the senator's choice for the position ,

Two Monitors and a Cruiser Can
Guard the Spanish Fleet ,
SAMPSON CAN DO OTHER WORK
While the Spaniards Cannot Get Oat Oar
Ships Cannot Get In the Harbor and Sup
port the Attack of Our Land Forces
'A Disadvantage forUs.
WASHINGTON , June 6. As to the
change wrought in the situation by the
bold exploit of the Merrimac , 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
Porto Rico or 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 gxins to
bear upon the channel to prevent the
Spaniards from attempting to clear
away the wreck by the use of torpe
does , and to prevent the escape of the
small torpedo boats that might be able
to pass over the Merrimac's hull.
Of course it must be 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 Battle With the Cruiser Yoscmito Nar
rowly Avoided.
KEV 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 Bahia , where
she parted company with . .the Oregon ,
wa's devoid of incident so far as fears
that have been felt for her safety are
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
and likewise cleared for action and the
men stood at their guns. The mutual
mistake was soon corrected and the
boys on board the Yosemite cheered
the boys of the Marietta.

NEGRO BURNED AT THE STAKE
Awful Fate of "William Stewart , a Black
Skinned Ravlshcr.
' SIIREVEPORT , La. , June 0. A thous
and people gathered at Doyline , which
is situated on the Vicksburg , Shreveport -
port & Pacific railroad , about eighteen
miles from here , to witness the burn
ing at the stake of William Street , a
negro , who attempted the ruin and
murder of Mrs. Parish. 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 about 28
years of age. lie confessed the crime
to a colored minister , but said a negro
minister named John Ehodes was im
plicated. When going to the stake he
looked frightened and refused to have
anything to say. He was tied 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.
Well-known lawyers made speeches
warning the crowd of negroes that
such crimes would not be tolerated in
a civilized community.
The woman whom Street assaulted is
in a most critical csndition and could
not identify Street when caught until
a doctor held open her eyelids.
BUD HAYDEN IS LYNCHED.
Summary Justice Visited Upon a Negro
Guilty of a Heinous Crime.
TEXARKANA , Ark. , June fl. Thurs
day morning little Jessie Scott , daugh
ter of the circuit clerk , J. V. Scott , was
outraged by a negro named Bud Hayden -
den , near Fairview. He was arrested
and lodged in jail that night. At high
noon yesterday a committee of seven
of the best men in this city took Hayden -
den to Mr. Scott's residence and
placed him in the barn where
the crime was committed. The
young girl was taken to the scene and
upon entering the barn said :
"That's the man. " He was handed
over to the mob. A rope was placed
around his neck and the crowd began
moving. 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 treewhich
stood within a few feet of where Ed
Coy was burned for a like offense a few
years ago. He was then jerked into
the air , the rope tied , and 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.

Merrimac Blown Up by Her Crew
in the Harbor of Santiago ,
4,000 MEN VOLUNTEERED ,
Thn Steamer Was Riddled hy Spanish
Projectiles When an Internal Torpedo
Sunk Her Lieutenant Ilobsou Is the
New Hero Held Prisoner hy Cervera.
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA ( via Kingston ,
Jamaica ) , June ( i. Rear Admiral Samp
son yesterday morning decided to close
the narrow harbor entrance to Santi
ago de Cuba by sinking the collier
Merrimao , loaded with coal , in the
channel. He called for volunteers to
go to almost certain death and 4,000
men offered themselves.
Lieutenant llobson and six men
were chosen , and at 3 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 llobson 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 Cer
vera will be unable to escape.
KINGSTON , Jamaica , June G. Hobson -
son and the hero crew of the Merrimac
were saved in the following manner :
Unable , 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
flagship and were taken on board un
harmed.
The 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 llobson and his party would be
treated with the greatest kindness.
WASHINGTON , June 0. 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
either side of a tug and run into the
harbor and at the proper point were to
be 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
from the United States.
As to the reports of the Merrimac
being 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
heavy ironclads in such a position as
to be able to command the site with
heavy guns and prevent the Spanish fc
wreckers working. At night some
thing might be accomplished by the
wreckers , but even that work would
be fiill of danger.
Substantial promotion is in store for
the gallant men who took the Merri
mac in , according to the statement of
one of the officials competent to speak *
on this subject and to pledge the Navy
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 was
captured with him , having been sur
rendered in exchange for a couple of
newspaper men , there now remain of
prisoners of war only two or three
private soldiers at Fort McPherson ,
and it cannot be expected that these
can be exchanged for the American of
ficers who were on the Merrimac. The
captives , therefore , are likely to re
main prisoners in Santiago until the
place surrenders or Sampson manages
to capture the Spanish officers or equal
rank men to the same number as the
Merrimac's little crew. at

THE NAVY'S GREATEST HEROES ,
"Washington Thinks the Mcrrlmac's the
Boldest Achievement In Js'aval History.
WASHINGTON , June G. "The cork is
driven in the bottle , " was the comment
of the naval officers at the navy depart
ment this morning upon the news of
the sinking of the collier in the en
trance of Santiago harbor. They arc
absolutely satisfied that the ship was
sent in by design of Sampson to close
the channel and prevent the escape of
the Spanish squadron and that the
undertaking was succesufuL
If so , this will rank as one of the
boldest achievements in naval history.
It will outrank even Cushing's famous
attack upon the Alberrnarle with his
little torpedo boat. That is the opin
ion at the navy department at least.
The officers say that Cushing had a
fighting chance to escape after making
his attack and he did indeed escape.
There was no such chance for the men
who took the Merrimae into Santiago
harbor under the guns , which Schley's
report described as of great power , and
over nests of submarine mines , any one.
of which was sufficient to crush in the
bottom of the ship.
One of the reasons that form the ba
sis of the conviction that theMerrim ? * *
was purposely sunk in the channel is
the fact that the ship was of little val
ue as a naval vessel. She had broken
down in her machinery and was kept
at work only with difficulty. Some of
Crank's letters are at once laughable
and pathetic in their recital of the
trials and 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 block
up the channel. She is of iron , and
therefore not to be easily removed by
the j Spaniards. Then she was empty ,
and so of no further immediate value
to the fleet.
Another reason for believing that
the Merrimac was purposely sunk is
the small number of the crew aboard ,
according to the reports. There" seems
to have been just enoiigh on her to
steer the ship and keep the engines
moving. The normal crew of the col
lier % vas 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 , but prisoners of war , and 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.
Hav ! g successfully bottled aud
corked the Spanish fleet Admiral Samp
son and the fleet can aiford 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 Merrimac's \Vrcck.
PORT AU PRINCE , Hayti , .lunc G.
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
colliej Merrimac and have since been
at wdrk clearing the channel so as to , -
in all probability , permit Admiral Ccr-
vera's fleet to put out to sea should the
Cadiz squadron , under Admiral Cara-
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 Q
block the channel.
u
According to the Spaniards , it would
be foolishness upon the part of the
Americans to attempt to force the har-
bor entrance , which is described as.
being long and narrow and thoroughly
mined , seemingly forming an un sur
mountable barrier.
There are a great number of in
surgents in the vicinity of Santiago ,
probably waiting for some decisive action
o
tion upon the part of the American
fleet , which will undoubtedly be the
signal for a land attack upon the town.

TO TAX SUGAR AND OIL TRUSTS
Tbo Senate Votea ft tevy on the Gross
Receipts of Great Corporations.
WASHINGTON , June 3. Marked pro
gress was made by the Senate yester
day toward the final disposition of the
war revenue measure. 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 gross receipts of all corporations
doing a business exceeding § 250,000 a
year. By a direct vote upon it , the
amendment was rejected 27 to 34.
Mr. Pettigrew , Populist , of South
Dakota , offered the Gorman amend *
ment with the clause containing the
8250,000 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
levied on the American sugar trust and
the Standard Oil company. The amendment
'
ment prevailed by a vote of 33 to 20.
It was supported by twenty-two Dem
ocrats , four Republicans , five Populists
and two silver Republicans and op
posed by twenty-four Republicans and
two Democrats.
