Conflicting Humors Some Tlino of
Grace lor Carranza Other War Notes.
Havana, June 7. United States war
ships opened fire at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning against the fortifications at
tlago de Cuba.
Hong Kong. June 7. Advices from
Manila say It Is officially declared there
that four armed cruisers, with colliers
and torpedo boats, and transport ships
carrying 10,000 troops, have left Spain,
proceeding for eastern waters.
Manila, May 31, via Hong Kong, June
7. The Spanish outposts have been
driven in all along the line simultan
eously. There is great slaughter of
Spaniards. Fierce hand-to-hand fight
ing for seventy hours, in spite of the
typhoon that Is ralng. The insurgents
hold the suburbs of the city.
Washington, June 7. After a lot of
conflicting rumors of naval engage
ments, the landing of troops, and such
matters at the navy department, there
came at the close of yesterday one im
portant bit of news embodied in a re
port from Admiral Dewey, of Important
successes achieved by the insurgents at
Manila. The report was to the effect
that the Philippine rebels had won sev
eral victories over the Spaniards in
Cavite province and taken many pris
oners nearly 2,000. The officials have
been more anxious than they cared to
betray as to Admiral Dewey's condition.
They were not seriously apprehensive of
personal danger to the fleet, but an Im
pression was gaining ground that the
admiral had not maintained the same
measures of success in his operations in
Manila bay that rewarded his first ef
fort. Now the report received goes to
show that his plans are working out
admirably; that he has succeeded In
placing upon the insurgents the burden
of conducting military operations
against the Spaniards and in preventing
the corruption of the insurgent leaders
by the Spaniards, which appeared at
one time to be threatening.
Solicitous About the Prisoners.
There is some speculation here by
anxious minds as to how the insurgents
will treat the prisoners they have tak
en, who are more numerous, it is said,
than all the captures made by the Cu
ban insurgents since their war began.
This solicitude is because of the terrible
tales circulated of the barbarous treat
ment of prisoners captured by the in
surgents. It is sincerely hoped that
Agulnaldo will see to it that this agree
ment is observed in the case of the 1,800
prisoners he now holds, for it is believed
In official circles that the nations of the
civilized world will hold the United States
morally responsible for any great excesses-
that may be committed in the
Philippines as a result of our action
there.
Xot Worried About the Cadiz Fleet.
That Cadiz fleet which was reported
to be doing strange things in the West
Indies Sunday is not giving the naval
officials any concern. They have learned
through the state department that the
Spanish ships were at Cadiz last Fri
day, so they could not well have been
in the West Indies two days later. Up
to the dose of office hours it could not
be learned at the war department that
any news had reached . there to show
that troops had landed in force near
Pantlago, and the offic.als, high and low,
made no concealment of their incredul
ity. JUST IN FROM THE FLEET.
Spanish Torpedo Boat Probably Got Away
Santiago Harbor Illocked.
Key West, Fla., June 7. An auxiliary
cruiser of the United States fleet which
left Santiago de Cuba at 1 o'clock on
Saturday morning came in here yes
terday afternoon for coaL She had been
in Santiago waters since Wednesday
morning, but was with the other ships
of the squadron only part of that time
and saw nothing in the nature of a
bombardment. She reports, however,
that on Friday night, when about a
mile from shore, what was thought to
be a Spanish torpedo boat was sighted,
headed for the cruiser. Three or four
ships immediately opened a heavy fire
upon her, and when the smoke cleared
away th torpedo boat had disappeared,
having apparently put back into the
harbor.
Apart from the sinking of the Merri
tnac in the channel of Santiago de Cuba
by Lieutenant Hobson and his gallant
companions, thiB torpedo attack was
the only occurrence coming within the
knowledge of the officers of the cruiser.
The latter say the sunken collier ef
fectually blocks the channel Capt.Oviedo
the Spanish officer who went out to the
American fleet from Santiago to obtain
clothing, etc., for Hobson and his crew,
remained on board the New York for
three hours, and effusively congratu
lated the American officers on the gal
lartry of the crew of the Merrrmac.
Captain Ovledo expressed his admira
tion for the daring of the Americans
and said he had never seeen anything
to equal it.
As Hobson and his crew have natur
ally learned much about the Spanish
fortifications it is hardly likely that
they will be exchanged for some time.
After a friendly chat in the cabin Ad
miral Sampson sat on deck with Cap
tain Oviedo and pointed out his ships
with pride. The names of the two
wounded men were not ascertained. One
has a slight wound in the cheek and the
other in the hip.
The American officers who saw the
Merrtmac's perilous adventure, say it
is a wonder any one on board escaped.
The Spaniards evidently sighted the
Merrimac and permitted her to pass the
first line of their batteries. At the sec
ond line &J1 tlie Sp&sisb. cuna opened on
her and It seenifd as though thousands
of projectiles were hurled at the collier.
MORTGAGE ON HOltSON S HOME.
Ifvominent Alabama Men 1'ropune That It
Shall lie Wiped Out.
Mobile, Ala., June 7. M. r. Ine.
trustee of the old city debt of Mobile,
and a former residert of Greensboro,
Ala., has associated with himself, John
Is. Rapier, publisher of the Motile Regis
ter, and R. W. Taylor, auditor of the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, in an effort
to raise & fund to pay a mortgage upon
the home of the heroia Richmond Hob
son, at Greensboro. Incre says:
"Through honorable misfortune Mrs.
Hobson was forced first to sell a part of
he- homestead property and then to
mortgage the rest, and has not been
able to redeem It despite the fact that
her son faithfully sent his mother all
of his pay alxive the cost of actual
maintenance of himself as a cadet since
being In the service.
"I notice in the Alabama Beacon, pub
lished in Greeensboro, that this mort
gage is advertised for foreclosure sale,
which will take plare on the 15th of this
month. Thus this brave boy's mother's
home is to be taken from her, no doubt
because from his meagre pay as a naval
officer he Is unable to lift the debt. Now
young Hobson will doubtless be voted
the thanks of congress, together with
a sword or a medal, but these, will not
pay a mortgage, and I propose to ap
peal to the people of this appreciative
nation to pay off this mortgage and buy
back the part of the old homestead thit
has beeen sacrificed, and that the title
shall be In the name of Richmond V.
Hobson, where he will find rest with his
mother when peace shall bring- its bless
ings to our country."
