives. The chances
are that he will recover. The trag-
edy occurred about 5 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon at Poehlman's home,
1903 Seventh avenue. He had been
drinking, and on arriving home q
short time before his unsuccessful
attempt, told MS wife aud daughter,
Lena. that he intended to Kill HIM
self. They reasoned with him, but
he only grew all the. more frenzied
and apparently determined to carry
out his threat. Mrs. Poehlmsn
FASTENED to Seidel's grocery store

Robert Reuth, and as they were
about to start for the house in com.

Poenlmsn rushed into the store and
said that her father had shot HIM

Pdeh!man was found in his bed

Seidel and Reush. Poehlman was
bleeding from wound in his breast.
He was conscious and begged to be

entered two inches to the left and
