DERBY srABB1NG AFFRAY.
Paul Brown, a Canadtan, the Victim
 He May Die,


 Derby, May 17.-It is among the prob abilities that this city is going to add to the list of the states murderous crimes as the result of an assault com. mitted tonight. The victim is Paul Brown, a Canadian, and his assailant is Joseph Sparance, an Italian. Brown is suffering with a stab in the right side fully four inches deep, and his chances for recovery at present are about even, if blood poisoning does not set in.
 "Camptown," which bears an unen- viable reputation, was the scene of the assault Brown lives in the same block that Sparance is a tenant of, and it is said that to-night's stabbing was the outcome of a disparaging remark made by Brown regarding some of Sparance's relatives. Sparance has fled and a brother-in-law of Sparance, who was in measure responsible for the trou- ble, has also fled. The men have been traced to Shelton, and it Is believed that they are concealed in an Italian quarters on the banks of the river. Af- ter the stabbing Brown was carried about five blocks to the office of Dr. Loomis, who rendered all assistance possible. All the parties implicated are young people.

THE ronpEDo BOAT wINs1oW.
Her Condition Much Worse Than at
 First Supposed.

Washington, May 17.-Reports re- ceived here. from Key West show that the condition of the little torpedo boat Winslow is much worse than was sup posed and it will be probably necessary to have her sent to Norfolk for repairs. One shot smashed her lower Starboard cylinder and another reversed one of her boilers. It would be possible to get along under one boiler and reduce the starboard engine from quadruple to a triple expansion, but the efficiency of the boat would be very much lowered thereby.
 Following the news of the terrific as- sault on the Winslow and her disable ment there came through the mails an official report from Commander Me- Gala of an engagement the little boat was in a day or two before she came to grief. It reflects great credit upon the officers and men of the craft and was promptly made public by the navy de- partment. It reads as follows:
 U. S. S. Machias, off Cardenas, May Ii,
 1898.
 The MacnlaS, Wilmington, Hudson and Winslow proceeded in as far as the ob- structions would allow. The Machias took up position about 2,100 yards northeast of Diana Cay. The Wilmington with the Hud- son and Winslow proceeded to enter the inner harbor between Romero and Blanco Gays, where I felt quite certain there were no mines. The vessels found no trouble in entering and were soon steaming into Car denas bay. I opened fire on Diana Cay sig nal std.lon and sent the launch with En- sign Willard in charge to take possession the mines if possible. No mines were found although strict search was made. We de- stroyed the station and all government property which had been abandoned in Il very hurried manner At 1;40 p. m. fire opened from the Hudson and Winslow and was continued until 3 p. m. when the yes- sells returned to the outer anchorage.

ADMIRAL CERV BRAS ADDRESS.
Spanish Commanders Words to Hi.
Crews on Sailing.

Madrid, May 17.-At the moment of his departure from the Cape Verde islands, Admiral Cervera, in command of the Spanish squadron in West In- dian waters, issued the following ad- dress to the crews of his ships:
 After three years of struggle in Cuba, we are nearing the end of the trouble which certainly would have ended three months ago but for America's aid. Spain did not wish for war. Her conduct proves this by conceding everything a self-respecting na- tion could concede. But the Americans, whose ambition is unsuitable, always asked for something more and even what be- longed to us-that land discovered by Spaniards led by Columbus
 Forward then to the war, since we are forced thereto by the Americans blind am bition. But let us enter the combat as did the Spaniards of old, strong in their rights and trustful in God, who will never aban- don a just cause and who will aid our eff forts. l need not enjoin discipline upon you; for during the past six months you have been under my command I have only had cause for congratulations. Nor need call on you to do your duty conscfentiously, es- pecially during the watches, which will of ten be most trying. Still less need I urge you to display courage. You are Spaniards, and that is sufficient in war. Then when lead you to battle, have confidence in your chiefs and the nations whose eve is upon you, will see that Spain to-day is the Spain of all time. Viva Espania, Viva Fl Key, Viva Elrina Egento.

WORK OF CONGRESS.
Progress In Consideration of War Reve-
 nue Measure is Made.

Washington, May 17-Considerable progress was made by the senate to- day in considering the war revenue measure. MT. Jones of Arkansas pre- sented the views of the democratic members of the finance committee. He maintained that the taxes imposed by the bill ought to be levied upon prop erty and not consumption; that the policy of the republican party always had been to impose taxes upon con- sumption, while that of the democratic party was to impose it upon property. He believed that taxation that would raise $150, 900 would be amply suf1i- cient to be carried by this bill, and he added that if the exigencies of the war should demonstrate that more money was needed, congress could provide it later. He proposed the proposition to issue bonds and certificates of indebt- edness far in excess of the requirements of the war, and held that the expenses should be paid by the government as the war progressed.

REPORT OF 4 FIGHT.
A Great Sensation Caused at Port au
 Prince, Hayti.


 Prince, Hayti. tCopyright, 1898, by the Associated Press. Port Au Prince, May 17.-A great sen- sation was caused here by the arrival to-day of the military commandant of the Isle of Tortuga, off the northwest coast of Hayti and due north of Port De Paix, near the entrance to the wind ward passage, who brought word to the Haytien war department of what is believed to have been a naval en- gagement on Sunday.
 The commandant reached Port De Paix from the Isle of Tortuga by way of the canal He reported to the war office that throughout the whole of Sunday very persistent cannonading had been heard east of the island, and that from its duration and intensity there was Q strong presumption that a very serious action was in progress. A thick fog at the time made it impossible to distinguish any vessel that might be engaged.

CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH.
Marquis of Salisbury in the House of
 Lords Refuses to Discuss It.


 London, May 17.-In the house of lords to-day the liberal leader, the Earl of Kimberly, in questioning the govern ment as to it's intention in regard to Wei-Hai- i-Wei referred to the recent speech of Joseph Chamberlain saying the alliance mentioned by the latter could only have been an alliance for de- fense against Russia and asked if the matter was so far advanced "that we may soon hear of great alliance with a European power"
 He explained that he could not con- ceive of an alliance with the United States because it would be contrary to the policy the latter has always pur- sued, adding that unless the govern ment had made such approaches in the direction of an alliance that ere long the house may hear of its conclusion, nothing was more likely to prevent it's conclusion than MT. Chamberlain's speech. The marquis of Salisbury, in reply, declined to discuss Mir Chamber lain's speech on the plea that he did not have it in his hands.

AT CAMP HAVEN,
Flag Presented to Light Battery-Hart-
 ford Men in Disgrace,

Camp Haven, State Military Rendez- vous, Mantle, Conn.,, May 17.-Though to-day has been one of tedious formal ity incidental to mastering in the diff ferent companies of the First regiment of infantry into the United States ser- vice, and which is yet uncompleted, there were two incidents which have made their impression throughout the entire camp, and each was as marked as it was unexpected. It was case of contrasts, the light and dark which is always necessary to make the picture complete.
 The first incident, which it is pleas ure to recall, was the presentation of a silk banner by the veterans of the old light artillery, Battery A, Connecti- cut Volunteers, to the three pla- toons of light artillery under com mand of Captain Honce, now quartered here. The flag is inscribed Presented by Connecticut Light Ar tillery-1861-1S9S Sixteen veterans of the battery gathered in front of Cap- tain Honce's tent, where the platoons had assembled and in an appropriate speech Lieutenant Dickinson of Strat- ford turned the flag over the to Cap tain Honce as an expression of the bond of union between the old and new warriors, the boys of '61 and the boys of '9S. Captain Honce, in behalf of the battery, accepted the colors in a fitting speech. At the conclusion there were cheers and cheers mingled with the now familiar Yale cry, after which the veterans, officers and non on-conmission- ed officers marched to the Morton house, in the village proper, and sat down to a delightful banquet, which was followed by more speeches.
 The second incident was the "quit- ting" at the last moment of two mem- bers of company D, Privates Dagner and Hackney, who paraded with the company and took the oath of ale gience, but when it came to signing the muster roll weakened and they were at once taken to the guard house Colonel Burdett will act on their cases tomorrow, and it is probable that they will be drummed out of camp.

GLADSTONE SINKING RAPIDLY
PEACEFULLY SLEEPING AWAYI INTO
 LAND OF SHADES.
The Physicians Believe That the Patient VIII Never Speak Again-A Solemn Quiet Prevails in the Castle-Members of the Gladstone Family Keep Vigil Beside the Bedside of the Dying States man,

Nldns
 London, May 1s-According to a spe- cial dispatch from Hawarden received this morning MT. Gladstone is sinking rapidly. The correspondent says: VtTc lies on small iron bed, peacefuyw sleeping away into the land If shadeS His death chamber faces south over- looking the south Terrace. The family and others are all sitting around him. It is pathetic scene that is being en- acted this gloomy night
 Dr. Doble doubts that his patient was conscious at any time on T Tuesday, though he said "yes'' and mo" Never theless he suffered no pain whatever, but just lay with his head facing the light, his eyes closed, his hands soine- times outside the counterpane and sometime hidden beneath. His face bears its old familiar look. He looks too, in wonderfully good color. For some hours no additional Information
 became public, but there were indica-
 tions that a crisis had been reached. The little village postoffie, from which
 the telegraph wires run, was suddenly manned by staff to work the special
 instruments which had been silent since they were fitted up last Saturday
 in readiness for the emergency.
 The moment you enter the castle you
 seem to acutely feel the presence Of
 death in the hush and solemn quiet
 of the family, MT. Gladstone is con-
 stantly being attended by pr. Bliss and the two nurses who have been with him since his return to Hawarden.
 Dr. Habershon arrived at 2 o'clock this morning. The rain has continued to fall at intervals throughout the night. Villagers have been coming singly and in groups of two or three,, entering the castle gates to glance si- lently at the rafn-b beaten scrap of paper which is the latest bulletin and. then silently returning to the gate, not a hundred yards away and disappear- ing into the darkness only to return later. At this hour many are collected toi gaze at the lights of the palace. Dr.. Habershon has just retired. His phy-.. sicians think that MT. Gladstone will
 never speak again. At this hour h6s is in deep sleep while the members ofE the family are keeping up the final vigil beside the dying statesman.
