The good peo- pie of Minneapolis and St. Paul had pro- vided them with blue overalls, and Col onel Reeve had the forethought to ship them from his commissary stores hats, shirts, blouses and leggings.
 Colonel Reeve, his officers and the regimental band met the boys at the ferry and accompanied them into camp.

The Rank of Admiral

An exchange says: Naval rank at
the top of the service is peculiar in
this country. Thus we have neither
admirals nor vice admirals, but only rear
admrals. The rank of admiral and vice
admiral died with those who held them.
Rear Admiral Sampson is really captain,
who, for the purpose of exercising undls-
puted authority over the North Atlantic
squadron, has been given higher "acting"
rank. A similar distinction has been con-
ferred on Commodore Dewey. who will be
promoted to the full rank soon. Our rear
admirals are habitually referred to as ad-
mirals in all save purely official papers. 1t
would be better If we had only admirals,
without any qualifying adjective, leaving
command to be determined by the date Of
commission.

CAPTAIN OF MfRRIMAC
ARRIVES AT KEY WEST FROM
SANTIAGO
GIVES ALL HONOR TO H0BS0N
Saying His Act Was the Bravest He
Ever Saw or Heard of-Spanish
Chivalry
Press Special Wire


KEY WEST, June 6.-Captain Miller OF
the collier Merrimac arrived today. He
said:
Lieut.. Hobsons act was the braves;
/ ever saw or heard of. Every officer and
man in the fleet would have volunteered
to go, but Hobson, being naval construc-
tor, was the man for the place. The de-
tails were arranged and the crew was on
board Thursday morning, and the vessel
had started, but day commenced to break
and the admiral signaled for her to re-
turn. Hobson begged to be permitted to
proceed saying he would be successful
However the admiral insisted on his re-
turn. The men were given a good sleep
and early the next morning the Merrimac
started again. She had been thoroughly
stripped of valuable articles, even the
clock and bell being taken off.
"Along one side a torpedo belt had been
arranged, about ten feet below the water
line, six torpedoes being placed so as to
break open the compartments. These
torpedoes had electric connection with {,
battery on the bridge. and were to be dis
charged by pressing a button.
ut was arranged that the Merrimac wa
to be swung across the channel till one
end grounded. The men that let go the
starboard anchor were to let the life raft
fall and then jump overheard Last of
all, the man that pressed the key would
plunge into the water. The man at the
key was undoubtedly Hobson. He would
be unlikely to assign another man to the
most dangerous post. Besides, he is the
best swimmer in the navy.
1.-The plan was carried out perfectly. The
only thing we had not counted on was the
Spaniards keeping such a sharp watch.
Undoubtedly they knew something was
afoot They permitted the Merrimac TO
pass between the Moro and the Estrella
forts without notifying her. When she
was in range of the other forts every gun
could not count the shots, the firing was so
furious. The forts must have fired a
thousand times.
IT was on the New York watching, and
the hearts of all of us faltered, for it seemed
as if no ship could live in that hell of fire
The Merrimac anchored. The men jumped
overheard and the forts then subsidized, re-
fusing to fire at the men struggling in the
water. The men reached the raft, where
they were captured and taken to MORO
fort.
when Admiral Cerveras chief of staff
came on board the New York several Of
icers asked to be allowed to exchange
places with Hobson, but this was not per-
