Wahiunoton, May til. Much com
ment and some criticism have boon
caused by the delay hi forwarding
droops to the I'hilippiiiu islands to sup
port Admiral Duwcy. lloth tho com
ment iLtid tho criticism had their
.irigin in tin desire of tho people that
the fruits of Dewey's victory at Ma
nila .should not he endangered hy any
laaU of assistance from tlie navy or
war department. It Ih known now
that troops would have heeu sent to
Manila before this had it been possi
ble for tlie wur denartment to secure
transports on tho Pacific coast. The
utmost, diflleulty is being experienced
toy the department in obtaining such
transports. The coastwise trade on
the Pacille is not largo as compared
with that on the Atlantic, and a ma
jority of the vessels engaged in the
trade are of foreign reenter. Of
course, ships flying a foreign Hag can
not lie used as transports by the gov
ernment, as such use would constitute
n violation of the neutrality laws of
tlie nation whose Hag the ship bore.
Last night Assistant Secretary
MuUclojnhu received a telegraphic offer
from the agentof the Northern Pacific
steamship company at Seattle, placing
at the disposal of the government the
company's entire ileetof steamers, pro
vided they be given American register.
These ships are the Tacoma, Arizona,
dympla, Columbia, Victoria and Ar
gyll. All are Hritish built vessels and
Hy the Hritish Hag. The likelihood is
that the war department will order
mtcli vessels of the Northern Pacille
Steamship company as may be needed
to San Francisco and then ask con
gress to give them an American regis
tor in order that they may promptly
convoy the available troops to Manila.
1t is tlie desire of the department that
itlie troops following those to be sent
.to Jilie J'hillppiues on Saturday next
.shall go not later than Wednesday,
.June 1. It is imperatively necessary
that they be gotten to Manila as soon
:jis possible, hut in order that they
may go at all it will be unite as neces
sary that some foreign ships be given
-American register by congress.
The advices received by the assist
ant tiucrctary from San Francisco yes
terday indicated that three of the
transports, tlie City of Sydney, the
'City of Peking and the Australia,
"would start on their long journey to
day. Notwithstanding the long delay
in getting these ships away, the otli
ciuls here say it could not be avoided,
as there were many alterations which
Iiad to bo madu in them necessary to
the comfort and health of tho crew.
SHIPS UICADY I'OIt INVAIHNn Ol'llA.
'Tampa, Flu., May 21. Everything
waits on news from tho ileets. When
the long-looked-for and long-hoped-for
meeting between Admirals Sampson
jind Cervora takes place and military
tifUcerH do not for u moment question
tho result it is tho general belief
that orders will bo given to put the
nriny on board the transports at once.
Should the original plan be carried
out of sending only regular troops on
the first expedition, tho fleet of trans-
ports at Port Tampa is amply sutllcient
for that purpose. With the arrival
.yesterday of tho Iroquois. Santiago
and Cherokee, '21 transports are now
at the port, every one fitted for em
liarkutiou. These ships will easily ac
commodate between 15,000 and 10,000
men, somewhat over the total number
of regular troops in camp here. It is
thought :i(l hours after orders are is-
imed to embark, every man, horse and
-pound of supplies can be placed on
board the vessels in waiting.
MISS ll.VKlON AT TAMPA.
Tampa, Fla., May !M. The Red

Clara ISarlon, representative of tho
National Ued Cross society of America,
sind a corps of surgeons and trained
.nurses, arrived at Port Tampa from
Key West yesterday and cast anchor
near the gunboat Helen. The vessel,
which is fully fitted up for hospital
purposes and carries supplies enough
for the equipment of several Red Cross
stations, will, it Is said, follow the
Ileetof troops into Cuban waters. In
speaking of the Red Cross work in Cu
fca Miss Il.irtou said that she hud re
ceived assurance from tho highest
Spanish otliclal sources that her hos
pital at Serro and her headquarters
were being carefully guarded, and that
the Ued Cross supplies left there were

Washington, May 24. It was stated
at tho navy department yesterday, at
the close of olllce hours, that no dis
patches of any kind relating to the
movements of the Ileets or tlie pros
pect of any engagement had been re
ceived during the day, and that the
only dispatcli received related to an
Inconsequcntul prize case. As tlie ships
are now at sea, there is no expectation
of reports until a decisive engagement
occurs and a dispatcli boat gets to a
port, or It is found Cervora bus eluded
our search. In the meantime, there
is a complete lack of otliclal data by
which to forecast the coming engage
ment. A report was current during the
day that tho big battleship Oregon
had arrived at Key West, but the de
partment ollleials would notice it only
by entering a general denial that word
hud been received of any important
vessel movements or arrivals.
Late In tho day the Associated press
dispatches from Madrid, giving the
sharp debate in the cortes over the al
leged flying of the Spanish Hag by
American warships, created much com
ment in naval circles. Spain's protest
to the powers that this use of the flag
was "cowardly and Iniquitous" was
dismissed by naval olllccrs with the
statement that international law
writers agreed on the right to use an
enemy's flag for purposes of deceit, so
long as the flag is hauled down before
a shot is fired.
The statement made by tho Spanish
minister of the interior that the gov
ernment is likely to resort to privateer
ing does not create any apprehension
among ofllcors here. One of the high
est authorities of the navy department
said Spain would adopt privateering
if she felt it to bo to her interest,
without waiting for this country to
give any pretext for such action. It is
felt, however, that Great llritain, Ger
many and France will have considera
ble to say in case Spain resorts to
privateering. The commerce of these
countries with tlie United States
would suffer very severely by Spanish
privateering, ahd its effect would bo
far more disastrous to these foreign
interests than to the shipping of the
United States. It was this influence
of Great llritain, Germany and France
which forced Spain reluctantly to
forego privateering, and it is not
thought probable the foreign in
fluences will now consent to have
their commerce destroyed.
The announcement by wa- of Paris
that the Italian government had pro
tested against tlie continuance of the
blockade of the Cuban coast, on the
ground that it was ineffective'', met
a prompt denial at tlie state depart
ment, and it can lie stated definitely
that neither in Washington nor in
Home have any representations on
this subject been addressed to tho
United Stittes government. As a mat
tor of fact, Italy probably is tlie mari
time power of all others with which
the United States lias had absolutely
no correspondence in the slightest de
gree connected with the Cuban block
ade. As to the allegation that the block
ade Is ineffective, it is said that, on
the contrary, it has been singularly
successful and that, so far as known,
not a single neutral ship subject to de
tention has passed the lines without
tho express consent of our government.
Tho Montserrat, it is true, did enter
Cienfiiegos harbor before our block
ading ships had timu to get around to
the south side of Cuba and establish
tho blockade and she did manage to
get out at night. Put she is a Spanish
whip and Spain is perhaps the only na
tion in the world that has lost the
power to protest against a blockade,
being a combatant herself. It is only
for neutral powers to enter such pro
tests and none of them has as yet the
slightest pretext for such action.
With tho beginning of the present
week, all Spanish vessels In United
States ports, which sailed after tho
outbreak of war, are subject to seizure
as well as all Spanish merchantmen
found on the high seas, save where
they left port for the United States be
fore April 21, last. The president's
proclamation of war allowed such
ships lying in our ports or bound for
them :() days in which to discharge
cargo, and also Insure them safe pas
sage home. That period of time ex
pired last Saturday night.
Under tho energetic management of
Capt. liartlett, who was recalled from
tho retired list into the active service
of the navy department for tho pur
pose, there has just been perfected a
most admirable and thorough system
of coast signaling for war purposes.
Tho navy department itself estab
lished 110 stations on the coast manned
by naval militiamen. Then it called
into service 1,000 lighthouse employes
and 1,000 life saving men, making a
total forco of over 15,000 men, who pa

chored in the stream all night. Sho
adjusted her compasses at an early
hour and then passed up the bay
through tho Raccoon straits and past
the docks on the northern frontage of
the city. Every steam vessel in tho
harbor blow nu revolr to Capt. Glass
and his crew. None of the forts in tho
harbor saluted the vessel but the de
monstration made by the 0,000 soldiers
gathered at the Presidio was tremen
dous. When tho vessel was sighted
coining down the bay the soldiers
gathered on the beach to bid her bon
voyage. They lined the beach for a
mile and cheer upon cheer rang out
from the men who are to so soon fol
low tho Charleston to the scene of Ad
miral Dewey's triumph. Tlie Charles

the beach time and again and the
whistling was heard from one end of

such a send-off as was given tho

A THRILLING STORY.
Tho Captain of the Hark Anita liorwlnil
Tells About the Indignities IIo Suf
fered ut I.as PalmuM.
I'iiilai)i:liiiia, May 23. A thrilling
story of Spanish indignities, tlie burn
ing of tlie stars and stripes and tho
stoning of the American crew of tho
bark Anita llerwind was told yester
day by Capt. Donahoo, of that vessel,
which arrived hero from Las Palmas,
Canary islands, without a single one
of his ofllcors, all having been hold by
the American consul, a native of tho
Canary islands, who resigned his posi
tion as soon as the hostilities began.
Capt. Donahoo "warped" his way
out of tho harbor of Las Palmas at
midnight April 20, unknown to the in
habitants, as the edict had just gono
forth to hold the vessel and imprison
her crew. It was a daring undertak
ing, but Capt. Donahoo, who was ac
companied by his wife, knew full wfdl
to remain longer meant death, as tho
natives were fearfully incensed against
anything American. Three attempts
to burn the vessel were made, and,
failing in this, the mobs took venge
ance in burning the American flag
under the eves of the Herwind's crew.

remains of Mr. Gladstone will be laid
to rest in the peaceful graveyard at
Ilawnrdcn, adjoining the church where
he was married more than half a cen
tury ago.
Every other topic in Great Britain
yesterday dropped out of sight before
the passiug of Mr. Gladstone. Ha
warden focused the attention, which
from the highest to the men in the
street, was respectful, sincere and pro
foundly moved. In two places, per
haps, was tho tension most keen and
most heartfelt the house of commons
and Hawardcn. Just before the houso
rose yesterday a telegram from Mr.
Herbert Gladstono readied Lord Stan
ley announcing that his father was
sinking. Already before his deatli the
hush of grief seemed to fall over tho
scene of his triumphs; from the pres
ent men turned to the past, recalling
sayings and doings. A great lion lay
dying, his old colleagues, his old timo
enomies and followers watching his
last long fight with his last and im
placable foe, as they watched in past
days his fight against foes whom lie
could overcome. True to himself he
was yielding slowl', inch by inch.
Disregarding recent precedence, it was
decided that the programme in parlia
ment should be the same as that
adopted in the cases of the earl of
Chatham and of the younger 3fitt,
namely, an address to her majesty, for
a funeral at the public charge and a
monument erected in Westminister
abbe j'.
"When "William K. Gladstono wns born OtOTgo
III. was Iclm?, Napoleon was ovorshaCtwIni;
Kuropo and Joseph IJonaparto had been year
on tho throne of Spain. It was Deeomber'ja,
1809, tho year that saw Madison innugvratod
fourth president of tho United States, filter

from that time to this almost continually la
publle llfo. Four times prlmo minister, ho
has probably exerted more Inlluoneo on the
destinies of tho Ilrltlsh empire In tho last cen
tury than any other man. unable to btar
tho strain of oftico on account of tho do-iuy of
his physical powers Incident to his uilv.incod
years, ho resigned tho prcmlcr-diip in 131 4 and
retired to prlvato llfo to spend his last days la
tho bosom of his family and tho companion
ship of tho wlfo who has been by his side for
nearly 00 yenrs. Prom his retirement, how
over. Ills voice wns now and then hoard on pub
lic questions, and it always commanded at
tention, not only nmoni; English speak Ins na
tions, but throughout tho world.
The history of Gladstone's public llfo Is tho
history of English and European politics slnco
ho llrst entored parliament. When ho retired
to private life ho was old enough to bo tho
grandfather of tho generation of politicians
thou coming Into power. Ueglnnlng his po
litical llfo as a pronounced tory, Mr. Gladstono
became llrst a liberal and then an advocate of
Irish homo rule. Ho was M years a tory.
'JO years a liberal and tho rest of tho timo
a "homo ruler." Many aro tho peerages
which Gladstono has created as political re
wards and It Is said that many times ho has
been urged to accept a peerage for himself.
Ho novcr would accept tho title, however, pre
ferring to bo tho great commoner, England's
"Grand Old Man."
An account of Mr. Gladstone's llfo which
failed to notlco his contributions to literaturo
mid scholarship would indeed bo lacking.
Apart from his political pamphlets his boohs
