Merrimac sabotage and port blockade in war news
War news recounts that the Merrimac, sunk by American sailors led by Lieut Hobson, blocks the Santiago channel, trapping Cervera’s fleet and potentially forcing Spanish surrender. Reports from Cadiz and Santiago are mixed, with praise for the sailors and questions about renewal of the fleet’s movements and broader strategy. The piece also notes public demonstrations of Lafayette’s anniversary and various war-related editorials.
