GEN. HASKELL DEAD.
ApoplcNy Claims the Hero of FL
Cnney,


Columbus, Ohio, Sept. Is. - Brig.
Gen. Joseph r. Haskell died suddenly
at his home at the Columbus post
yesterday afternoon. He was stricken
with apopleXy, the excitement which
he had passed during the day being
the immediate cause of the attack.
Gen. Haskell commanded the Seven
teenth infantry at the battle of FL
Caney and was twice wounded in the
left shoulder and knee. He came
home about month ago, and was
rapidly recovering. The wound in the
shoulder however, had paralyZed his
left arm, which he carried in sling.
Yesterday morning the Seventeenth
regiment returned home. and Gen.
Haskell went TO the depot in ear
rage to welcome his gallant men. He
rode at the head of the regiment
through the city TO the post, and the
cheers of the immense crowds of peo-
pie that lined the streets were directed
almost as much TO him individually as
10 the regiment. At the reviewing
stand the crowd surrounded the car
riage and flowers were fairly show
cred into the vehicle from every side.
Although not as strong as formerly,
Gen. Haskell appeared rugged, and
his sudden death was terrible shock
10 his family and friends.

cult Mr.. Davis is a very pleasant and
interesting gentleman. Especially the
latter, from the fact that he was in Ha-

Maine was blown up. He was on the deck
Of the City of Washington, and saw the
huge warshfp lifted and rent asunder
by the Spanish torpedo. He tells of its
following horrors in a vivid manner.
Speaking OF newspaper men, he said that
Sylvester Scovel, now under arrest for
Shaping General Shafter was much
criticized by Americans in Havana for
the sensational report he sent out before
ever seeing the wreck Of the Maine. He
described Scovel as a daredevil sort Of
fellow, who hesitated at nothing, was
generally on the wrong side, and who
loved notoriety.
Mr.. Davis forsaw the present war, and
left Havana for Vera Cruz. Since then
he has been TO San Francisco, Seattle,
