The name Gladstone" was for many years one of power in all the English speaking world. Not only has the Unit ed Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire land felt the impress of his genius in every part of her government. but Can ada and Australia, the Cape Colony and other self governing dependencies have nodded their institutions largely accord ing to his ideas, while in the United States he has had as many devoted ad- mirers as in his native island. Grand old Man" was his title here as we'll as in English lands. and here it was even more freely accorded than there.
 He was born in Liverpool on Dec. %, 1909. He first entered the British par liament in 1892. and for more than half a century he was almost continuously in public life. He served four terms as prime minister. He retired from public life in 1894 and had since lived quietly at Hawarden, though his opinions on important questions were frequently ex- pressed in the public prints.

 General Graham made thorough in- spection of the camp. paying particular ly close attention to the sanitary ar engagements. Surgeon General Gtrard reported during the day and continued the inspection. He is of opinion that the water supply will be ample for all purposes. While there is considerable sickness among the members of the Sixth Illinois. the general health of the camp is excellent. Seventeen members of the Sixth Illinois are confined to the hospital. The illness in this regiment Is due to the exposure of the men while ea route to the camp. A hospital corps arrived from Fort McHenry. Baltimore, and will instruct the volunteers how to take care of the sick.
 over 5000 men are In camp, and the total will be swelled to about l2O00 within the next 24 hours. It Is expected that the regiments now in camp will be at once organized into brigades, but no arrangements HaNe yet DeSn ilaue TUT the assignment of the several com mands. except that it has been agreed that at least three of the Pennsylvania regiments will form one brigade under command for the present of Colonel Schawl

CUTTING THE CABLE.
The st. Louis and wompatuck Under Fir
 at Santiago.

The St. Louis and wompatuck Under Fire
 at Santiago.
 St. Thomas. Danish West Indies, May 24-The firing at Santiago de Cuba on Wednesday, May IS. was between the Spaniards there and two American ves- sells. Acting under orders from Ad- miral Sampson, the auxiliary cruiser St. Louis and the tug Wompatuck went to Santiago for the purpose of cutting the cable there. The >lble was picked up witt-.n range of the guns of Morro cas- tie, and the Spaniards Ut once opened fire on the Americans.
 Two sand batteries and one mortar battery on the shore at the bottom of the height on which the Morro is situ- ated joined in the firing. to which the Americans responded.
 The aim of the Spanish gunners was atrociously bad. The men who were detailed to cut the cable grappled for 1t from the deck of the St. Louis. They found it with little difficulty and coolly lifted it to the forecastle of the St. Louis. where it was cut. the Spaniards meanwhile doing their best to disable the cruiser.
 The engagement was lively while it lasted. The St. Louis brought her total
 
 while the Wompatuck used her one 3 pounder. With this small armament the Americans finally succeeded in si- fencing all but two or three of the Spanish guns.
 Neither of the American vessels was seriously damaged. A topmast backstay on the St. Louis was shot away, and the pilot house of the Wompatuck was slightly splintered.
 One man on the St. Louis had a finger broken by a flying fragment of shell while handling the cable.
 When the Americans had completed their work at Santiago de Cuba, they proceeded some 20 miles to the east ward. where they entered the bay of Guantanamo. they being under orders to cut the cable there also.
 While they were picking up the cable in the bay the Spanish batteries opened fire. on them. but the guns, being small and poorly handled, were ineffective.
 Two we'll placed shots from the St. Louis secured comparative quiet, and the work of further crippling Blanco's communication with the outside world vas peacefully accomplished. The Americans laugh at the gunnery of the Spanards. They are highly pleased with the success of their task.
