Washington, May Rear Admiral
William T. Sampson, retired, died at
his home in this city at o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The immediate
cause of death was a severe cerebral
hemorrhage. He had been in a semi
conscious state for several days and
yesterday afternoon suffered a severe
cerebral hemorrhage.
AT the bedside when the admiral
breathed his last were Mrs. Sampson,
Mrs. Lieutenant Cluyerius, the admi-
rails married daughter; Admiral Samp-
sons two young sons, Ralph and Har-
old Sampson; Dr. Dixon, the attend
ing physician. and nurses and attend
ants.
Mrs. Sampson has broken down un-
der the severe strain and was quite i'll
all during the day. But for the criti-
cal condition of the admiral she would
have been confined to her bed.
The arrangements for the funeral of
Admiral Sampson will not be complet-
ed until today. 1t has been suggest
ed to Mrs. Sampson that the naval
cemetery at Annapolis would be a
proper place for the last resting place
of the remains, while other friends
have represented to her that he should
be buried in Arlington cemetery, near
this city. Admiral Sampson resided
in Annapolis eight years during four
years of which he was superintendent
of the academy there. Mrs. Sampson
prefers Annapolis.
Mrs. Sampson suffered a slight acci.
dent few days ago while attending
to the wants of the admiral and has
been in bed since. She probably will
