CHICAGO, May II Zen route with
Company B, Fourteenth RegimenD.-
All Company B boys present or unac-
counted for'' are feeling well and are
in high spirits. First Sergeant Wethern
captured the following note from a
young lady at Downing, Wis:
Goodbye and God bless you ALL"
At nearly every station along the
line we were met by the people with
flags, brass bands and flowers, and at
many Of the towns huge bonfires had
been lighted and were blazing as the
train passed through. In return for
these demonstrations buttons, in large
quantities, were demanded, and, if
this same demand lasts through the
entire journey, some. of the more lib
eral boys will be compelled to resort to
pins and string to keep their clothes
together
At Chippewa Falls there was a huge
demonstration, and in the crowd were
any number Of pretty girls, and the
decrease in the supply of buttons was
most noticeable as the train pulled
away from the station. The boys were
also given supper at that place, con-
sisting of canned corn beef, hardtack
and coffee.
Corporal Colwe1l is. as noisy as ever,
and is the life Of the company
The new government shoes that have
been furnished are giving all kinds Of
trouble, and a number of the boys
have dispensed with them whenever
possible and passed through most Of
the trip minus shoes.
The train reached the Chicago stock
yards at $50 o'clock, and was welcom-
ed by the gladstone song of the great
| American hog, which seem to abound
there in large numbers. The troops
| disembarked amid a large crowd, and
few minutes later were put through
short drill without arms, for exer-
cise The colds contracted at the hotel
at Camp Ramsey are still very fashion
able and are causing. some Of the boys
quite little trouble.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Naval in
terest today centered in possible bat
tie in the West Indies, but the develop
ments, actual and rumored, were along
other, though closely related lines. It
may safely be set down that no battle
has been fought; and that no one in
Washington knows just when or where
1t Is likely to take place With almost
equal certainty it may be said that the
department. is using all possible means
to draw the lines closer about the Span
ish fleet and to strengthen the net that
enmeshes Admiral Cervera.
OREGON IS SAFE.
Secretary Longs announcement to-
day that the Oregon is safe, and that
with her safety assured the depart
ment is in position to push a plan of
campaign that was held in allegiance
while she was in possible peril, while
vague in it's terms, is regarded as sig
nificant. The generally accepted inter-
probation Of Secretary Longs state
ment is that Capt. Clark, with the Ore
gon, Marietta and Buffalo, has joined
Sampson and added to the preponder-
ance Of his squadron over that of Ger
vera
There is no official warrant for this
view, but it Is so generally accepted
that all Washington is making 1t a
basis for the calculation of probable
ic
why it should not be true. If the Ore
gon left Bahia on the 10th inst, as re-
ported, she might easily be up to the
vicinity OF the Windward passage,
where it is believed Sampson is by this
time.
Schley's squadron Is unofficially re-
ported at Key West. 1t Is undoubtedly
somewhere in that vicinity 1t has
been reported as passing Miami on the
Florida coast, and, If not actually at
Key West, is probably in the straits
carrying out orders sent to SchIey from
Washington.

LONDON, May 19.-William Ewart
Gladstone died at o'clock this morning
at Hawarden.
Mr.. Gladstone had been unconsc,ous
practically all day. although at times
he seemed to regain consciousness for
moment to watchers about him. He
recognized his wife, who was beside
him all day, except when the physician
prevailed upon her to rest.
Apparently he slept good deal; oc-
casionally he uttered a few words In
an incoherent, dreamy way, words
which those who were watching were
unable to catch. Their only consola-
tion was that he was not suffering
pain. No narcotics were administered.
Though national funeral will prob
ably be accepted by the family, thera
Is little doubt that the remains of Mr..
Gladstone will be laid to rest In the
peaceful grave yard at Hawarden ad-
Joining the church where he was mar
ried more than half a century ago.
ENGLAND MOURNs.
Every other topic in Great Britain
yesterday dropped out of sight before
the passing Of Mr.. Gladstone. Ha-
warden focused the attention, which
from the highest to the man in the
street, was respectful sincere and pro-
foundly moved. In two places, per-
haps, was the tension most keen and
most heartfelt-the house of commons
and Hawarden.
Just before the house rose yesterday
telegram from Herbert Gladstone
reached Lord Stanley announcing that
his father was sinking 1t was felt
at st. Stephens that his dying was but
the sequel to that great scene wit
messed four years ago, when his last
speech was spoken, he quilted the
house without one word of spoken
adieu.
Anticipating the inevitable, the mem
bers Of the government discussed the
appropriate procedure to be observed
and resolved that no effort on their
part should be wanting to mark a su t.
able sense Of their loss.
NATIONAL FUNERAL.
Disregarding recent precedents, Z
was decided that the programme In
parliament should be the same as that
adopted in the case Of the Earl Of
Chatham, namely, an address to her
majesty, praying for a funeral at the
public charge and a monument In
Westminster Abbey.
Throughout the whole kingdom ev-
cry public gathering added its words
Of deep grief to the volume of national
mourning clearly versed In the tele-
gram from the Prince of Wales to
Henry Gladstone:
My thoughts with you your mother
and your family, at this trying time you are
experiencing. God grant that our father
does not suffer. Albert Edward
At the banquet of the Home Coun-
ties Liberal federation, Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, Liberal leader in the
house Of commons, instead of deliver
ing an important party attack, only

after passing over Savannah.
Another cyclone formed at Amboy,
Ill, shortly before dark this evening.
The storm cloud formed about six
miles south Of Amboy and took an
easterly course. It travelled about
twenty miles without changing it's
course, and destroyed everything in its
path. Orchards, farm houses and barns
were wrecked, but no lives are known
to have been lost.
Owing to the peculiar atmospheric
conditions prevailing all afternoon, the

just what happened. At the first alarm
they took to the cellars, and many Of
them were imprisoned for hours
