st. Louis, June IA special to the
Post Dispatch from Clarksville, Mo-,
says: An excursion boat from Quincy,
ILL.,, and Hannibal, Mo-, arrived here
with about 300 negroes on board. After
the boat had tie1 up, Curtis Young got

Mclean went on board to quell it. He
put Curtis Young under arrest, when
somebody in the crowd shot the mar

through town when the shooting be-
came known and the citizens began to
patrol the streets armed with guns and
revolvers. A posse of so men went on

Charles Taylor, all colored, and took

NAVAL HERO DEAD.
Capt. Gridlcy, Commander of Dewey's
Flagship mt the Battle of Ma
nila, Passes Away.

Washington, June Capt. Charles
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 received
by the navy department late Sunday
Afternoon in a cablegram from Pay
master Gelt, of the navy, dated at Kobe,
Japan, June A, and directed to Secretary
Long. The dispatch contained this
simple statements: "Capt. Gridley died
to-day. Remains accompany me on
Coptio."
Capt. Vernon Gridley is the first
American officer of great prominence
whose death is direct result of the ex-
isting war with Spain. AS commander
of Admiral Dewey's splendid flagship
and one of the admiral's chief advisers
Capt. Gridley achieved distinction at
the battle of Manila bay and added to
his previous laurels by winning high
praise from his superiors in the service
for distinguished gallantry and ability.
He fought his ship from the coming
tower, while Admiral Dewey directed
the movements of his squadron from
the bridge of the vessel.
1t was not known for several weeks
after the engagement that Capt. Grid
ley suffered from it; and even now the
precise nature of his trouble is not dis
closed. Upon the arrival of the Zafiro
at Hong-Kong on the Goth of May the
navy department was notified that Capt
Gridley had been condemned by board
of medical survey and "invalided'
home. Subsequent advlues received by
the department indicated that Capt
Gridley was suffering from the effect:
of rupture supposed to have been re
ceived during the battle at Manila, but
no details were given. 1t was not sup
posed that his illness was very serious

be unable to secure the services of dis
interested power 10 take the initiative
in peace movement. This was the
view expressed by leading member of
the diplomatic corps. He said that
much surprise nGd been caused at for
eign capitals by the resentment in the
United States against the kindly rep
resentations of the great powers, made
to President Mckinley some weeks ago.
which had been treated by the Ameri-
can press and by public opinion
throughout this country as an intrusion
on the part of the great powers. For
that reason the efforts since made by
Spain to induce the European powers
to intervene had met with fiat failure
because none of the powers wish to
arouse the enmity of the United States
For the same reason, this diplomatic
official pointed out, the European pow
ers were 10th to befriend Spain at the
present time even to the extent of max
ing inquiry as to what basis of peace
would be acceptable to the United
States. No one power would undertake
such inquiries, he said, as it would sub
iect that power to the possibility of be-
ing snubbed. He thought such a snut
quite likely in view of the manner in
which the kindly representation of the
powers had been received some week:
ago. And, while no power was willing
to act alone, neither could the power:
be brought together for united actor
along that line.

TIRED OF THE WAR.
Many Indications That Spain Is Anx-
ious for n Return of Peace
Powers 10th to Act.

Washington, June 6.-The belief is
growing in the best informed govern
ment circles that Spain is sincerely
anxious to make peace, and that even
now she is seeking favorable oppor-
tunity TO make overtures in that direc-
tion. Numerous evidences Of this have
come to the attention Of the authorities
here, but up to this time no actual move
has been made toward ascertaining on
what basis the United States would con-
slider peace. 1t is said that the first step
would be toward having some disinter-
ested power make inquiry of this gov
ernment as to what terms would be ac-
cepted, after which the terms being
stated, 1t would be for Spain 20 form a
commission and make formal tender
of peace. The authorities here feel that
Spain is feeling her way toward move
ment of this kind.
One evidence of ii is the utterance of
the Spanish ambassador at London urg-
ing that peace movement is opportune
at this time. 1t is thought to be highly
improbable that Spanish official of his
rank would make a statement of this
kind unless it voiced the view enter
| tained by the authorities at Madrid.
Another evidence is the sending of
Senor Castillo to Paris, his principal
mission being to enlist sympathy there
and to encourage movement towards
securing peace on basis honorable TO
| Spain. With this comes the report of
| the serious embarrassment of the Bank
| of Spain, on which the government relies
for funds to carry on the war. The des-
perate condition of the Spanish forces
at Manila, Santiago and Havana are
looked upon as added reasons why
Spain should be solicitous at this time
for peace.
But while Spain is thought to be de.
sirous to secure peace, she appears tc

May Prove Unsenworthy.

Washington, June Z. - In view of the
newspaper reports that the vessel Cen
tennial, chartered by the war depart
ment as a transport for the Manila ex-
pedition, is unseaworthy, Assistant Sec
retary Meiklejohn has wired the agents
of the department at San Francisco to
have another and thorough inspection
of the ship. If the assertions regarding
the unhtness of the vessel for service are
borne out by the examination the char
ter will be cancelled. 1t was intended
by the department that the Centennial
should form one of the feet of vessels
to compose the second expedition to the
Philippines.

That Cadiz fleet which was reported
to be doing strange things in the West

that the Spanish ships were at Cadiz

Protest Presented by Hay.

London, June T. The United States
ambassador, Col. John Hay, called at
the foreign Office Monday and presented
evidence of Spanish officials making
Canada the base of operations, and pro-
tested against continuance of this
practice. The protest is based on the
fact that it would be a breach of neu-
trality for Great Britain to permit her
territory to be used for such hostile pur-
poses.

The new coal plant that the Balti-

Sandusky, Ohio, will consist of an ele-
waited track to be used either with side
dump or drop-bottom cars, the coal
dropping into bins from which it will
flow into buckets of four tons capacity,
each placed upon movable platforms.
Derricks of capacity of ten tons each
will lift the buckets to the vessel.
There will be sixteen of these patent
drop bottom buckets and they will be
handled by two of the latest steam re-
volving derricks, and these machines
will give the plant a capacity of about
300 tons Of coal per hour at a minimum
cost for the work, and with slight
