Was Not Surprising.
The news of Edwards death was
not surprising, the people believing
the end was near When the bulletin
yesterday announced his condition
critical the capital received the news
with sadness. There was no excite
ment. The fashionable restaurants
and theatres were just emptying
when the newsboys rushed into the
streets with their Extras" People
discussed his death and by o'clock
the streets were deserted. Almost
to the end the king refused to take
to his bed.
One Of the last utterances attrl-
buted to Edward was. We'll, it Is
all over, but | think D have done my
duty"
The queen and other members of the
royal family, were in the sick room

death the king appeared to recognize

1t was nearly half an hour after the
king died that Lord Knollys an

nothing until the newspapers were

Edward was loved almost unive-
rsally. He was the subject Of fierce
criticism in his youth because of his
manner OF living. but lived down his
rather unenviable reputation through
years Of careful conduct. Edward
won the confidence of all people as
almost no other English sovereign
save his mother. Queen Victoria. He
was successful as statesman, par
ticularly in foreign affairs. AS the
the idol of his people he welded
great influence and was a useful in
strumcnt Of the ministry. In domes-

Sensational Dash Merely Farce
Lieut.. cLaughlns Ride to Bear Peace Tdngs in Porto
Rico Made Because He Forgot to Telephone.

Indianapolis, May 5.-R. NJ Cass, an
electrical engineer employed by the
Indianapolis Light and Heat Company,
who was sergeant in the signal corps
OF the regular army during the Span
lsh-American war. relates bit of in
teresting history in connection with
the war that might be of value TO his
torlans. 1t is regarding General
Miles's invasion of Porto Rico and the
nearness which the United States
troops came to enga ring in battle
that would have made other engage
ments of the war appear as small ones
in comparison.
incidentally the Twenty-seventh bat
terry of Indiana volunteers, 1T
strong. and composed almost exclu-
sively of Indianapolis young men, was
on what was to be the firing line with
field pieces loaded with shrapnel
shells. With the battery We're three
ether batteries and several regiments
of infantry. The Spanish army was in
block houses in the mountains sur
rounding the American troops. and the
first guns were about to be fired by
tie Americans when messenger
dashed uD on mule with COPY of
tie peace protocol in his hand. He
had killed horse and had finished
his Journey on the mule just in time
to prevent battle
Forgot the Telephone.
1t is Cass's assertion that this mes
senger was Lieutenant Mclaughlin OF
the signal corps. and that in his eager.
ness to get the message to General
Brooks and prevent "a battle, he ran
out and started on horse when he
could have used the signal corps tele
phone, which had line stretched to
| General Brooks's headquarters.
Lieutenant McLaughlin's blunder
discredited the signal corps in Porto
| Rico" Cass said I'VE had our lines
| connected with both divisions of the
army and Mclaughlin, who was at
| Guayama and only six or seven miles
from General Brooks, received the
| message about the peace protocol
| from the cable station at Ponce, forty
eight miles away Instead of tele
| phoning at once to General Brooks he
ran out with the message and rode tc
General Brooks.
! Narrow Escape From Battle.
| 1t was one of the little incidents oil
the war and the illustrated magazines
of the United States made much over
the ride of the messenger with the
copy of the peace protocol. Lons
stories were printed about the narrow
escape from great battle. The bat
terry boys in Indianapolis well know il
was a narrow escape from deadl,
engagement. The Spaniards were wei
intrenched. and they were well sup
piled with field pieces of ancient pat
tern, but effective equipment wher
