Commodore Hichborn Wants Hobson to Remain in the Construction Corps. New York, July 15. A Tribune special from Washington says: Commodore Ilichborn, chief con structor of the nayy, sent the follow ing letter to the hero of the Merrlmac at Santiago. "Now that you have safely passed the danger of your' perilous under taking, It is with great pleasure that I extend to you my sincere congratu lations on your heroic conduct at San tiago, In approving your request for assignment to the squadron I ex pected that you would prove a valu able acquisition through your pro fessional attainments. All expecta tions hayo been surpassed, and I again congratulate you on the per formance and the brilliant future be fore you." Commodore Ilichborn, while averso to being placed in the position of ex erting any influence in the matter, is exceedingly anxious that ITobson shall cot be transferred to the line of the navy, but shall retain his position In tho construction corps, where his re markable ability may be utilized for the best interest of the service The young iconstructor, before ho joined Admiral Sampson's fleet, had already demonstrated his capacity in ship designing, and while the navy is rich in brave officers, with the in crease in the number of ships aud tho strength of tho nayy, Jt is believed that Constructor ITobson has a greater career before him as a constructor than as a commander. Ills opportu nities for Impressing his Individuality are thought to bo much greater In the staff than In the line, and as he has up to this time given no Intima tion that he desires a transfer, it Is not believed that he will consent to abandon his profession.
