I O'clock. 1 feared that they had all per-
ished. A steam launch which had been
sent In charge Of Naval-Cadet Powell
to rescue the men appeared at this time,
coming out under a persistent fire OF the
batteries, but 1t brought none Of the
crew. A careful inspection of the har-
Dor from this ship showed that the ves-
sci Merriflac had been sunk In the
channel.
"This afternoon, the chief of staff Of
Admiral CeIyera came out, under flag
of truce, with a letter from the Admiral,
extolling the bravery OF the crew in an
unusual manner. cannot myself too
earnestly express my appreciation Of the
conduct of Mr.. Hobson and his gallant
crew. 1 venture to say that a more
brave and daring thing has not been
done since Cushing blew up the Abe
marie.
Referring to the inspiring letter which
you addressed to the officers at the be-
ginning Of the war, am sure you will
offer a suitable professional reward to
Mr.. Hobson and his companions. l
must add that Commander ]. NJ. Miller
relinquished his command with the very
greatest reluctance, believing he should
retain his command under all circum-
stances. He was, however, finally con-
vinced that the attempt OF another per-
son 10 carry out the multitude of de-
tails which had been in preparation by
Mr. Hobson might endanger its proper
execution. l therefore took the liberty
to relieve him, for this reason only.
There were hundreds or volunteers who
were anxious TO participate. There were
80 from the Iowa. nearly as many from
this ship, and large number from all
the other ships. officers and men alike.

upon Mr.. Hobson for his professional

interest in the problem. After several
days consideration he presented a solu-

the Immediate sinking of the ship when
she reached the desired point in the
channel. This plan we prepared for ex-
ecution when we reached Santiago. The
plan contemplated crew Of only seven
men, and Mr.. Hobson, who begged that
it might be entrusted to him. The an
chor-chains were arranged on deck for
the anchors both forward and aft, the
plan including the anchoring of the ship
almost automatically.
"As soon as 1 reached Santiago and
had the collier TO work upon, the details
were completed, and diligently prose-
