A SPANISH TRICK FAILS.
A Derelict Set AAoat to Wreck Our
Ships Sent to the Bottom.

KEY WEST. May 17.-(Copyrighted,
1898, by the Associated Press. 1.-THE
United States cruiser Wilmington, Com
mander c. G. Todd. when about thirty
miles east of Havana, fired four shells
into a Spanish trap in the shape of a
derelict, sinking it and thus doing
away with another piece of Spanish
trickery.
The commander of the Wilmington
had been warned by dispatch boats that
some dangerous wreckage was drifting
about the spot mentioned and the
cruiser steamed in that direction to
investigate the reports An old Span
ish schooner with her deck loaded to
the rails with rusty iron car wheels,
etc, closely packed together, was found
floating in the track of the torpedo
boats and dispatch boats. The iron
laden schooner had evidently been sent
out of Havana harbor in the hope that
torpedo boat or some craft Of the
blockading force would crush into it
and be so damaged as to cause her to
sink. AS wires were noticed around the
iron rails on the schooner, Commander
Todd believed the Spanish trap might
also contain explosives, and therefore,
laying off a considerable distance from
her, his guns promptly sent her to the
bottom.
Another commissioner from General
Maxine Gomez. the insurgent Com
manderinC Chief, arrived at Key West
to-day. John F. iowa, the former Uni
ted States Vice-Consul at Sagua La
Grande, who was landed by an Ameri
can gunboat on the coast of Cuba about
ten days ago, was picked up yester-
day afternoon after an exciting expert
ence with Spanish gunboat which the
American gunboat chased into her
harbor. Mr.. Jova succeeded in reach
ing the camp of General Gomez, and
has brought dispatches from the latter
to Commodore Watson. He reports that
General Gomez and the several thou
spirits and hope for a speedy ending
of the situation. Mr.. iowa also re
ported that Spanish troops are, moving
westward, keeping in the cities. He
made part of the journey along the
coast in a small boat and was being
chased by Spanish gunboat when the
American gunboat hove in sight. The
Spaniard, though several miles off, fired
number Of shots at the American
vessel. The latter proceeded to pick
up Mr. Jova and two companions of the
former Consul, and then chased the
Spanish gunboat, which promptly
scudded for safety into port.

WILLIAM e. GLADSTONE.
The End of the Great Statesman
Near at Hand.

LONDON, May 18.-According to a
special dispatch from Hawarden re-
ceived this morning Mr.. Gladstone is
sinking rapidly. The correspondent
says:
He lies on a small iron bed, peace
fully sleeping away into the land of
shadows The family are all sitting
around him, or moving noiselessly in
and out. 1t is a pathetic scene that is
being enacted this gloomy night.
Late last evening all the servants Of
the household We're admitted to the
sick room for final farewell They
found Mr. Gladstone lying on his right
side in a deep Sleep as if dead. Each
in turn touched his hand, and left the
room tearfully
MIR. Dobie doubts that his patient
was conscious at any time on Tuesday,
though he said Yes and No; nor
does the physician believe that Mr..
Gladstone recognizes any one. Never
theless, he suffered no, pain whatever,
but just lay with his head facing the
light, his eyes closed, his hands some
times outside the counterpane and
sometimes hidden beneath.
His grand face bears a most peace
full and beautiful look. A few days ago
the deeply bitten wrinkles that so long
marked it were almost gone, but now,
strangely enough, they seem strong
and deep as ever He looks, too, in
wonderfully good color.
"A bulletin at 8 o'clock this morning
afforded the first intimation of the Sc
rious condition of the patient For
some hours no additional information
became public, but there were indica-
tions that a crisis had been reached.
The village Postoffice. from which the
telegraph wires run, was suddenly
manned by a staff to work the special
instruments which had been silenced
since they We're fitted up last Satur-
day in readiness for the emergency.
During the day, wherever one went,
one would hear general expressions of
deep regret among the working people
at Hawarden, Sandycroft, another viii
lage situated at the foot Of the gentle
slope, and at Chester"
3 a. m.-Dr. Herbert Hasbershon ar
rived at o'clock this morning. The
rain has continued to fall at intervals
throughout the night Villagers have
been coming singly and in groups Of
two or three, entering the castle gates
to glance silently at the rain-beaten
scrap of paper which is the latest bulle-
tin, and then as silently returning to
the gate, a hundred yards away and
disappearing into the darkness, only to
return later. At this hour many are
collected to gaze in unbroken silence at
the castle lights.
DR.. Habershon has Just retired, from
which it is inferred that nothing in
the nature of an immediate collapse is
expected. The physicians think Mr..
Gladstone will never speak again At
this hour he is in deep sleep, while the
members of the family are keeping up
the final vigil beside the dying states
man.
HAWARDEN, May 1S, 7:45 a. m.-
bulletin has just been issued stating
that Mr.. Gladstone remained in the
same quiet and slightly improved state
until half-past this morning, when
his strength again diminished and his
pulse became imperceptible 1t was
thought he might soon pass away, but
he has again rallied, and is now sleep
ing peacefully e-

PACIFIC ROLLING MILLS.
The Directors Decide to Terminate
the Business.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.-The
Bulletin this afternoon says The
directors Of the Pacific Coast Rolling
Mills in this city have decided to close
the establishment and terminate the
business. 1t is declared that the cor
poration is perfectly solvent, and that
the closing of its affairs at this time was
decided upon so that every indebted
ness of the company could be paid, it
being argued that the business has been
operated at a loss, and that creditors
would suffer considerably if the mills
were kept in operation. There are
S713, 900 worth Of outstanding bonds,
and these, with the other claims against
the company, will bring the aggregate
Indebtedness of the company up to
nearly $500 000 Most of the bonds of
the company are held in this city
The reason given for the losses re-
ferred to is that the company cannot
compete with the prices of labor and
material now existing in the Eastern
States.
The Pacific Rolling Mills was proba-
bly, second in size to the Union Iron
Works on this coast, and, like the latter
concern, has done much contract work
for the Government, especially in the
