Cadet Sweet of the Navy
Denies a Report of
His Death.
U. S. F. S. PHILADELPHIA.


To the Editor of the San FranciscS
Call-Sr: In some of the Sydney papers
ali account of the death of Cadet G. c.
Sweet was published. 1t was copied in
some of the American papers, stating that
he was killed in the battle of FagaIlf, near
Apia Samoa Would you please be kind
enough to publish a denial of the report?
The only officers lost in that battle were
Lieutenant Lansdale, L. S. N. Ensign
Monaghan, U. S. N, and Lieutenant Com
mander Freeman, R n.
The bodies of Lieutenant Lansdale and
Ensign Monaghan are now on this ship,
being brought to San Francisco for
burial
The report of my death was a mistake
III setting up, the reporter Of the paper
having written that cadet Sweet was
the only American officer left at the main
guard at Samoa when his two superior
officers were killed. 1t was construed
into, cadet Sweet was the only American
officer left by the main guard in Samoa"
Please rectify this if possible The
