FROM CADIz TO MANILA.

A Gibraltar dispatch says the fleet
at Cadiz is ready to sail for the Phil
ippine islands and that an expedition
for them will leave about the last of
the month If Admiral Simpsons fleet
can engage the Spanish fleet and cap
ture or annihilate it, that will solve
me Cuban question, for then there VIII
be no necessity to keep fleet to con-
voy troops for Cuba; they could be
sent in unconvoyed vessels. Our fleet
in Cuban waters released, it could soon
refit and proceed to the Philippines and
destroy the Spanish feet, providing
Rear Admiral Dewey had not done it
before Sampson arrived.
Spain surely realizes that Cuba IS
gone, although she will make a stout
resistance there, and her hope now is
to dislodge Dewey and regain posses
sion of the Philippines, so that when
the time for making a treaty of peace
comes she will not be dispossessed of
her colonies in two hemispheres. Long
before the Spanish fleet can reach Ma
Mia Rear Admiral Dewey will have
been Joined by the Charleston and been
re-supplied with ammunition. In the
event of the arrival OF a Spanish fleet
superior to his own, Dewey would I'M
doubtedly man the Spanish forts with
American marines, and with them and
his ships his defense would be of an
entirely different character from that
made by Montejo; no Spanish admiral
would sneak into Manila undiscovered.
With $1,000 or 10000 American troops
at Manila when the Spaniards ar
rived the task of holding the place
would be made much easier, while if it
were known that American men-of-war
were on their way. the moral effect
would be tremendous in buoying up
the Americans and depressing the
Spaniards correspondingly.
1t now seems probable that with the
Spanish fleet in Cuban or West Indian
waters captured or sunk, the scene of
naval operations will be transferred to
the orient, unless Spain should in the
meantime sue for peace.

WILLIAM EwART GLADSTONE.

Even as the oaks of Hawarden fell
beneath the masters ak, so fell he.
The incarnation of intellectual force
and physical energy he seemed a
grizzly giant in the forest of human
ity, stronger than the gales that beat
about his head, above the timber fires
of hate that cracked at his feet;
gnarled, perhaps, for he was rugged,
brusque, and sometimes inconsistent,
but towering in the majesty of his per-
sOnal might and worth.
William Ewart Gladstone was a great
man among the greatest. He was a
scholar, an author, diplomat, an ora
tor, and a statesman. His brain was
massive, his heart sincere, his private
life pure, and his public career of in
calculable service to his country and
the world. He fought for his convic-
tons as lioness fights for her young,
but ehal ii policy whenever he found
it mistaken. After opposing home rule
for Ireland ne finally became convinced
of its justice and espoused the Irish
cause. He never hesitated to correct an
error or retrace his steps when he
found ne was travelling a wrong road.
These were the inconsistencies his OPP
ponents have pointed out. But who
can serve the public fifty years, follow
the changing course Of time and Gus
tom, heed the demands of progress and
meet the exigencies of development,
without deviating from the air line of

and acumen of a student

moth store of information ever at his
immediate disposal. he never met his
match in a discussion. For a half cen
fury he moved the councils of Great
Britain and influenced the destinies of
Europe.
He was a master of the classics,
scientific investigation was his recre-
alton, he could speak a dozen modern
languages. and had written books
enough to fill an ordinary bookcase
Between his mind and body there was
an equipoise so fine that neither began
a task which the other was not pre-
pared to aid in doing; energy and abil-
ity went hand in hand leading this man
to the highest point on the pyramid of
everlasting fame.
It was pathetic a little while ago 20
see him sink beneath the weight of
years and SHOWS of age, who had defied
the elements and fate so long and with
such success. Accustomed as the world
has been to constant exhibitions of his
power, to the cleaning of his genius
for two generations, it was sad indeed
to see the hero of countless battles meet
in a hopeless struggle a conquering toe
at last. At the very brink Of the grave
he paused and stood for a while. with
that indomitable viii which had placed
so many wreaths upon his brow. And
long after he had passed the last re
lay along the course of human exist
ence, where the cares and burdens OF
public life are cast aside, his tireless
shoulders bore them STILL his voice
rang out again and again for cherished
principles; and men were astonished at
the wondrous power they had thought
waning.
But the end was near. He fingered
for a while, as the PROSTATE oak re-
tains its verdure; but the leaves with
cred, and the end came. The Grand Old
Man is dead.

GRoSvENoR's ILL-ADVIsED AS
SERTIONs.

A Washington dispatch to Chicago
paper says that General GrOsvenor of
Ohio asserts his firm belief that the
French steamer Lafayette, captured
and released by our warships, delivered
French artillerymen to the Spanish at
Havana, and that it was these French
artillerymen who killed the American
sailors at.Cardenas.
Nobody in this country pays much
attention TO what General Grosvenor
says, not even when he talks about his
favorite Observation-Disclosures and figuring
but he is a member of congress, and
as such his words are very apt to at
tract attention, especially by the French
government, at this time. But whether
or no they do, they are very unwise
and their only effect can be TO stir up
ill-feelings between France and this
country. The state department took
notice of the allegations regarding the
conduct of the Lafayette and made in
quiry concerning them, and when the
inquiry was completed it issued the
following:
In view of widely published reports
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-05-19

that the French mail steamship Lafay-
cite, which was recently permitted to
enter Havana and discharge her official
mail, had violated the neutrality under
which the privilege was accorded her
by the government of the United
States. Il is authoritatively stated that
the department OF state has been salts
factorily convinced that nothing of the
kind was done; that no merchandise
. whatever, no contraband of war and
no Spanish gunners were recently
landed at Havana by the Lafayette.
This statement was given out as
result of representations received from
the French embassy. Moreover, the
French ambassador was so anxious to
assure the state department of the sin
cere desire of his government and him
self to maintain the good feeling ex-
listing between this country and his
own. that he took the unusual course
of showing all the private dispatches
passing between the French embassy
at Washington and the French consul
general at Havana.
In view of the statement put forth
by the department of state and all the
facts that led up to it, it would at least
be good taste on the part of General
Grosvenor, as a member of the house
of representatives, not to cast reflec-
tions upon cur own state department
and the sincerity of the French gov
eminent, after the assurances given by
its ambassador at Washington.
We have no desire to apologize for
the administration or to defend France
H.
members of the government should OBJ
serve. and which General Grosvenor, it
seems, has totally disregarded.

SEARCH FOR THE SPANISH
FLEET


Everyone is asking: Where is the
Spanish fleet? but no one answers the
question; perhaps no one can answer it.
That Admiral Sampson has been seek
ing it that he might engage it in battle
everyone knows. Fleet cruisers have
been scouting the ocean in and around
the West Indies, hoping to sight it, but
all in vain. 1t has been as difficult to
locate the fleet as it was to locate one
in the days of sailing vessels, which
did not have to put in anywhere for
coal and when telegraphs and ocean
cables were unknown. 1t must be ad-
mitted that Spain has kept the move
ments of her fleet a profound secret
In Spain there are no American con-
suls to report on them, but there are
American consuls at all the places
where it is conjectured it may have
called in West Indian waters. No
passing steamers, no newspaper boats,
no spies or agents have seen it. 1t all
proves that it is very much easier to
perfect plans for locating and intercept
ing fleets than to carry them out sue
cessfully.
The ocean is a great, wide place, and
even a great fleet upon it is very
small thing and easily missed; COM
paratively few miles are sufficient. The
failure, up to this time, to find the
Spanish fleet shows that systems of
search at sea will have to be greatly
improved and a stimulus to improv-
ing them will surely be given. The
blockade of Havana has been a good
deal of a detriment to the search for
the Spanish fleet, still it is remarkable
that its whereabouts has been and yet
is unknown. 1t is evidently very anx-
ious to get into a Cuban port before
giving battle. if not to avoid battle

Charles Warren Spalding has finally
been admitted to the penitentiary, but
the young mans humiliation and i'm
prisonment do not exempt him from the
brutal assaults Of the malicious and
sensational press. In all ages it has
been considered an act of cowardice to
strike a man when he is down" says
the Chicago Inter-O Ocean. Spalding is
a thoroughly bad egg and it would -
q difficult thing to say anything good
OF him. If he is down it was his own
misdeeds and crimes that brought him
down. There seems TO be a growing
sentiment III various parts of the coun-
try that the criminal and convict must
be treated as an unfortunate and not
as what he is. that he is to be COM
miserated and not punished. 1t is a
false sentiment, and only encourages
rhine.
