NESS AT AGE OF 79. ( Washington. Jan 16:?Admiral if Dewey, the nation's Spanish war 1 hero and by priority of grade the . ranking naval officer of the world, s died at his home here to night in his ^ 80th year. He had not been con-, j scious since yesterday, when he c I 2 lapsed into coma, still believing that r in a few days he would be back at ( his desk in the navy department. i f A general breakdown, accompani- j j ed by arterio sclerosis incident to old age, was the cause of death, j j The disease had been gradually,^ spreading its hold upon his power- t ful body for a year and a half, but ' the admiral, proud of his physical , vigor, had fought it off tond even j kept its existence a secret from most | of his intimate friends. LastWednes- j day he was at his office apparently ( hale and hearty. The next day he < collapsed as he was preparing to ] leave the house and the beginning of ( the end was at hand. , Mrs Dewey and the admiral's only , son, George Dewey, Jr, were at the bedside tonight. They had known ij since yesterday there was no hope. j( When news of the admiral's death |, was received at the White House Fiesident Wilson authorized the fol-1, lowing statement: \ "In expressing his grief at the death of Admiral Dewey, the Presi-1 death said the whole nation will mourn the loss of its most distinguished naval officer, a man who has | been as faithful, as intelligent and as successful in the performance of' his responsible duties in time of1 peace as he was gallant and success-! ful in time of war. It is just such men that give the service distinction j and the nation a just pride in those; who serve it." !
