Death OF the Commander of the Cruiser
Olympia.
Washington, June 7.-Captain Chas.
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 re-
ceived at the navy department this
afternoon in cablegram from Pay
master Gait, of the navy, dated Kobe,
Japan, June 4, and directed to Secre-
tary Long. The dispatch contained
this simple statement:
Captain Gridley died today. The
remains accompany me on the Coptic." I"
Captain Charles Vernon Grid 'ey is
the first American officer of great prom
inence whose death is direct result Of
the existing war with Spain. AS the
commander Of Admiral Dewey's splen-
did flagship and one OF the admiral's
chief advisers, Captain Gridley
achieved distinction at the battle Of
Manila bay and added to his previous
laurels by winning high praise from
his superiors for distinguished gallan-
try and ability. He fought his ship
from the coming tower. while Ad-
miral Dewey directed the movements
Of the squadron from the bridge OF the
vessel. 1t was not known for several
weeks after the engagement that Cap
tain Gridley had suffered from 1t, and
even now the precise nature of his
trouble Is not disclosed,

No Room for Lieutenant Carispza IN the
Dominion Of Canada.

Washington. June 7.--Steps have
been taken by which Lieutenant Car.
rama, who has conducted the Spanish
spy system at Montreal, with Ills asso-
ciate, Senior dn Bose, the former first
secretary Of the Spanish legation here,
will be expelled from Canada within
the next few days. unless they adopt
their own means to leave before an in
ternational question is raised AS to
their presence in Canada. The Car
ranza letter, detailing his spy system,
was communicated to the British am
bassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote, to-
gether with all other information
bearing ON the operations Of the Span
iaVds in Canada. The ambassador was
quick to act in the matter, and. with
out awaiting the slow process Of the
mail he cabled the entire matter to The
foreign office.
No doubt is entertained as to the
speedy action OF the authorities at Lnu-
don, now that specific case has been
made out against the Spanish officials
in Canada. They would have taken
the initiative, had there been more
than suspicion as to the operations Of
Cafranza. But the Carranza letter WAS
proof positive, and the British officials
will move quickly:and:of their own voli
tion toward securing adequate redress.
The state department has not cablel
Ambassador Hay, not deeming it nee
essary to do more than simply lay the
facts before the British ambassador
here. 1t is expected Lord Salisbury
will call the attention of tho Spanish
government to the undesirability of
having Carranza and du Bose remain
in Canada. as their actions are so obvi-
ously hostile to The United States.

Port au Prince. Hayti, June g.
This morning at o'clock, the Ameri-
can squadron began the bombardment
of the Notifications of Santiago de Cuba,
and lively cannonading ensued for
two hours, which silenced the Spanish
batteries.
An American vessel, the Meirimac,
described in the cable from Santiago as
an auxiliary cruiser, made dash TO
force the entrance, succeeded in passing
the first line Of defenses, but was tor
pedoed about 500 feet up the channel.
She went down tperprndicularly." Z"
An officer, an engineer and six seamen
were taken prisoners. The number of
victims is unknown.
Only the funnel and mastheads of
the sunken vessel can be seen.
There is great excitement in the city.
A part of the population assisted in
the fighting on the heights. Every
body is astounded at the audacity OF
the American vessel.
The American squadron was cruising
all the while iii the offing.

Port au Prince, June 7.--According
to the latest advices from Santiago de
Cuba, there were not more than IL
ships in the offing all day. and il is
believed there that the three missing
vessels have gone for provisions and
munitions OF war.

reports that yesterday. at Mole st.

1t was ascertained from passengers
on the voldregue that the Resolute

and Mole st. Nicholas. by two Spanish
coIvettes. From the same source, it
is learned that Admiral Cervera's g
squadron is not, in it's entirety, in
the port of Santiago de Cuba, but that
only cruiser, supposed to be the
Colon, one torpedo-boat and two auxil-
iary cruisers are there.

that this arises from a confusion be-
