Two Monitors and a Cruiser Can Guard the Spanish Fleet. SAMPSON CAN DO OTHER WORK While the Npiintarriit Cannot Get Ont Our NIiI|hi Cannot Get In the Harbor and Sup port the Attack of Our Land Forces— A Disadvantage for i's. Washington, June (1.— As to the change wrought in the situation by the bold exploit of the Merrimnc. it is said that it will now be possible to draw off the larger part of the American fleet for service elsewhere than at San tiago. perhaps at San Juan de l’orto Itieoor Havana for instance. A small force of say two monitors and a cruiser would suffice to keep guard at Santiago, for all that is necessary now is to be able to bring enough guns to bear upon the channel to prevent the Spaniards from attempting to clear away the wreck by tin* ust* of torpe does. and to prevent the escape of the small torpedo ltoats that might be aide to pass over the Merrimoc's hull. Of course it must l>e remembered that there are drawbacks to the pres ent situation, for while the Spaniards cannot get out our ships cannot get in the harbor, and any land attack upon Santiago would be made at great dis advantage for lack of support of the American fleet. THE MARIETTA SAFE IN PORT. A HatII.* With the Cruiser Vosemlte Nar rowly Avolite.l. Key West. Fla.. June 6.—The gun boat Marietta, companion of the battle ship Oregon during a part of its me morable voyage from San Francisco to Key West, dropped anchor here this morning. The run from Kahin. where she parted company with the Oregon, was devoid of incident so far as fears Vw.wo /. ... 1_ __ concerned. No Spanish ships were sighted anywhere, although a vigilant watch was maintained at all times. The crew was kept in readiness to man guns and clear for action. Last night the gunboat was sighted by the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite on the way down from Newport News and the meeting came near making an inci dent. Not having been advised of the signals now displayed in these waters by warships, the Marietta was regard ed with suspicion by the Yosemite, which came in with her bows on, cleared for action and ready to give the gunboat a warm reception if she proved to be a Spaniard. The Marietta was also suspicious of adventure at the very end of the trip anil likewise cleared for action and the men stood at their guns. The mutual mistake was soon corrected and the boys on board thu Yosemite cheered the boys of the Marietta. TO SEND BRYAN TO MANILA. The Xebrankan** Keglmrnt Will Serve In the rtilUpplneii.

The crime was committed on the night of May 30. The people erected a post near the railroad track near the town, quietly laid the lightwood and kindling, sat urated with coal oil, preparatory to chaining Street to the post. Street is a gingerbread colored man of aliout 28 years of age. He confessed the crime to a colored minister, hut said a negro minister named John Ilhodes was im plicated. When going to the stake he looked frightened and refused to have anything to say. He was tieil to the stake and uttered not a word as the great crackling flames shot up in suc cession above his head. The flames were started at 1 o'clock. It was a sickening sight, which lasted ten minutes, when Street was a charred mass.

An opening was made and through the lines the negro was dragged, and everybody hit him as he went. The rope was fixed so it would not choke him. and a run made for a tree. Finally the crowd halted at the Iron Mountain crossing and the rope was thrown over a limb of a tree.which stood within a few feet of where Kd Coy was burned for a like offense a few years ago. He was then jerked into the air, the rope tied, und as the body oscillated it was riddled with bullets. The crowds increased every moment, and an Iron Mountain train was held an hour, as the crowd refused to get off the track. The body swung from the limb several hours and was viewed by thousands of people. SCHLEY’S OFFICIAL REPORT. ReconnolMtnce SatlOlcd Him That Cer vrra's Fleet I* in HanttaRo Harbor.

Jamaica), June <1.—Hear Admiral Samp son yesterday morning? decided to close the narrow harbor entrance to Santi ug?o de Cuba by sinking? the collier Merrimac, loaded with coal, in the channel. He called for volunteers to g?o to almost certain death and 4,000 men offered themselves. Lieutenant Hobson and six men were chosen, anil at .1 o'clock yesterday morning? the Merrimac. under her own steam, entered the channel under a terrible Spanish fire. The vessel was riddled with projectiles, but she an chored and swung? around. Lieutenant Hobson then set off an internal torpedo with an electrical at tachment. There was an explosion, the Merrimac sank and the channel was closed. Apparently Admiral C'er vera will be unable to escape. Kingston, Jamaica, June 6.—Hob son and the hero crew of the Merrimac were saved in the following? manner: t’nable, after the sinking? of their ves sel, to make their way back through the storm of shot and shell, they rowed into the harbor to the Spanish iiiigsm]) were laurn on ooara un harmed. Tlie Spanish admiral, under a flag of truce, sent word to the American ad miral that he offered to exchange the prisoners, adding that in the mean while Hobson und his party would be treated with the greatest kindness. Washington, June d.—It is now known that the navy department about ten days ago was considering a plan for closing the harbor at Santiago very similar in general scope to that appar ently put into execution yesterday. It was proposed to get two large hulks or scows and fill them with big boulders. These were to be lashed on eitlier side of a tug and run into the harbor and at the proper point were to he scuttled. Provisions were to be made for the safety of the crew by at taching to the tug a torpedo boat stern foremost. At the proper moment the crew was to go aboard the torpedo boat, scuttle the hulks by an electrical contrivance and cutting loose from the hulks made a rush for liberty and the open sea. There were signs that yes terday's project was a development of this idea. Probably the plan of taking in scows was rejected because Samp son could not waste valuable time in waiting for such craft to be brought j from the United States. As to the reports of the Merrimac l>eing removed by the Spaniards, as is reported to be under way at Santiago, the officials at the Navy department declare this likely to be a difficult, dangerous and time-consuming op eration. The hulk could be blown up by the use of dynamite charges which would not be difficult to place in the shallow water where the Merrimac lies, for the reports say the top of the funnel is above water, indicating a depth of about forty feet, but it is believed that the wreck lies in sight from the sea and it is not doubted Sampson will post some of the i heavy ironclads in such a position as I to be able to command the site with heavy guns and prevent the Spanish wreckers working. At night some thing might be accomplished by the wreckers, but even that work would be full of danger. Substantial promotion is in store for 1 the gallant men who took the Merri- ! mac in. according to the statement of j one of the officials competent to speak ; on this subject and to pledge the Navy 1 department. When they get out of their Spanish prisons they will profit by this in the shape of advance in numbers and in rating, which means money. The department, so far as is known, now holds no Spanish prison ers of war of rank. Colonel Cortijo and the Spanish surgeon, who wns captured with him, huving been sur rendered in exchange for a couple of newspaper men, there now remain of prisoners of war ouly two or three private soldiers at Fort McPherson, j and It canuot la- expected that these •an la1 exchanged for the American of- j filers who were on the Merrimac. The captives, therefore, are likely to re- j tuaiu prisoners in Santiago until the , place surrenders or Sampson manages ' to rapture the Spanish officers or e«|u»l . rank mru to the same uuiuber as the Merrimac s little crew IT MAY GO TO MANILA, «|MlM ImN Im Mttwtrr I«H* »| llt» rilll|t^wM.

Washington Thinks tile Merrlinac's the 1 (eldest Achievement In Naval History. Washington, June 6.—“The cork is dr inn in the bottle." was the comment of the naval officers ut the navy depart ment this morning upon the news of the sinking of the collier in the en trance of Santiago harbor. They are absolutely satisfied thut the ship was sent in by design of Sampson to close the channel and prevent the escape of the Spanish squadron nnd that the undertaking was suceesufuL If so, this will rank as one of the boldest achievements in naval history. It will outrank even Cushing's famous attack upon the Alliermarle with his little torpedo boat. That is the opin ion at the navy department at least. The officers say that Cushing had n fighting chance to escape after making his attack und lie did indeed escape. There was no such chance for the men who took the Merrimao into Santiago harbor under the guns, which Schley's report described as of great power, und over nests <>f submarine mines, anyone of which w as sufficient to crush in the bottom of the ship. One of the reasons that form the ha sis of the conviction that the Merriin-’e was purposely sunk in the channel is tlie fact that the ship was of little val ue ns a naval vessel. She hud broken down in her machinery and was kept at work only with difficulty. Some of Crank's letters are at onee laughable and pathetic in their recital of the trials und tribulations the young offi cer suffered (he is about 25 years old) in his efforts to make the machinery work at all. This is just the kind of craft that would be selected to bloek up the channel. She is of iron, and therefore not to he easily removed by the Spaniards. Then she was empty, and so of no further immediate value to the fleet. Another reason for believing that the Mcrriinac was purposely sunk is the small number of the crew aboard. according to the reports. There seems to have been just enough on her to steer the ship and keep the engines moving. The normal crew of the col lier was about forty men, so the others must have been taken off in advance. It is said at the Navy department that there is no possibility that the Ameri can sailors captured by the Spaniards will suffer. They are not spies in any sense, hut prisoners of war. und so far there has been no disposition shown by the Spaniards to mistreat such prisoners. Captain Sigsbee was at the depart ment this morning. He said he had no doubt that the Merrimac was scuttled in the narrow neck of the harbor at the direction of Admiral Sampson. It was the right thing to do. Having successfully l>ottlcd and corked the Spanish fleet Admiral Samp son and the fleet can afford to wait pa tiently the arrival of the invading forces under General Shafter. Two purposes are said to have been served by sacrificing the Merrimac, in addi tion to blockading the channel success fully the Spanish mines were also lo cated. Under the circumstances Admiral Sampson's tactics are commended on all aides. HAVE THEY BLOWN HER OUT? A Spanish Report That Dynamite Has Cleared the Merrlmac's Wreck* Post au Phixce, Hayti, dune <5.— Further news received here from San tiago de Cuba confirms the reports that the bombardment of that place began at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. After the action the Spaniards blew up with dynamite the sunken American collier Merrimac and have since been at wbrk clearing the channel so as to, in all probability, permit Admiral Cer vera s neei 10 pur out to sea snouia tne Cadiz squadron, under Admiral Cam ara, arrive in Cuban waters to relieve the blockaded ships. In the meanwhile the dispatches from Santiago de Cuba say the Span iards pay tribute to the audacity of the Americans in so cleverly attempting to block the channel. According to the Spaniards, it would he foolishness upon the part of the Americans to attempt to force the har bor entrance, which is described a* being long and narrow and thoroughly mined, seemingly forming an insur mountable harrier. There are a great nuroltcr of in surgents in the vicinity of Santiago, pfobably waiting for some decisive ac tion upon the part of the Aincricau fleet, which will undoubtedly be the signal for a land attack upon the town.

The committee amendments on nearly sixty pages of the bill were passed upon. The in terest of the session centered in the action taken on the amendment of Mr. Gorman, Democrat, of Maryland, levy ing a tax of one-quarter of 1 per cent on the ^ross receipts of all corporations doing a business exceeding $250,000 a year. lty o direct vote upon it, the amendment was rejected—27 to 3t. Mr. Pettigrew, Populist, of South Dakota, offered the Gorman amend ment with the clause containing the *250,000 exemption stricken out, but it was defeated—25 to 37. Mr. White, Democrat, of California, then proposed the Gorman amendment so modified that it levied a tax of one quarter of 1 per cent upon all corpora tions engaged in the refining of sugar or petroleum. The California Senator explained that he desired to see a tax lcviod on the American sugar trust and the Standard Oil company. The amend ment prevailed by a vote of 33 to 26. It was supported by twenty-two Item ocrata, four Republicans, five Populists and two silver Republicans and op posed by twenty-four Republican* and two Democrats. ARGONAUTS PERISH.
