Remarkable Career.

Hawarden, May 19.--William Ewart Glad
stone died this Thursday morning at i've
o'clock.
Mr.. Gladstone had been unconscious prac-
ticaliy all day. though at times he seemed
90 recognize for moment some OF the
watchers about him. Certainly he did rec
ognize his wife, who was beside him all day
except when the physician prevailed upon
her TO rest. She tenderly clasped her nus
bands hand as she watched him. Appar-
entity he slept good deal; occasionally 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 Mr.. Glad
stone will be laid TO rest In the peaceful
graveyard OF Hawarden adjoining the
church where he was married more than
half century ago.

Finally. after about 70 minutes the Hud-

Ensign Bagley and six men were standing
In group on the deck OF the Wlnslow.
'Heave herl Heave herr! shouted Bag

The line was thrown and about the same

When the shell burst in the group on

NEWS FROM MANILA

Admiral Dewey.

In the Town.

Washington, May 10. = Dispatches
from Hong-Kong brought welcome
news Sunday from Admiral Dewey TO
the president, and particularly to Sec
rotary Long and the naval officials who
are watching the admiral's movements
with so much interest. The kilograms
indicate that Dewey has lost none of the
prestige gained in his memorable fight
of two weeks ago, and that, while he
refrains from taking the city of Ma
Mia, he has II practically at his mercy.
The admiral expresses the belief that
the rebels are hemming in the city by
land, but the fact that he says explicitly
that they have made no demons tration
seems to disprove thoroughly the pub
lished reports that they had already
entered Manila and had begun a career
of bloodshed and rapine. The best evil
dence of the effectiveness of the block
AIDE maintained by the American adj
miral and also Of the work Of the in
surgents in surrounding the city is
shown in the statements in the dis
patches that provisions are scarce in
the city of Manila, which, seems TO indi-

render by the Spanish authorities. The
dispatch, as given out by Secretary
Long, is as follows:
