Some Trying Problems for Gen- eral Merritt ¢t o Regulate in the Philippines. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, June 6. There are strong indications that the ar Department is arranging to em- e Porto Rico expedition within few days. It has been the un- anding that the troops to be sent an Juan would leave from Jackson- in preference to Tampa, or any owing to the shortening the steaming distance thus effected. It was of earT d to-day that Secretary Saturday dispatched his mili- jor George H. Hopkins, on on, the object of which is to be to inspect the ship- fes of Jacksonville and Mi Fla., with a view to determin- ing ich place promises to make the best base for operations against Porto Rico. Major Ho is under orders to ion at the earli- est possible date and to report in full ph. It is thought his recom- may ed by the de- rtment within forty-eight hours.

These reports, it is surmised, may be prema- ture and based upon nothing more sub- stantial than an imperfect knowledge | of the Government's plans, but there is little doubt the incidents thus fore- shadowed will be fully realized within | a few days. | A s ment was made in an authori- tative quarter to-day that troops for the land siege of Santiago would arrive in the vicinity of that port within the next three davs. If this is correct the transports must be already on the way. There is some talk at the War De- partment of sending additional troops to San Francisco for the Philippine ex- pedition. The understanding is that the § h Illinois, Sixth Massachusetts and the Eighth Ohio, now at Camp Al- ger, will be ordered to the Pacific Coast for duty at Manila. The regiments re- lieved by them will be sent to the re- serve camp mnear San Francisco for equipment and drill, and will be held as a reserve force. General Merritt will have some inter- esting work to do as soon as he reaches Manila in the way of revising the sys- tem of taxation there. Spain has been receiving half a million dollars a year from the Phili-pine Islands by renting out the privilege to sell oplum. That privilege will be immediately abolished, but opium will pay a heavy duty. Per- mission to carry on cock fighting, which is one of the principal amuse- ments of the natives, has been rented n to a company which paid 9 annually for the privilege.

The tax on cock fighting and profits from lotteries and raffles will be immediately abol- ished. 0 PROTE THIS C0AST (T Provision Made by the Naval Officials. RUSH ORDERS TO KIRKLAND WORK ON THE YORETOWN TO BE HURRIED. Plans to Guard Against Attack by Auxiliary Cruisers Fitted Out by the Spanish. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 6.—A Washington special to the Herald sa : Orders were telegraphed to Rear Admiral Kirkland, commanding the Mare Island Navy Yard, this afternoon, directing him to expedite with all dispatch the work of preparing the gunboat Yorktown for service. This action is due to a desire of the authorities to place upon the Pacific Coast » force which will be able to defend it against possible attack by one of the auxiliary crulsers which Spain is fitting out for service. While the authorities have no information showing it to be the intention of the Madrid Government to send either the Columbia or the Normannia Into the Pacific, these vessels have verted into rather formidable auxiliary cruisers. The cruiser Philadelphia will be com- missioned on July 1, and it is proposed to have the Yorktown ready for ser- vice within a couple of months. At r Admiral Miller's flag flies nasthead of the Fish Com- sgion vessel Albatross, and besides sel he has under his command enue cutters and three tugs. The department daily expects to hear of the successful test of the torpedo boat Rowan, being constructed at Port- land, Or., and she will be added to his fleet. The torpedo boat Davis has been launched at Portland, Or. She is 90 per cent completed, and it is expected that within the next month she will have undergone her official trial and be plac- ed in commission. With these vessels it 18 believed in department circles the cities of the Pacific Coast would be adequately protected, notwithstanding the dispatching of the monitors Mon- terey and Monadnock and the cruiser Charleston for Manila, and the Mohi- can for Honolulu, and the prospective dispatchine of the gunboat Bennington from Honolulu to Manil SANTIAGO BOMBARDED ON SATURDAY NIGHT MADRID, June 6.—A dispatch to the Imparcial from Santiago de Cuba says that at 10 o'clock on Saturday evening twenty American warships opened a hot attack on Santiago de Cuba, but that they were so distant that their shots did not reach the forts. The dispatch adds that, seeing the fu- tility of the enemy’s cannonade the Spaniards made no reply to the fire, awaiting the nearer approach of the ships, but the attacking fleet continued to remain in its distant position. The dispatch further says the bom- bardment lasted forty-five minutes and was not resumed.

The House conferees on the bill are Dingley of Maine, Payne of New York and Balley of Texas. Senate Committee on Finance at 3 o'clocl. The Senate conferees express confidence that the conference will be concluded before the end of the week.

Every officer and man in the fleet would have volunteered to go, but Hobson, being a naval constructor, was the man for the place. The details were arranged, and the crew was on board Thursday morn- ing and the vessel had started, but day commenced to break and the Admiral signaled for her return. Hobson begged | to be permitted to proceed, saying he would be successful. However, the ad- miral insisted on his return. The men were given a good sleep and early the next morning the Merrimac started again. She had been thoroughly stripped of valuable articles, even the clock and bell being taken out. “Along one side the torpedo belt had been arranged about ten feet below the water line, six torpedoes being placed | 50 as to break open the compartments. | These torpedoes had electrical connec tion with a battery on the bridge, and were to be discharged by pressing a button. | “It was arranged that the Merrimac | was to be swung across the channel till one end grounded. The men that let go the starboard anchor were to let the life raft fall and then jump overboard. Last of all, the man that pressed the key would plunge into the water. The man at the key was undoubtedly Hobson. He would be unlikely to as- sign another man to the most danger- | ous post.

We could not count shots, the firing was so furious, The forts must have fired a thousand times. and the hearts of all of us faltered, for it seemed as if no ship could live in that hell of fire, and that no one on board could escape. The Merrimac an- chored. The men jumped overboard, and the forts then subsided, refusing to fire at the men struggling in the water. The men reached the raft, where they were captured and taken to Morro fort. “When Admiral Cervera's chief of New York several officers asked to be allowed to exchange places with Hobson, but this Cervera’s officer express his admiration for the bravery of the Americans.

The story printed in New York that Lieu- tenant Hobson and Rear Admiral Sampson quarreled just before the Merrimac went In is an entire false- hood.” WITH THE FLEET, OFF SAN- TIAGO, June 3 (via Kingston, Jamaica, June 5 delayed in transmission).—All the members of the Merrimac expedi- tion are safe. Two are slightly wounded, but Lieutenant Hobson es- caped without a scratch. This almost incredibly good news was brought out this afternoon to Rear Admiral Samp- son by Admiral Cervera’s chief of staff, under a flag of truce. “Admiral Cervera,” saild the officer, is so touched by the bravery of your men that he felt it only right you should know they are alive. They are prisoners of war and are being well treated.” Tremendous enthusiasm reigns over the complete success of the expedition. During the day the Merrimac was plainly seen lying athwart the chan- nel. She could hardly have been placed better had she been sunk in the day time and with no accompaniment of fire. It was an anxious day on all the ships. By noon officers and men feared the Merrimac's heroes had died in their noble work, but at 2 o'clock this after- noon a little black tug flying a white flag was seen coming out from the saf- fron hills of the harbor. Slowly she moved toward the New York, the flag- ship. Assistant Chief of Staff Staun- ton boarded the Vixen, flying a flag of truce, and met the Spanish tug, which proved to be the Colon, half way. Cap- tain Oviedo signified his desire to see Admiral Sampson personally, and he was taken on board the flagship. The enthusiasm as the news spread from signals from the Vixen was so intense that the appearance of the Spanish captain over the side of the New York hardly excited the surprise that might have been expected. Admiral Sampson greeted Captain Oviedo most cordially, thanked Admi- ral Cervera for his gallant courtesy and made the prcliminary arrange- ments for the exchange of Lieutenant Habson and hia saven hexoss.

ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH BOAT DAUNT- (via Kingston, Jamaica, June 6).—Ad- miral Sampson is determined not to al- low the Spanish to remove the Merri- mac from the spot where she lies. On Saturday it was reported that they were working at the hull, and the merican fleet formed in line of battle, with orders to bombard. It turned out that the Spaniards were not so engag- d and the fleet withdrew. Admiral Sampson has given specific orders that El Morro, where the Merrimac's crew are imprisoned, be spared in the firing. Admiral Cervera’s polite assurances were accompanied by the statement that Lieutenant Hobson and his men were confined there. This placing of the prisoners in direct line of fire is de- nounced by the American officers as a thirteenth century defense, an act of incarnate cruelty. General Castillo, commanding the Cuban forces in the west and north of the province of Santiago, has been con- centrating 4000 Cubans in the vicinity of the city. NEW YORK, June 6.—The Washing- ton correspondent of the Herald sends the following: Before the combined military and naval attack is made upon Santiago de Cuba and Admiral Cer- vera’s fleet Naval Constructor Hobson and the men who so gallantly aided him in sinking the Merrimac will be free. This is the confident prediction of officials as the result of a cablegram re- ceived from Rear Admiral Sampson to- day. Concerning its contents, Acting Secretary Allen- authorized this state- ment: ‘“Admiral Sampson is engaged in arranging with Admiral Cervera for son and the men with him, now pris- oners at Santiago, for some officers and men held prisoners by the United States at Fort McPherson.” It is understood by naval officers that Rear Admiral Sampson sent a flag of truce, probably by Lieutenant S. A. Staunton, his flag lieutenant, to Ad- miral Cervera, and that Lieutenant Staunton, conducting the negotiations, expected that Admiral Cervera will communicate with Captain-General Blanco so the Spaniards may be deliv- ered to the captain-general at Havana. Immediately upon receipt of the news from Havana, Admiral Cervera will give Hobson and his companions safe conduct outside Santiago harbor. No action has yet been taken looking to the promotion of Hobson, and it is doubtful if the President will do any- thing until Hobson has expressed his Avishes. Charett, who is,a first-class gunner’s mate, will in all probability be ap- pointed a gunner. If recommended by Hobson, and the recommendation be approved by Rear Admiral Sampson, it will undoubtedly give a warrant rank to each of the men, besides $100 and a medal of honor, as now provided by aw. WASHINGTON, June 6—Represent- | ative Hartman of Montana has intro- duced a joint resolution directing the Secretary of the Navy to have pre- pared and delivered suitable medals of honor to Lieutenant Hobson and each member of his crew for gallant, heroic and patriotic services rendered to the Tnited States at Santiago harbor -n June 3, 1898. It appropriates $500 for the purpose. “ The promotion in store for Lieuten- ant “Hobson, the hero of Santiago, is‘ under consideration by the Navy De- partment. Acting Secretary Allen and | Commodore Hichborn, chief of the Bu- real of Naval Construction, talked it over in a general way to-day. but no conclusions were reached. The depart- ment is desirous of knowing what would be; most acceptable to Hobson himself, and when this is learned a re- commendation will be made to Con- gress which that body will doubtless carry into effect without delay. The present indications are that Hob- son will be taken out of the staff and be made a line officer, as that insuras not only an increase of pay, but an opportunity to rise to the more con- splcuous line position of admiral. At present Hobson is an assistant con- structor, with the relative rank of lieu tenant, junior grade. It develops, how- | ever, that within the next four weeks he would have secured a promotion to the rank of constructor, relative rank. full lieutenant, in the usual course .f advancement. As this rank is already earned by length of service, it would hardly be an honor for Congress 10 confer it upon him. About the only | expedient is to give him a promotion in the line, probably as lieutenant-com- mander, or commander, where his pay ' would be greater than it would be In the staff service, and the chances for | future advancement would be ample. There is some doubt, however, whether an officer who has shown such genius in the scientific branch of the naval service would care to leave it for the line. Congratulations will be sent to Hobron as soon as there is an oppor- tunity to ommunicate with him, but while he is a prisoner at Santiego it is| obviously impossible for the naval au- | thorities to do more than convey their congratulations and thanks to Admiral | Sampson. | | Public Clocks. | Few great cities of America are adequately provided with public clocks of such a size and 50 prominent location as to indicate the time over wide metropolitan _districts.
