BRfll/E HOBSON.
Sampson Writes of the Gal
lant Alabamian.
HIS DEED WAS HEROIC.
Detailed Official Report of The
Merrimac Incibent.
Washington, June 11.—The
navy department today posted
the following bulletin giving a
detailed official report from Ad
mirrl Sampson upon heroism of
Lieut. Hobson and his men in
sinking the Merrimac in the
Santiago channel:
“Flagship New York, off San
tiago, June 3, —Permit me to
call your attention to Assistant
Naval Contructor Hobson. As
stated in a special telegram be
fore coming here I decided to
make the harbor entrance se
cure against the possibility of
egress by Spanish ships by ob
structing the narrow part of the
entrance by sinking a collier at
that point. Upon calling upon
Mr. Hobson for his professional
opinion as to a sure method of
sinking the ship he manifested
the most lively intereet in the
problem. After several days con
sideration he presented a solu
tion which he considered would
insure the immediate sinking of
the ship when she reached the
dosired point in the channel.
This plan we prepared for execu
tion when we reached Santiago
plan contemplated a crew
only seven men and made
Hebeon commander, who beg-
ged that it might be entrusted
to him. The anchor chains were
arranged on deck for both the
anchors, forward and aft. the
plan including the anchoring oi
the ship almost automatically.
“As soon as I reached Santi
ago and had the collier to work
on the details were diligently
prosecuted hoping to complete
them in ore day, as the moon
and tide served best the first
night after our arrival. Notwith
standing every effort the hour
of 4 o’clock in the morning ar
rived and the preparation was
i J
scarcely completed. After a care
ful inspection of the final pre
f parations I was forced to relin
, quish the plan tor that day as
> dawn was breaking. Mr. Hobson
begged to try it at all hazards.
. This morning proved more pro-
> pitious as a better start could
t be made.
3 “Nothing could have be«n
- more gallantly executed. We
> waited impatiently after the
. firing of the Spaniads had|ceas
f ed. When Hobson and crew did
. not reappear from the harbor at
? 6 o’clock I feared that they had
t all perished. A steam launch
i which had been sent in charge
1 of Naval Cadet Powell to rescue
f them appeared at this time com
-1 ing out under a persistent fire
3of the batteries,but brought none
. of the crew.
“A careful inspection of the
i harbor from this ship showed
f | that the vessel Merrimac had
i been sunk in tiie channel. This
, afternoon the chief of staff of Ad
. miral G’evera came out under .*
Hag of truce with a letter fr< m
r I the admiral extoling the braver'
. of the crew in an unusual inai.-
. ner. _ j
A NOTABLE CAMPAIGN.
It is the yeueral remade 1 >hat
the oest campaign made Uy any
state house candidate wjbM’that
made by Hou O. B. Stwjbiia, of
Terrell, who it to be
next Commissioner of fa I fur e.
Mr. btevens entered the Mh with
out any political combi naCTone or’
other strong influence* to halts
him, and he h d to figljt every
inch of the way. >
But not until laat night did _hg
siop to look behind him |Vhen he
counted up last night b$ Sad 228
votes sure, and then he WW forth
t.is original estimate aacWehowed
it to a group of Some
weeks ago he put 225 votki ! in hia
column. He missed it, fiw-will be
heen just three votee. * “
But who can wonder ‘at such
accurancy or such succeaa after
witnessing such a race. Few t»ucli
campaigns have ever been waged
by any candidate in Georgia. Mr.
Steveiiß, in the first place, started
out to visit 100 countieaof the 137
in the state. He managed to vidit
and do active, telling work in just
ninety-six of the number. And he
earned about as many at t he
visi d.
The politicans in Atlanta tall it
m him that he slept in the same
bed with every ouu of tha guber
natorial and state house candi
dates, and even offered to share
his Ind with Commissioner Nebitt
aim? -if at one place. I'hia would
iot aiguethat he has bean holding
» itb .he hare and running with
Guo bounds, Lu; merely that be
has b everybody’s friend and
everyoody has been his friend.
He has been open, fair and
(rank with all of the other candi
dites, and in this way he has re
Gained their confidence and their
riendship. He has, perhaps seen
ia person and talked to more *peo*
pie than any other candidate in
the race, and hie election only
shows what merit can do when
coupled with indefatigability, en
ergy and superlative political ac
ramen. '<f ie» Nrwe.
