NEWPORT. r. L. Sept. 12.-The news OF the
death OF Cornelius Vanderbilt in New York
this morning was a shock to this city and
spread gloom over the social life. With his
wife Mr.. Vanderbilt left for New York yester-
day for only a short visit. and was to give
large entertainment at THE Breakers" the
latter part OF the week in honor OF
Prince Cantacuzene. The health OF Mr..
Vanderbilt had SO much improved this
summer that It was hoped that complete res
toratlon might follow. he has been promi-
nept in society matters this summer. giving
several large entertainments in honor OF his
son Alfred. who Is now going around the world
He had been seen daily on the avenue and at
social entertainments. He has presided at all
the meetings OF the Casino governors. His
death will be especially regretted by the cti-
zens OF Newport. for he has ever been kindly
associated with them and their local insttu-
tons
The old Breakers" which was burned on
Nov, 20 1892. was built by Mr. Pierre Lorillard
in 1878. and was then one OF tho largest and
most costly houses in Newport. In 1879 Mr..
Lorard added to the land by further pur-
chases. In 1886 Mr.. Vanderbilt bought the

Gen. LudlOw's Circular Advising Those in
Havana to study the Language.


Gen. Ludlow has suggested to the American
officers In the Department Of Havana the adj
visibility Of learning Spanish. He has issued
the following circular
1T is expected that all officers stationed in
the Department OF Havana will take advantage
OF the favorable opportunity offered Thorn to
gain a fam liar acquaintance with the Spanish
language. 1t is likely that II knowledge OF
Spanish. whether in Cuba or elsewhere. will be
hereafter required as part OF the equipment OF
all military officers and. In any case. facility in
communicating in Spanish. either by speech
or writing. will constitute an important addi-
tion to ali officers value to the service. for
which reason it Is his duty to acquire It.
1T is therefore enjoined upon all officers to
take means to pursue the study OF the LAM
Ruaee as diligently as their other ofIicial du-
ties will permit. with the view OF acquiring. as
soon as practicable. a fluent and accurate use
OF the language. For this purpose. officers at
given station may club together and prosecute
their studies. either singly or In common. as
shall be most convenient and advantageous to
them. Two or three hours a day Of conscien-
tious application and diligent study will. in
course OF a few months. enable an officer TO
communicate readily with Spanish speaking
peoples.

Vanderbilt was suffering from stroke OF

the latest news OF his condition. and sincerely
praying for his recovery. There were track
