1t was dark when shout was passed
along the ship that Hobson was coming.
On the superstructure olambered the
crew, ten deep and on the quarter deck
the officers clustered around the sea ladder
and hundred hands were stretched out
to grasp Hobson's. 1t was not until he
was safe once more on deck that the crew
of the New York cheered, and then they
broke into wild yell which went up over
and over again until the men were hoarse.

men struggled around the tall figure of
the man who had dared so much.
Behind Hobson came Col. John Jacob
Astor, and the first thing Hobson tried to
do was to introduce him to the officers,
but Col Astor got lost in the crowd
which surged around insisting upon
shaking Hobson's hand. The transports
blew their whistles. Hobson sat once

In view of the prospective visit of the

the means of repelling an attack and pre-
venting landing are miserably made

on the heights overlooking the harbor,
six obsolete field guns north of the Mole,
six gun battery in the artillery bar

Regiment and Battalion Ready To
Sail.

Charleston, S. c., July s.-The cruisers
Yale and Columbia, with the sixth
Massachusetts and one battalion of the
sixth lllionis aboard, tonight, lie off the
lightship at the entrance of the harbor
and probably will sail before daybreak
for Cuba. The EN- mbarkation of the troops
began at midday. They were marched to
the wharf where the steamers Commodore
Perry and Planter were in waiting. The
men went on board and amid the cheers
of the spectators and the men of other
regiments, steamed down the harbor in
the face of q heavy rain storm. The work
of trsns-shipping the soldiers was accom-
plished without mishap.
By some mistake one company of the
9th Massachusetts was left on the wharves
when the steamers started. Adjutant
Butler Ames. promptly chartered tug
and took them out to the transports.
General Nelson A. Miles and his staff
arrived in the city at G. 80 p. m. At eight

MINISTER'S DIVIDED.
Peace and War Party In
Spain.

Madrid, July s, sp. m.-La Corre-
spondenoia de Espana says that there is
feeling, almost amounting 60 belief
that the United States warships Oregon,
Texas and New York are now on their
way to Spain and that precautions are
beings taken at all the seaports to avoid a
surprise. The ministers are divided in
their opinion as to the advisability of i'm
mediate negotiations for peace. The war
party is inclined to adopt the view of
Marshal Martinez Campos, who considers
that the army must first by a notable
victory wipe out the defeat of tho navy.
The peace party urges direct negoti-
ations with the United States rather than
through Powers. whose selfishness has
allowed Spain to be crushed by strong
enemy and who may now intrigue for
harder condition, desiring to profit by
her dismemberment.
