In the Battle of Manila He Fought Ilis Ship from the Conning Tower?Ilia Death Due to His Experiences in the En gagenicnt. Washington, June 5.?Capt Charles V Gridley, com nander of tho cruiser Olympia and one of the heroes of the brilliant victory at Manila, is dead. The announcement of his death was re reived by the Navy Department, late this afternoon, in a cablegram from Paymaster Gait, of the navy, dated at Kobe, Japan, June 4th. and directed to Sec i retarv Long. Tho dispatch con- j laincd this simple statement: 'Captain Gridlev died to-day. Remains accompany me on Coptic." Captain Vernon (trolley is the first otlicer of great prominence whose dc.ith is a direct result <1f the existing war with Spain. As t he commander of Admiral Dew-| cy's splendid flagship, and one of h tin? admiral's chief advisers, Cap tain Gridlev achieved distinction o nt the battle of Manila Bay, and j s added to his previous laurels by I winning high praise from his^s superiors in the service for dis- > tingnished gallantry and ability, j ? He fought his ship from the con- > ning tower, while Admiral Dewey I directed the movements of his n squadron from the bridge of the I ( vessel. It was not known for I several weeks after the engago- It inent that Captain Gridley had : t suffered from it, and even now (li the precise nature of his trouble ! e is not disclosed. \ No-To-B?c for Fifty Cent*.
