MAJOR GENERAL DIMOND
Yields Obedience to Orders of the Grea
Commander
Death of One Of the Best Known Citizens of
California at the Gilsey House
in New York City
NEW YORK, June 18.-General W. NJ.
Dimond of the California national guard.
died at the Gilsey house today.

(Gen. Dimond was one of the best
known men on the Pacific coast. He
was born in Hawaii, but removed to
San rancisco when a young man, and
has since been prominently identified
with the commercial progress of that
city. Gen. Dimond early developed
great interest in military matters, and
has always taken an active part in the
development of the national guard. He
has for several years been major-gen-
eral of the guard, and was in command
of the state troops at Sacramento during
the labor troubles two years ago. He
was severely criticized for his manage
ment of the campaign at that city, and
seriously contemplated resigning, but
afterwards reconsidered his determina-
ton and remained. When Gov. Budd
was elected he was continued as major
general and held that position at the
time of his death.
Gen. Dimond was managing partner
Of the shipping firm of Williams, Di-
mond & Co. of San Francisco. He had
also been president of the chamber Of
commerce and board of trade of that
city, besides being connected with most
If the prominent political and social
clubs. The general left four children,
.wo sons and two daughters, all of whom
ere married, except the younger so.,,
who was with his father at the time of
his death. For some time past it has
been known that Gen. Dimonds health
was rather precarious, and several
weeks ago he got his affairs in order
and started for European tour in
search of health. He had delayed too
long and was taken i'll at New York.
where he was confined to his bed until
death ended his sufferings)
