WENT TOO FAR LY,
Hobson Carried the Merrimack Too Far
Into the Harbor Betore Sinking Her.
A dispatsh to the New York Herald
from Port Antonio says: It has re
mained for the staunch dynamite cruis
er, the Vesuvius, to demonstrate that
the entrance to Santiago harbor was not
compléfely blocked by the sinking of
the Merrimack.
While poking her nose about the en
trance to the harbor a few nights avo
the Vesuvius discovered ample room in
which to pass the wreck of the Merri
mazk. She went in, made observations
along the inner harbor and then came
back to sea, getting around the wrecked
collier without difficulty. This rather
surprising information came out in the
eourse of a conversation in which Ad
miral Sampson and Captain Chadwich
discussed the situation from a naval
standpoint. .
At length tCaptain Chadwick made
the surprising statement that it wasa
question whether the Merrimack had
been properly sunk. He said he teared
that Hobson and his plucky men had
taken the vessel too far into the harbor

before sinking her. :
As the collier now lies, it is said, the
chanpel is comparatively free of ob
siruction. Not only did the dynamite
cruiser pass the wreck while reconnoiter
ing about the outer forts the other night
but it gave to Admiral Sampson news
which resulted in & close examination
of the wreck as it now lies. It has been
ascertained that two battleships; one
passing to the right and the other to the
left, can enter the harbor, This will be
of great adyantage to Admiral Saxpson
when the final attack on Santiago be
gins, Ilobson and his men are still in
commuaunication with the fleet, Tlere is
little prospect that they will be ex
changed betore the attack on Sautiago
is made.

Proved to Be a Friend in Need—
interesting Statement,
T was in good health up to about 15
vears ago, when I began to suffer from
constipation and piles, and. neglect of
g 2 cold brought on catarrh, followed by
heart difficulty, and liver and kidney
troubles. My constitution fought against
fhem all, until my suffering drove me to
corsultation with my father, who was a
physician. He advised me to talke Hood’s
Earsaparilla. Having confidence in his
judgment I began taking the medicine, to
gether with Hood's Pills, and I ended
with them, taking no other medicines,
and the'benetits I have derived fromthem
have bagn great and surprising. Since
then Ilood’s Sarsaparilla has been to me,
83 my husband says, ‘a friend in need’.””
