The sad death of Lieutenant Brumby
must come like the loss of a son tC
Admiral Dewey, and the whole coun-
try joins him in mourning the untime-
ly end of a brave officer and a true
gentleman. His post of duty through
those long months at Manila was evel
at the admiral's side, and only the ad-
miral himself knows how much he
owes to his faithful lieutenant. 1t was
his hand which pulled down the Span
ish flag when Manila was captured, and
raised in its place the flag that will
never be hauled down. He was a ma
tive of Georgia, the son of 4 Confeder-
ate colonel and his great sacrifice for
love of his reunited country is another
of the many proofs, recently given, that
there is no North or South when the
old flag needs defenders.
