NORWEGIAN SHIP CAUGHT.

the Blockade.

She Appeared to BE Trying to Slip Pas,
the blockade.
KEY WEST, May 1.-THE Norwegian
steamer Bratsberg, which has arrived
under the convoy of the Mangrove, is
still q prize of war, pending the de,
cision of the United States on the ques
ton. The affair bears many features OF
resemblance to that of the French
stea mer Lafayette, but like that case, il
will be settled without any international
complications.
About two weeks ago the Bratsberg,
bound from Progreso, Mexico, for Ha.
uana with 800 head of cattle, was
warned off the Cuban coast by the
blockoding feet. She put into this port
and remained a couple of days, when
she sailed, ostensibly for New York to
find a market for her cattle. She was
piloted out of this harbor April 81 and
was not seen again until Monday morn.
ing when the gunboa Newport sighted
her about 20 miles off Havana. Cap.
tain Tilley knew she had once been
warned out, and observing that she was
floating easily and with her cattle pens
empty, he hailed and boarded her.
Captain Thorson stoutly denied that
he was attempting to slip past the
blockade, but he could not satisfactorily
explain the disposition of his cargo and
was sent in under the Mangrove's
escort, in company with the fishing
smack Fernandito, taken by the Vicks:
bug off Havana.
There is a great deal of sorrow here
over the illness Of Chaplain Chadwick,
formerly of the battleship Maine and
now of the cruiser Cincinnati. He is
confined to the marine hospital with an
attack of erysipelas, but his condition is
not at all serious.

WASHINGTON. May lit is hard to
lieved or disappointed by the news that
came to both the navy and state depart
ments to the effect that the Spanish fly.
ing squadron had arrived at Cadiz,
Spain. The safety of the Oregon from
attack is now completely assured, and
the way is clear for military operations
in Cuba without running the risk of
having the occupying army's line Of
communication cut off. On the other
hand, it is believed that no enduring
peace can be secured until the Spanish
navy has been destroyed, and it now ap-
pears that to do this our sailors must
make up their minds to go after the
Spaniards, task very much more diff
cult than that of meeting them near our
own shores.
1t was suggested by some Of the mem
bers of the war board that there was
just a possibility that the Spanish
squadron might make a quick pas
sage into the Pacific through the Suez
canal and attack Dewey at Manila. 1t
is said that, contrary to the common
understanding, the Suez canal is open
to the warships Of belligerent powers,
so that if the Spanish choose to take
this course they would have a long start
of any pursuing fleet from our side of
the Atlantic. 1t is scarcely believed,
however, that the Spanish are willing
to take the great risk Of exposing to our
attack their own home ports by the
withdrawal of 50 considerable o proper
ton of their naval strength as would
be required to overmat1h Dewey.
Nothing was heard from Sampson,
but there is confident expectation that
interesting news will be coming from his
squadron within the next IL hours.
Whether this means an attack on Porto
Rico or not cannot be learned.

OBITUARY.
MRS. DELLA TREADwAY,

Died, October 10th, 1898, aged 10
years 8 months and 10 days. She Joined
the Methodist church in 1894, and has
lived true christian until God sum-
moned her away to the better land.
She leaves husband, little son
and quite o number of friends to mourn
their loss. She shared the fondest af-
fection and sympathies Of loving hus-
band and sisters, who, I know, did all
in their power to soothe the spirit and
relieve the suffering of their dear sis
ter and wife in her sore aftliction.
Husband, father and sisters mourn
not as those who have no hope, for
your loss is her eternal gain.
You followed her to deaths river side,
And wept while she watched for the
coming tide,
And Oh, how you strove with loving
hands,
To keep her back from the unknown
lands.
But the summons came from the far of
shore,
And she went there to dwell forever
more.
In the bloom Of youth, with the
prospect Of a useful life before her she
was callad away. Thus, you see that
death is in our land, and that God is
no respector of persons, but calls the
young as we'll as the old.
Dear Della how we miss thee,
Sorrows pangs can best express;
Thus to see cold death embrace thee,
Fills our hearts with deep distress
Yet we feel amidst our sadness,
That there is one who knows oul
grief,
And we turn to Him with gladness,
Feeling that He will give relief.
Oh, dear one, the grave hath won thee,
And thy form well see no more
Till we too, cross Deaths cold river,
And rest on Canaan g peaceful shore.
May we have the full assurance
AS we leave this earthly shore,
That we are going home to Jesus;
Going home to die no more.
Now dear husband, father and sis.
ters, grieve not too much over the
death of your beloved wife, daughter,
and sister, for we all have to bow in
humble submission to Gods mos
righteous will. o. W. s.
