They are Prowling Around Fortlfiea-tlons--Wo!iided tho SeiMry. A special from Key West, Fia. , says a sergeant of artillery on duty at a mortar battery near Fort Taylor was fired upon ca the morning of the 'JTth by three uuknown man, who lie says he knows to bo Spaniards. Tho lire was promptly returned, but -the men es caped. The affair, which is involved in a good deal of mystery, began when three swarthy men made an attempt to enter the gate of the reservation, but were turned off by tbo suuUy. That night between 10 and H o'clock the ser geant of the artillery .guard, near the mortar battery, discovered iho figures of three men a few yards, ahead of him. Almost simultaneously with the discov- HELD BY DEWEY'S LANDING TARTY. ery they opened fire upon him with pis tols. Three bullets whizzed harmless ly past the sergeant, but a fourth lodged in the fleshy part of his left arm, just above the elbow. The sergeant dropped . his raised rifle, and, as he did so, and before he could raise his rifle again, the men turned and fled out of range. He sent several shots after them and then went for the guard. A sharp lookout was kept- for the strangers, and, soou after midnight, a suspicious noise was heard outside the gate near which the mortar battery is located. An investigation resulted in cosimod:RK v, SCHLEY. the discovery, of a carriage in the street just outside the gate. The sergeant gave orders to fire aud a volley wa3 sent at the vehicle.

This official funeral, the first since that of Lord Palmerston, was rendered an imposing spectacle by the magnifi cence of the building in which it was solemnized. The coffin rested on an elevated bier, before the altar, ita plainness hidden beneath a pall of white and gold, embroidered with the text, "Kequiescat in Pace. " Six tall candles beside it and on either side stood the supporters cf the pall. The Prince of Wales aud Duke of York were at the head of the coffin, and ranging behind them were the Marqui3 of Salisbury, the Earl of Kimberty, A. J. Balfour, Sir William Vernon Har court, the Duke of Rutland, Lord Rose berry, and Mr. Gladstone's two old time friends, Baron Rendel and George Armistead. Within the chancel stood the Dean of "Westminster, and behind him were gathered the cathedral clersry, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the scarletand white suppliced choir tilling the chapel. The mourners who sat in the stalls nearest to the bier were Mrs. Glad stone', her sons, Herbert and Stephen, and other members of the family, with little Dorothy Drew, Mr. Gladstone's favorite grandchild. The Princess of Wales and the Duchess of York occu pied the deau's pew, opposite. In tiers of temporary seats in tho north and south transepts were assem bled the two houses of parliament, the mayors of principal' cities," . delegates from Liberal organizations and repre sentatives of other civic and political organizations, while the long naive was crowded withthousands of men and women, among them being most of the celebrities in all branches of English life, and every gallery, balcony and niche high up among the rafters, held a cluster of deeply interested spectators. In all 2,500 persons were assembled in the abbey, all clothed in the deepest black, saveafew officials, whose rega lia gleamed brilliantly from this som ber background. Thousands thronged the square outside, in order to witness the passage of the funeral procession from Westminster Hall. The procession that accompanied the remains to the grave was composed of most of the notable people in London, and the funeral seryices were full of pathos. The bishop of London officiat ed and the archbishop of Canterbnry pronounced the benediction. Mrs. Gladstone stood bravely, with great composure, throughout the ser vice. Her face was lifted upward, and her lips were moving as though repeat ing the lines of the service. The Prince of Wales, the Duke of York and other pall-bearers shook hands with Mrs Gladstone, the mourners filed past the grave, taking a last view of the coffin, and Avhen they had been escorted down the nave to the entrance, the people slowly departed. THE ACTION OFF SAN JUAN. Admiral Sampson's Official Keport'to ' the Navy Department. The following is a copy of a report made by Rear Admiral Sampson, con cerning the action off San Juan de Puerto Rico: "Upon approaching San Juan, it was seen that none of the Spanish vessels were in the harbor. I was therefore considerably in doubt whether they ) had reached ban Juan and again de parted for some unknown destination, or whether they had not arrived. As their capture was the object of the ex pedition, ond as it was essential that they should not pass to the westward, I determined to attack the batteries defending the port, in order to develop their positions and strength, and then, without waiting to reduce the city or subject it to regular bombardment which would require due notice turn to the westward. - 'T commenced the attack as soon as it was good daylight. This lasted, about three lxours, when the signal was made to discontinue the firing, and the squad ron stood to the northward until out of sight of San Juan, when the course was laid to the westward, with the view of communicating with the department at Porto Plata and learn if the department had obtained information as to the movements of Spanish vessels. "At Cape Haitien I received word from the department that the Spanish vessels had been sighted off Curacao on the 14th. "As I stated in my telegram, no seri ous injury was done to my ships, and only one man was killed and seven wounded slightly. Oldest American Fort. Standing, sentinel-like, where the Susquehanna splits itself into the north and south branches, is old Fort Augusta, the veteran fighting strong hold of the United States. Beside a modern fort it would look, in size, like a dog alongside of an elephant. It was built in 1756, after plans by Colonel Gordon, as , a protection against the French and hostile Indians, and was named after the mother of George III. In shape it closelj- re sembles a bake oven and its interior is curious and interesting. A small mound of earth marks the spot, with an open ing in the ground two and one-half feet wide. Twelve four-inch stone " steps lead below. On descending the ground space inside is found to be 10x12 feef, aud eight feet from the other floor to the apex of the arched ceiling. The arch is brick and commences in an off set purposely made in the wall five feet ttboye the ground floor. Miss Mugg I don't sop how it is your lister failed to find me at the station.

He said the committee was not unanimous but approached the great question involved as Democrats and as North Carolinians. The division was on the proposition from the Popu lists and three of the committee favored making a counter proposition, but had patriotically decided not to make any minority report so that the committee is practically a unit. There was no dis agreement as to the platform. The platform was adopted by airising vote, and unanimously. It is as follows: The Democratic party of North Caro lina," in convention assembled, do hereby approve, endorse anp ratify the last Democratic National and State platforms and pledge our earnest sup port to the principles therein expressed. We denounce the Republican party for the passage of the Diugley tariff bill, which has increased the burdens of taxation upon our consumers, and given the trusts and monopolists greater power - to rob the people. Believing that under our present methods of Fed eral taxation more than three-quarters of our national revenues are paid by people owning less than one-quarter of the property of the country, we pro test against such inequality and in justice, and, in order to remedy, to some extent, this great wrong, we favor an income tax and favor all con stitutional methods to sustain it. "We denounce the Republican party for its defeat of the Teller resolutionsj declaring our national bonds payable in silver as well as gold, and denounce it for its determined purpose of more thoroughly fastening the single gold standard upou our people and for its avowed hostility to the free and unlim ited coinage of silver, as well as gold, at the ratio of 16 to 1, into full legal tender money. We denounce the Re publican party for its determination to issue bonds at this time and we de nounce the Republican war tax bill, which lately passed the House of Rep resentatives, as unjust, unequal in its burdene. and unnecessarily vexatious, and we demand that the silver 6eign orage be coined; that an income lax be levied and that the Secretary of the Treasury be authorized to issue the necessary amount of full legal tender greenbacks or United States Treas ury note3, in order to meet the ex penses of the war with Spain and to supply the revenue deficit under the Dingley bill. "While we deplore the war with Spain we pledge our earnest support to the government in all honorable ways to effect a speedy and successful con clusion of hostilities. "We favor a union of the silver forces of -the country in the congressional ction and cordUlly inrite ail ToUrs, without regard to past political affilia tions, to unite with us in supporting our candidates for Congress who favor the free coinage of silver, thus giving practical force aud effect to their com mendation of our Democratic national chairman, Hon. James K.' Jones, and to the congressional committee. We admire and commend without stint the great and gallant fight made by iion. William J. Bryan iu the last national campaign, for the success of our party and the principles of our platform. We denounce xhe scandal, extrava gance, incompetency aud corruption of the present Republican State adminis tration. We deuounce all enactments of tho last two Legislatures by which the cities and towns in the State havo been turned over to negro domination, and we pledee ourselves to enact such laws as will give security and protec tion to the property and people of every town aad community in the State. We denounce the placing of negroes on the committees to supervise white schools, and we pledge ourselves, if restored to power, to enact such legis lation as will make this impossible. -We denounce all legislation enacted by the Legislatures of 181)5 and 1896, for carrying out the base and partisan de signs of the Republican party. "Whereas, The Democratio party is a national organization; and "Whereas, The Democratic organi zation of North Carolina is a part of the said organization; Resolved, That we endorse the let ter of Mr. Bryan, and the address of Chairman Jones, seeking to united the silver forces. "We denounce the placing of ignor ant, irresponsible aud corrupt men in office. We oppose the removal by cor porations of suits or cases from our Stato to Federal courts and favor leg islation to prevent is. We favor fair and just election laws. We favor a gov ernment of the people, by the people uud far tlie people, economy in expen ditures, tho abolition of unnecessary offices, decency in administration, 1 bf constant improvement of our edu cational system, charity to. the unfor tunates and rule by iho white men of the State. We favor the extension of the powers of the railroad commissiou and close scrutiny into their affairs in order to ascertain, establish and main tain such rates as shall bo fair and just to the people, and to the .trausporatiou and transmission corporation. We fa vor the election of United States Sena tors and railroad commissioners by the people. ! We call attention to the wise, economical, honest and honorable ad ministration of the affairs of our State for twenty years prior to the present Republican administration and promise the people a return of wise, honest, economical and honorable administra tion under Democratic success. We call upon every beliover in Ibonor, honest3r and economy, upon every advocate of white supremacy, upou every advocate of equal and just taxation, upon every advocate of the income tax and oppo nent of plundering tariff taxation, upon every advocate of the restoration of silver and opponent of the single gold standard and the present issue of bonds as threatened by the Republican party, upou every opponent of government by injunction and advocate of the jurib diction of State courts over cases aris ing in the State against corporations doing business therein, upon every lover of decency and good government and opponent of the present prevailing conditions, to unite with us in our con test with the Republican party, the groat enemy of our principles, aud aid us in redeeming the nation from tho clutches of greed and injustice and the State from the 6candal and incompe tence which now afflct it. We favor the enactment of such legislation as will encourage capital to make in vestments within our State and guar antee that the same shall be justly pro tected." . Governor Jarvis then presented the report of the committee on the Populist proposition and the resolutions regard ing fusion with the Populists. The re port recommends that the convention adopt a proposition respectfully declin ing the proposition. (Great cheers.) And that the Democratic State commit tee be instructed to entertain no further proposition for fusion, and that the secretary be instructed to notify the Populist State chairman of this ac tion. The report was then adobtetl, no noes being heard. At 11:15 the convention adjourned sine die. Three Generations Meet. At Virginisville Hotel, Reading, Pa. in which they ate their wedding break fast fifty years ago, ex, Congressman S. E. Ancona and his wife celebrated their erolden wedding by entertaining three generations of their offspring. It was a notable gathering, as Major Ancona, his sons and their sons, are among the most popular citizens of Reading. Astor's Cattery Accepted. The battery offered to the United States government by John Jacob As tor, when hostilities first broke out, has been accepted. Spain Wants Peace. The Madrid correspondent of the Times says: "The dominant note of public opinion here is a desire to find some way to honorable peace, as Spain has nothing to gain by an indefinite prolongation of hostilities. All idea that France will intervene, however, is now abandoned", and hopes are fixed upon the possibility tfcat Duke Almo -dovar de Rio, the new Minister of For eign A flairs, will find Eome fitting oc casion on which to take the initiative." Four Killed. An engine collided with the Oakdale accommodation on the 27th at Graya ville, north of Chattanoga, on the Cin cinnati Southern Railroad. The crew on the engine, composed of Conductor Simpson, Engineer Hudson, Fireman Edwards and two brakemen, Matthews led Swanson, were instantly killed, except Simpson, who is not expected to live. Fireman Day and Baggage Master Dresbeck, of the accommoda tion, were seriously hurt. You can never judge the popularity of an actress by the flowers she pre- .senta to herself. . The German Consul Wanted to Land Provisions. BELLIC0SEAT DEWEY'S REFUSAL Threatened to Use Two German Cruisers to Effect the Lauding, but It Wni'-Not Accomplished. Advices from Manila, via Shanghai, of May 24, Eays that Admiral Dewey was threatened by the German Consul at that port. After an interview with Agusti, the general of the Sparish army in the Philippines, the consul attempted to land provisions from the German ships. Dewey refused his permission. The consul deolared he would force a landing with the ald of the two Ger man cruisers in the harbor. Dewey retorted that he would fire on the cruisers if they attempted to exe cute the consul's threat. The provi sions have not yet been landed. The Germans are very friendly to ward the Spaniard and are holding frequent confereuces with them. 'J hey expect to obtain the Carolines in the final partition of the Spanish possessions in the Orient. The Span iards are expecting reinforcements. News From Dewey.

Agulruaido, the rebel commander-in-chief, who was brought here from Hong Kong, is organizing a force of native cavalry, and may render assistance that will be valuable. Sigaed Dewet. They Were All Asleep. The coroner's investigation of the Florida Central & Peninsular Railroad collision at Burrough's Station, In which Private Barbee, of the First North Carolina Regiment, was killed, aud Private Colclough was seriously injured, showed 'that the conductor, "brakeman and flagman of the freight train which collided with the military train were asleep when the third sec tion of the regular passenger train passed the siding ou which the freight was waiting, and did not know whether signals were displayed indicating that another section was to follow. The engineer denied ho was asleep, but was in doubt about the signals and relied upou the fireman, who said none were displayed. Ship JSuildcrs Consolidate. Reports received in New York from London, announce the consolidation of the Cramp Ship Building Company, of Philadelphia, . aud Vickers' Sond & Maxim, of Barrow-in-Furness, Eng land, into one great ship-building con cern. This alliance, if perfected, and there is little t doubt of it3 being ac complished, will make one of thb most powerful corporations of its kind on either continent. Spain's Finances. In the Chamber of Deputies at Mad rid, on the 24tb, Senor Pulgcerver, Minister of Finance, replying to the criticism of Marquis de " Villaverde, Conservative, with re'spect to the finan cial policy of the government, repu diated the charge of want of foresight and asserted that Spain's finances were in a "satisfactory condition, assuring the payment of all the expensos of the war." No Alliance Vet. The talk of an alliance between the United States and England has bo come such a wide-spread topic of con versation that in some diplomatic quar ters serious apprehension was shown that there was already an understand ing amounting almost to a treaty. Hut the State Department has set all such rumors at rest by stating that no Anglo-American alliance is contemplated by the United States. Wheeler Wants Bryan on Ills Staff. A special to the Constitution from Montgomery, Ala., says: "J. A.
