ADMISSION BY SECRETARY LONG.
Departmcut Officials Are ChaErined -
Csrv~rs's Success In Reaching
Cuban Coast.

According to advices from Madrid
Captain Aunon, minister OF marine,
has received dispatch from Admiral
Cervera, in command Of the Cape
Verde squadron Of the Spanish feet.
II read:
Santiago de Cuba, May i9.-This morn
ing / have without incident entered this
port accompanied by the squadron.
"CERvHRA."
The minister Of marine Immediately
went to The residence Of the premier,
Senior Sagasta, and communicated this
information. He then proceeded to
The palace for the purpose OF inform
ing the queen regent, but her majesty
had already retired and the news was
conveyed to her by the Infanta Isabel.
Captain Aunon then went to the sd-
miralty and cabled his congratulations
TO Admiral Cervera on his arrival at
Santiago de Cuba.
Admiral Ceryera mas given the slip
TO two powerful fleets that have been
securing the ocean for a fortnight in
an endeavor TO catch him. All the
American schemes depended thereon.
Admitted By Naval Onicers.
A Washington special says; The
navy department officials were kind
enough to state Friday evening that
information in their possession led
them to believe that the Spanish feet
was at Santiago de Cuba. In view OF
their early disclaimers their strong
unofficial insistence that this was
another Spanish ruse the final admis-
sion is interesting.
At the same time il is announced
that both American fleets are at Key
West, 800 miles away. The feeling
at the navy department over Cervera's
successful move is not that of jubila-
ton.
The naval strstegists had expected
to catch the Spaniard before he sue
ceeded in reaching Cuban port.

Univsrsai Sorrow Expressed On Death oi
Gladstone.
A London cable dispatch says: The
deepest manifestations Of grief are re.
ported throughout the country at the
death OF ex-Premier Gladstone.
Flags are everywhere half-masted,
bells are tolling, shades are drawn
down and in the public galleries of the
city the pictures Of Mr.. Gladstone
have been draped with crepe.
Further details from Hawarden cas-
tie OF the passing away of the great
English statesmen show his end was
the peaceful imaginable. All Of Lon.
don shows the sorrow the day brought.
No man was so universally popular,
and the passing of no life could bring
sadness more acutely to the hearts oi
the populace of England.
The following telegram was sent by
the secretary Of state Thursday: Hay,
Ambassador, London--Through appro-
pirate channels express TO Mr.. Glad
stones family the sympathy and sor-
row Of the American people Mt the
passing away in the ripeness Of years

FORTY LIVES WERE LOST.
STORM IN THE WEST WAS FEAR.
FULLY DISASTROUS.
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION GREAT.


The first reports received OF the
death and disaster caused by the
storm which swept over portions oi
Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin failed tc
give the full account Of havoc worked
When full reports were received they
showed that the storm was one Of the
most destructive on record in that sec
ton.
Forty-two persons are known tc
have lost their lives and twenty. .eigh,
others are reported dead.
The storm in Iowa started near Stan
wood and swept through the north
eastern part OF Cedar county, the
southeastern part Of Jones county and
the northern part Of Jackson county.
The property loss will probably
reach half million dollars. In many
places not building Of any discrip-
tion was left standing. Cattle, horses
and hogs were killed by the hundred.
In numerous instances farmers lost
everything they possessed. The Iowa
storm crossed the Mississippi river in
TO Illinois near Savannah. Consider
able damage was done on the Illinois
side before the storm spent its force.
The second tornado in Illinois
started near Stillman valley and swept
northward wrecking farmhouses and
killing rs IL went. But the greatest
loss OF life was at the point Of origin,
where four were killed. At Lanark
lhe storm ended its career by wrecking
tho county almthouse and killing three
inmates. Three others were fatally
injured. There were over fifty per-
sons in tho building when IL went
down and all Of them were more or
less injured.
In Wisconsin the storm was more
violent than anywhere else, but for
tunately it originated in the lumber
ing district OF the northern counties,
swept along the line of the 500 road
and spent its force in the pineries.
Nine people are known to have been
killed. Vague reports brought in by
train crews from the scene OF the
storm are to the effect that eighteen
bodies OF lumbermen from Q camp
near Heifford Junction are now lying
in the railway station at that place. II
is said. too, that ten lumbermen were
killed near Elmhurst, but this report
also lacks confirmation.
The property damage in Wisconsin,
while quite heavy, will doubtless fall
much below that done in the fertile
farming districts along tho Mississippi
in Iowa and Illinois.
Iowa heads the list with nineteen
fatalities. Fourteen deaths are re-
ported in Illinois. All inmates Of the
county poorhouse, which was destroy
cd. Three other inmates were fatally
injured.
Wisconsin reports nine dead, with
unconfrmed stories bringing the total
in that state up TO thirty-seven.
