CAPT. SHEPARD DYING
Critical Illness of the Chief of the Revenue
Gutter Service.
Not Expected to Live Through the
Day-Sketch of His
Career.

Capt. L. G. Shepard. chief Of the revenue
cutter division of the Treasury Depart
ment, is dying at his residence, No. 1907
18th street, and his physicians have in
formed his family that he cannot survive
the day. Capt. Shepard was stricken down
with congestive chill while sitting at his
desk in the department Tuesday, the 9TH
instant. and has been confined to his bed
ever since. His illness is attributed to his
efforts to secure the passage Of the bill for
the benefit of the superannuated omcers
of the service. He worked early and late
in the interests of that measure during the
closing hours of Con sre.ss ana remained at
the Capitol the entire night session of the
Senate on the I'd instant. 1t is supposed
that he caught cold going nome at J O'Clock
Sunday morning. his system being too over
strained to stand the exposure CT the chill
night air after having spent many hours
in the dry heated atmosphere OF the Capt.
toll building.
He endeavored to pursue his official duties
a. usual, but was Obliged to give up on
the following Tuesday. All his early
symptoms were those of the grip. accom-
panied by nervous prostration. His condi-
ton resisted treatment and he was finally
attacked with pneumonia, which has OBJ
tanned such Roadway that all hope of his
recovery is abandoned. His wife and two
children are with him, and what adds to
the sadness of the case is that one of the
children is also dangerously i'll with pneu-
monia.
His Career.
Captain Shepard is one of the oldest and
most efficient officers in the revenue cutter
service. He is u native of Massachusetts,,
and was appointed third lieutenant in
the revenue service September Is. 1865. He
was promoted second lieutenant March
20, 1859. a first lieutenant July %. 1870. and
a captain March IA. 1878. In December,
1889. Secretary Window detailed him as
chief of the revenue marine division, an
office previously held only by civilians.
and he has served there continuously ever
since.
He has seen much hard active service
and has an exceptionally fine record. Prior
to his transfer to Washington he command
ed the revenue cutter Bear. and made sew
elal valuable cruises in Boring sea and
northern Alaskan waters. He studied seal
ing industry. and is regarded as an au-
thority on that subject He has many
friends in all parts of the country. and is
Mighty esteemed by all his associates in
the Treasury Department, superiors as
well as subordinates.

MURAGUA STILL IN IGNORANCE,
He Has Not Learned What Spanish
Vessel Fired the Shot.

he mas Not Learned what Spanish
Vessel Fired the Shot.
Senior Muragua. the Spanish minister.
had not. up to pm. today, received word
from Cuba as to the gunboat which fired
on the American ship, nor does he Know
the name of the warship. The delay is due
to the fact that the gunboat is cruising off
the eastern coast of Cuba, 400 miles from
Havana.
The minister pronounces absolutely false
the publication today in New York that he
had received private information of the FIR
ing on the Alliance a day in advance of the
ship at New York.
The first information on the subject re-
ceived at the Spanish legation, Minister
MuragIa said, was contained in an AS
ISOLATED Press Dispatch taken there at 2
pm. Tuesday. Senior Muragua says he
had no previous information and desires to
check these imaginative stories in order
that the seriousness Of the affair may not
be exaggerated.
