He Had Hecn Ordered 1Invniidated
Home" by ~ Medical Board.
Washington. June - Capt. Charles
v. Gridley. commander OF the cruiser
Olympia, and one of the heroes OF the
brilliant victory at Manila, is dead.
The announcement of his death was
received by the department late yes
terday afternoon In a cablegram from
Paymaster Gait, of the navy, dated at
Kobe, Japan. and directed TO Secre-
tary Long. The dispatch contained
this simple statement:
capt. Gridley died to-day. Remains
accompany me on Coptic.'
Capt. Vernon Gridley is the first
American officer Of great prominence
whose death il a direct result OF the
existing war with Spain. As the conf
mander of Admiral Dewey's splendid
flagship. and enc OF the admiral's chief
advisers, Capt. Gridley achieved dis
tinction at the battle Of Manila bay
and added to his previous laurels by
winning high praise from his superiors
in the service for distinguished gal
lantry and ability. He fought his ship
from the coming tower, while@Admiral
Dewey directed the movements OF his
squadron from the bridge Of the ves-
sci. 1t was not known for several
weeks after the engagement that Capt.
Gridley
Had Suffered Injury
and even now the precise nature Of
his trouble is not known. On the ar
rival of the Seaire at Hongkong on
May "a the navy department was no.
tilted that Capt. Gridley had been coz
demned by a board of medical surgery
and invaded home" Subsequent adj
vices received by the department indi-
Gated that Capt. Gridley was suffering
from the effects OF a rupaure supposed
to have been received during the bat
tie at Manila, but no details were
made known. 1t was not supposed
that his illness was very serious as the
navy department was informed that
the captain, in company of Paymaster
Gait. would leave for home as soon as
possible.
On May % they left Hongkong on
the steamer CoptiC, me Of the vessels
of the Occidental and Oriental steam
ship line. 1t would appear that Capt.
Gridley died about the time the ship
reached Kobe. Capt. Gridley was not
a dress parade" officer. Among the
older officers of the service, especially
among those with whom he served, he
had the reputation of being n of the
best equipped officers of the navy.

United States Army officer Ipvents IN
Device for Firing High
Explosives.

New York, June Am officer In the
United States army has practically
completed a device for a detonadng
fuse to fire high explosives, says the
Press. Pierce is the officers name,
and as there are only two men of this
name in the regular army. one of whom
is post chaplain in Fort Apache, Ariz.,
1t is reasoned that the other Pierce is
the man. He is z. Il. Pierce, instructor
In West Point military academy and
second lieutenant of the Second in
fantry.
Every fact connected with the in
vention is hedged about with secrecy.
The device is not far from completion.
1t is possible that 1t is so far advanced
that il may be tried during the Spanish
war. 1t is not known where the ex-
periments are being conducted or how
far they have progressed.

The regiment was divided into hree
battalions, each detachment occupying
one train. The trains came In thirty
hve minutes apart, and while the first
train load was awaiting the arrival Of
the second and third the ladies Of the
Red Cross society entertained them.
The men were given a fine luncheon
and during the interval the Minnesota
volunteer band ~discoursed military
airs. The second and third battallons
were equally Wei received. After a
short rest the soldiers were mustered
into line and started on the march to
Camp Merritt. They were greeted all
along the line of march with cheers and
other demonstrations of welcome. The
South Dakota men, like their n~eighbors
from North Dakota, are a fine body OF
men, but are lacking in equipment. A
section Of ground has been prepared
for them at Camp Richmond and the
new arrivals are safely and comforta-
bly, quartered with the 1900 men who

CERyERA'S TOUGH PROBLEM
Spanish Admiral May Serve mp n
Sensational Exploit.

Spanish Admiral May Serve MP u
sensational Exploit.
Washington. June z. With all
chances of escape against him either by
successfully removing the wreck and
securing at least a channel to the sea,
a general feeling exists among naval
officers that some bold and almost
equally daring exploit as that of Con-
str1ictor Hobson will be attempted by
Admiral Ccrvera rather than blow up
his own vessels without an opportunity
10 fire a single shot at an American
vessel.
Opinions differ as to the chance Of the
four powerful armored cruisers and
torpedo boat destroyers becoming the
property of the United States, but most
naval men assert with great positive
ness that Cervera will never allow his
vessels to be taken, and that when he
finds NJ other alternative open to avoid
destruction or capture he will sink
them.
Large Troop Movement Expected
While admitting that the destruction
of the collier In the harbor of Santiago
places an entirely new phase upon the
naval situation in Cuban waters, Of
ficials of the navy department are not
prepared to issue instructions to Ad-
lpiral Sampson for the detachment OF
a main section of his feet until he has
Eeen heard from in detail.
Now that the Spanish admiral is no
longer to be regarded as a dangerous
factor in the transportation of large
bodies OF troops by sea to Peurto Rico
and Santiago, the war department is
preparing to take immediate steps for
forwarding several transports to both
places, and safe escort is to be afforded
them by the ships now a part of the
blockading feet off Havana, with other
vessels that are to be relieved from
further duty at Santiago. The army is
relieved of the necessity now CT waiting
further o. the navy to provide the
necessary vessels TO convoy the mer-
chant ships, and a large movement is
now expected to begin.
