PICKET BOATS OF vIzCAYA.

That some Spaniards are of the opin-
ion that an attack on Havana Will be
made IS believed to be shown by the
abnormal activity displayed on board
the Vizcaya. The Associated Press
correspondent has the best naval au-
thority for the statement that the VIZ
ceya is in a constant state of readiness
for emergencies and that picket boats
are on the alert day and night inside
the harbor and outside the harbor at
night.

DROWNED IN BE NEDICT POND.
Samuel Cranshaw Lost His Lite While
Bathing Yesterday Afternoon.

Another life has been lost at Benedict
pond, the latest victim being Samuel Gran
shaw. employed ss . weaver in one Of the
Olneyville mills. who was drowned shortly
after o'clock yesterday afternoon. while
bathing with a companion named John Mar
chant. IL Is said that both men were under
the influence OF liquor, and there are con-
fiicting reports concerning the death OF Gran
shaw.
Some Of the people who were in the locality
when the men entered the water say that 10
resulted from cramp caught from one Of
the many cold springs for which the pond Is
noted. Others say that the dead man struck
something while diving from raft that lay
near shore, while still others claim that he
simply rolled into the water from the bank,
which is quite steep at that point. and was
unable to help himself, owing 10 his intox-
icated condition. The latter theory seems to
have more support and is strengthened by
the fact that Marchant, who saw his CON-
panion struggling In the water, was no more
able to assist him than was Cranshaw him
self.
Marchant appears to have been sobered by
Cranshaw's disappearance, and he at once
spread the news in the neighborhood and
large crowd gathered at the pond. Among
the first to arrive on the scene were Lieuten-
ant Scott, Sergeant Thoinas.and Officer Little
of the Seventh station. After n long search
the body was discovered by Edward J
Moriarity about $50 o'clock, lying barely
ten feet from the shore, but in place where
there was considerable depth Of water.
Medical Examiner Palmer after viewing
the remains ordered them turned over to an
undertaken. Cranshaw was about 30 years
of age and lived at 8 Steuben street, Mar
chant being his next-door neighbor. Gran
shaw leaves q widow, but no children.
