The Heroes Of Manila.

a washington hpeclhl says Lleu-
tenant Tom Rrumby died Sunday even
ing at 5:45. The end came peacefully, |
the sick man dropping off as il to sleep.
All day he had grown gradually and
perceptibly weaker. Early Sunday
morning the doctors announced that
they had been compelled to give up all
hope for recovery.
Lieutenant Brumby's sister, Mrs
Hayward, who had been the faithful
watcher by his bedside during all the
long days Of his desperate illness,
was with him at the'time of his death.
He had been uncOnHciousufOr many
hours until Sunday morning, when he
was able to talk with his sister for
few minutes, making brief replies to
her questions.
THE CAUSE OF DEATH.
The immediate cause of the death
was blood poisoning that came from
the glandular swelling which was one
of the complications with the typhoid.
The swelling was in the left side of
the face and neck The operation per-
formed several nights ago seemed to
give relief, but the tissue of the paro-
It'd gland was destroyed and there were
internal troubles. DR.. Osler, the Bal
timore specialist, stated to Admiral
Dewey, who had been daily caller at
the hospital, that in all his experince
he had never seen similar complica-
tions.
The physicians refused to give up
all hope until the patient was seen to
be growing weaker. The fever symp-
toms did not indicate change for the
worse, but the general condition was
less favorable. During Sunday the
fever ran high at times, and as the
patient could retain nothing in !he
way of nourishment, the doctors pro-
nounced the end only a question of
few hours at most. There was no
surprise, therefore, when Lieutenant
Brumby dropped off into the long
sleep that knows no waking.
Admiral Dewey has been a daily
I caller at the hospital during Brumby's
illness and expressed the deepest per-
sonal interest in his case. Mrs. Dewey
has also call several times. The res
ident officer of navy and officials of the
navy department have been constant
in their attentions,
The leutenant's present illness dated
from the 9th of November, the first
symptom being nothing more than q
cold, which, however, failed to yield
to treatment and soon afterwards he
went to tho Garfield hospital, where
he died.
GREAT SHOCK TO DEWEY,
The death of Lieutenant Brumby,
while not unexpected, was great
shock to Admiral Dewey. The rela-
tions of the two men for several years
past have been very intimate, and q
strong friendship had grown up be-
tween them.
Lieutenant Brumby went out to the
Asiatic station with the admiral, and
had been with him until they both re.
turned to the United States several
months ago. In his capacity as flag
lieutenant to the admiral, Lieutenant
Brumby was thrown with his CHIEF
practically all the time, and acted as
his personal representative in many
matters of detail delegated to him bJ
the commanding officer. He was re
garded by Admiral Dewey as a bright
energetic and capable assistant, jwhTlt
the devotion of the latter to the ad
miraI was something marvellous, TIL
burden of his thought during the lat
ter days of his illness, when his mine
was wrecked with delirium, seemed t.
be regarding his work for the admiral
Admiral Dewey was unremiting j
his attendance to him until his condi
ton became precarious, and visitor
were not allowed to see him. Mrs
W. L. Hayward, of Marietta, Ga.
| his sister, was summoned, and late
she was joined by her husband, bot
remaining with the lieutenant until h
