A Washington special says: Mrs. Ann E. Gridley, of this city, the mother of Captain Charles Gridley, of the flagship Olympia, who died at Kobe, Japan, whileon his way from Manila to the United States, wrote to Admiral Dewey begging him to give her the particulars of her son's {liness, and such ad- ditional facts as he could about Captain Gridiey's last days. Mrs. Gridley has just received the followirg answer: Flagship Olympia, Cavite, P, I., August 12, 1898, Dear Madam-—Am just in receipt of your letter in regard to the death of your sop, Capt. Charles V. Gridley, and wish to ex- tend to you my most sincere sympathy in your great bereavement, His loss is mourn- ed by all who knew him, and especially by me, whose friend and trusted and gallant assistant he was, His illness began in Hong Kong, but he bravely clung to his post, and uot until after the battle and victory in which he assisted so much, would he con- tent to leave his ship and return to the United States. His death was caused by a complication of diseases, Including diar- rhoea and dropsy, all due to a disordered condition of liver and aggravated by a rup- ture sustained on the day of the battle, The immediate cause of his death was severe hemorrhage of the stomach, which occurred at Kobe. This was entirely unexpected; in- deed, our surgeon bad no {dea that it would ocour or that Captain Gridley was danger- ously ili, aithough, of course, it was koown that he could not remain on duty. “It is a matter of some gratification to me that I was instrumental in obtaining for him sa advancement in bis grade ‘for highly distinguished conduet In battle,’ which be richly deserved, although he did not live to enjoy it, With heartfelt sympathy, very sincerely yours, Gronoz Dewey, CHAPLAIN M'INTYRE GUILTY.

Dr. Cornelius Twing, Grand Prelate, Preaches the Sermon. eo n—— A Pittsburg special says: Not in the his. tory of the Knights Templar conclaves froma 1816 to this day has a conclave ever been opened on a more beautiful day than Sun- day was in Pittsburg. The sup, after hav- ing been hidden behind rain-filled clouds for several days, burst upon the awakening city, and threw his rays of smiles and adml- ration upon the festival array of streets and buildings, The first formal event on the program of the twenty-seventh triennial conclave took place in Trinity Eplscopal Church, It was the official divine service of the Kalghts Templar, and was, as usual, very impressive and largely attended. Most Eminent Bir Knight Warren La Rue Thomas, grand master, was escorted to Trinity Church from the Monongahela Hotel by five hundred Pittsburg Templars, and as many more crowded the church yard unable to obtain admission, The Grand Prelate’s Sermon. The old church was filled to its utmost capacity. Rev, Alfred W, Arundel, rector of Trinity, read the service, and the sermon was dolivered by Rev. Dr. Cornelius L.

From every part of our land there comes to this goodly oity thousands of Knights Templar. “We are not a beleaguering host mor an advancing army; no trumpet sounds sum- moa us to battie; the gleam of our swords awakens no hostile emotion, nor do they io- cite any fear. Thanks for the Victory. “We come In peace from al partsof a land that is at peace. The sound of war has ceased, the strife is over, the bravery of our army and navy have won a glorious victory, and a war that has lasted about one hundred days has advanced civilization one hundred years in the lands that bave been freed from the power of a nation that has always persecuted Free Masonry and tried by inquisitorial methods to suppress it, “Thank God for the vietory. Thank God for the loyaity and patriotism of the United States, Thank God forthe good example of the brave boys who have given up thelr lives for the cause of humanity and progres sive liberty. “The grand encampment soon to assem- ble ln triennial conclave are representatives of the great and glorious order of Christian knighthood, Like cur ancient brethren, are marching towards Jerusalem; but the one of Judea, but the Jerusalem on the hills of heaven, ‘Ia Hoe Bigno Vinces' was the motto of the heroes of the cross in the past, They put the precepts of the Christ. ian religion into practice, and It bore fruit in their lives and action. We must do like wise or our profession Isa vaio and idle thing." NAVAL CASUALTIES. Seventeen Men Kilied find Eighty four Wounded, A Washington special says: Seventeen sail- ors killed and eighty-four casuaities all toid, was the total loss suffered by the United States navy during the war. The figures have just been compiled at the Navy De- partment, In Dewey's great fight in Ma- nila Bay Beja man was killed, and every one of the nine men wounded were able, and did, return to duty. In the battie of July 3, off Santiago, one man was killed, and there were eleven casuaities altogether. Ia that fight, also, every one of the wounded re- turned to daty. The loss suffered io the attack upon the forts at the entrance to Santiago by the American fleet June 22, was one sailor kill ed, and eleven men were the subjects of casualties, of whom only seven were able to return to daly. The heaviest loss of the navy was at Guantanamo. Theres were wenty-two casuaities in the 100-hour fight, and cf the list six marines were killed, Of the sixteen wounded men nine returned to duty, three were invalided from the service, and four continue under treatment. Next after Guantanamo, the battle with the forts and gunboats off Cisafuegos caus. ed the greatest number of casualties, the list aggregating twelve, with one man killed. Another man died subsequently [from wounds, nine retarued to duty, and one con- tinues under treatment. More fatal in its resuitt was tha flarce bat. tie between the torpedo boat Winslow and revenue cutter Hudson with the Spanish land batteries and artillery force at Care denas, Of the eight casualties, five wore deaths, though three wounded men after. ward returned to duty. In ths bombard. ment of San Juan, the cssusities numbered sight, with one man killed, Ons of the wounded men was lovalided home, while six returned to duty. There were four other casualties, securing in as many separate engagments, and that completes the lst of naval losses, Of the sixty-seven men wounded In the war, fifty-four were returned 10 duty, one died of wounds, six were invalided from the service, and six continue under treatment, Cousid- sring results obtained, this list is sald to be the most remarkable ia the naval history of the world.

Bear-Admiral Bampsos was not present, aod the two orders signalled by Schley “Close in" and “Engage the enorny,” did no | good and were unnecessary, for the ships already bad closed in and were engaging the enemy when the orders were run up. he fall text of the report must come from Washington, but many interesting points | were obtained from the savy yard, after the | board, which bad been in session on the | Brookiyn, finally adjourned. A New York special says: American flest in the Under Captain's Orders. The board flade in a more general way that each ship in the fleet knew exactly what to do should Cervera come ont, and did 2 when be actually came out. Each eapiain fought his sbip on plans prepared and ord ers given by Sampson Even had Schiey 4 movement of the fleet in battles, which it was unnecessary for him to do, the pian would Lave been egectuted, because of the prepars- | tions made by Sampson, and within bis gen- eral orders, directed the general Line of the Inquiry. The Board proceeded along these well-de. fined lines in making the inquiry: : 1. The relative positions of the American ships when Cervora came out and through. out the battle, 3 The course of the Brooklyn immediately alter the alarm, 3. The distance of the New York fro Colon when the Spaniard surrendered, 4. The signals made by the Brookiyn. 5. The orders issued by Sampson In prep- | aration for an attempted escape of Cervera, | The Findings. The findings of the Board are summarized as follows: I. The battle was fought and won upon | plans prepared by Hoar-Admiral Sampson. 2, The directing of the movements of ships done by Schley during the battle was Ineon- siderable, : 8. The New York had no active part in the | fight. 4. The Brooklyn was not engaged at #0 | close quarters as has been represented ly | the first report. On an average she was two | miles away from the enemy. 5. The brant of the fohting was borne Ly the Oregon, Texas and Iowa, 6. The New York was about nine miles | from the Colon when that ship surrendered, and between four and five miles from the nearest sister ships eneaged (from which signal distance is taken.) 7. The average range of theships most en. | gaged was about a mils and a hall, 8. No Ameriean ship at any time during the battle was within a mile of an unsurren- dered Spanish ship, New York Not In It, The New York, the board flode, did noth. ing to effect the issue of the tattle, When the Colon's flag came down the New York was ten miles to the eastward, Sampson, on the New York, was near Biboney, when he heard the firing, and then turned about aod eamo back as fast as a forced draught eonid bring bim. The New York was further in- shore than any of the other vessels, but too far away to assist any in the destruction of he a feet. All she did was to fire m the he issues of the battle, the board learned, made from his flagship. The Oregon dashed out from the very beginning of the engage- ment and kept within range of the enemy Chirt of the Battle.
