PREMoNIT1oN OF DANGER.
Ensign Bagley's Death at Cardenas
 Not Entirely Unexpected.

Key West, May 17.-A premonition of danger, if not death, is now known to have haunted Ensign Bagley, who was killed at the Cardenas lombard nent-
 He felt something would happen to him and spoke of it. adding that hls greatest hope was that the impending mishap should not take him out of the fight.
 Ensign Bagley was the fifth torpedo boat officer with a surname beglnnlns with "B" to meet disaster, and it was on this fact that his superstition was based.
 The remains of Ensign Bagley were sent to Jacksonville to his brother there, from which point they will be taken to his home in Raleigh, N. c.
 Brief funeral services were held at St. Paul's Episcopal church, Rev. Dr. Gilbert Riggs officiating. A number of officers, with a guard of marines and sailors from many ships, escorted the body to the church. The stars and stripes and numerous floral of ferings covered the eof1n. The casket was borne by six sailors, immediately followed by the pail bearers, selected from among Ensign Bagley's personal friends. Then came fifteen survivors of the torpedo boat Winslow, who showed much emotion a. they gazed upon the dead officer.
 Most of the fleet officers attended the services and marched to the wharf. A salute was given when the body was placed on the steamer Mas eOtte.

seemed to be in unusually good spirits.
This morning Mr.. Knowlton was
called at the usual time for breakfast,
but made no response. His valet then
went to the room and found Mr..

ing manner. He had a large circle of
business acquaintance all over the
country.

who married Count Sierstorppff Of Ger
many, and since her marrige has re-
sided in Germany. Mr.. Knowlton re-
