The members of the naval construction
corps are still rejoicing over the splendid
exploit of Hobson and Powell. The latter.
a young cadet who sat through the long
hours in n teamiaunch under the Spanish
fire. waiting to fetch away Hobson and his
crew, is also a member of the construction
corps. according to Chief Constructor HIGH

force of naval architecture at Annapolis,
and, according to the rules. that placed
him. in the construction corps, as much SO
as Chief Hichborn himself.
That Cadiz fleet which was reported to
be doing strange things in the West Indies
yesterday is not giving the naval ohiciais
any concern. They have learned through
the state department that the Spanish ships
were at Cadiz last Friday. SO they could

A. BRITISH VIEW of 1T.
Admiral Sir John Colomb Writes OF
the Sinking of the Mef.

the Sinking of the Mer-
rimac.
LONDON. .Ju1e 7.-Admiral Sir John
CoIosnb writes az follows to . morning pa
per with reference to the situation at San
tiago de Cuba:
II am inclined to think that, for the
purpose Of blocking the egress Of hos
tile war squadron, this operation Of sink
ing the Merrimac is q unique idea, though
blocking up an enerny's harbor by sink
Ing ships at the entrance Is not new.
What may be noted, however, with ad-
vantage is that the peculiar policy OF Ad-
miral Sampson is the policy Of greater ad-
mirals, especially of Lord Nelson, which
was to tempt a blockaded feet to put to
sea in order. that It might be fallen upon
ard destroyed, for when this has been
done blockading fleet is relieved to carry
out other duties.
Sampson wants every ship that can be
spared, and, If the Spanish ships are really
blocked in, much of his blockading force
may be detached. Still our policy in a like
case would not have blocked the channel
and would only have left a squadron on
Santiago large enough to make fair fight
should Cervera determine to try his for
tunes. 7.'-
Nevertheless Admiral Simpsons caution
confirms what naval men, who are also
students of naval history, have always in
sisted upon-that the entry Of warships In
to the ports of an enemy was no more
likely to be the practice Of steamers than
Of sailing ships.
"All through this war, however, what was
expected by the advanced school Of naval
thinkers and thing upon which, indeed.
much Of our own policy has been founded,
has been conspicuous by absence.
Admiral Sampson has never used his tor
be. used He has never sent one Of them
| as might be found at Santiago.
1T is plain that If a 5000 ton ship could
run into the narrowest part of channel at
| night, little torpedo boats might have
! swarmed right through and into the inner
| harbor. What has caused the expectation
| of these advanced naval thinkers to be
! disappointed cannot yet be known. but un-
| less things alter before the war is over,
we shall be found reconsidering our policy
| in this regard.
1.-The officers and men of the Merrimac
have clearly acted with the greatest gal
lantry, and, quite possibly, Admiral Ger
vera's recognition Of it may be step to-
ward peace. But do not understand
4 about Naval Constructor Hobson. Who
\ ever commanded the ship must have great
experience in pilotage. The naval architect
| has none. AL the work to be done was In
q special sense that Of q naval officer pure
