WHAT HAS BECOME
 OF THE PHANTOM
 FLEET OF SPAIN?

NEW YORK, May I8.-While naval authorities believe Ha- vana is the ultimate destina- tion of Admiral Cervera s. squadron, and the Herald dis patches show that General Blanco is expecting it, Secre- tary Long has the impression that it may turn up at Porto Rico. The question is, Where is it now1 Advices to the Herald from Panama state that the rumor is current in Colon that the Spanish ships may come there to coal. Navy officials believe if the fleet is not already at San Juan, it is coaling somewhere off the Venezuela coast. Neither the Navy Department nor the Herald has been able to con- firm the reported presence of the fleet at San Juan, although the Washington authorities place great credence in this report One thing is certain: Admiral Cervera's delay in seeking battle has afforded Simpsons and Schley's fleets an opportunity to effect a junction of their forces.

How Gladstone Became One of the Greatest Statesmen of Modern
 Times

No Englishman of this century stood so high in certain qualities of states manship as MT. Gladstone It is un- necessary to institute comparisons in preceding centuries. The leaders of those past generations were not states men of the legislative national type at all. They were the heads of parties. mostly aristocratic, on one side or the other, Wings or Tories, or they were the personal agents or favorites of the monarchy. Statesmen protesting to act for the people can hardly be said

HAWARDEN, May 1S.-William E.. Gladstone died at 5 o'clock this morn ing. MT. Gladstone had been uncon- scious practically all day, though at times he seemed to recognize for a mo- ment some of the watchers about him. Certainly he did recognize his wife, who was beside him all day. except when the physician prevailed upon her to rest. She tenderly clasped her hus- hands hand as she watched him. Ap- parently he slept good deal; occa- sionally he uttered a few words in an incoherent, dreamy way; words which those who were watching were unable to catch. Their only consolation was that he was not suffering pain. No narcotics were administered.
 Though a national funeral will prob ably be accepted by the family, there is little doubt that the remains of MT. Gladstone will be laid to rest in the peaceful graveyard at Hawarden ad- joining the church where he was mar ried more than half a century ago.

Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

tr.-fatheri and son--iaye spent their
last night In jail with the terrible Charge
Of taking another mans life banging
over them. This morning they will be

Gated condition. Prettynan died Fri

arrested for the second time, and have
since been confined In the county jail,
awaiting the result Of the coroner's In
quest. ~.

the following jury acting: George Bow
man. Chris. Re,tz. Charles Bryson.
George Foreman, George Zulauf and

The principal witnesses were Drs.
Armbrecht and H. F. Ford, and It was
mainly upon their testimony that the
jury brought In verdict to the effect
that Prettyman came TO his death by
natural causes, thus freeing the Eberles
from responsibility, greatly to the relief
OF the large majority OF the people Of
the lower end Of the city, who have
shown much interest In the case. Ac-
cording to the estlmony Of the physi-
