THE HERO OF SANTIAGO.
Promotion in Store for Lieutenant
Hobson Under Consideration.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE promo
ton in store for Lieutenant Hobson, the
hero at Santiago, is under consideration
by the Navy Department. Acting Sec
retary Allen and Commodore Hich-
born, Chief of the Bureau of Naval
Construction, talked it over in a gen.
eral way to-day, but no conclusions
were reached. The department is de-
sirous of knowing what would be most
acceptable to Hobson himself and when
this is learned a recommendation will
be made to Congress, which that body
will doubtless carry into effect without
delay.
The present indications are that
Hobson will be taken out of the staff
and made a line officer, as that insures
not only an increase of pay, but an
opportunity to rise to the more con-
spicuous line position of Admiral. At
present Hobson is an assistant con-
structor. with the relative rank of
Lieutenant, junior grade. 1t develops,
however, that within the next four
weeks he would have secured promo
tion to the rank of Constructor, relative
rank full Lieutenant, in the usual
course of advancement. AS this rank
is already earned by length of service
it would hardly be an honor for Con-
gress to confer this rank upon him.
About the only expedient is to give him
a promotion in the line, probably as a
Lieutenant Commander or Commander,
where his pay would be greater than
1T would be in the staff service, and
the chances for future advancement
would be ample. There is some doubt,
however, whether an officer who has
shown much genius in the scientific
branch of the naval service would care
to leave that service for the line.
Congratulations will be sent to Hob
son as soon as there is an opportunity
to communicate to him, but while he
is prisoner at Santiago it is obviously
impossible for the naval authorities to
do more than convey their congratula-
tions and thanks to Admiral Sampson.
Representative Hartman of Montana
has introduced a joint resolution di-
recting the Secretary of the Navy to
have prepared and delivered suitable
medals of honor to Lieutenant Hobson
and each member of his crew for gall
liant, heroic and patriotic services rem
dered to the United States at Santiago
harbor on June 3, 1898. 1t appropriates
$500 for the purpose.
The record-union., 1898-06-07

with Admiral Cervera respecting an
exchange of prisoners. Cervera will be
allowed to select from the list persons
whom he is willing to take in exchange
for Constructor Hobson and the gallant
crew that manned the Merrimac on her
last run. Hobson's rank, relative. is
that of Lieutenant. junior grade, and
he stands at the head of that grade
in his corps. By the ordinary rules Of
exchange he would be about equivalent
to Captain in the army. The highest
grade officer among the Spanish cap
tives at Fort Mcpherson is a First
Lieutenant, SO that in order to equalize
the exchange it may be necessary for
Admiral Sampson to throw in with the
First Lieutenant one of the dozen Sec
ond Lieutenants among the prisoners
HObson's crew, none being command
grade. can be exchanged man for man
for six private soldiers among the pris-
oners of war;
When Sampson and Cervera have ar
ranged these details the list of prison.
ers to be exchanged will be submitted
to the War Department, which will di-
rect the commandant at Fort McPher-
son to send them to Key West to be
placed aboard a naval vessel and sent
to Santiago for transfer. All this will
take some time. The officials hardly
expect to complete the change in less
than two weeks at the earliest The
commandant at Fort Mcpherson report
ed to the War Department this morn
ing, in answer to inquiry, that all the
Spanish prisoners We're we'll and able
to travel.
Captain Sigsbee has gone back to
New York to join his ship, the St Paul
While in Washington he spent a good
deal of time before the Naval War
Board, and it is supposed that the men,
bers of the latter We're availing them
selves of the extensive knowledge of
the topography of Havana harbor and
of the character of the defenses there
possessed by Captain Sigsbee.
Friends of Captain Sigsbee are some
what chagrined over the discovery
that, without any intention of working
him an injustice, he has been Jumped"
in his standing on the naval list by his
Juniors in consequence of the Presi-
dents recommendations that the COM
manders of American warships in the
battle of Manila be advanced several
numbers. They are thoroughly conf
dent that this substantial injury threat
ems to be inflicted entirely through in
advertence, and that the officials will
take steps to remedy the matter now
that their attention is directed to it.
1t is possible that the easier way to
accomplish this would be to include
Captain Sigsbee himself in the list of
officers to be advanced, in recognition
of the splendid manner in which he
acquitted himself after the blowing up
of the Maine.
