Today the family OF the late ad

sympathy OF the people, as thousands
OF kilograms OF coincidence poured in
When word flashed over the country
late yesterday that the grizzled war
rior had breathed his last. thousands
or navy men here, who regarded
Fighting Bob" as the type of the
best OF the old guard OF the navy
were shocked
Today this feeling OF personal loss
was expressed in messages to the
navy departments asking that tle
body of Fighting Bob might lie in
state. Plain blue Jackets joined with
high naval officers in expressing the
hope that they might be permitted to
take a last look at one whom they
felt was the embodiment OF the tradi

Though the interment will be Sc

That Admiral Evans, who under the
cognomen OF Fighting Bob" shared
with Lord Charles Beresford, his clos

being the most popular commander
that ever wore naval uniform, Is re-
