IN CUBA RECALLS
 SOME HISTORY
II Was in 1898 That New Disaster Hit Santiago When Sampson Sank the Spanish Fleet

Santiago de Cuba, Feb 3-UP) Dramatic scenes were recorded, national heroes were made, and a war was won in 1898, near Santi- ago de Cuba, scene of the earth quake reported to have killed scores and destroyed part of the city early to-day.
 It was in Santiago in 1898 that Richmond P. Hobson sank the Merrimac to bottle up the Spanish fleet in the harbor.
 Near Santiago, the famous charge of the rough riders made Theodore Roosevelt and his cow boys of the western plains national heroes.
 Just off the town, Admiral Sampson, commanding the Amer ican fleet completely destroyed the spanish fleet.
 Hobson, with crew of seven men, conceived the scheme of sink ing the collier Merrimac at the entrance to the harbor. Inside was the Spanish fleet under Ad- miral Cervera.
 Hobson, in the early dawn, took the collier into the harbor under the fire of Spanish forts. The steering gear was disabled by a shell. The ship drifted too far and vas sunk in a broad part of the channel where it could not block the escape of the Spaniards.
 Hobson and his men abandoned the Merrimac on tiny raft. Ar ter drifting in the harbor, half frozen by icy water, they were picked up by a Spanish cutter and held as prisoners of war in Morro castle. After month of confine- nient, they were exchanged. On lIs return to the United States Hobson was lionized wherever he went.
 Army troops 10 cooperate with the navy under Sampson arrived off that port on June 29, 1898. The fierce consisted of 17,000 officers ard men, 16 light field guns, heav. artillery and 200 transport vehicles Regulars formed the greater par, ot the personnel with the excep. ton of three volunteer regiments
 One of these was the 1st volun- teer cavalry, known as the rougf riders, of which Theodore Roose. welt was lieutenant colonel, ant Leonard Wood, in command. 9th CT volunteer regiments were tht End Massachusetts and the 71s New York volunteers.
 On July 1. the Americans at. tackled the hill of San Juan, bar ring the direct road to Santiago and the village of Fl Caney. F Caney was successfully taken. Th' strong position of the Spaniards or San Juan made possible a stub born resistance which was success .S.l, until the rough riders, person aNy led by Roosevelt snd Wood caSried the crest of the hill in { rc1kless charge.
 lighting continued on July and S with considerable casualtie to bo$h sides. On the morning 0 July a\ a demand was sent to th' Spanish commander to surrender with the alternative of Lombard rient of>the city to begin on thu fourth of July.
 Meantime, on the morning 0 July 3, the Spanish fleet steamed slowly out of the harbor at San tiago. American warships cleared for action. Sampson's fleet mum bered the battleships Indiana.
