oe. bs PLANS. BEATSANTHG 1 = MNRAS cee) WAR UMM fe ee ANYTHING IN HISTORY REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENTS IN THREE MONTHS OF WAR, the Sunken Washington, July 26.—Lieut. Hobson came over from New York and had a long conference with Assistant Secre- tary Allen, Capt. Bradford and several other officers of the navy department regarding the raising of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon. The lieuten- ant succeeded while in New York in ar- ranging with the Merritt & Chapman Wrecking company for the execution of the plans he had prepared for say- ing the vessels. The wreckers have promised to get together the pontoons, air bags and compressed air apparatus which will be required to lift and right the vessels, and expect to start this material for Santiago from New York on a fast vessel within three days. Lieut. Hobson is confident that if the work can be undertaken before a cy- clone sets in it will result successfully. Secretary Long said that the lieuten- ant’s plan for raising the Colon seemed entirely feasible. The proposed plan involves methods and appliances out- side of those usually employed in wrecking. They necessitate the use of air apparatus of various kinds in right- ing and raising the ship that rarely, if ever before, have been used on vessels of the size and weight of the Colon, and, although there is some doubt of its success, the navy department of- ficials think the prize well worth the experiment.
