Behind the order relieving Captain
Daniel v. Hodgston Of the MoCulioch,

goodby to his family in Detroit before
starting on his long cruise from Balti-
more TO San Francisco by the eastern
route, there was no immediate prospect
OF war. and the only dangers apparent

mariner is ordinarily accustomed. When
he reached Hongkong, war had been
declared, and the McCulloch was attach

that unless Captain Hodgston was rcliev-

Under this statement Of facts Captain

Torpedo Destroyer May
Have Been Sunk.
SHOT AT BY BLoCKADERS
Az Act Of Incarnate Cruelty to
Lieut.. Hobson's Party.
PLACED IN DIRECT LINE OF FIRH.

Kingston, jam. June 7.--whether the
boat destroyer on Friday night has not
been absolutely confirmed. At 10 o'clock
!. Friday night the New Orleans discovered
what appeared to be a destroyer close
to the shore. and signalled the New York
that II was evident a night torpedo at
York and New Orleans opened fire, and
their shells burst around the dark object.
Finally q 1s-inch shell from the Massa-
chusetts was fired and exploded, and the
searchlights OF the vessels were turned
,n the spot where the supposed de-
troyer had been sighted, but not trace
the boat could be found. and IL Is be-
leved aboard the New York that she
kas sunk.
The first assumption was that the yes
sel was the Terror: but II is believed now
that II was the Pluton or the Furor. as
the Terror is now understood to have
been at Santiago. On Saturday two
Schwarzkopf torpedoes were found float
ing two miles south of Moro. This is
the class of torpedo used by the Spanish.
and one OF the two found had only e
practice head Many officers OF the (
believe that a darkened railway n
that was moving along the shore was e
zeal object OF the bombardment instead
Of destroyer. No wreckage has beSn
found. no dead bodies have been noticed
and 1t is possible that the torpedoes were
some OF those fired at the Merrimac when
Lieutenant Hobson sank her, which SUBJ
eequently fioated outside Of the harbor.
Admiral Sampson is determined not to
allow the SPaBish to remove the Merri-
mac from the spot where she lies. On
Saturday II was reported that the Span
iards We're working at the hull. and the
American fleet formed In line OF battle
with orders to lombard. 1t turned out
that the enemy was not so engaged. and
the fleet withdrew. Admiral Sampson
has given orders that Morro, where the
heroes of the Merrimac are imprisoned,
should be spared In the firing. Admiral
Cervera's polite assurances were accom-
panied by the statement that Lieuten-
ant Hobson and his men were confined
there. This placing of prisoners I'm the
direct line of fire is denounced by the
American officers as a 18th century de-
Tense. an act OF incarnate cruelty.

payment of the increase from July lst to the
date of any intended reputation of the
former agreement.
Believing it to be the desire of your hon
orable body to carry out the original agree
ment, your committee respectfully recon-
mends the passage of the original amend
ment to the salary ordinance.
''In the matter of the amendment made in
open council to the original amending ordi-
nance, as submitted by the city attorney,
to-wit: The provision for increasing the
salary of all chief deputies to 500 per month,
your committee finds that no provision has
been made in the annual appropri = ions for
the proposed increase, yet it is entirely with
in the province of your honorable body to
make such provision, dating from the cur
rent month, if sufficient funds can be made
available therefor"
When the report of the committee had
been read, Mr.. Toll moved that the amend
ment as offered be adopted. This was sec
onded by Mr.. Mathuss, but objected to by
Mr.. Nickel, who stated that, in his opinion,
the council had no right or power to pass
such an amendment.
Mr.. Ashman said he would vote for the
amendment, but wanted the position of chief
deputy in the city clerks office to be added
to the list, increasing the salary from 800 to
500 a month.
President Silver informed the gentleman
he was out of order and instructed the clerk
to call the roll. The vote resulted in five
ayes and one no. AS it requires six votes,
or two-thirds of the council, to pass an ordi-
nance relative to the expenditure of money,
the motion was defeated.
The second clause providing for an in
crease of salary of all chief deputies met with
the same fate.
