WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Admiral Da-
vid D. Porter died suddenly at his resi-
dence here to-day.
Death resulted from fatty degenera-
ton of the heart, which relentless dis
ease asserted it's fatal clutch upon him
at Newport, R. L., last summer, when
contrary to the persistent advice OF his
physician he overtaxed his strength by
taking violent exercise, aud was stricll-
en- down with a complication of diseases
including congestion of the lungs and
dropsy.
AS soon as he could be moved with
safety he was brought to his home in
Washington, and all means known to
science and medicine were resorted to
for his benefit. Despite them, however,
there were slight but unmistakable
symptoms of approaching dissolution.
David Dixon Porter was born at Ches-
ter, Delaware county, Pa, June s, 1913,
studied in Columbia college, Washing
ton, in 1924; accompanied his father,
Commodore David Porter in the John
Adams to suppress piracy in the West
Indies; was appointed midshipman in
the Mexican navy and served under his
cousin, Capt. David II. Porter, in the
Guerro, which sailed from Vera Cruz in
1927. Porter was appointed midship-
man in the United States navy in 1929
and lieutenant in 1841. In 1845 he was
! appointed to the naval observatory at
Washington. He served during the
Mexican war and was engaged in every
! action on the coast. He then went to
California and commanded California
mail steamers between San Francisco
and Panama.
At the beginning of the civil war he
commanded the steam frigate Powha-
tan at Pensacola. On April 20, 1861, he
was appointed commander and was
placed in command of the mortar fleet,
assisting Farragut in the bombardment
of Forts Jackson and St. Phillip below
New Orleans, also at New Orleans and
Vicksburg. He became acting rear adj
miral in September, 1862, and rear
admiral in 1868.
In command of the Atlantic squadron
in 1864 he took part in the bombardment

Fear river. Porter received the thanks
of congress for his service. He was
made vice admiral in 1866, and on Aug
Is, 1870, was promoted to the rank Of
admiral of the navy, which position he
has held continuously ever since.
