chancery court mere for receiver for the
dividend trust bonds of the Elyton Land

The old bonds are secured by 100000 of

A HERO OF MANILA DEAD.
Capt. Gridley, of the olympia, Dies In
Japan on His Way Home.

Capt. Gridley, OF the Olympia, Dies In
Japan on His Way Home.
Washington: Capt. Charles V. Grid
Icy, 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. IL 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 Adj
miral Dewey's 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
the precise nature of his trouble is not
disclosed, but the navy department
was notified that Capt. Gridley had
been condemned by a medical board
and ''invalided home" Subsequent
advices indicated that Capt. Gridley
was suffering from the effects of a 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 9s 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.

The first death among the boys of
the Michigan Naval Reserves was that
of Clarence r. Wagner, aged IS, of De-

spinal meningitis.
After many weary weeks of waiting,
the U. S. auxiliary cruiser Yosemite,
Capt. Emory in command, and having
on board the Michigan Naval Reserves,
weighed anchor in Hampton Roads,
and, after being guided through the
dangerous mine fields, increased speed,
reached Cape Henry two hours later
and pointed her nose to the south, as n
convoy to the gunboat America, which
was bound for Key West with large

Spanish Spies to be Expelled from Canada

/
The recent seizure of documents by
L. S. detectives in the house at Mon
treal. Que, occupied by Senior Du Bose
and Lieut. Carranza, formerly of the
Spanish legation at Washington, has
revealed the whole workings of the
Spanish spy system in the United
States 1t shows that through Span
ish agents the Madrid government and
the Admiral Cervera.s fleet has been
kept advised of every move made by
the u. :. The information secured
from the documents secured resulted
in the arrest of over so suspected spies
at Washington and Tampa and when
the U. S. government had communi-
Gated the facts of the case to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador
at Washington, the latter cabled the
entire matter to London. U. 5. Am
bassador Hay, at London, also made a
strong case against the Spanish spies
and received assurances that steps
would be taken at once to eXpel Car
rama, Du Bose and their aids from
British territory.
After the Spaniards discovered that
the documents which revealed their
secrets had been stolen they caused the
arrest of Private Detective Kellert on
a charge of theft. They failed to make
out n case, however, and now Kellert
has had both Du Bose and Carranza ar
rested for false Imprisonment and he
demanded $4,000 damages. They Sc
cured their liberty under heavy bail,
but their troubles were not yet over as
they were informed that proceedings
are likely to be begun against them for
violation of the neutrality laws.
