a HERO OF MANILA DEAD.
Capt. Gridley, of the olympia, Dies In
/ japan on His Way Home.

Capt. Gridley, of the olympia, Dies I'm
Japan on His Way Home.
Washington: Capt. Charles V. Grid
ley, of Hillsdale, Mich, who COM
manded the cruiser Olympia in the
battle of Manila, died at Kobe, japan,
while on his way home from Manila
on sick leave. 1t is expected he was
wounded and the fact concealed. The
navy department has not yet given out
an official list of the wounded at the
battle of Manila.
Capt. Gridley is the first American
officer Of great prominence whose death
is direct result of the existing war
with Spain. AS the commander OF Ad-
miral Deweys splendid flagship and
one of the admiral's chief advisers,
Capt. Gridley achieved distinction at
the battle of Manila bay and added to
his previous laurels by winning high
praise from his superiors in the service
for distinguished gallantry and ability.
1t was not known for several weeks
after the engagement that Capt. Grid
ley had suffered from it, and even now
VIC precise ndJure VI Ills tTouoic 10 hoe
disclosed, but the navy department
was notified that Capt. Gridley had
been condemned by medical board
and '"invalided home Subsequent
advices indicated that Capt. Gridley
was suffering from the effects of rup-
ture supposed to have been received
during the battle of Manila, but no de-
tails were given. 1t was not supposed
that his illness was very serious as the
department was informed that the cap
tain was in company with Paymaster
Gait and would leave for home as soon
as possible. On May 20 they left Hong
Kong on the steamer Coptic and it is
probable that Capt Gridley died about
the time the ship reached Kobe. His
remains are being brought home on
the Coptic.

To Invade Porto Rico Very Soon.

Washington: limitations are given
that the present military movement
will be directed against Porto Rico, as
well as eastern Cuba. Gen. Lee having
left Tampa for Jacksonville, on the
eastern side of the Florida peninsula,
to open headquarters there, but one
inference can be drawn from this move
ment namely, that Jacksonville is to
be made a base of operation against
situated for this purpose; in fact, it far
surpasses Key West as base for oper-
atoms, even against any of the eastern
points of Cuba. The terminus of an
excellent railroad system leading from
the north and west, with good steam
boat connection with New York, with
a navigable river affording a good har-
Dor, and distant only 1,200 miles from
San Juan in an air line, Jacksonville
leaves little to be desired as base of
military operation.
There seems to be little doubt that
the plan of campaign contemplates the
reduction of Porto Rico, and the Presi-
ueHJ 10 oelHS stionSif uIBeu W pcS III
this movement even before any serious
attempt is made upon Havana, so that
Porto Rico would be ours, before Spain
sues for peace. 1t can be stated that
for several days frequent conferences
have been held with prominent Porto
Rican, thoroughly conversant with the
situation in that island, and able to
give exact information as to the Span
ish strength and defenses there.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

The following case was printed originally
IN The Monitor, a newspaper published ut
Meadford, Ontario. Doubts were raised as
to its truthfulness, consequently a close
watch was kept on the case for two years
and the original statement has now been
completely verified.
Mr.. Petch had been a hopeless paralytio
for five years. His case has had wide at
tention. He was confined TO his bed, was
bloated almost beyond recognition, and
could not take solid food. Doctors called
the disease spinal sclerosis, and oil said he
could not live. The Canadian Mutual Life
Association, after thorough examination,
paid him his total disability claim of 81 $50,
regarding him as forever incurable.
For three years be fingered in this condi-

sensation, until at last the blood began to
course freely and vigorously through his
body. Soon he was restored to his old
time health
A reporter for The Monitor recently
called on Mr.. Petch again and was told
You may say there is no doubt as to my
cure being permanent. i am in better
health than when gave you the first in
terview, and certainly attribute my cure
to DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
ITO these pills owe my release from the
living death, and shall always bless the
day was induced TO take them"
Such is the history Of one of the most re-
markable cases in modern times. In the
face OF such testimony, can anyone say
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not en-
titled TO the careful consideration of every
sufrerer-man, woman or childl Is not the
