CHARLES v. GRIDLEY.
Death of the Commander of the Cruiser
Olympia.

| Death of the Commander of the Cruiser
Olympia.
Washington, June 7.-Captain Chas.
V. Gridley, commander of the cruiser
Olympia, and one of the heroes of the
brilliant victory at Manila, is dead.
The announcement of his death was re-
ceived at the navy department this
afternoon in a cablegram from Pay
master Gait, of the navy, dated Kobe,
Japan, June 4, and directed to Sscre-
tary Long. The dispatch contained
this simple statement:
Captain Gridley died today. The
remains accompany me on the COptic. "
Captain Charles Vernon Grid'ey is
the first American officer Of great prom
inence whose death is direct result of
the existing war with Spain. AS the
commander of Admiral Dewey's splen-
did flagship and one OF the admiral's
chief advisers, Captain Gridley
achieved distinction at the battle Of
Manila bay and added to his previous
laurels by winning high praise from
his superiors for distinguished galIan-
Try and ability. He fought his ship
from the coming tower, while Ad-
miral Dewey directed the movements
of the squadron from the bridge of the
vessel. 1t was not known for several
weeks after the engagement that Cap
tain Gridley had suffered from it, and
even now the precise nature of his
trouble is not disclosed.

Off Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston,
Jamaica, June 6. - Rear-Admiral
Sampson, with the cruiser New York,
lis flagship, accompanied by the bat
tle-ship Oregon, cruiser Mayflower and
the torpedo boat Porter, joined Com
modore Schley's squadron off Santiago
Wednesday morning, and their COM
bined commands have the Spanish feet
securely locked in the harbor.
Admiral Sampson left the heavy
monitors and light gunboa ats off Car
denas Monday morning, all danger of
the appearance of the Spaniards from
the eastward having been removed
with the definited information that
Schley had hunted them to their holes,
and under com mand of Commodore
Watson, the monitors and gunboat
returned to reinforce the blockade on
the north coast of Cuba.
Admiral Sampson did not assume
command of the amalgamated squad
rons on his arrival. Each squadron
retains its separate entirety, and Com
modore Schley has his single starred
pennant on the Brooklyn.
The American fleet off Santiago now
numbers IL fighting ships, two colliers
and cable-cutting ship. Neither the
Solaee, the hospital ship, nor the Red
Cross ship State of Texas, which the

The News From Port au Prince,

Port au Prince, Hayti, June g.
This morning at o'clock, the Ameri-
can squadron began the bonn bardment
of the Notifications of Santiago de Cuba,
and lively cannonading ensued for
two hours, which silenced the Spanish
batteries.
An American vessel, the Merrimac,
described in the cable from Santiago as
an auxiliary cruiser, made dash to
force the entrance, succeeded in passing
the first line of defenses, but was tor
pedoed about 500 feet up the channel.
She went down ''perpundicularly."
An officer, an engineer and six seamen
were taken prisoners. The number of
victims is unknown.
Only the funnel and mastheads of
the sunken vessel can be seen.
There is great excitement in the city.
A part of the population assisted in
the fighting on the heights. Every
body is astounded at the audacity of
the American vessel.
The American squadron was cruising
all the while in the ofing.
