The result OF the election in
Oregon the 9Th instant showing an
overwhelming victory for the Republi-
cans upon a straight issue Of the gold
standard is an intimation that free
silver will not play an important part
in politics this fall The war has
raised important questions that are
destined to demand attention, and
parties will be aligned upon them
One Of these, the policy of annexa-
ton, overshadows all others, and de-
mands the careful consideration OF
statesmen.

Speaking of big ships, the Pennsyl-
vannia which recently landed a cargo
in Philadelphia is one of the great
ocean freighters. An inspection OF
her cargo will give one some idea of
the great capacity of big ships. The
freight Of this ships cargo weighed
l3. 200 tons. Besides this immense
freight She brought 1000 passengers.
To transport this amount OF freight
on land would require the use of 600
railway cars and 80 engines. Eighteen
additional coaches would be needed to
carry the passengers.

Denies His Guilt.

Montreal, June 5.-Lieutenant Car
rama admitted tonight that he was
the author of the letter made public
yesterday by Chief Wilkie of the secret
service and that it was the one stolen
a week ago yesterday from his resi-
dence on Tupper street. ut is a trans
lation,'' he said, "of the letter I wrote
to my cousin, but it is not as I wrote
it. Words have been changed and even
whole sentences, yes, even paragraphs,
inserted to make 1t suit the ends OF the
United States government"
''What paragraphs?" he was asked.
For instance, that ridiculous para
graph about the spy system That is
nonsense am not the head of the spy
system and I do not know and never
knew more about the two men captured
than you did yourself from reading the
newspapers. Then, again, I have had
no communication with General Blanco
or Don Pasquale. There has been no
necessity for my communicating with
them. 1t was simply a friendly letter
to my cousin. Take this out, the refer
ence to spies and the statement Of my
communicating with Blanco and Don
Pasquale, and what have you left? Alb
solutely nothing that you yourself did
not know. DO you not think that the
Canadian government will require bet
ter proof before compelling me to leave
the country?"

a MANILA HERO DEAD.
Captain Charles v. Grid1ey of the
Cruiser OLYMPIA.

Washington, June 5.-Captain Charles
v. Gridley, commander Of the cruiser
Olympia and one Of the heroes Of the
brilliant victory at Manila, is dead.
The announcement Of his death was
received by the navy department late
this afternoon in a cablegram from
paymaster Gait Of the navy, dated at
Kobe, Japan, June 4, and directed to
Secretary Long. The dispatch contain
ed this simple announcement: ''Cap-
tain Gridley died to-day. Remains ac-
company me on Ceptic.'
Captain Charles Vernon GrfdIey is
the first American officer of great
prominence whose death is a direct re-
suit of the existing war with Spain.
AS the commander Of Admiral Dewey 8
flagship and one Of the adn1iral's chief
advisers, Captain Gridley achieved dis
tinction at the battle Of Manila bay
and added to his previous laurels by
winning high praise from his super1ors
in the service He fought his ship
from the coming tower, while Admiral
Dewey directed the movements of his
squadron from the deck Of the vessel.
1t was not known for some time after
the battle that Captain Gridley had
suffered therefrom and even now the
precise nature Of his trouble is not dis
closed.
|, Upon the arrival of the Seafiro at
Hong Kong on the Goth Of May the
navy department was notified that
Captain Gridley had been condemned
by a board of medical survey and "in-
valided" home. Subsequent advices re-
ceived by the department indicated
that Captain Gridley was suffering
from the effects of a rupture supposed
to have been received during the bat
tie at Manila, but no details were
given. 1t was not supposed that his
illness was very serious, as the de-
partnent was informed that the cap
tain, in company with Paymaster Gait,
would leave for home as soon as pos
sible.
On May 28 they left Hong Kong on
the steamer Ceptic, one Of the vessels
of the Occidental Steamship line. It
would appear that Captain Gridley
died about the time the ship reached
Kobe.

CASE LInU~. cARRANz4.


Washington,J June 5.-Steps have been
Lieutenant Carranza, who has con-
Quoted the Spanish spy system from
Montreal, with his assistant, Senior Du-
Bose, former first secretary of the
Spanish legation here will be expelled
from Canada within the next few days
unless they adopt their own means to
leave before an international question
is raised as to their presence in Cana
da. The Carranza letter, detailing his
spy system, was communicated to the
British ambassador, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, together with all other informa-
tion bearing on the operations of the
Spanish officials in Canada. The am
'bassador was quick to act in the mat
ter, and without waiting the slow pro-
cesses of the mail, he cabled the entire
matter to the foreign Office. No doubt
is entertained as to the speedy action
of the authorities at London now that
a specific case has been made out
against the Spanish officials in Canada.
They would have taken the initiative
ere this had there been any suspicion
as to the plans of Carranza. But the
Carranza letter was proof positive and
the British officials moved quickly, and
on their own volition toward securing
adequate redress. The state depart
ment has not cabled Ambassador Hay,
not deeming it necessary to do more
than simply lay the facts before the
British ambassador here. 1t is expect
ed that Lord Salisbury will call the at
tention of the Spanish government to
the undesirability of having Messrs.
Carranza and DuBusc remain in Cana
da as their operations are SO obviously
hostile to the United States. This,
however, may become unnecessary, if
the Spanish officials withdraw from
Canada at once as there appears to be
no disposition to prosecute them, or to
give them an enforced expulsion so
long as they are willing to close their
operations and depart. The British
statutes as we'll as those of Canada
have specific provision against the use
of British or Canadian territory for
foreigners temporarily seeking asylum
there, as the base of hostile operations
against the countries with which Great
Britain and her colonies are at peace.

bandage around 1t, he ordered his boat
still further in. Then came the four
teen-pound shell that crashed through
the boilers and disabled the Winslow,
and a few moments later Ensign Bag
ley and four of the men We're stretched
dead on the deck. Grubb was among
those aboard at the time and, with the
others, was rescued by the Hudson.
Lieutenant Bernadou spent several
days at the hospital, but he is now en-
tirely recovered. In place of poor Bag
ley, J. L. Lattimer is the Winslow's en-
sign. Grubb is the second man to come
to New York, Hearn, a fireman, having
been sent on a furlough from the scene
of action after the terrible ordeal
through which he had passed with the
others.
A victim of the Porto Rico lombard
ment was also brought here on the Sol
ace--George Merkle, a slender, pale
faced marine. He was on the Iowa at
San Juan and he came out of the en-
gagement lacking one arm. Those who
have been through the thick of the shot
and shell and have emerged unscathed
may tell of marvellous escapes and
thrilling encounters, but Merkle tells
another story. The order to cease fir
ing had been given; the great guns on
the Iowa were silenced; men came from
the turrets to draw a fresh breath of
life; some went below as a. routine
course. The monitor Terror, lying in
close and failing to see the signals,
continued to pour in iron messengers.
Men gathered on the gun decks to
watch the progress of the fight. Merkle
came up from below and was In the act
of putting on his coat when shell
plunged through the air and exploded
directly above him. One piece struck
Merkle on the right elbow, tearing out

brought here by the big ambulance is

THE SPANISH s.TERROR,,
Torpedo Boat Destroyer Reported Sunk
by Americans.

Torpedo Boat Destroyer Reported Sunk
by Americans.
copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press. ]
Kingston, Jamaica, June 81 p. n.-
A dispatch from Port Antonio says:
"A vessel that has arrived here from
Santiago de Cuba reports that the
Americans sank on Friday night the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Ter
ror.''
The assumption, based upon dis
patches from Madrid, has been that
the destroyer Terror, after leaving
Fort De France, went to Porto Rican
waters, and it is probable that the Port
Antonio dispatch confuses her with her
sister destroyer, the Furor, as has sew
eral times been the case in these dis
patches from other points.
