GRIDLEY'S son A CADET.
Strong Movement to Have Him Ap-
pointed to Naval Academy.

Washington, June Capt. Gridley's
son, John P. Vincent Gridley, may be
appointed a cadet at Annapolis as a
tribute to the memory of the comman-
der of the Olympia, who died on his
way home from Manila President Nc
KinIey said today that he would like to
make the appointment, but has no va
cancy at present, and none in sight
until next year, when Mr.. Gridley may
be too old, but the Pennsylvania dele
CATION may bring about the appoint
ment this year.
Just before Capt. Gridley left for the
Asiatic station, he was given dinner
in Boston by his old friend, President
Bliss of the Boston and Albany rail
road. The other guests were Samuel
Hoar, c. E. Stratton, Henry Gould,
Frank Bartlett and Col. w. r. Liver
more. These gentlemen came here yes
terday in President Bliss private car.
expressly to ask for the appointment of
John Gridley to the naval academy,
and today called on the president, who
told them that he would like to make
the appointment, expressing his nigh
admiration for Capt. Gridley, but eX-
planned the circumstances, and they
went to the capitol and laid the matter
before the Pennsylvania delegation.
Strong hopes are entertained that it
may be arranged.

AN ERRATIC CABLE.
First It Doesn't Go and Then 1t Goes.


Washington, June 9.-There is consid-
cradle mystery concerning the cutting
of cables running out of Cuba, and the
continuance of cable service from that
island. 1t was positively established
today that the French cable running
from Santiago to Cape Haytien went
out of service last Friday and remained
out of working condition until Satur-
day. During the twenty-four hours in
terruptiOn the cable company was I'M
line. There is little doubt that the in
cable cutting ship sent out by General
Greedy and in charge of signal service
officers.
But the mystery of the affair is
that the French cable began working
about is beyond explanation by the
best cable experts. The French Gable
company is as much in the dark on
this point as are the authorities here.
All that the company knows is that it
could not do business from the Sd to the
4th instant. 1t is apparent that the
cable was not cut, else it could not
have resumed service. AT the same
time nothing short of cutting can ac-
count for the complete Gripping of the
cable on the 3d.
The matter is further complicated by
reports reaching the officials here that
the cable again stopped working on
Monday. The condition of this cable
is regarded as important by the author
tiles here, as it is one of the means open
to General Blanco in his communication
with the Spanish authorities.

SEND FOR DEWEY.
From the Atchison GIobe.)

(E'rOm the AtchiSOn GIObe)
Now that the Spanish navy at Manila
has been destroyed, the board of STRAIT
egg should send for Admiral Dewey to
take charge of the American fleet in
Cuban waters. There have been a hun
dred false stories sent out concerning
actions of the American fleet in Cuban
waters, and those in charge of the ships
seem more anxious to advertise than to
fight Yesterday we were told that an
American ship had been sunk in Santi-
ago harbOr in such a way that the
American ships couldn't get in, or the
Spanish ships get out. Today we are
told that the American ships have pas
sed the sunken Merrimac, and destroy
ed the Spanish ships inside the harbor
Dewey does not do business that way
When you hear a story from Dewey,
the truth is better than the first rum
ors: he is out to fight, and not to ad-
vertise. Dewey had five or six ships at
Manila: Sampson had II or Is at San
tiago, many Of them of a much better

A RUSH OF TEA.
Importers Will Try to Get in Sup

Tacoma, Wash. June st is reported
here that importers are making quiet
and extra ordinary effort to hurry all the
tea possible into America before the pros
pective war duty shall become effective,
and that probably at least four of the
Northern Pacific Steamship company's
fleet of tea steamers would arrive here
this month, an exceptionally large num-
Der In view of the fact of the govern
ment Selling these steamers for use as
transports it is inferred that the vessels
may be loaded with tea at the nearest
available point and rushed to Tacoma be-
fore july l. saving thousands of dollars
duty, which would go to Uncle Sam after
the war revenue law became operative.
and at the same time hurry the boats
along for service in embarking troops to
Manila
The Olympia was due here June 10 and
the Arizona July Z. The Columbia is in
japanese waters and the Tacoma will be
due in Yokohama in a day or two and
could be returned here in a very short
time. Pacific coast officials here can say
nothing about such move, claiming that
arrangements for freight coming this way
are made on the Asiatic side.

THE TWELFTH GEMS Us.
The Senate Passes a Bill Providing
for It

The Senate Passes Bill Providing
for It.
Washington, June "a bill providing
for the taking of the twelfth census was
passed by the senate yesterday, after
debate which occupied the greater part
of three days. Several weeks ago a
census bill was presented by the com
mittee having the matter in charge,
but the measure was so unsatisfactory
that it was recommitted to the COM
mittee. The bill passed yesterday was in
troduced in lieu of that which was re-
committed, and, as slightly amended,
received the unanimous support of the
senate. Under it, if it should become
a law, a director of the census, as
sistant director and five expert statiS-
ticians will be appointed Immediately to
make the preliminary arrangements for
the taking of the census of 1900, in
cordance with the outline presented in
the bill.
A determined effort was made to pro-
vide that the employees of the census
bureau should be examined and certi-
fed by the civil service commission but
it failed by vote of IS to 81. A pro-
vision was inserted that more than
two-thirds of the supervisors and emu
merators should belong to one political
party.

class than the ships Dewey took to
Manila. The Spanish fleet at Manila
was twice as large as the Spanish fleet
at Santiago, providing there is Span
ish fleet in that harbor, yet Dewey de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila in
a few hours.
People are becoming tired of the
monkey business at Santiago, and in
Cuban waters generally. They would
like to see Dewey take charge of the
squadron now controlled by Sampson.
The advertising the army and navy
men are getting now is costing the peo-
pie a million dollars a day.
