dured during tho campaign which re
sulted in tho fall ol Sinttago. I havo no
belief that ho wroto In a complaining wny
but simply as astatomontof tacts as they ex
isted He knew that there wero ample rations
nboard the ships Ho knew tho Impossi
bilities ot getting them to the command moro
rapidly than they wero gotten. Ho know
the necessity ol remaining In lino or
battle and forcing tho attack to as early a
termination as possible. He knew that over
thlng was being done that could bo dono; but
this Hymputhotlc old gentleman, who is writ
ing In a. way to spread dissatisfaction
among our pooplo nt homo, and, In
fact, to misrepresent tho I.loutenant-Col-oncl
ho refers to, and casting unjust
reflection upon tho Commlssary-Gcnoral (than
whom a better nnd mote energetic and faithful
man never filled the oftlco). Is unpatriotic, un
just, and knows nothing about army life In war.
You and I know what this means. It has always
occurred and always will. That Is war and
wnr would not bo war without It. What a
shame that grumblers at homo aro trying to do
anything to eclirso the glory of that magnifi

lie Cnme Here to Conclude Arrangement
for Anlv-lng the Wrrtikn ot the Spanish
Cntlters At Every Step Admiring Ameri
cans Blocked the Merrlmno Hero's Wny.
Assistant Constructor Rlohinond F. Ilobson ot
tho United Status Navy camo to town yestorday
on Government business regarding the wreck
ing ol tho lato Spanish cntlsors Cristobal Co
lon nnd Maria Teresa. IIo transacted his
business with a rapidity and despatch that
was wondorful to see. When he reaches
Secretary Long In Washington he will lay bo
roro him preliminary contracts with the Mor
rltt &. Chapman Derrick and Wrecking Com
pany looking to the preservation ot both tho
ships. It his plans are carried out, Lieut. Hob
eon will reach Washington early to-day nnd bo
In New York again on Monday morning for
another conforenco with tho Morrttt A Chap
man pooplo.
Lieut Hobson camo to town on a train that
leaves Washington at midnight and lands Its
passongcrs In Now York just as folks
lioro aro opening their offices. Ho was,
thanks to tho familiarity of tho nows-papor-roading
public with his features,
recognized at ovory step. When ho left tho
train he went to tho station restaurant for
brenkiaBt, and the windows or tho room
wore Immediately flllod with tho faces of
admiring Amerioan cltlzons. Not a Itcw
camo In and paid for meals thoy ap
parently didn't want to cat in ordor
to get a close look at the last sklppor of tho
Merrlmac. When ho boarded a forryboat a
few minutes later either because ot his haste
or the frank admiration ot tho populace ho did
not oat much ho was again eurroundod. At
tho foot of Liberty street ho gnvo ono
of his qucor, critical squints nt tho crowd
that was gathering In West street nt thevory
mmor otitis coming, nnd ran Tor a cab. Part
or the crowd ran with him nnd oven chased the
cab a llttlo way up Liberty streot.
The cab wont dlroctly to the Wall stroetofuco
of tho wrecking company. Hobson was not
npparontly expectod then). Ho stated his
business torcBly. I, J. Morritt, Jr.. nnd
Cart. Bertram II. Herbert, w ho wore In charge
of tho offlco. w ere cry glad indeed to see him,
hut rathor ombarrnssod. Business of tho Im
portnueo he desired to transact could not bo
done, they assured him, without tho coopera
tion of I. J. Mcrrltt, Sr., who wns at Whlto
stono preparing for n cruise up the Sound on
his steam yneht Carrie.
" Isn't there any way I can bo put In com
munication with Mr. Mcrrltt.'" asked I.tout.
Hobson. " It Is ory important. Indeod, that
this business bo done nt once. The saving ot
the Cristobal Colon may depend upon It. Can't
jou reach him by telephone or telegraph?"
Cant. Herbert thought he could telephone to
Capt. Morrltt's hmiso and possibly prevent the
Carrie's starting hoforo Capt. Merrltt knew
that Lieut Hobson was looking for him.
In u qunrtorof an hour tho signals from the
shore had brought Capt. Morritt to tho White
stone end o( tlm telephone nnd he was talking
n 1th Mr. Hobson. Tho nobson end of tho con
vorsatlon was carried on in a tone that
everybody In tho office could hear. Tho naval
ofllier expressed a desiro to go to Whltc
stiino if that would accelerate matters.
Apparently Capt Morritt thought it would,
for voting Mr. Mcrrltt rccolved the tele
phono receiver from Mr. Hobson nnd
took Instructions from his father. I E. Chap
man of tho company, who had bcon sent for.
joined the party, nnd they started for the Ward
linapior. where tho Merrltt-Chapmnn tugs are
tied up.
In tho hall of tho building, however, they
met a great crowd ot office boys and telephone
girls and clerks and other people who

Mr Hobson and Mr. Morritt wero not fairly

therefore, bo easily scratched. Mr Hobson

tteaions Why Ills Construction Train Is
Behindhand,
This despatch from Oen. Miles waa printed
in TniBtm yesterday:
.On Boaiid TJ. B. B. Iaya J
. . - Mole St. Nicolas, July 22. 1
St-ritrvyirar,Huinotonl
.Am disappointed by non-arrival ot Col.
Ileckor with construction corps Col. Black ar
rived without snagboats or lighters. Plcaso
send at least four strong seagoing steam light
ers and tugs, also Gen Stono's boats at Jack
sonville. It not already sent, as aeon as possi
ble. Am moving along woll. Miles.
Why Gon. Miles had been thus disappointed
was loarnod hore yesterday. When ho out
lined to tho Secretary of War his plans for In
vesting Torto Rico he explained tho vital Im
portance ot having a construction train at tho
point ot debarkation as soon as tho first troop
ship nrrlvod thoro. Tho construction train was
promised, and Col. Frank J. Hccker was de
tailed to nt It out. Tho crnrt carrying this train,
eomo of the materials nnd mnchlnory for build
ing tompornry piers and some of tho skilled
mechanics and laborers wore obtalnod hero.
Other materials nnd more laborers wero
to bo supplied from Jacksonville, Fla. Tho
train which Col Hccker got togother was made
up as follows: Tho steamor Panama, takon as
aprlroln Cuban waters nnd bid In at public
auction by llio Government; tho ocean-going
tugs Britannia and Gladlsten, tho former bo
lng purchased by the Government and the lat
ter secured by charter: tho floating derrick
Monarch, upon whoso deck was lashed tho
light-draught tug Sahara, and six llghtors.
Tho Panama silled from here nbout a wook
ago with two steam pllo drivers, a quantity of
tlmbor. 100 skilled mechanics, and 200 labor
ers aboard. Tho rest of tho floet was to havo
sailed at tho same time, and did got outside
Sandy Hook. Then tho boilers of tho Britan
nia (tho purchased, not tho chartered. tug
broko down, and sho. togother with the Gladls
fon. tho floating derrick and tho lighters, had
to put back. Tho Britannia was bought by the
Governmont from tho Southern TacUlo
Railroad. An examination of hor boilers
showed that It would tako eomo tlmo
to got tho tug in Bhnpe for sea. Thoroforo.
tho tug Do Witt C Ivlns was chartered to ac
company the Britannia Gladlsten and tho
lighters as far as Fort Monroe, tho hope being
that tho Britannia could he got In shapo on tho
wny down. This proved to bo Impossible, and
as a result tho threo tugs, tho floating derrick
and tho lighters havo been lying at Fort Mon
roe for four or fho days. In tho mcantlmo tho
Norwegian steamor Uto was chartered, and
sailed from hero day beforo yestonlay for
Charleston, whero sho was to take on Gen Roy
Btono nnd then proeood to Jacksonville, whero
sho wns to tako on C00.OO0 foetof lumber and
300 negro laborers
When Gen. Miles tolographed to tho Secre
tary of Wnr that ho was disappointed at not
finding, when he arrived at Mole 8t..NIcolas.
Col. Hccker's construction train, it appears that
tho President did n llttlo Inquiry onhisown
hook to find out In the name of common sonso
and other things why that construction train
was not whero Gen. Miles cxpoctcd It to bo.
What ho found out. furthor thnn that tho train
was stalled at Fort Monroe, is not known hero.
It Is known, however, that Col. Hockornnd nil
hlsnsslstants mndon great hustling yesterday
to get tho train off.
Col. Heckor telegraphed to tho Quarter
master in charge at FortMonroo that he would
reach thcro this morning Then ns a result of
furthor telegraphing nnd telephoning a sea
going tug wns either chnrtcrod or bought at
Norfolk. Then Col Heckor sent his right-hand
man. Trunk E Korby. to New York to Inspect a
tug capable of going to sea, nnd known a9 tug
150. owned by somo ono In Philadelphia The
tug arrived from Philadelphia jestcrday morn
ing a short tlmo beforo Mr. Kerby got hero.
Mr. Kerbs, by tho way. Is a civilian from De
troit. Whether the tug was bought or char
tered is not known, but it Is known that Mr.
Kerby. nfter Inspecting her, said sho would do
to join tho flcot of construction craft at Fort
Monroe. Sho will probably proceed thither
this morning.
Tho rannmals with the transports carrying
Gen. Miles's troops. Whether she will bo able,
with tho men and materials she carries, to bo
of matorlal assistance In landing the army. Is
doubted hero. Tho rest of tho construction
train may reach tho point of debarkation in
tlmo to land tho last detachment, but it will
certainly not get thero in tlmo to dotho work
Gen. Miles expected It to do. It Is expected
that tho Uto will bo oft Torto Rico by next
Wednesday.

The place had becomo an Intolerable nuisance,

themsohos Individually, brought In tho Stit H
Bupromo Court, for $100,000 damngos for al- H
leged fnlso representations to tho detriment ot
tho plaintiffs. H
Tho basis of tho oomplalnt is that Smith and M
Coballos. for tho purpose of securing tho con- IB
tract, stated to tho Bocrotary of War and to (B
Assistant Quartermastor-Genorol Hooker that Bj
n number of tho competing companies, among Bj
which thoso represented by Lord wore includ. BJ
od, could not carry out the contract to trans. BJ
port tho Spanish prisoners it thoy secured It, Bj
ono reason given being that thoy could not gtt a flL
tho necessary numbor of ships. He
In addition to this suit for damages. Lawyer B
Btanton has prepared and will forward to-day B
to United States Circuit Judge Lacombo, who , jB
Is at his summer rcsldenoe. nn application for jft
an injunction to restrain tho Spanish lino com- j3j
panyfrom carrying out Its contract with tin Km
Government. uH
"Wo tako this action upon tho following fm
grounds," said Mr. Btanton yestorday: "First, aj
that tho contract Is void for tho reason that It j.'B
specifications wore altered after tho bids were tin
opened. Theso specifications required that ths RS
vessels In which tho prisoners wero to bo trans- Ell
ported must bo rendy within ton dnys. but Si
twenty-ono days has boon allowed to tho Spanish MA
company. Socond, that tho contract Is contra- S
ry to tho law of nations, which forbids a nation S
at war to havo business relations with a publla yB
enemy. Third, that publio opinion is against wt
paying tributo to tho Spanish Government. 9
which would bo dono It tho contract 9
with tho Bpanlsh lino company wore carriod fm
out, for it is required by tho Cortos to turn w
over half of Its profits to tho Bpanlsh Govern- Wt
mont ns n war tax. Thus half of tha very Wu
money wo pay for tho transportation of the
prlsonors could bo used against us. Our fourth Mi
ground is that tho ofllocrs of the United Stntes B
Govommont as cltlzons cannot carry out the fS
contract with the Spanish company, for tho Cfl
reason that, as part of tho monoy would Ky
go to tho Spanish Government, they yK
would bo guilty of treason In afford- jtt)
Ing aid to an enemy. Mr. Coballos and lfft
Mr. Smith are also dobarred from carrying out "nlf
tho contract for tho samo reason thoy nro
cltlzons of tho United States, nnd it would bu
treason for them to do so nnd thus aid the Bj
enemy. On theso grounds I havo also written JR
to United States District Attorney Burnett, '19
asking him to tako action in the matter M
"I hero is another important notnt in connec-
tlon with tho contract as awarded, and that Is JH
that tho Spanish company could not bo held "

Representatives ot Mr, Smith, who is out of M
town, and of tho Bpanlsh lino compiny sild
yosterday that the factor that company having fJm
secured the contract would tend greatly to pro- KJ
mote peace. They said that the papers havo Sk
nil been signed, and that tho contract cannot 'm
be Invalidated M
"Wo shall carry out tho work of transporta- M
