ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS DISPATCH BOAT WANDA
(off Santiago de Cuba), June ) (via
Kingston Jamaica, June 4.-(Copy-
right, 1888, by the Associated Press. }
Sixteen warships of the United States,
and 1000 men are drifting here under
the shadow of Cuba's towering noun
tains In the mountain side is a small
opening, a rift, that leads away, twist
ing and turning toward the city of San
tiago. Near this narrow harbor stream
lies the fleet of Admiral Cervera. All
day and all night the eyes of the
American sailors are fixed upon the
narrow entrance to the harbor, as the
warships slowly drift up and down past
it.
Perched on the side of the entrance
to the harbor is MORO Castle, which
for two centuries has looked down upon
all vessels entering there. On the oppo-
site points plants and tropical shrubs
grow rank and green, almost hiding
the battery that has been placed at
that point. Sailing along the shore,
four miles off, one would scarcely dis
tingush MORO Castle. 1t looks like
a thousand other rocky spurs that pro-
ject from the mountain sides all along
the eastern shore of the island.
This is the picture of the Santiago
blockade to-day The landscape is one
of great beauty. The mountain seem
ery is majestic. Great peaks, green
robed, rise 5000 feet above the sea
with sunlit clouds obscuring them and
then drifting away from their glowing
SUBMITS. Down in the deep shadowed
blue at their base the warships, silent
and grim, drifting, waiting for the bat
tie. At night the moonlight makes a
beautiful picture of the mountains I'm
agine the ocean washing from the hills
of the rocky mountains with a tropical
sky above all, and you have picture
of Santiago de Cuba.
No attempt is made by the fleet to
go into the harbOr. Mines are near
the entrance, and it would be suicidal
for large ships to attempt to enter. So
there is nothing to do but sail up and
down past the harbor mouth, hoping
the Spanish ships may again show
themselves or come out for an open
battle.
The Spaniards have plainly laid a
trap for the American ships. The har-
bors are mined, batteries have been
the Spaniards are we'll equipped with
good guns and smokeless powder But
the Americans will not fall into the
trap. One ship has been sacrificed, but
if blown up and sunk it will block the
harbor and prevent the Spaniards from
getting out.

Naval Constructor Hobson, whose
name is on every lip in Washington to-
night, is well known at the Navy De-
partment, as he served in the Bureau
OF Construction for several years. His
associates regarded him as combining
great ability as a student, with the &C.
centricity often accompanying genius.
Gals Of the Department that Hobson
was a man who held naval regulations
concerning matters of form in con-
tempt, and was oblivious to official
rules. These daredevil characteristics
were offset, however, by his recognized
ability in all branches of naval science,
particularly naval architecture. AL
though the youngest man in his class.
he gained a signal honor at the Acad-
emy which led to his being sent by the
schools Of Europe. Here he gained
new honors. On returning to this
country he served with the Depart
ment and also saw sea service, and
about year ago became instructor in
naval architecture at the Naval Acad-
emy at Annapolis. When the war
broke out he asked for active service,
and at the same time insisted on tax
ing three naval cadets of his class with
him, in order that they might gain the
advantage of practical experience on
shipboard during the war. AS re-
suit, he and his three cadets were as
signed for service on Admiral Samp-
sons flagship. 1t was the prevailing
expression at the Department that
Hobson was just the character to take
the lead in such a hazardous feat as
that of sinking the Merrimac. 1t is
presumed that Admiral Sampson chose
him from among many volunteers, ow
ing to the fact that his expert knowl-
edge of naval construction would per-
NIT him to sink the Merrimac in such
position as to prove most effective IN
blockading the channel.
Constructor Hobson is a native of AL
ALBANIA, and is a great-nephew of Gov
ernor John Morehead of North Carolina
His father was well-known lawyer
and Judge of that State. On the ma
ternal line he is a grandson of Chief
Justice Pearson of North Carolina, an1
a nephew of Representative Pearson of
North Carolina. He is a greatgrand-
son of former Senator Williams of Ten
neSSee.

 MaleSherbes, in deep distress, went to the temple, and as Clery hastily came forward to meet him he told him that it was all over and tkst the king had been sentenced. As Malesherbes came into the kings presence the latter said to him. For tle last two hours have teen examining my conscience and seeking whether during the course of my reign 1 have voluntarily given my subjects any cause for complaint against me. Well. l can declare in all the sin cerity of my soul, as. a man about 10 ap- pear before God, that have constantly strivcn for the happiness of my people and that have not indulged in a single wish contrary to 1t. ''
 This was too much for Malesherbes, who fell on his knees, sobbing so as to be unable to speak The king tried to comfort him, saying that he had ex- pected what such grief announced and that it was better to know his fate.
 The three counsel urged him to try to appeal to the nation. He consented re- luctantly, being convinced that 1t would be useless. De Seze and Tronchet then retired, but the king detained Male sherbes, who was still overcome with grief. My friend. do not weep he said, pressing his hand.

The German Tribes.

Wo know nothing of the German tribes until about 100 E. C. Suddenly they loom up in the north, aEgr, ssive foes of the Romans. For some time they were held in check by the stubborn resistance of the legions, until finally, when the restraining hand of Rome was withdrawn. they spread all over west ern Europe in the fourth and fifth cen turies of our era Such are the well known historic facts. Let us see what archaeology may add to them. The first investigators of ancient burial grounds in southern Germany unearthed two distinct types of skulls.
 The round headed variety was quite like that of the modern peasantry round about The other dOlichOcephalic type was less frequent, but strongly marked in places. An additional feature of these latter was noted at once. They were generally found in burial places of a peculiar kind An easterly sloping hill was especially preferred, on which The skeletons lay feet toward the rising sun-probably a matter of religious i'm portance. The bodies were also regu- larly disposed in long rows, side by side, a circumstance which led Ecker to term them Reihengraber, or row graves Other archRologists, by study of the personal effects in the graves, succeeded in identifying these people with the tall blond TeutOnic invaders from the north. Such graves are found all through Germany as far north as Thu ringia- They bear witness that Teutonic blood infltrated through the whole pop ulation. - Professor W. z Ripley in Popular Science Monthly.
