ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: There is possibility that be- fore the Spanish sailors are sent north something will be done looking to the exchange of Hobson and the men un- der his command for some of the offi- cers who were on board the Spanish warships. Assistant Naval Construc- tor Hobson has the rank of lieutenant of the junior grade, and under the rules of civilized warfare he should be eX- changed for an officer of equal rank. The department, however, is willing to waive the question of rank, and will give an officer of the grade of com mander, or of captain, if necessary, to obtain an exchange of the American heroes.
 It is not believed the Spanish will surrender Hobson and the men with him at this time on account of the knowledge they have of Santiago's de- lenses. This was the plea made by the Spanish Government several weeks ago when Il announced that l. must decline to exchange the Americans. The authorities have not forgotten Hobson and the others of the Merrimac, and propose to do everything possible to effect their release as speedily as OOsSihle

 KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 5.-News has reached here that after General Taral the Spanish commander at San tiago, had refused to comply with Gen. eral Shaftcrs second demand for the surrender of the city the foreign con- suls in Santiago united in demand that there be a cessation of hostilities until the 30,000 foreigners in the city could be removed from danger. It was their intention to take these people out and put them under the protection of the United States. The American com mander declined to comply with this demand, and told the consuls that they should insist on the surrender of the city. The consuls had another confer ence and decided to act on this advice. A formal demand has now been served by the consuls and they are waiting the reply of the Spaniards.

In this plan the part that was to be played by each ship in every contingency that could be foreseen was laid down and each commanding officer was given instruc- tions as to what he was expected to do.
 When the contingency which Admiral Sampson had foreseen arrived there was little time for Commodore Schley to give orders, but he and the captains of the ships promptly realized the sit uation and carried out the plans of the admiral with such changes as the ac- tions of the Spanish ships made neces- Sary.

SUMNER SCHOOLS SCORED.

Lively Discussion ut the Minnesota Teach.

ST.. PAUL, Dec. 2s.-Judging from the
sentiments expressed just before the
close of the initial session of the 86th an
nual convention Of the Minnesota Edu-
c%ational association. there will develop
strong hostility to the continuance of the
present system of state summer schools.
just before the close Of the morning
session. Professor Bryant. chairman Of
an Old committee, appointed some time
ago to investigate the system Of state
ummer schools. submitted a report.
The report in some respects endorsed
the system. but suggested radical
changes whereby it could be improved
and the efficiency Of the schools trebled.
1t seemed to be the opinion Of the
teachers and professors that the present
system is inadequate.
Superintendent Parr Of st. Cloud had
very pronounced opinions regarding the
character Of these summer SCHOOLS.
Last summer he visited twelve in All
official capacity, and said that of these
eight had no good reason for existence.
The summer school was doing some
good in arousing enthusiasm and esprit
de corps, but few really accomplished
much in the way of fitting teachers for
their work. The trouble was that the
teachers were not far enough advanced,

were taught.
