The Noted Author and Humanitarian
Victim Of Consumption.
Springfield. Mass, May 23.-Edward
Bellamy. author and humanitarian,
died early yesterday morning at his
home in Chickopee Falls, in the 4Sth
year of his age. Mr.. Bellamy has been
in feeble health ever since he finished
his Equality" some eight months ago.
Indeed, long before 1t was done he had
the most significant warnings that his
vital energies were being Undermined,
although 1t was not till August that
his physicians definitely told him that
one Of his lungs was affected. At the
earnest solicitations Of his physicians
and family he resolved to try the effect
of the Colorado climate, and early In
September last removed with his fam
lily to Denver. He received, however,
little or no benefit from the change,
and since January has been rapidly
failing. When he recognized that re-
covery was impossible he became very
anxious to get back to his old family
homestead, and returned last April
Among his many published works
Looking Backward" gave him his
greatest fame. 1t has been translated
into German, French, Russian, Italian
Arabic. Bulgarian and several other
languages. and nearly million copies
have been sold.

THE TROOPS FOR DEWEY
Trouble in Securing Transports to
Garry Them to Manila. :
AN ENTIRE FLEET NOW OFFERED.

They Now Carry the British Flag, and
Must Be Given American Register
IF Accepted-The First Manila Ex-
pedition May Leave at Any Hour.
Washington. May A.-Much comment
and some criticism have been caused
by the delay in forwarding troops to
the Philippine Islands to support Ad-
miral Dewey. Both the comment and
the criticism had their origin in the
desire for the people that the fruits Of
Dewey's brilliant victory at Manila
should not be endangered by any lack
Of assistance from either the navy or
war departments.
1t is known now, however, that
troops would have been sent to Manila
before this had 1t been possible for the
war department to secure transports
on the Pacific coast. The utmost diff
ficulty Is being experienced by the de-
partment in obtaining such transports
The coastwise trade on the Pacific Is
not large as compared with that on the
Atlantic, and q majority Of the vessels
engaged In the trade are OF foreign
register. OF course ships flying q for
eign flag cannot be used as transports
by the government, as such use would
constitute a violation Of the neutrality
laws Of the nation whose flag the ship
bore.
The war department is now negotia-
ting by telegraph with the Pacific Mail
Steamship company for the charter Of
two Of the company's vessels. the China
and the Colon. The Colon flies Ameri-
can colors, but the China is under the
Hawaiian flag. The difference between
the war department and the steamship
company is now one Of price. Whether
satisfactory terms will be agreed upon
remains in doubt.
Last night Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john received telegraphic offer from
the agent Of the Northern Pacific
Steamship company at Seattle placing
at the disposal Of the department the
company's entire fleet Of steamers pro-
vided they be given American register.
The ships are the Tacoma, Arizona,
Olympia. Columbia, Victoria and Ar
gylI. All are British built vessels and
fly the British flag.
Commenting upon the situation which
confronts the department Secretary
MeikeIjohn said:
IF we cannot get vessels at what we
consider fair prices. we shall be forced
to impress such as we may need into
the service and leave the prices to be
adjusted subsequently by board ap-
pointed for the purpose. We shall have
simply to ask congress to give Ameri-
can register to vessels that we can OBJ
tain. There is no other way out Of the
difficulty"
The likelihood is that the war de-
partment will order such vessels Of the
Northern Pacific Steamship company
as may be needed to San Francisco,
and then ask congress to give them
an American register In order that they
may Npromptly convey the waiting
troops to Manila. 1t Is the desire Of
the department that the troops follow
ing those to be sent to the Philippines
on Saturday next shall go not later
than Wednesday, June 1. 1t Is impera-
lively necessary that they be gotten to
Manila as soon as possible, but in order
that they may go at all 1t will be quite
necessary that some foreign ships be
given American register.
