Cervera May Avoid Conflict.

New York, May ia dispatch TO
The Tribune from Washington says:
So far as is known to those not in
the closest confidence Of the naval au-
thorities, the three American squadrons
now concentrated off Cuba are still
maintaining the blockade of the north
coast and guarding the southern ap-
proaches to. the Yucatan passage at the
eastern end of the island. No encoun-
ter with Admiral Cervera's vessels is
looked for within the next two or three
days; nor is it yet apparent that the
Spanish commander will risk a battle
except under conditions which he can
himself determine.

Hawarden church bell which carried
the sad tidings to every sorrowing
home in this vicinity.
Slowly the details OF the last mo-

ing out of the castle, where the grief
is too profound to be intruded upon.
The family was summoned at 2 o'clock,
owing to the perceptible sinking no.
ticed by the medical watchers. From
that time until Mr.. Gladstone peace
fully passed away no one left the death
chamber The only absentee was lit

complained that her grandfather did
not recognize her. Even in that hour
of agony, kindly thoughts for others
were not wanting. The old coachman,
who had been unable to be present
when the servants bid farewell to the
dying man, was summoned, and re-
NAMED to the end with his master.

A Glut of Gold.

From New York World, DEM
The gold situation continues to be phe-
nomenal and its figures are interesting to
others than fnanciers.
Since the first of January our imports of
merchandise at New York have been only
$161, 1873, 900. against S197, O10,912 for the
same period of last year. The consequence
is that continuous stream of gold has been
flowing into the country at time when we
usually export that metal. and even the
outbreak of active war does not stop 1t, en-
gagements for this week amounting already
to more than So. 100000
In January and February the proportion
of gold paid for custom duties was less
than per cent. In March 1t rose to Is Z
per cent, and for the first 20 days of April
to 42.4 per cent. while New York returns
for the whole Of April show that more than
two thirds of all the customs receipts were
In gold.
In addition the country produces more
than 100000 of new gold every year,
and in the absence of gold exports every
dollar of this, except what is used In the
arts, flows into the treasury through the
assay Office.
The result is that the treasury has glut
of gold and scarcity Of paper currency.
Orders are In force that for all claims
against the treasury, including clearing
house balances, the sub-treasuries shall pay
out gold so far as 1t is possible.
1t is an unusual, an embarrassing, but
not by any means discouraging situation.

Washington, May 19.-Although moth
ing official is given out at the navy de-

the reported bombardment of Santiago
de Cuba is probably true. A large num-
Der of american vessels are there and
one of the special missions to which
they have been assigned is the cutting
Of the cable from that port.
There are three cables at Santiago de
Cuba, two running to Jamaica and one
to Hayti. They are British property,
but they either have been cut or will
be cut to prevent General Blanco from
communicating with Madrid or any 9TH
err outside point. Anxiety is at high
pitch here on account Of the reports
received from various points in the
vicinity of Jamaica and eastern Cuba.
The outlook of naval battle within
