| NEWBURY, N. H., July John
Hay, Secretary of State, died today at
his summer home, 1.-THE Fells," on the
shore of Lake Sunapee. The hour OF
| his passing was 1925 o'clock this morn
ing. The last moments Of the states
man were peaceable and the end came
almost without a struggle.
The suddenness of it all was stag
gering. At the hour of II all was quiet.
In another moment nurses and physi-
clans found themselves summoned to
the bedside. There had been a. COL
lapse. Twenty-Five minutes later all
was over. So swift had the end come
that the dying man passed away un-
attended by all the members of his
family save his wife.
The Secretary yesterday passed the
most comfortable day since his illness
began week ago. He was to sit up
today. The patient had hidden his wife
and physicians good night at 10 o'clock
last night. An hour later he was
sleeping quietly. Almost at the stroke
of II the Secretary was seized with
turn. He called feebly and a nurse
responded. The sick man was breath
ing with great difficulty. DR.. Scudder
was speedily summoned and il required
but a glance for him to determine that
the end was but minutes away The
household was aroused. The wife reach
ed her husband as he was breathing
his last. The son, Clarence Hay, and
the daughter, Mrs. James A Wads-
worth, of Geneseo. y. Y, hurried into
the sick room, but they We're too late
The patient did not suffer greatly In
his last moments. Aside from great
difficulty in breathing there was no
struggle. The Secretary lapsed into
unconsciousness and seemed to fall
asleep at last. The CONSERVATION of the
household was complete and it remain
ed for DR.. Scudder to assume charge
of affairs. After two hours the physi-
clan was driven to the village where
half a dozen kilograms were sent. The
first went to President Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay. The second was addressed

Manila, P. L, June 6, 1905.

MAMMA, L . L., OuhO W A0oc'
Editor Advertiser: After many
weary weeks of rumors and counter
rumors in regard to the Baltic Fleet,
after we had read the reports Of the
victorious japanese Admiral Togo-to
whom all praise be given-of the
great victory and utter collapse Of the
Russian power on the sea, we have to
thank the Russians themselves for Civ
ing US Mandates the first real glimpse
OF the Russo-Japanese war; and, being
on the ground floor, I thought perhaps
you and some of my other friends in
Honolulu would like to get few par
ticulars of just how the Japanese do
things, though no doubt you have
heard ere this, by cable, Of the sudden
arrival here in Manila bay, on Satur-
day night, of three crippled Russian
cruisers, who had escaped and fed
slaught of the ever victorious Japs.
IT'S putting it rather mildly, when 1
say that we were all greatly excited
on Saturday night to learn of the ar
rival of the three cruisers. Here we
had at first hand some of the actual
combatants in the great struggle up
north; and early on Sunday morning
the docks were crowded with eager
and curious crowds, patiently await
ing their turn on many OF the
launches (Which, by the way, did
land office b',siness), to take them out
to visit the cruisers. or, l should
rather say. to let them see the cruisers
at distance, as no one was allowed
to board them. But in this respect L
was very fortunate, as, in company
with Mr.. Sellner, the proprietor
and publisher of the Manila Times,
We ran across Mr.. Jennings, the
well known photographer here, who
was on his way to take some
official pictures of the three cruisers,
he having received instructions from
the Russian Admiral Enquist to take
pictures showing the great damage
done to his vessels, and in support OF
his statement as to his reason for COM
ing to Manila for repairs.
Mr.. Jennings being an old friend,
persuaded him to let me accompany
MIN as his assistant, so that L could
go aboard the cruisers and get some
good data for story.
i. We boarded the Oleg, which received
the most severe punishment of the
three vessels, her sides being full of
gaping holes, where the shells of the

THE PRESIDENT SHOCKED

OYSTER BAY, L. l., July 1.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was shocked and
grieved inexpressibly at the death of
Secretary of State John Hay. The news
was conveyed to him early this morn
ing by a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press. The President received
the informa ton as almost inconceiva-
BILE, as the last word he had received
was that the Secretary was improving
rapidly and was quite out of danger.
When the President was in Cam
bridge, Mass, on Wednesday, he had a
consultation with DR. Jackson Of Bos-
ton, who had been summoned to the
bedside of Secretary Hay at the in
cipiency of his illness. Assurances
were given by DR.. Jackson that while
man. he then was evidently on the road
TO recovery. DR.. Jackson said that the
consulting physicians agreed with him
in the expression of this opinion.
President Roosevelt. since Secretary
Hay went abroad in the spring thought
he might not be able again actively to
resume his onerous duties and respon-
sibilities as Secretary of State, but
when Mr.. Hay returned to Washington
his condition was so greatly improved
that both he and the President hoped
that with a summers rest at Lake
Sunapee he might be able for time
at least to continue the direction of
the State Department.
The death Of Secretary Hay, so en-
tirelv unexpected. came as a personal
bereavement to the President. With

of the family. Dr. Scudder returned
to The Fells. At o'clock this morn
ing the house was closed and it was
announced that no one could be seen
until after 9 o'clock this morning.
The bulletin announcing the death
read as follows:
Secretary of State John Hay died
at 1925 this morning. The signs i'm
mediately preceding death were those
of pulmonary embolism. Mr.. Hays
condition during all of Friday had been
entirely satisfactory.

results. The other two vessels, tht
flagship Aurora and the Zemtchue
were not so badly damaged, conse
quently they did Lot excite so much
curiosity as the Oleg.
On arrival at the vessels boarding
ladder, we were courteously received
by the deck lieutenant of the Oleg,
who, after explaining to Mr.. Jennings
and his assistant the nature of the
pictures they required, kindly took us
over the whole vessel, giving us many
little bits of info. nation that could
not be gained from any other source.
HOW THE ATTACK CAME.
He told us how on the fateful morn
ing of May II, as the Russian fleet was
proceeding to its destination (Vladi-
vostock )-the formation of the Rus
sian fleet being: all the heavy fighting
vessels to the right and the lighter
ones to the left, as they approached
Tenshima Island. the golfers, hospi-
tai and supply ships grouped in the
center as n-combatants-the Japan
ese squadron suddenly appeared on the
scene without any warning, and form
ed flying wedge which pierced the
Russian lines, so that the Russian YES
sells were unable 10 use any of their
guns for fear of damaging their own
ships. As result, confusion reigned
supreme in the Russian ranks, which
soon became a panic-stricken flight,
when the japanese torpedo boats, to
the number of some 90 odd, began to
get in their deadly work, and vessel
after vessel of the once proud Baltic
fleet. on which all Russian honor was
staked. began to settle and founder
with all aboard.
Twas then, he said, case of "every
man for himself,'' and Admiral En-
quist being the only Russian admiral
who was not killed or captured, he fed
with his badly shattered vessels to the
nearest neutral port for much needed
repairs. And right here let me say,
that it is miracle that the Oleg ever
survived the trip. With gaping horrl-
BILE holes here, there and everywhere,
some of them almost on the water line,

seas.
The submarines and torpedoes did
the most deadly work, according to
the Russian officers, though the heavy
guns of the japanese certainly did
their share of destruction.
The Oleg had ten-inch shell pierce
her sides and go right through the
hospital, though fortunately no patients
were in at the time, and later, when

MA|NLkNDERS ASK FOR
FURNISHED COTTAGES

The Promotion Committee yesterday
received four inquiries from the MAIN
land as to the possibility of procuring
furnished cottages in Honolulu for pc
riods ranging from four months to a
year. A Los Angeles family asked the
secretary to be on the outlook for such
cottage to be rented for one year.
The beautiful winter which Honolulu
has experienced has undoubtedly
aroused considerable interest in the

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
Washington, February /, 1905.
The Honorable, the Secretary of the
Interior
Sir: On December II, 1899, the Pres
ident submitted for your consideration
letter from the Secretary of War
suggesting the reservation, for military
purposes, OF certain tracts of land at
Honolulu, Hawaii, among which is
enumerated all that lot of land desig-
mated as 1.-The barracks lot, as shown
on the Hawa Ian Government surveys,
registered map No. y37.' Subsequent
ly, upon your reporting that in your
judgment these lands being public lands
could be set aside for military purposes,
they were so set aside by Executive
order.
1t is desirable that the military
spirit in the Islands be fostered and en-
couraged, and to that end that a per
manent militia of considerable numbers
should be instituted and maintained.
To do this and to interest and encour-
age the men in militia work it is nee
essary that there should be proper
quarters provided, suitable grounds for
drilling, etc. This tract of land, known
as the barracks lot, which is reserved
for military purposes is the only tract
in Honolulu that is in any way suitable
for militia purposes, and as a large
quantity of land throughout the Is
lands has been reserved for the use of
the War Department and it is not be-
ieved that this particular tract is alb
sOlutely necessary to the uses of that
department, ] have the honor to bring
the matter to your attention and to
suggest the advisability of the return
ing of this tract of land to it's former
state, so that it can be used for strict
y Territorial purposes, and this result
,an be accomplished by the revocation

aside.
If consistent and practicable, there
fore, l have to suggest the bringing of
his matter to the attention of the Hon
orable Secretary of War, who is now
practically the custodian of said land.

Secretary of Hawaii.

be returned to its original condition as

To Regulate Railroad Rates.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The repub-
licans OF the house of representatives.,
in conference this afternoon, adopted
as a party measure the bill extending
rate making powers to the interstate
commerce commission as agreed on by
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce, and known as the
Esch.Townsend bill.
No amendments will be allowed to
the bill, although the first vote is to
be taken on the Davey bill, as the
democratic substitute for legislation
on the railway rate subject. The con-
ference, which lasted three hours de.
veloped opposition to the measure.
The only test vote taken was a motion
to postpone the matter for another
conference next Tuesday. This was
lost. Efforts we're made to amend the
bill during the conference, but all OF
these failed. Fault was found with the
bill on the ground that it did not in.
clude regulation for the private car
evil and terminal charge. The advo.
Gates of the bill contested these criti.
cisms, claiming that authority was
contained in the bill to correct the
complained of evils.

Unusual Weather Conditions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The reports
to the weather bureau show some very
unusual meteorological. conditions
throughout the country, particularly
the development of an abnormal cold
spell in the north central states, es-
pecially in the absence of any general
storm, and this extreme cold has
spread through most OF the United
States during the past four days. A
great contrast has also developed be.
tween the two sides of the Rocky
mountains. West of that range rains
have developed to a remarkable de.
gree. The semi-arid regions of Ari.
IONA and Southern California have
been visited with almost as much rain
10 the last 60 hours as they ordinarily
receive in a year.
