LAURELs FOR HOBsON.
Washington, Sept 10. "A cablegram
received at the department from Com.
modore Watson stated that the sunken
Spanish warship Maria Teresa, off
the coast of Santiago, will be success
fully floated. This is a vindication
for Hobson," said a naval attache.
You know he was criticised and al
most overruled by the department
when he persisted in his belief that
two at least of Cervera's vessels could
be successfully hoated and added to
the American navy. The cable mes
sage received from Commodore Watson
shows that Hobson knew what he was
talking about and, If they will allow
him to follow out his own programme,
! believe he will float another of the
Spanish warships besides the Maria
Teresa. y
ALLEGED TAMpERlNG WITH MESSAGES.
Washington, Sept. l9-There are
rumors in circulation in the war de.
partment evidently based on more
than gossip, to the effect that Gen.
Miles has lost no time since his return
in having all the records in his case
looked up so as to prove to the presi-
dent that there has been some tamper.
ing with messages exchanged between
them and with their relations since
the war commenced. 1t Is claimed
that discoveries have been made OF a
documentary character which prove
Gen. Miles to be correct In his accuse.
tions, and that these have been sub
mitted to the president. There is talk
among Gen. Miles friends Of forci ny .
congressional inquiry.

Their 'keenness of scent is one Of the
