Washington, Sept. 30.—As sistant Secretary Allen, diiectly in charge of the arrangements made for raising such of the Spanish war ships sunk or stranded in the battle of July 3d as can be removed, said yester day, referring to coustructoi Hobston’s work on the Teresa, that the navy department had given the young constructor ah of the assistance which it was possible to extend in the prose cution of his work. Moreover, it is now proposed to give him further aid in his effort to raisr the Colon, by far the finest of the Spanish squadron. Whatever credit has been earned by Constructor Hobson by reason of the Teresa would, in the opinion of Mr. Allen, be largely exc< eded if the attempt to raise the Colon results sue- ; cessfully. In case of this ship the young constructor has pledged Ins pro fessional reputation against the unanimous opinion of all of the expert wreckers wha have ex amined the bhip. Yet the navy department is unhesitatingly supporting Hobson’s judgement, as is indicated by the fact that yesterday it shipped from New York 120,000 worth as specially manufactured rubber air bags to be used in lifting the Colon. Aside from the sentim.ntJ reasons for sparing no effort to save this ship, the navy depart ment is satisfied, from the re ports of the divers who have in vestigated her condition that she is purely well worth, from a purely monetrry point of view’, the expenditure of a considers ble percentage of her orininaj value, about 14,000,000, if there is a reasonable prospect of rait her.
