to Admiral Cervera,
Lieut. Hob3on tells the story of
his adventure with the Alerrimac,
n which he says he steered the ship
where he wanted it, but ffhat only
thrte of the torpedoes exploded when
he touched the button. A mine exs
ploded and tore a hole in the side of
the Merrimac: which helped her to
ink, but it sank so slowly that the
tide drifted her around from across
pe channel as 'she at first was. All!
t ie while the Spanish batteries were
pouring a terrific fire upon her, be
side the infantry rushed to ' the
shore end fired upon them. They
lay perfectly still on the deck wait
ing for daylight in which -to surren

and surrendered to Admiral Cervera

A BOUKTY TO THE VIGHTBB8.
How tfee Savjr Fis&teys Will Snare
the Proceeds,
The New York Sun observes' that
the goyernmest psjs a bounty to its
fighters that will probably amount to
170,000 in the naval fight at ban-
tias;o. One hundred dollars; per
man on board of an enemy s vessel is
given to the crew that defeats her
when the strength of the enemy is
inferior, and $200 for every man on
the enemys's ship is allowed if the
enemy is defeated and sunk by her
equal or superior.
Jnthe case of the Furor and the
Pluton which were knocked to pieces
by the Corsair the advantage of
w ,. , . n
strength is said to have been clearly
on the Spanish V Bide. There were
about 135 men on the two and the
victory-will secure a bounty of about
$27,000. In 'several cases in that
fight it is believed that the.200 rate
will be allowed, bringing up the
amount of the bounty to something
like $170,000.
In the division the Commander of
the fleet gets 1-20 ; - the command
ing -officer.; of -'a division gets 1-50 ;
the .fleet Captain gets 1-100 ; e&ch
captain of a vessel gets i 1-10 of the
amount assigned to that vessel and
the remainder ia divided by giving
each a, certain per cent on his wages
that will dispose of the sum.

Mr. Z W Koseman 'was baptized

lowly Joseph Smith . The mode was
immersion, for the remission of
sins, the laying on of hands and the
reception of the Holy Ghost, His
first baptism was in infancy by a
Lutheran minister, his second ex
perience was immersion by a Baptist
brother, and the third by Elder Jeff,
