He Is Related to the Morehads off
Thlsaty and Is nown Here.
Some of our citizens remember Lieu
tenant Richmond P. Hobson, who vis
ited relations in this city three or four
years ago and was the guest of Mr.
Joseph M. Morehead.
He is the nephew and not the grand
son of ex-state senator S. M. Hobson
(as stated in some of the papers) of
Davie county. His grandmother, An
nie Morehead Hobson, is still living
in Davie county, is 87 years old and
partially blind, but with intellect un
clouded. She is the daughter of a
revolutionary soldier and her mater
nal grandfather, Capt. Joseph Motley,
was a captain in the regiment of Col.
George Washington . and served in
what is known as the "French and
Indian war," which began in 1755 and
lasted seven years. Captain Hobson
had six sons in the revolutionary war.
Judge Hobson, the father of Lieu
tenant Hobson, was a classmate at the
University of Maj. Chas.M. Stedman
of this city.
Major Stedman and Judge Hobson
served together during the civil war
and the major is authority for the
statement that at Spottsylvania Hob
son, the father, showed bravery as
conspicious as did the son at Santia
go. The crew who accomplished the
daring feat of sinking the Merrimac
were Lieutenant Richmond P. Hobson,
assistant naval constructor, and Dan
iel Montague, George Charette, J. C.
Murphy, Oscar Deignan, Join P.
Phillips, John Kelly and H. Clausen.
The latter is a coxswain of the New
York, and took part in the expedition
against orders.
Captain Hobson started on his peril
ous trip at 3 o'clock in the morning
and under cover of clouds over the
moon stole close in shore before the
Merrimac was discovered, then a gun
from Morro opened on his ship and
was answered by the other batteries
across the bay. She was followed by
a steam launch under Cadet Powell
who waited for some time for the crew
to appear, but seeing no signs of them
put back and reported that the Merri
mac had been sunk squarely across
the channel blockading it. Later the
Spanish Admiral sent an officer to the
New York under a flag of truce to say
that the men had floated ashore and
were safe but prisoners.
A Splendid Record.
Mr. George H. Royster has been
the financial secretary of Endowment
Rank, K. of P. of this city for the
past ten years, handling many thou
sands of dollars for the insurance de
partment of the organization, and has
conducted it in a manner highly satis
factory to the policy holders as well as
the board of control.
Last year he scored a brilliant rec
ord in surpassing -all 'Other domains
in the United States in percentage of
membership. We are pleased to state
that Mr. Royster will continue as
manager of this department as hereto
fore and will collect all assessments
and dues.
New Department Added.
Mr. N. J. McDuffie, Greensboro's
largest furniture dealer, in fact, one
of the largest in the state, has aaaea
undertaking as a branch of his busi-
js. He received the first instalment
of goods for that department today.
He has puschased a handsome hearse,
which will soon arrive. This depart
ment wi 11 receive close attention and
will be first class in all its appoint
ments. Mr. McDuffie, in addition to
a mammoth line of furniture, recently
put in a complete line of all kinds of
house furnshing goods.

Saturday Night English Praise
tlobson's Daring Exploit.
By Wire to Ths Txljdgram.
New York, June 6 A special to the
Evening Journal from Cape Haytien
says that at daybreak this morning
the disembarking of the American
troops at Santiago began. The troops
landed at Agu adores a few miles
to the east of the entrance to
the harbor. The landing was made
under cover of Sampson's guns, the
batteries of the enemy having first
been silenced. At 7:55 o'clock when

She Sunk a Spanish Torpedo Boat with One Shot.
the desratch boat left for the cable
office the cannonading was rapidly
increasing.
LANDING CONFIRMED.
New York, June 6 A special to the
Journal from Mole St. Nicholas, Hay
tl, says that the auxiliary cruiser St.
Louis arrived there this morning with
despatches from Admiral Sampson for
the navy department at Washington.
She reported that five thousand Amer
ican troops were landed to the east of
Santiago early this morning under the
protection of the blockading squadron.
The landing party included a battal
ion of engineers and the batteries of
siege artillery.
ENGLISH PRAISE HOBSON.
London, June 6 Every evening
paper in the city echoes the morning
papers in unstinted praise of Lieuten
ant Hobson's daring exploit with the
Merrimac. The gallant deed was ably
planned and pluckily executed.
SATURDAY NIGHT'S BATTLE.
Madrid, June 6 A despatch to the
Imparcial from Santiago de Cuba
says that at 10 o'clock Saturday night
twenty American warships attacked
Santiago but stood so far out to sea
that none of the shots reached the dis
tant forts. The bombardment was
continued for 45 minutes and then
stopped suddenly. It has not been
resumed. The Spaniards made no
reply waiting for a nearer approach
of the ships but they kept their dis
tance. On Sunday sixteen American
warships were still moored in sight of
Santiago.
THE HERALDO STORY.
London, June 6 A central news de
spatch from "Vienna says that informa
tion has been received there from a
private source that the equipment of
the Cadiz squadron, consisting of the
Emperado Carlos V, Patriota and
Rapido is proceeding in the slowest
manner and the ships are far from
hinr readv for sea. The news of the
0
departure of the squadron is incorrect
The Star correspodent at Madrid says
that the Heraldo has started a theory
that a part of the Cape Verde fleet has
gone to the Philippines. It announces
that the Cristobal Colon, a torpedo
boat destroyer and three auxiliary
cruisers, painted and rigged to look
like the cruisers Almirante .Oquendo,
Jnfanta Maria Teresa and Vizcaya
have been sent to Santiago as a blind
The real battleships have reached
Madagascar under instructions from
Madrid to Droceed via Cape of Good
Hope. The Spanish cabinet has in
structed Senor Leon y Castillo, Span
ish embassador to Paris, to negotiate
a loan of a half billion pesetas, giv
ing railway concessions as security
for the loan.
Reverends Palmore, Tucker and Allen
Instruct Large Congregations.
Yesterday was ' a field day at the
Methodist churches in this jcity. At
both the morning and evening services
West Market and Centenary churches
were well filled to listen to entertain
ing and instructive sermons by the
ministers whose names appear above.
At - West Market 'Street church Dr.
Palmore preached to a large congre
gation at 11 o'clock. At. the same
hour, Rev. C. Tucker, a missionary
for twelve years in Brazil preached a
splendid descriptive sermon in Cen
tenary. Mr. Tucker revealed some
startling facts in regard to the situa
tion1 in South -America. He related
many interesting and touching inci
dents connected with the mission work
in the distribution of Bibles, down
there, and impressed upon his hearers
the point that wherever the Bible goes
light begins to dawn, and there is im
mediate demand for preachers to ex
plain its truths.
At the evening services Dr.Palmore,
who has travelel more, perhaps in the
same number of years, than any min-
ister on the globe, preached at Centen
..... .. .
ary. Ana wmie traveling he was a
close observer. He told more in his
sermon last night, about the different
religions of the world, than this
writer has ever heard in the same
length of time. He is amagnetic speak
er, and possesses the ability to at once
rivet the attention of every one
in his audience. At the same
hour Dr. Young J. Allen, who
is perhaps the oldest missionary to a
foreign field, in point of service, liv
ing delighted, entertained and instruct
ed the West Market congregation with
adiscourse on the habits and customs
of the Chinese and the work and prog
ress of the missionaries in the Orient
Dr. Allen has been a missionary to
China for about forty years and no
man, perhaps, knows more of the situ
ation among the Celestials than Dr,
Allen.
Capt. Qrldley Dead.
Washington, June 6 Capt. Charles
V. Gridley, commander of the cruiser
Olympia and one of the heroes of the
brilliant victory at Manila, is dead.
The announcement oi his death was
received by the navy department, late
this afternoon, in cablegram from
Kobe, Japan, June 4th, and directed
to 'Secretary Long. The dispatch
contained this simple statement: ' 'Cap
tain Gridley died today. Remains
accompany me on Coptic."
. The riohican Sails For Manila.
San Francisco, June 5 The United
States sloop of war Mohican, came
down from the Mare Island navy yard
today, and after a brief delay, sailed
at 12:30 p. m., for Honolulu. It is un
derstood that she will remain on duty
at that port, replacing the Benning
ton, ordered to join Admiral Dewey's
fleet at Manila. The coast defence
vessel Monterey and the big collier
Brutu. which is to tow her from the
Hawaiian Island to the Philippines,
will probably sail tomorrow evening
Soldiers Rations Reduced.
Cape Haytien, June 5 A dispatch
from a government source at Port-au-
Prince eays: "A Haytien informant,
now in Santiago de Cuba, cables that
the destitution there has . greatly in
creased since the bombardment began
and the military commander has been
forced to reduce the rations of the sol
diers', among whom there is much dis-
constent. " ,There has been no direct
communication from Santiago,' thus
far today.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 6, 11 a. m.
Advices from Port Antonio state
that it is uncertain whether the Span
ish torpedo boat sunk by the Oregon
was the Terror or Furor. The Oregon
Bighted the torpedo boat sneaking
toward the harbor and signalled her
to stop. The signal of the Oregon was
improperly answered and the warship
fired a 13-inch shell striking the torpedo
boat fairly amidship. The torpedo
boat instantly sank, all hands aboard
being drowned. Advices from Fort
De France say that the Terror is still
there but is disabled. If this report
be true the torpedo boat was probably
the Furor sent ahead as a scout for
the Cadiz squadron of Admiral Cam-
ara.
REPORT CONFIRMED.
Kington, Jamaica, June 6 The
sinking of the Spanish torpedo boat
Terror or Furor by the warship
Oregon has been confirmed by advices
from Port Antonio.
LANDING OF TROOPS.
Washington, June 6 It is expected
that news of the landing of troops at
Santiago will be received in a day or
two. According to the best informa
tion obtainable as to the time when the
first detachment left the Florida coast
the first military forces, consisting for
the most part of engineers, shoul ar-
rive at Santiago toaay. ine war de
partment still guard the plans for the
occupation of Santiago with the great
est care and absolutely nothing can
be learned concerning them. The time
when the main body of troops will be
embarked cannot be learned but it may
be today . The fact has been well estab
lished that the conditions at Santiago
demand the immediate landing of troops
Little time will be lost in embarking
12000. The administration has already
designated the troops intended for that
duty. Secretary Alger has prepared
a Ust of the Spanish prisoners now at
Atlanta for exchange through the
navy department for 'Lieutenant Hob
son and his gallant crew. So soon
as the exchange has been approved
by Secretary Long the exchange will
be made.
WALLACE NOT APPOINTED.
Washington, June 6 The indica
tions are now that Lew Wallace will
fail of his appointment as a major-
general of volunteers owing to his ex
treme age, he being now 71 years old.
CONDITIONS IN HAVANA.
Havana, June 6, (uncensored) The
city is longing for the coming of the
Spanish warships under Camara. The
fortifications have been greatly
strengthened and the area of cultiva
tion largely increased. The prices of
food continue constantly on the rise
and there is great distress among the
unemployed of the city who are num
erous. The failure of the autonomist
government becomes clearer every
day.
MONTEREY SAILS.
San Francisco, June 6 The monitor
Menterey accompanied by the Collier
Brutz sailed this morning for the
Philippines by way of Honolulu where
she will join the Mohican.
REPORT DENIED.
New York, June 6 A special to the
Tribune from Mole St. Nichlas says
that advices from the. flagship New
York deny that a Spanish torpedo
boat has been sunk by the'Oregon.
WAR APPROPRIATION MADE.
Washington, June e The urgency
deficiency bill carrying an appropria
tion of 117,750,000 for the war and
navy departments was passed by the
senate and house this afternoon.

dred passengers aboard came down
this morning over the C. F. & Y. V.

of Mt. Airy's prominent people are
in the party. They will leave on their
return trip about 6:30 this evening.

5EIZINO DOQS ANEf GOATS.
The Virginia Troops Had a Penchant
for North Carolina's Pets.
Mr. Fred L. Merritt, our special
war correspondent at Jacksonville
wired yesterday that the North Caro
lina troops met the Virginians at camp
and gave them the freedom of the
place.
The Richmond Dispatch's special
from Jacksonville has some items that
will interest North Carolinians. We
quote:
1 The trip through was not entirely
without accident. At Battleboro,N.C,
one of the men of the third section,
with the usual penchant of the boys
for pets and mascots, caught up a
beautiful dog as the train was pulling
out, and taking it into the car, carried
it to J acksonville and into camp. At
Selma Colonel Baker received a tele
gram from a physician in Battleboro,
saying the dog was his little girl's;
that her grief was uncontrolable, and
asking that it be returned. Colonel
Baker wired that he would have the
dog sent back when Jacksonville was
reached.
TOOK GOAT AND CART.
"But the feat of a member of Com
pany It is the talk: of tne camp, up
at a little North Carolina town the
train stopped for a few minutes, and
the instant it started he seized a goat
and cart standing on the platform and
dragged both up the steps and into his
car. He has the goat in the camp to
night, but the cart is not to be seen.
He swears the billy came up into the
car of his own accord. News and Ob
