HOBSON'S PLANS ADOPTED.
DETERMINED EFFORT TO BE MADE TO
RAISE THE COLON


Washington. July 24-Lieutenant Hobson
came over from New-York last night and had
a long conference to-day with Assistant Secre-
tary Allen. Captain Bradford and several other
officers Of the Navy Department regarding the
raising of the Spanish cruiser CrstoDal Colon.
The lieutenant succeeded while in New YORK
in arranging with the Merritt q chapman
Wrecking Company for the execution or the
plans he had prepared for saving the vessels.
The wreckers have promised to get together the
pontoons. air bags and compressed air appar-
atus which will be required to lift and right the
vessel. and expect to start this material for
Santiago from New-York on fast vessel within
three DAYS Lieutenant Hobson is confident
that II the work can be undertaken before
cvclone sets In II will result successfully.
Secretary Long said to-day that the heuten-
ants plan for raising the Colon seemed entirely
feasible TO him. The plan involves methods
and appliances outside Of those usually en-
Moved in wrecking. They necessitate the use OF
air appliances of various kinds In r.ghting ana
raising the ship that rarely II ever before have
been used on vessels OF the size and weight Oh
tho Colon and although there Is some DOUBT OF
its success. the Navy Department officials think
the prize well worth the experiment
Lieutenant Hobson returned to New-fork this
afternoon. and will go to Santiago to supervise
the wrecking work.

RELATIVE OF AMERICAN COMMODORE ON
MISSION OF PEACE IN SPAIN.
Madrid. July 24.-Miss Jessie Schley. delegate
from the Peace Society Of Paris. has arrived at
Madrid with the intention. II is asserted Of talk
ing to members of the Cabinet with a "human-
tartan object"
Miss Jessie Schley. referred to in the foregoing

SPAIN AND PEACE PROSPECTS.
PRESENT EFFORTS TEND TO DIRECT
NEGOTIATIONS WITH UNITED
STATES MOVEMENTS OF
CARIISTS

London. July 25.-The Madrid correspondent
Of THE Times says:
Peace prospects have greatly improved dur
ing the last forty-eght hours The diplomatic
exploration OF Duke Almodovar de Rio, the For
eign Minister has been more practical than was
supposed and 1t is now toeraby certain that
the Governments efforts are entering new
phase, which may gradually lead TO tangible
suits.
The precise nature Of the change Is a secret;
but there is little doubt that it tends to direct
negotiations between Spain and the United
States, there being inclination to seek the
mediation Of any neutral Power. The moment
has arrived when America. having reached the
parting Of the ways. must choose between war
with a specific object and indefnable war Of
conquest
THE present pause in hostilities Is held to
prove that the United States is reluctant to
plunge into wider sphere of action and 1t may
be confidently predicted that il direct negotia-
tions are opened without delay both countries
will find their views the main point-the
future of Cuba-far from irreconcllable
THE growing d!ssensions between the Cuban
insurgents and the American authorities are
noted here with great satisfaction. and on all
sides I hear it said: II we must lcse Cuba it is
better that the islands should be annexed by
America because the traitors would thereby be
punished, and the enormous Spanish interests in
the island would be protected
THE French Embassy at Washington seems
the most likely channel for opening negotiations
and the semi-ofilca statement that America
intends to retain Porto Rico is regarded here
as hint to Spain to hurry up.
There is still much talk about Carlist in
trigues and preparations; but the Government
though vigilant and ready to act energetically
IL necessary, to think that at present
there Is no serious danger Of disturbances The
danger of republican movements is still less.
"Sefor Emilio Castelar, has just rendered
service to the cause of order by publishing
long letter. in which he impresses upon all good
Spaniards the necessity of sinking party differ
ences and remaining firmly united at the pres
ent critical moment.
Patriotism, like the church. says Sehor
Castelar,. imposes unity on us. and II unity does
not exist let us be silent upon the subject The
project of presenting him with an address OF
confidence, signed by 100000 Of his admiring
fellow citizens. has been indefinitely postponed"

GOVERNMENT WATCHING CARLISTs.

London. July 25.-The Madrid correspondent
Of THE Daily Mail" says:
"The Government Is closely watching the
Carlsts throughout the country. Carlist clubs
have been requested to furnish complete lists Of
members, with addresses, and many Will proba-
bly, close rather than comply.
II have reason to know that when the time
comes the outbreak will be general; but Don
Carlos will not give the signal until peace Is
concluded or until it is known that the peace
conditions will be such to provoke the people
to Indignation. Marquis De Cerralbo the repre-
sentative of Don Carlos here. has gone to Brus-
sells to confer with his chief"

PEACE AND ITS DIFFICULTIES

London, July 25.-The Madrid correspondent
of THE Daily News" telegraphing Sunday.
says:
THE efforts Of the Government toward peace
are meeting with almost insuperabe difficulties.
Ministerialists say that the chief obstacle is
President McKney's "impressionable charac-
ter which is more Influenced, they affect to be-
lieve. by his personal friends and the jingoes In
Congress than by diplomatic counsels.
1.-The President sometimes appears inclined,
they say. to negotiate for peace on reasonable
terms, but at others he seems determined upon
a war of conquest. with view Of convincing
Europe that the United States is a great mill

BROUGHT TO JAIL.

Sheriff Buchanan and deputy drove to
No. / township, where the men were
and arrested them and brought them to
town. As he stopped i'll front OF the
jail, the mob surrounded the buggy and
would have taken the men at once but
the sheriff said he would kill the first
man that laid his hands on them. There
was no one willing to lose his life on ac-
count Of the brutes, as their death was
but a question of a few hours, SO the
sheriff was allowed to take his prisoners
to the Jail. The crowd did not dispense,
but rather grew as the shades of night
came ON. The sheriff foresaw what was
going to happen, but he and his deputies
were helpless against the angry and eX-
cited crowd which stood without.
The prisoners were placed in the cage,
the stronghold Of the jail. and the sheriff
and other officers stood guard at the
foot Of the stairs. They did all they
could to prevent the jail being forced,
but as they looked out upon the sea Of
determined. angry faces they realized
that nothing but the blood of the guilty
would satisfy them.

THE JAIL ATTACKED.

1T was $40 o'clock when the mob, UNI
able any longer to restrain its fury, broke
down the jail door. The sheriff and dep
lities were oyerpowered and the crowd
rushed up the stairs toward the cell Of
the doomed men. The lock was broken,
the door opened and they were
hauled forth. The crowd called
to the sheriff to get a lamp,
but only lantern was TO be had.
BY this uncertain, fitful light. the mob
carried it's victims out The sheriff saw
that resistance was useless, so he made
no effort to Illustrate their work of ven
geance. The men were taken to 4 point
beyond the three-mile branch. They
were remarkably cool, considering that
they knew they were going TO a dreadful
death. They protested their innocence
all along the way. Rev. w. G. Alexand-
or. pastor Of the Presbyterian church,
walked by their side talking to them
and trying TO minister to them spiritually
When the place selected for the lynching
was reached, a halt was made. Mr.
Alexander tried to silence the crowd, so
he could pray for the doomed men. The
crowd could not be quieted. so lie prayed
while the crowd continued its excited
talk. The men were asked if they had Il
parting word to speak. They said they
were not guilty, and that was all.

HANGED on THE SAME TREE.

A tree was found on which were two
limbs about three feet apart. Over
these the ropes were thrown. The men
were mounted on two boxes about two
feet high. The moose was adjusted
around each mans neck, the box re-
moved, and the bodies dropped. A few
minutes after the drop 100 shots were
fired at the dangling bodies. ridding
them with bullets. The doctors who
were present pronounced the men dead
in thirteen minutes. Their bodies were
left hanging. They will be removed some
time tomorrow.
