HATS OFF FOR HOBSON.
Georgia greets Alabama thi«
morning on the glorious news of
the splendid achievement of one
of Alabama’s distinguished sons.
The entire south feels proud of
Lieutenant Hobson today, and we
doubt not that the north and the
west will be as quick to join in
praise of this sterling young Ameri
can hero.
It is by such heroic acts as that
at Santiago that our country, once
divided, is being again securely
welded together. Dewey and his
heroes at Manila sec all the United
States to talking of American
» courage heroism and the south vi
ed with the east in offering its
tributes of love and admiration
for the valiaht commodore from
Vermont. I.at°r, when Bagley,
the dashing boy Irom North Caro*
lina,gave up his precious life in
lhe hot battle at Cardenas, the
the north mingled its tears with
those of the south in sorrow for
his untimely taking off.
Ai d now ano'her hero. Lieute
nant Hobson of Alabama. Hats
off for Hobson! America stands
uncovered in his honor today.—

MEANING OF SANTIAGO
Santiago is of interest just
now. The name means St. Jago
or St. Janies. This James is said
to be the son of Zededee, broth
er <>f John. The annals of Galli
cia say that he was beheaded,
and c: ug.it 'us head in his hands
as it fell. The Jews Were asti n
islu d. When they touched ths
body they found it so cold that ,
their h inds and arms were par
alyzed.
* In “Espino S igraly” it h
stated that v. hen Santiago went ,
to Spain in his marble ship , he
hid no head on his body. The
I'h ' passage of the ship took
seven days, and the vessel wa*
steered by the presiding hand
of provideifce. This is another
story which asserts that Santia
go had two heads, one ot which <
is buried at Braga while the oth
er is buried at Compostella. In ,
the Annals of Gallicia it is as
serted that S intiago .leads tin
armies of Spain, and thirty-eight
instances of the interference ol
the saint in behalf of the Span
ish ariuy are gravely s°t down
•as facts.
On one occasion Santiago ren
dered signal service to a Chris
tian King of Spain against the
Moors, and the Spa liards in to
ken of their gratitude adopted
his name as their war cry. The
Spaniards call it “SeLt-yah-go,”
accent on the second syllable.lo
one of Onida’s books there i*
chronicled a legend of Santiago,
is follows:
“St. Jago got a bladder filled
with wind and put it in tin
theart of a fox and the fangs of a
wolf, and whilst it puffed and
swelled like the frog that called
itself a bull it was dispatched to
the world as a Spaniard.’’—

THE DYNAMITER VESUVIUS
When the Vesuvius with her '
three dynamite guns sailed to'
the South, it was the opinion
that she went ns a mine dt str y-1
er and it was said by some of
those in authority that in a sin
gle night -lie could destroy the >
übmarine defenses of Havana
harbor so that our warships
could sail > ver the mine fields
without danger.
Her plan of doing this was to I
throw chart's of dynamite a
certain di lance apart in the
harbor, th- explosion of which
it was said would explode the
torpedoes and cut the cables of
die mines connected with bat
teries on shore.
The Vesuvius is now at Santi
ago, but nothing has been heard
of any ati mpt to make her use
ful, The o. minute vessel is an
exqie.rime . the Vesuvius being
the only i ein existence.
This w: -> will give our navy
an excelh .it opportunity to see
whether she is practical or wheth
r she is 1 useless product of
some nav theorize! - ' In fact it
woulu appear that Santiago is
an excell >f place t > ut the Ve
suvius to a test. If she can do
what is claimed, she will open
up the wa for the en nance of
our 11 et as nothing else will.
It. will ho very gratifying to
all who have heard so much of
the famous dynamiter to know
win I her th -re is any truth in the
claims in. de for her or whether
she L a kind of bug-a boo which
the Unite Slates has construct

souls of f< arful adversaries.”

SCHLEY AND HIS VICTIM.
Cervera is not the first man
who has gone up against the
bottle one too often. —Augusta

Santiago is an important point
but it is not the “solar plexus”
ot the Spanish power in Cuba. —

After Schley gets through with
it the Spanish fleet will be much
harder to locate, than at any
time in die last few weeks.—

help him open a bottle. —Chica-

There are still one or two ports
in the Spanish Wdst Indies
available for the bottling up of
Admiral Camara, with h's Cadiz

Commodore Schley was un
able in the first round to reach
Cervera’s solar plexus, but he
managed to deal his adversary a
powerful blow on the Cristobal
