The death of John Hay, whom future
historians will doubtless describe as the
greatest Secretary of State this country
has ever had, has caused the most pro-
found grief here. The suddenness with
which the end came was an especial
shock to his friends in official and prl-
yate life who had been led to believe
that he was on the rapid road to recovery.
Although it had been known for year
or more Mr. Hay was far from being .
we'll man, it was the general opinion
here that his recent European tour
would be the means of restoring him to
comparatively good health. Early this
morning, Immediately after his arrival
at the State Department, acting Secretary
of the State Peirce sent the following
telegram to every member of the Cabl-
net: at is my sad duty to advise you
officially of the death Of Secretary
of State John Hay, at Newbury, N.
H., at 1925 o'clock this morning
Signed: Herbert II. ID. PIERCE"
The following dispatch was sent
by Mr.. PIERCE TO all American EN-
bassies and Legations abroad: Sec
rotary Hay died Unexpectedly at 1925
this morning. Display usual symobols of
mourning aud inform government"
The State Department through acting
Secretary PIERCE, this morning formally
notified the members of the foreign Dip
lomatic corps in Washington of the
death of Secretary Hay. Notification
of the sad event was also cabled to all
United States Embassies and legations
abroad. Later in the day, in accord
ance with instructions from President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, proclamation
on the subject will be issued from the
State Department. A number Of diplo-
mats called at the State Department
this morning to personally express their
regrets and the condolences of their
governments at the death Of Secretary
Hay.
Charles j. Bonaparte, of Baltimore,
