following is a detailed story OF the act
of heroism performed by Lieutenant
Richmond =. Hobson and his seven
companions in sinking the collier Mer-
rimac across the channel leading into
the harbor OF Santiago de Cuba. The
Spanish fleet is now helpless captive
in Santiago de Cuba harbor: The mar
row channel leading into the harbor
was completely blocked early this morn
ing when the United States collier Mer-
rimac was sunk across its entrance. 1t
Is now impossible for the Spaniards to
get out, and ii is equally impossible for
any vessel 10 get into the harbor. There
fore the Spanish first-ciass armored
cruisers Maria Teresa, Cristobal Colon,
Vizcaya and Almirante Oquendo, with
the two torpedo boat destrOyers Furor
and Pluton, are no longer Of any use to
Spain.
Men Who Did the Business.
This result was accomplished through
the heroism of Lieutenant Richmond
i. Hohson, assistant naval constructor
and Daniel Montague. George Charette
j. c. Murphy. oscar Deignan, John T.
Phillips, John Kelly and IL. Clausen.
The latter, a coXswain, of the New
York, took part in the expedition against
orders. They were all captured by the
Spanish. but the Spanish admiral, ia
recognition of their bravery, sent word
10 the American admiral under a nag
of truce that he was willing ID *
change the prisoners. and assuring the
American commander that they would
be treated with the greatest kindness.
Money and provisions have been sent to
them and the necessary steps are being
taken TO bring about their exchange.
Gun Flashes Showed Her Progress.
The Merrimac had On board 500 tons
of coal when she was scuttled across
the channel. Lieutenant Ho3s1n started
on his daring errand at O'Clock this
morning. Under cover Of the clouds

stole in towards the coast AMI
made her way 10 the east
ward, followed by steam launch from
the New York, under command of Naval
Cadet j. w. Powell From the crowded
decks Of the New York nothing could
be seer of the Mecrimac after she had
got under the shadow Of the hills. For
half an hour officers and men strained
their eyes peering into the gloom. when
suddenly the flash Of a gun streamed
out from MORO castle, and then all on
board the New York knew the Merrimac
was nearing her end The guns from
the Spanish battery opposite Moro
castle answered quickly with more
flashes, and for about twenty minutes
flashes Of fire seemed TO leap across
the harbor entrance The flagship was
too far away to hear the reports. and
when the firing ceased il was Judged
that Hobson had blown up the Merri-
mac.

row ESCAPE.

Last night at $50 o'clock Amos Nix
and Jno. Moore, colored, were coming
down North East river in a batteau,
the tide swept them against the end
Of a fiat opposite the Carolina Central
wharves, upsetting the boat Both men
were thrown into the river, and Nix
rent. Moore was much encountered by
his clothing but swan out and got
another boat and went out to see if
he could find his companion. He could
not find him and it was reported that
he was drowned. After an hour, how
ever, Nix turned up all right, but he
says he thought at n time that he
was lost. The tide pressed him close
to the bottom of the fiat, and it was
several minutes before he could get
into a position to extricate himself. He
says while he was face downward he
could not get out from under the fiat,
but he managed to turn over on his
back and get his feet %andhands against
the bottom of the fiat and thus push
himself from under it. The tide car
ried him down to the Champion Com
press wharf n he got out after be-
ing about as near drowned as a man
ever was.
When he went back to the Carolina
Central wharves to see what had be-
come of his companion, they were
both naturally surprised, as each sup
posed the other had been drowned.
They had some Watermelons in the
boat, and lost them all.

The Case Of the scotch Terrier and the
Rat.

(Memphis Commercial-Appeal)
Editor of The Commercial-Appeal:
Regarding the Schley-Sampson con-
troversy. I would like TO PROFOUND a
riddle TO you. Mr.. Smith owns a
Scotch terrier that has some reputa-
ton as a rat killer. During his alb
senoe the dog runs a rat into the hole,
and X its place at the mouth OF IL.
After waiting for some time the rat
dashes out. the dog pursues, catches.
and kills il. Now, who deserves red
for killing the rat, the dog or the own
er. vERITAS.
We must confess that this is a very
delicate question. Our W opinion. ir-
respective of technical questions. Is
that the dog caught and killed the rat.
But we have submitted the case TO
Commodore Sampson, the board OF
paresis, and others, and u faith in
our judgment is badly shaken In the
first place, Mr.. Smith vas the owner
Of the dog. II he had not been the
owner of the dog, Mr.. Jones. Mr..
Brown. or somebody else would have
owned it. In his event the dog would
have not been on Mr.. Smiths premises,
and We are warranted in inferring that
the particular rat in question wou
not have been caught by this particu-
lar dog. Possibly If some other canine
had been present il would nave caught
the rat; hence the dog a at first
blush would seem to nave caught the
rodent, deserves no credit for the rat
would have been caught by some dog
or other, il the said dog or other had
been present. Besides, Mr.. Smith no
doubt got him a dog for the purpose
of killing rats, and, of course, he dis
posed of him in such a WI that when
the rats made an effort to escape, the
dog followed the admirable Instructions
aid down by Mr.. Smith, promptly clos
ed in on the rat, beached him and
wrung his neck. Under the Circum-
stances we are compelled TO say that
the dog vas acting under the command
of Mr.. Smith; and justice further re-
Quires us TO say that instead of the
dog deserving any credit. it was Mr..
Smith who watched the rat hole,
bounced upon the rat when he sailed
out of the harbor, firmly fixed his
teeth in the rats neck. shook hin un-
til he was dead and hen announced it
as a great Fourth of July victory.
