GLADSTONE AWAITS THE END.
A Member of the Family Describes the
Condition of the Great Man.

LONDON, May ia letter written
by a member of Mr.. Gladstone's family
says the patient has not left his room
for a fortnight. 1t adds:
SIT had been hoped he might have
some sense of enjoyment when the
warm weather returned, but the truth
lie he has taken leave of all portions of
earth. He Is possessed with a sense of
departure. His body, mind and soul
ask for no food of any kind. He is
unable to listen to anything but a few
short sentences, Even this is often
an effort. He has een three or four
friends outside of the family, but no
conversation occurred-noShing but a
farewell blessing for each of them"
The Catholics of America Patriotic.
The Archbishops of the Catholic
church in the United States have
agreed upon a letter addressed to the
clergy and laity of the country which
Is to be read in every Catholic church
in the United States. 1t directs that
prayer be said in all the churches for
the succes of the war against Spain,
and then says:
"We are now engaged in a war of
section against section and State
against State, but we are united as one
man against a foreign enemy and a
common foe. If, as we are taught by
our holy church, love of country is
next to love Of God, a duty imposed
ON us by all laws, human and divine,
then 1t is our duty to labor and to
pray for the temporal and spiritual well
being of the brave soldiers who are
battling for our beloved country. Let
us faithfully beg the God of battles to
crown their arms on land and Q with
victory and triumph, and to stay un-
necessary effusion of blood and speed
lily to restore peace to our beloved
land and people,"

Ordered Reported by the Bapking
and Currency Committee.

WASHINGTON, May .16.-Mr. FL. II.
Hanna, chairman Of the executive COM
mittee, representing the Indianapolis
monetary convention Of the boards of
trade and commercial organizations of
the country, speaking of the banking
bill ordered reported to the house by
the banking and currency committee
yesterday, said:
The bill ordered reported tavorably
to the lower house Of congress by the
committee on banking and currency is
a very substantial, courageous and
comprehensive recognition of the
necessity for changes IN the present
law. The recommendations include
the features of reform sought by the
monetary commission In its report, but
in In some respects by different
methods. The bill seeks to main
tain the parity Of all moneys
or currencies; to favor silver
as the larger change or market
money of the people; to create an issue
and redemption division of the treas
ury; to put the burden of the current
redemption of the greenback on the
national banks: to restrict the reissue
of greenbacks redeemed by the govern
ment except in exchange for gold; to
provide for cancellation of greenbacks
by use of idle gold in the treasury, and
to authorize a test beginning of use of
general credit currency by the national
banks. 1t is q great step forward"

INTO % Trap

MADRID, May l6.-The impartial
publishes o dispatch from Havana, CIV
i~ngsanother extraordinary Spanish YER
sion of a war episode. 1t says:
ION Friday the gunboats Condo de
Venadito and Nenva Bspana steamed
out of the harbor and attacked an
American squadron of two cruisers and
five auxiliary cruisers, which were out
side. The Spanish vessels fred two
shots and the Americans eight, the Let
ter apparently ~retreating damaged.
Three crowded tugs followed the gun
boats, the people on board cheering
them"
TIT would seem possible that the facts
upon which the I~mparcial's dispatch Is
based are to be found In the dispatch
from the Associated Press dispatch
boat Kate Spencer, fled at Key West
yesterday and sent out early yesterday
morning. The Spanish ships did steam
out of Havana harbor end tried to
draw some of our vessels under the
guns of the heavy Spanish batteries.
The ruse was unsuccessful, though the
Santa Clara battery sent some badly
aimed shells at our ships, which re-
piled by driving the two Spaniards
back into Havana. The American re
port, however, says the Spanish YES
sells engaged were the Alfonso XII.
