GLADSTONE SINKING RAPIDLY.
Death of the Veteran English Statesman
May Occur Any Moment.

London, May 1S.-Mr. Henry Glad
stone took a special train from this
city to Hawarden on account Of dis
quieting news regarding his fathers
condition. He said before he left Lon
don that he feared his father was sink
ing rapidly. An official bulletin just is
sued says:
"Mr. Gladstone has taken serious
turn for the worse. His death may be
expected in twenty-four hours"
Mr. Gladstone's physician said: THE
end Is now near. Mr.. Gladstone has
taken little nourishment He breathes
heavily for a few minutes and then
his breathing is hardly perceptible. Mrs.
Gladstone is with her dying husband.
She and other members of the family
do not leave the room for more than
a few minutes at a time"
A bulletin issued at $40 p. m. said:
There has been a serious failure OF
Mr.. Gladstone's strength during the
last six hours. His pulse Is with diff
Guilty perceptible at the wrists ana the
extremities are cold"
When offered medicine at 4:S0 p. m.
Mr.. Gladstone exclaimed: NO, no..

Naval Authorities Say She Can Leave st.

New York, May 1S.-There are assur-
ances that the war board has found a
way to get the Harvard out of ST.
Pierre harbor without risk of destru9-
tion by the Spanish torpedo boat de-
stroyer Terror. 1t involves the use Of
the Yale and the Montgomery to watch
the port at the three mile limit, to wait
until the Harvard appears and then to
be prepared, in case the Terror follows.

ers come along, to fall upon them with
their heavy and light rapid-fring guns

On the other hand, there are naval
officers who laugh at the fuss that has
asen made over the situation at St
Pierre and declare that there is nothing
to prevent the Harvard from leaving it
she desires to do so, and nothing but
the assumption that the torpedo boat
destroyer is a formidable vessel to lead
TO the opinios that ii could destroy the
Harvard without difficulty. When Cap
tain Cotton has completed the repairs,
said to be needed by the Harvard, the
nature of which has not been COM
municated to the department, he can
leave, and It is believed that France
will stick closely to the custom under
neutrality laws to prevent the Terror

TECUMsEH NOT BLOWN UP.
spaniards Tried to Hit Her, but CouIdn't
Do IL.

Key West. Fla. May 49, via Jackson
vile, Fla.-Reports to the effect that
L!euteuar. Evans, commanding the Te-
cumseh, had been captured or blown up
were false. The tug was on her sta
tion off Havana for eleven days and her
long absence gave rise to the rumors.
The Santa Clara battery fired at the
Tecumseh three times. once at dis
tance of four miles and twice at range
of between five and six miles. One shell
struck the water twenty-five yards
to one side and the third went whist
ling right over the tug.
The criticism that the Tecumseh was
foolhardy in getting so close to shore
is vigorously resented. The tug was
there to make observations of what was
going on around the batteries and had
to get comparatively close in for that
purpose. Lieutenant Evans is the last
man who would unnecessarily expose
his ship to destruction or any of his
men to death. He was acting strictly in
the line of duty when he was fired

SUSPECT WIDOW AND son.
Investigation of the Death of j. :. Collins
at Topeka i'm Progress.

Topeka, Kan, May 1S-The mystery
surrounding the murder of j. S. Collins
at his home at o'clock in the morning
is gradually being cleared UP. Suspi-
cion rests upon members Of the family,
and both John Collins, the son, and
Mrs. Collins will be held pending a
fuller investigation. The murdered man
was followed TO the cemetery by the
greatest concourse of people known in
the history of Topeka. The investiga-
ton by a dozen detectives during the
last three days proves conclusively, the
officers say that Collins was not mur-
dered ~ burglar and that he had no
enemies who would go into his home
and murder him.
On Friday evening Collins and his
wife were away from home, attending
a Masonic gathering. Young John Col
Inns and his sister Grace were left at
home. When the parents returned, the
children had retired. When the shots
were fired from the shotgun which
killed Collins, Mrs. Collins said, she was
also hit by the scattering shot from
the gun. and that she called to her son
and daughter, who were asleep in their
rooms above. Investigations show that
Mrs. Collins was not shot at ALL The
revolver which Mr.. Collins always kept
under his pillow was found in a closet.
The theory is that IL young Collins
murdered his father he removed the re-
volver from underneath the pillow while
his parents were out to be sure the ia
ther would not kill him in self-defense.
Detectives visited Lawrence. where
young Collins had been attending the
university. They discovered that he
lived beyond the s25 monthly allowance
provided by his father. and that he had
borrowed money here and at Lawrence
without the knowledge Of his parents.
He often complained because his father.
who was well-to-do. had not given him
more money. 1t is related that young
Collins seemed not at all grieved over
the death of his father. officers say
they have circumstantial evidence
which may lead to the conviction of
both widow and son.

TROOPS FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
General Merritt Will Have a Delicate
Duty to Perform.

~
Duty to Perform.
Washington, May 1S.-Colonel II. p.
Hughes, inspector general, with head
quarters at New York city, was at the
war department on a mission from
General Merritt in connection with the
assignment of regular troops to accom-
pany the Philippine expedition soon to
start from San Francisco. General
Merritt's preference for a larger num-
ber Of regulars than 1t was proposed by
the president to give him has been
known here for some time and his views
on that subject are shared by many of
the army officials. They realize that
General Merritt will have delicate and
important duty to perform as military
governor of the Philippines and they
agree in expressing the opinion that
the general should have an adequate
and we'll disciplined force at his COM
mand to maintain order in city that
will be filled with discordant elements.
There are not enough regulars in the
west to furnish the number that Gen.
eral Merritt thinks should be sent on
the expedition and consequently Sec
retary Alger and the department offi-
cials have been considering the advisa-
bility of withdrawing about three OF
the infantry regiments from Tampa,
where a large number are now rendez-
voused and Of dispatching them post
haste to the Pacific coast.
These men are well seasoned and
thoroughly disciplined and are just the
kind General Merritt believes should
be sent on the trans-Pacific trip. Cap

Supposed To BE the Torpedo Boat Recent
ly Seen OF Nova Scotia.
Halifax, N. s., May 1S.-Captain Har-
rison Furness of the liner ST. John City
has arrived in port from st. John, and
reports having sighted off seal island,
near the mouth of the Bay of Fundy,
a curious-looking, low-lying craft, which
was steaming at rapid pace. Clouds
of smoke were pouring from her fun
mel. Officers on deck turned glasses on
the strange e-looking vessel, and made
her out to be a torpedo-boa painted
black, with yellow funnel. The first Of
ficer. Gelding, who is familiar with
various types of torpedo-boats, said
that the craft passed was undoubtedly
a Spanish torpedo-boat of powerful
style.
She showed no colors, and headed in
the direction of the st. John City, but
changed her course, presumably maxi
ing out the British flag. After passing
Seal island the torpedo-boat steered
away in a westerly direction, running
like a race horse. She was of the new
er British type of torpedo-boat. The
craft was undoubtedly one of the Span
ish ships reported several times within
the last week off the Nova Scotia coast.
She could not have been a British boat,
as the only British torpedo boats on this
side of the Atlantic have not been out
of port this season.

Galveston, Tex. May 1S.-The Nor

Schlytter, which arrived from Progreso,
in quarantine reports having heard
heavy cannonading 100 miles off Gal
weston, in the Gulf Of Mexico, while en-
route to this port. 1t lasted five to ten
minutes, but the Transit did not tarry
TO investigate. The presumption is that
the cannonading was a patrol boat in
practice. Alarmists think it was by
scouting vessels of the Spanish Cape
Verde fleet, last reported at Curacao.

THE TRICK FAILED.
Scheme of the spaniards at Havana Which
Came to Naught


Key West, Fla, May 1S.-The United
States cruiser Wilmington, Command
er c. c. Todd when about thirty miles
east of Havana, fired four shells into
q Spanish trap in the shape of dere-
lict, sinking it and thus doing away
with another piece of Spanish rrickery.
The commander of the Wilmington had
been warned by dispatch boats that
some dangerous wreckage was drifting
about the spot mentioned and the
cruiser steamed in that direction to in
vestigate the reports. An old Spanish
schooner, with her deck loaded to the
rails with rusty iron, car wheels, ETC.,
closely packed together, was found
floating in the track of torpedo boats,
and dispatch boats. The iron-laden
schooner had evidently been sent out
of Havana harbor in the hope that a
torpedo boat or small craft of the
blockading force would crash into 1t and
be so damaged as to cause her to sink.
AS wires were noticed around the iron
rails on the schooner, Commander
Todd believed the Spanish trap might
also contain explosives, and therefore,
laying off considerable distance from
her. his guns promptly sent her to the
bottom.
Another commission from General
Gomez, the insurgent commander-in-
chief, has arrived at Key West. Mr..
John f. iowa, the former United States
vice consul at Sagua la Grande, who
was landed by an American gunboat
on the coast of Cuba about ten days
ago, was picked up after an exciting
experience with a Spanish gunboat,
which the American gunboat chased
into her harbor. Mr.. Jova succeeded
In reaching the camp of General Go
mez and has brought back dispatches
from the latter to Commodore Watson.
He reports that General Gomez and the
several thousand troops with him are
in the bes1 OF spirits and hopeful Of
speedy ending of the present situation.
Mr.. iowa also reports that Spanish
troops are moving westward, keeping
in the cities. He made part of the jour-
ney along the coast in a small boat and
was being chased by Spanish gunboat
when the American gunboat hove in
sight. The Spaniard, though several
miles off, fired a number of shots at the
American vessel The latter proceeded
TO pick up Mr. iowa and two compan-
ions of the former consul and then
chased the Spanish gunboat, which
promptly scudded for safety into port.
