SAN FRANCISCO, June 6—The orders for the Mohican to sail for Honolulu came unexpectedly Saturday night. She was then at Mare Island. Without delay the marine guard taken from the Pensa cola and transferred to the Mohican, which arly Sunday morning came down to this ity and anchored near the Monterey. A few stores and a large quantity of mail was put on board, and at 1:3) the anchor was weighed. As she passed out of the Golden Gate the warship saluted by all the steam vessels in the bay. As there now no regular line of steamers tween this city and Honolulu, the Monterey and Mohican will take the entire mail now here addressed to the Hawalian Islands. The next mail will go in six days on the Moano. The coast defense vessel Monterey and éollier Brutus, which will probably get away this evening or early Tuesday morn- will go to Honolulu at a uniform speed of about ten knots an hour. At this rate it will take them nine days to cover the distance. Going ten knots an hour, the Monterey has enough coal aboard to take her to Honolulu, but, if forced to a greater speed, the consumption of coal would be so great that the supply would be burned up in six days, or twenty-four hours before her destination could be “reached. After triving at Honolulu the Monterey will be recoaled, and will then start for Manila in tow of the Brutus. Artillery Goes Into Camp. Four batteries of the United States artil- lery will go into camp today, under com- mand of Majer Hess, on the parade plain at the Presidio, near the 6th California In- fantry. Batterizs A and B of the Califor- nia Volunteer Artillery have been attached to the 3d Artillery Regiment. The Minnesota men are confident that they will go to Manila with General Mer- ritt. They base their hopes on th2 fact that the new governor general of the Phil- ippines is a personal friend of Colonel Reeves and is also acquainted with many of the officsrs and men in the regiment. A recruiting station for Company A, Bat- talion of Enginzers, will be opened tomor- row. a The California Christian Endeavor Union is making: strenuous efforts to obtain per- mission for one of its active workers to go to Manila with the next exp2dition, In order that the Minnesota regiment may be raised to the maximum’ war footing by the addition of recruits from home, a de- hment of three officers and tw:lve men has been ordered to proceed to Minneapolis and St. Paul and there collect 300 men, 25 for each company. For this duty Major Fredericks of Red Wing, Captain Corriston of Minnzapolis, Lieutenant Merrill of St. Paul and one enlisted man from each of the twelve companies have been named. On a similaf mission for the Kansas regi- ment Lieutenant Colonel Little has detailed Capt. John Tower, Company A; Capt. D. 8. EMott, Company G; First Lieut. Lafayette mith and four enlisted men.

LATIMER REMOVED HIS office from New York ave. to 1317 New York ave. myo-8t REWARDING DEWEY’S CAPTAINS. General Satisfaction at the Action of the President. The President's action in advancing the officers who achieved.the famous victory at Mantla gives almost universal satisfac- tion to the rank and file of the navy. The only exceptions are the few officers on shore duty who have been “jumped.” As @ general proposition it is agreed by all disinterested naval men that officers who have risked their lives in an actual engage- ment with the enemy are entitled to con- sideration before other men in the service stationed in places of safety regardless of the value or extent .of the service per- formed by the latter. This principle has been regarded by Congress and the execu- tive in the case of Admiral Dewey and his brave associates on the Asiatic station and will undoubtedly be followed in the case of Naval Constructor Hobson and the seven courageous enlisted men who accompanied him in his perilous and highly sucessful expedition in the harbor of Santiago. The friends of Captain Sigsbee are some- what chagrined over the discovery that without any intention of working him an injustice he has been “jumped” in his standing on the naval list by his juniors in’ consequence of the President’s recom- mendation that the commanders of the American warships in the battle of Manila be advanced several numbers. They are thoroughly confident that this substantial injury threatens to be inflicted entirely through inadvertence, and that the of- ficials will take steps to remedy the matter now that their attention is directed to it. It is posisble that the easiest way to ac- complish this would be to include Captain Sigshee himself in the list of officers to be advanced in recognition of the splendid manner in which he acquitted himself after the blowiag up of the Maine. Capt. Wildes, who commanded the cruiser Boston. at Manila, and wko was the senior captain im that engagement, has been ad- vanced five numbers, carrying him over the heads of Capts. Glass, commanding the Menterey; Cooper, superintendent of the Naval Academy; Taylor, commanding the Indiana; Wadleigh, ecmmanding the Bos- ton navy yard, and Crowninshield, chief of the bureau of navigation, and putting him on the list just below Capt. Evans, com- manding the battle ship Iowa. It was only ia justice to the special services of the last named officer that Capt. Wildes was advanced only five rumbers. Capi. Dyer, ho commanded the Baltimore, was ad- vanced seven numbe and Capt. Coghian and Capt. Gridley, who commanded the Raleigh and Olympia, respectively, were each advanced six numbers, at the sacri- fice of Capts. Harrington, Ludlow, Cook, Chester, Clark, Barclay, Sigsbee, Leary and Whiting, ail of whom hold important commands afloat. Dyer is the only one of the three who “jumped” Sigsbee of the Mai Coghlan and Gridley being senior to r. Cept. Lamberton, who was Dewey's chief of staff, wes advanced seven numbers, pitting him ahead of such well- krown officers as Capt. O'Neil, chief of the bureau of ordnance, and Capts. Whiting, Goodrich and Chadwick and Commanders Jewell and Folger. Commander Wood of the Petrel and Com- mander Walker of the Concord received the largest advance, however, ten and nine nembers, respectively They are both rather low down in their grade at present. Statute sanctions this methed of reward- ing meritorious serv and it was cus- tcmary during the civil war. That it was not over-done in the case of the officers of the Manila squadron is shown by the fact that while the statutes authorize an ad- vancement of thirty numbers, none of the officers in question was advanced more than ten numbers. Many of the officers who were “jumped” by these advancements are now in command of warships and may yet render service which will cause their promotion, but there is no such prospect in store for the officers performing safe, though impertant, duties at the Navy De- partment or other shore stations. ‘These officers are also deprived of the char of adding to their fortunes by the seizure of prizes—so it is no ‘wonder that mest of them prefer the more dangerous, but amore profitable, assignments attoat. a — URGEON BAYN A Well-Known Washington cian to Serve in the Army. Dr. John W. ne of this city, who has been recently appointed by the President a brigade surgeon, is a native of Maryland and a son of the late John H. Bayne, who Was a surgeon in the late war and was brevetted lieutenant colonel. Dr. Bayne is a graduate of the University of Maryland and was for eleven years an acting assist- ant surgeon in the United States army. He is the president of the medical staff of Physi- Providence Hospital, and a member of the active surgical staff, to which work he. has devoted many years of his life. He is also clinice! professor of surgery in the George- town Medical Colleg>, and for eight years Was one of the surgeons in the police and fire departments of this city. He is vice president of the Sons of the American Revo- lution, a society in which he takes great interest. eS Prizes to Be Uged as Transports. The government has decided to take for use as transports at least four of the ves- sels which have been captured from the Spanish by United States warships. Au- thority for this action is found in section 4,624 of the Revised Statutes. When prize property is appropriated to the use of the government, the department taking it is to deposit the value thereof with the assistant United States treasurer, nearest to the place of the session of “the court. The money {is then subjected to the order of the court as to the distribution to be made among the officers and the seamen making the capture of the vessel or other property The four ships which the government has decided to take are the Panama, Guido, Pe- dro and the Argonauta. By this step the War Department will secure four extra ships for use in the West Indian campaign and the beneficiaries under the law may ob- tain a greater amount than if the vessels were sold to private individuals or corpo- ns. ——__-o-_______ Bids for Cartridges. . The ordnance bureau of the War Depart- ment has received bids for furnishing to the government 500,000 standard ball cart- Tldges for-the Colts 45-caliber revolver and 1,000,000 ball cartridges for the Colts 38- caliber revolver, the government reserving the right of adding to the rate of Ryan & say capped ting proposals St any oe p i it have contracts, HOBSON'S BRAVE ACT Detail Story of the Sinking of the All the Chances Carefully Weighed by the Daring Officer. CHEERED BY SHIPMATES The Associated Press, under date of June 3, gives the following detail story of the sinking of the collier Merrimac in the chan- nel of Santiago harbor: The narrow chan- nel leading into the harbor was completeiy blocked eariy this morning when the United States collier Merrimac was sunk across its entrance. It is now impossiole for the Spaniards to get out, and it is cqually impossible for any vessel to get into the harbor. Therefore, the Spantsh first-class armored cruisers Maria Teresa, Cristobal Colon, Vizcaya and Almirante Oquendo, with the two torpedo boat de- stroyers, Furor ard Plutoh, are no longer of any use to Spain. This result was ac- complished through the heroism of Lieut. Richmond P. Hobson, assistant naval con- structor, and Daniel Montague, George Charette, J. C. Murphy, Oscar Deignan, John P. Phillips, John Kelly and H. Clau- sen. The latter, a coxswain of the New York, took part in the expedition ‘against orders. They were all captured by the Spaniards; but the Spanish admiral in recognition of their bravery sent word to the American admiral, under a flag of truce, that he was willing to exchange the prisoners and assuring the American com- mander that they would be treated with the greatest kindne: Money and_pro- visions have been sent to them and the necessary steps are being taken to bring about their exchange. The three men from the Merrimac’s crew were all green hands and shipped recently for the war. The Merrimac had on board six hundred tons of coal when she was scuttled across the channel. Started at 3 A. M. Lieut. Hobson started on his daring er- rand at 3 o’clcck this morning. The Mer- rimac was lying to the westward. Under cover of the clouds over the moon, she stole in toward the coast and made her way to the eastward, followed by a steam launch from the New York, with the fol- lowing crew on boara Naval Cadet J. W. N.Y. P. K. Peterson, coxswain. H. Handford, apprentice of the first class. J, Mullings, coal passer. G. L. Russell, machinist of the second Powell of Oswego, cl In the launch were bandages and appli- ances for the wounded. From the crowded decks of the New York nothing could be seen of 4he Merrimac after she had got under the shadow of the hills. For half an hour officers and men strained their eyes peering into“the gloom, when, suddenly, the flash‘of & gun streamed out from Morro Castle, and: then all on board the New York knew the Merrimac was nearing her end. The guns from the Span- ish battery opposite Morro Castle answered quickly with more flashes, and for about twenty minutes flashes/of fire seemed to leap across the harbor-entrance. The flagship was too! far away to hear the reports, and when the firing ceased it was judged that Ha@bson had blown up the Merrimac. For an,hour the anxious watch- rs waited for daylight. Rear Admiral Sampson and Captain .hadwick. were on the bridge of the New York throughout. Fired on py Batteries. At 5 o'clock thin streams of sraoke were seen against the western shore, quite close to the Spanish batteries, and strong glasses made cut the launch of the New York re- turning to the flagship. Scarcely had the small craft been sighted before a puff of smoke issued from a battery on the west ern arm of the harbor and a shot plunged far over the launch. Then, for fifteen min- utes, the big guns ashore kept up an irreg- ular fire on the little launch. As the shells fell without hitting the object <hey were intended for, the men on board the New York jeered at the Spanish marksmanship and cheered their shipmates. At 6:15 a.m. the launch came alongside the flagship, but she did not have on board any of the crew of the Merrimac. Cadet Powell reported that he had been unable to see any signs of the Merrimac’s crew. It devi ped that, with great bravery, the cadet had gone right under the batterie: and only returned when all hope of taking on board the crew of the Merrimac had to be_abandoned. cadet Powell also reported that he had clearly seen the Merrimac’s mests stick- ing up just where Hobson hoped to sink her, north of the Estrella battery and well past the guns of Morro Castle. But of the eroes who had penned#the Spaniards in there was not a sound or a sign. * Rear Admiral Sampson said: “‘] am pret- ty sure the attempt was quite successful. I hope all those brave fellows are not cap- tured.” ¢ Cadet Powell believes the torpedoes pre- viously fixed about the Merrimac were ex- ploded as planned, as Lieut. Hobson was well up the harbor before the Spaniards opened fire on the Merrimac. * Mr. Hobson's Plans. What actually happered on voard the Merrimac can best be judged from what Lieut. Hobson said just before leaving the flagship. Sitting in his cabin, his face browned by the sun and his eyes flashing with exchtement, he remarked: “I shall go right into the harbor until about four hundred yards past the Estrella battery, which is behind Morro Castle. I do not think they can sink me before I reach somewhere near that point. The Merrimac has seven thousand tens buoyancy, and 1 shall keep her full speed ahead. She can make about ten knots. When the narrow- est part of the channel is reached I shall put her helm hard aport, stop the engines, drop the anchors, open the sea connections, touch off the torpedoes and leave the Mer- rimac a wreck, lying athwart the channel, which is not as broad as the Merrimac 1s long. Thefe are ten’eight-inch improvised torpedoes below the water line, on the Merrimac’s port side. They are placed on her side against the bulkheads and vital Spots. connected with each other by a wire under the ship's keel. Each torpedo con- tains eighty-two pounds of gunpowder. Each torpedo is also connected with the bridge, and they should do their work in a minute, and it will be quick work even if Cone in a misute-and a quarter. “On deck there Yi ge four men and myself. In the engine room there will be two other men. T! the total crew, and all of us will be in,our underelothing, with revolvers and 74mfnunition in water- tight packing strappe@ around our waists. Forward there ‘willbe a man on deck, and around his waist wil] be,;a line, the other end of the line being made fast to the bridge, on which I°wilf stand. By that man’s side will be aY ax?) When I stop the engine I shall jerk cthis cord, and he will thus get the signal tp cut the iashing which will be holding the forward anchor. He will then jurmp overboard, and swim to the four-oared dingy ich we shall tow astern. The dingy ts fulf of lifebuoys and {s unsinkable. In it are'rifles. It is to be held by two ropes, one *made fast at her bow and one at her'steth. The first man to reach her will haut ! the tow line and pull the dingy out to statboard. The next to leave the ship are the rest of the crew. The quartermaster at the wheel will not leave until after having put it hard aport and lashed it so. He will then jump over- Stop the Engines and Jump: “Down below the man at the reversing gear will stop the engines, scramble up on deck and get over the side as quickly as possible. ‘ e “The m}n in the engine room will break open the sem connections with a sledge hammer and will foliow his teader into the water. This last step insures the of the Merrimac w! the torpedoes! het or not. sar toe se this time I calculate men will be in the dingy ‘and the Merrimac will S855 “APENTA,” THE NATURAL APERIENT ‘Water. “Must ic Err k 5 ee have swung athwart the channel, to the full length of ber three hundred yards of cable, which will have been paid out be- fore the anchors were cut loose. “Then all that is left for me is to touch the button. 1 shall stand on the starboard side of the bridge. The explosion will throw the Merrimac on her starboard side. Nothing on this side of New York city will be able to raise her after that.” “And you expect to come out of this alive?” asked a companion of the lieuten- ant. “Ah, that is another thing,” said the lieu- tenant. He was so interested in the me- chanical details of the scheme that he scarcely stopped to talf® of life and death. But in reply to frequent questions Hobson said: “I suppose the Estrella battery will fire down on us a bit, but the ships will throw their searchlights in the gunners’ faces and they won't see much of us. Then, if we are torpedoed we should even then be able to make the desired position in the channel. It won't be so easy to hit us, and I think the men should be able to swim to the dingy. I may jump before I am blown up, but I don’t see that it makes much difference what I do. I have a fair chance of life either way. If our dingy gets shot to pieces we shall then try to swim for the beach right under Morro Cas- tle. We shall keep together at all hazards. Then, we may be able to make our way Lieut. Hobson. alongside and perhaps get back to the ship. We shall fight the sentries or a squad until the last, and we shall onty surrender to overwheiming numbers, and our sur- render will only take piace as a last and as a most uncontempiated emergency.” HOBSON'S BRAVE CREW. Information From the Records of the Navy Department. Information afforded by the official rec- ords of the Navy Department as to the full names and antecedents of the gallant who made up Hobson's little crew nking the Merrimac differs in some essentials from the data furnished through the dispatch boats. The naval list is about as follows: Daniel Mc the w Yor!

It is felt that his feat involved a display of quite as much co: age us was shown by the Merrimac ¢ and he is likely to profit by it. Young known as “One of Hot When Hobson joined the squad- secured permission from the au- to teke with him three young ron thorities naval cadets from the academy at Annapo- he lis. They were included in his own cl of naval architecture at the academy, and he wished to take them with him to sup- plement the theoretical force by some al experience in the effect of ex- ‘son ships. Powell was appointed to the academy from New York in May, 1803 Reward sure and adequate is awaiting these American heroes, and Acting Sec- retary Allen has so pledged himself, after consultation with Secrciary Long, who is still confined to his room by a lame leg. Medais and promotion are the least they can expect at the hands of a grateful peo- ple. Moreover, they will not languish long in a Spanish prison if the authorities here n bring abont their reiease, for half an hour after Sampson's bulletin. was display- ed on tha walis of the Navy Department Col. Carter, assistant adjutant general, had taken the preliminary steps to arrange for an exchunge of prisoners. PLENTY OF PRISONERS. Spaniards Who Can Be Exchanged for the Merrimac’s Crew. The commanding officer at Fort McPher- son, Ga., has furnished the War Depart- ment a full list of Spanish captives to fa- cilitate the work of exchange for the crew of the Merrimac captured at Santiago, Cuba. This is likely to occupy more time than was originally expected, because of the difficulty of communicating with the Spanish admiral at Santiago. The ex- change effected at Havana was conducted through the British ambassador here, Sir Julian Pauncefote, and the British consul general at Havana, Mr. Gollan, with the aid of the existing cable, but it is not likely that there is now any cable communication with Santiago, so the preliminaries must be arranged directly through Admiral Samp- son, a time-consuming operation, as the can be reached only through the agency of dispatch beats from Jamaica or Hayti. . ‘he War Department officials were sur- -prised at the number of Spanish officers held captive at Fort McPherson, and it will be seen that there is no lack of mate- rial, as was at first feared, for equal ex- change. Two officers have already been ex’ changed—namely, Colonel Vincente de Cor- tijo of the 3d Cavalry Principe and Sur- geon Major Isidro Garcia Julian, Sani- tary Corps. The list remaining is ‘as fol- lows: First Lieutenant “Lucas Saenz Gastamin- za, 6th Battalion, Lower Peninsula. Second Lieutenant Luis Giner Fominaya, Chasseur Battalion, Porto Rico.
