Navy Department.
 Washington. May &, 1902.


 The department with deep regret an- nounces to the service the death of Rear Admiral William T. Sampson.
 Rear Admiral Sampson entered the service September 24, 1857, as an acting midshipman, and graduated first in his class on June 1, 1861. From that time he served with fidelity and gallantry in the civil war until it's end. In the thirty-three years which followed, happily years of peace, he devoted to the country without sparing, brilliant intellect. cultivated by learning, direct ed by industry, and inspired by patriot ism. As teacher, administrator, organ izer and commander, at sea and on shore, he so conducted himself in the years that by the common consent or his professional brethren he won place in the front rank of those by whose efforts our naval establishment was adapted to modern conditions and made fit and instantly ready for the work for which it was designed. These years of patient, undemittng toll, al- most unnoticed as they passed, found their reward when the time of trial came and are sure foundation of his endurlnE 1dUlt, Dy IiiC uliiNNi nebi Noi"N of his associates he was marked as one of those upon whom the responsibilities of high command rest safely. That command became his in the war with Spain. The part which he played there is now in the keeping of history. After the close of that war the late com-' mander-in- chief of the army and navy of the United States, President McKin- lev. in a letter to Rear Admiral Samp- son, said:
 "Iet me assure you that I have the highest appreciation of your service as conomander-in- chief of the Atlantic naval forces during the Spanish war, in blockading Cuba, cooperating with the army directing the movements of the great number of vessels under your orders, and at last, after the most ef- fective preparations, consummating with the gallant officers and men under your command, the destruction of the Spanish fleet"
 The service needs not to be reminded of those personal qualities which won the respect and affection of his compan- ions in arms, from whose lips come abundant testimony at this hour. This record of life long devotion to duty with it's fruitage of splendid achievements renders his name illus trious in the annals of the navy, and places it high on the roll of those who have deserved well of the republic. As a mark of respect to his memory flags of the navy yards and stations and vessels in commission will be dis played at half mast from sunrise to sunset and thirteen guns will be fired at noon from the navy yards and sta- tions on the day after the receipt of this order.
 (Signed) William H. Moody, Secretary.
