urday morning when the first news

the brief statement of the sinking Of
the Merrimac in Santiago harbor the
officials of the navy department awaited
with intense interest official confirma-
ton and explanation from Admiral
Sampson. In the afternoon the story
came. lacking in detail, it is true, but
giving in rough outlines a sketch OF
American heroism that will live through
generations to come. There is no doubt
that the name Hobson is destined to
be bracketed with that Of Cushing
among naval heroes. and it was the
opinion OF the majority Of officers who
scanned the account Of the sinking of
the Merrimac that the exploit surpassed
in brillancy and as an exhibition of
cool daring Cushing's famous attack
upon the ram Albemarle.

Chatham, Mass, June 6.-An I'M

ashore on Bearses shoal in a heavy
northeast storm during the morning.
She was too far out for her identity to
be determined and no assistance can
be rendered, as half the lfe-saving
crew went off duty last Tuesday night
A tremendous sea was running when
the vessel struck and she was swept
by the waves in a most dangerous man
ner.
The vessel is apparently from some
Maine port, as she came in from the
eastward. Those who saw the vessel
from the shore expressed the belief that
the vessel could not stand the heavy
sea and the crew would go down with
the shin.
