mm explains How the Lieutenant Escaped From the Merrimac. TAKEN OFF IN A LAUNCH' The Brave Men Hurrendered to Admiral ! Cervera-rnder the Enemy's Terrible Fire—Forced to Me on Deck Until Daylight—Splendid Discipline. Off Santiago, via Kingston, July 11. j —The ieturn of Assistant Naval Con- ; structor Hobßon to his ship, the flag j ship New York, was marked by wild , enthusiasm. When Hobson sat once i more among his messmates, he told th story of his experience, his marvcloi. escape and his imprisonment in Morro ; castle. "I did not miss the entrance to the : harbor," he said, "as Ensign Powell, j in the launch, supposed. I headed east ' until I got straight in. Then came the j firing. It was grand, flashing out from | one side, then the other, from those big guns on the hills, the Vizcaya, ly ing inside the harbor, joining in. "Troops from Santiago had rushed down when the news of the Merrirnac's coming was teJegraphed, and soldiers, lined the foot of the cliffs, firing wildly J across and killing each other with their j crossfire. "The Merrimac's steering gear broke as she got to Eatrella point Only j three of the torpedoes on her side ex ploded when I touched the button. A , huge submarine mine caught her full; amidships, hurling water high in the air and tearing a great rent in the Mer rimao's side. Her stern ran up on EHtrella point. "Chiefly owing to the work done by the mine, she began to sink slowl;< At that time she was across the chan nel, but before she settled the tide diifted her around. "We were all aft, lying on the deck. J Shells and bullets whistled around ua. j The six-inch shells from the V Tizcaya I came tearing into the Merrimac, crash- j ing into wood and iron and passing ' clear through, while the plunging shots j from the forts broke through her decks. 11 'Not a man must move,' I said, ! CAIMANERA, PRINCIPAL SPANISH CAMP ON GUANTANAMO BAY. and it was only owing to the splendid j discipline of the men that all of us ; were not killed, as shells sailed over us j and minutes became hours of suspense. | The men's mouths grew .parched,1 but . wo must lie there until daylight, I told them. » "Now and again one or the other of j the men lying with his face glued to j the deck and wondering whether the next shell would come our way,: would j say, 'Hadn't we better drop off now, | sir?' But I said, 'Wait till : daylight.' It would have been impossible to get the catamaran anywhere but to the shore, where the soldiers stood shoot ing, and I hoped that by daylight we might be recognized and saved. .. ■^ 'The grand old Merrimac kept sink ing. I wanted to go forward and see j the damage done there, where nearly 1 all the fire was directed, but one man J said that if I rose it would draw the ; fire on the rest; so I lay motionless. It j was splendid the * way. those men be- \ hayed. The fire of the soldiers, the batteries and the: Vizcaya was awful. "When the water came up on the Meriimac's decks the catamaran floated amid the wreckage, but was still made fast to the boom, and we caught hold of the edge and clung on, our heads being above' water. "A Spanish launch came toward the Merrimac. We agreed to capture her and run. Just as she .came close, the Spaniards saw us, and half a dozen marines jumped up and pointed, their rifles at our heads. > ... ,*| " .'ls there any officer in that boat to n receive a surrender of prisoners of war?' , I shouted. An old man leaned over under the awning and waved his hand. It was Admiral Gervera. The marines I6werfed 3 their rifles, and we were helped into the launch. f % ;\; "Then we were put in cells in Morro castle. Afterward we were taken into Santiago. I had the v court-martial j room in the barracks. My men were ~ kept prisoners in the hospital. " From my. window I could see the army mov- | * ing - across the open and being , shot j down by the Spaniards in the rifle pits in front of me. The Spaniards be came as polite as could be. - I knew something was coming, and then I was ::- exchanged." >- -^ -'--r.-W"-:v;".> ' ?X-.i : ...-:-:.-. i-■ .- * "■ . ■■' ■ - ' ./• -«.-,-v .

They fought desperately, but were shown no mercy by the Cubans, and were ma cheted to the last man. General Del rine, who was in: command, was bru tally - mutilated. ;The knowledge of this massacre found its way into Santi ago and prompted the Spaniards to die rather than surrender. . ; , j r . v S The voluntary surrender of some of the wounded Spanish officers 'and men has dispelled the delusion, and is help ing to induce General : Toial to consider the proposition to capitulate. 4 , fv After the fall of El.

CONDITIONS IN HAVANA. | The Poor Are Dying of " Starvation IB the Streets. Kingston, Jamaica, July 11.—The British oruiser Talbot, which left Ha vana Tuesday, arrived at Port Royal today with 23 passengers, among them Sir Alexander Gollan, British consul general at Havana, and Mr. Higglns, of the British consulate there, both on leave, which is given ias the only ex planation of their : departure. -'; Mr. Jerome has been i left in charge of Brit ish affairs in Havana. Mr. Higgins said: "The city of Havana is quiet, and there are no naw complications. The well-to-do inhabitants are subsisting tolerably; but the poor are dying of starvation in the streets. There are many sights of terrible misery. The barrack.B are , filled with _ starving women. "The soldiers are fairly | well , fed. General Blanco has been sending troops into the interior, it is said v en route to Santiago, but I do not see how they will get there. '~ "The blockade is maintained, and vessels aie frequently turned back. Everybody is anxious for the conclu sion of the war,' though the soldiers wish to fight, and all the officials are resolute. There is no flour in Havana, and no beets, while yams are scarce."' Sir Alexander Gollan declined to say anything on the condition of things at Havana. The other passengers on the Talbot are for the most part wealthy refugees. . ; .

He said: • ' - "The entire squadron was ordered to devote the fire of their guns to the bruiser Brooklyn, because •• it was be lieved that she was the only ship- in the American squadron that Id.over take us. When we got out of the har bor our v ship was second in * tbe line, and I saw our flagship was . getting a terrible* baptism of fire. ilt was fright ful. The Texas and Brooklyn were Just riddling her, and in 18 minutes I saw she was on fire. The lowa and the Oregon . were firing ?on the Oquendo, and as yet 1 had not been hurt badly. The Brooklyn was a half mile closer to us than any other ship, and 51 decided to try to ram her, so that the Colon and Oquendo £ could get \ away, and I started for her. She was a good mark with her big broadside, and as I started I thought surely I would get her, but she had evidently f seen us." Very quiclky she turned about and making a short circle, came at our port | side so that I thought she "^ would ,ram us.
