A general breakdown, accompanied by artcrlo Heterosis incident to old age, was the cause of death. The disease had been gradually spruuding its hold upon his powerful body for a year and a half, bid the admiral, proud of his physical vigor, hud fought it ofl' and even kept Its existence a secret from most of his intimate friends. i.ast Wednesday he was at his olllee ap parently hale and hearty.

I 'pon Ids triumphant return to the rutted States he was feted by the nation. His admirers presented him w 1 1 h a beautiful home In the national capital. Congress nave him an en graved sword, and raised him from the rank of commodore to rear ad miral and then* to the full rank of the admiral of the navy. Admiral Dewey was the third Amer ican to reach that pinnacle of naval rank. Farragut was the tlrst and Porter the second- It was under Far ragut that Dewey received hi* tlrst baptism In war. "Valuable as the training of Anna polls was. it was p?>or schooling be side that of serving under Farragut in time nf war/' Admiral Dewey once said. "Whatever I have been In a difficult situation or in the midst of such a confusion of details that the simple and right thing to d<> seemed hazy I have often asked himself, 'what would Farragut do?" In the cniirsi' of preparations for Manila b a \ . I .oft '-n asked myself this ques tion. and I confess 1 was tliinking of him the flrsf night we entered the bay and with the conviction that I was doing precisely what he would have done." ilcoige Dewe.\ was born in the shad ow of Vermont's Slate eapitol at Miini | 'elier. on the dav following ? li i i -i mas in 1 s;;7 .\l the a^'c of 17 l.e le.ichcd llie crossroads of his ca reer one road led l<> West Point, the oilier ti> Annapolis Young Dewey fa . ? >1 1 <1 l lie former, but There m n> no' vacancy for West l'oint tioin \ ' ? ? 1 1 1 1 ? ? 1 1 1 // explained the .<itniir.il in review ing bis life.

Shortly after his return from Ma nila hay. Admiral Dewey found I himself in the fit'o of popular erltl-J 1 iIhjii over the "gift house inciileilt". ! American citizen* had raised $50,000 ' b> public Hiibserlpflon as a lost linoiilal l to I lie hero of Manila and they pre , sealed him with a house In Washington. Dewey, who had been a whlower since I S7'J. had Just married Mrs. Mildred McLean Ma/en of Washington and he turned over the gift house to her. Shortly afterward the admiral and Mrs. Dewey left the gift house and "lied in the wife's former home. In JJMXi Admiral Dewey was serious ly talked of as a candidate for the Republican nomination as president, but the admiral preferred to remain In the naval ranks rather than to such a venture in statesmanship. His ad mirers have since often s|*>keu of him as the man who could have been a president If he had wished. Karly In 11)14 Admiral Dewey again became eonsplelous in the current news by revival of the long standing contro versy with Admiral von Dledorlchs of the German squadron during the block ade of Manila buy, US years before. In his auto-biography. Admiral Dewey criticised the neutrality laws and told how a shot was tired across the bows of one of the German shl|?H to Imprest* it with the fact that the American navy had established a blockade and would countennce no undue activity on the purt of the German shli>s, suspect- ; ed at the time as friendly to Spain. "A difference of opinion about Inter national law had been adjusted," said Dewey, "without adding to the sum of President McKinley's worries." Dewey was always u student of his tory ; he knew every naval caui]>algn that had ever l>eoii waged from the days of ancient Greece and ltome, had analyzed them and knew why defeat or victory had come from certain move ments and this without doubt was one! of the factors that contributed to his own success In warfare. One of the linest estimates of Ad miral Dewey's character is contain ed in a tribute rendered to him by his old time shipmate. Admiral Sampson, who was lighting the Spaniards in the Currihcnn while Dewey, was lying In Manila bay. resting on the laurels he had won in the. famous battle, of the lirst ?d* May. Sampson said : "The service knows Dewey as an ideal head of a fleet. Perfectly cou rageous, of thoroughly balanced judge ment. and quick of decision, he has the | qualities which carry cue to fame If opjiort unity be given. The man and , the hour fortunately came together and the country i> richer in another bril liant page of history and .another he roic figure. Ills career has given a loftly impetus to the young which will bear fruit in nobler aspirat ion*. He ha- become one of the most valued Ijowossioiis which a nation can have ? a rational hero."
