1889. The following is a detailed story of
the act of heroism performed by Lieut..
Richmond p. Hobson and his seven COM
panions in sinking the collier Merrimac
across the channel leading into the harbor
of Santiago de Cuba:
The Spanish fleet is now helpless, being
held captive in Santiago de Cuba harbor.
The narrow channel leading into the harbor
was completely blocked early this morning
when the United States collier Merrimac
was sunk across the entrance. 1t is now
impossible for the Spaniards to get out,
and 1t is equally impossible for any vessel
to get into the harbor. Therefore. the
Spanish frst-class armored cruisers Maria
Teresa, Cristobal Colon, Vizcaya and Ad-
miranto Oquerdo. with the two torpedo
boat destroyers Furore and Pluton, are no
longer OF any use to Spain. The result was
accomplished through the heroism of Lieut..
Richmond p. Hobson, assistant naval con-
structor, and Daniel Montague. George

SarsaparilIa.
Yes, scrofula, ffanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge Of the world offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendurable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, 50 far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of taint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with I'M
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
! A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
riIla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.

to the outlining of a general policy
and the formal tion of letters of inquiry
which will be made public Tuesday.
The letters which have been decided
upon have been addressed to the secre-
tary of war, the quartermaster gener-
a., the commissary general, the SUR
geon general and the chief of the ord
nance department Of the army. They
will consist in the main of inquiries in
tended to bring out ell the facts that
can be given relative to the organiza-
ton of the volunteer army. These Of
fcials will be asked to give specific
information so as to cover each OF the
departments in question, concerning
the condition of the army both at
the beginning and the close of the
war. For this purpose a'date in April
has been selected as the one for the be-
ginning of the preparation and anoth-
er in August for the close.
The questions are so formulated as
to cail out answers covering the or
ganization of camps, the purchase of
supplies and the making of contracts
with transportation companies, and
also to show the methods adopted for
furnishing supplies to the various
commands and for protecting the
heath of the soldiers. There will be
an especial effort to develop the mo-.
tives that actuated the department in
the choice of camp sites, as there have
been charges to the effect that they
were located as a matter of favoritism
to railroad companies.
The commission also considered sew
eral letters of complaint from persons
protesting to have information bear
ing upon the subject of investigation,
and decided to address replies to the
writer of each of them, requesting
each of them to put their charges
in specific shape and informing them
of the scope of the inquiry, 1t
is intended that If the replies re-
ceived to these letters show the
writers to be in possession of real in
formation to summon them before the
commission when it is feast BILE to do
so, or otherwise to secure their affi-
davits. When, however, it becomes
evident that their accusations are
aiere idle complaints with no informs.
