MADAME NoRDICA DEAD
Opera Singer Expires in Bavaria After
Illness Of Several Weeks-Fame
Gained in Music World After Long
Finht For Recognition.

Batavia. Java. May 1.-Madame Lii
lian Eordica. the opera singer, died
hero Sunday night. .....
Madame Nordioa had been i'll here for
several weeks. Although her condi-
ton had been considered critical FOR
several days. 1t was felt by physicians
who attended her that she had a
chance to recover.
Madame Nordica was born at Farm
ington. Me-. May IL. 1859 Her first
training was obtained from John o.
Neill, who was an instructor in the
New England Conservatory, Boston.
Like many another American vocalist
she gained her first experience as a
singer in a church choir. and this ex-
perience, gained In Dr. Putnam's
church. she amplitled by singing en-
tour with tho Handel and Haydn So
ciety OF Boston and with Theodore
Thomas Orchestra. In 1878 Miss
Norton-she had not then assumed the
name OF Nordica-studied in Milan
with Sangiovanni. and on April 30,
1879. she made her debut as an operate
singer at Brescia as Violetta in La
Traviata."
1t would seem that Madame Nordica's $
success was not as vet of triumphal
order. She did not stagger the musical
world into any sudden revelation or
great vocal or histrionic powers. Her
fame was that which came as the re-
suit OF hard work and If untiring per.
severance, hut after appearances in the
opera houses of Berlin, Dantzig, St
Petersburg, and other cities. It daWned
upon the world that a singer Of un-
common voice and skill had came from
America. IT was An the 's0s that En-
gland heard the artist in opera. but
Madame Nordica had appeared pre-
viously-in 1s7s-at the Crystal Palace
London, with Gilmore's Band
England was, IN reality. the scene OF
Madame Nordicns real triumphS.
Few singers had been so completely
accepted as she was. The artists bril-
liant voice. her exceptional abilities as
bravura and as a purely dramatic
singer aetonished and captivated all
who heard her. ,..-
IN 1882 she was married to FredericK
A. Cover and then retired for short
time from the stage. Eighteen months
later Mr.. Cover attempted to cross the
English Cnannel IN odi'oon ana 'oS'
his life In 1855 Madame Nordica re-
appeared in the operate arena and
sang hrst In Boston and in tours with
Mapleson Since that time she has
been a dominating figure on the Ameri-
can as we'll as on the European stage.
and in her best period there were few
sopranos who could compete with her
as an interpreter Of Wagnerian roles.
In these she has appeared many times
in Chicago as member OF the Grau,
Metropolitan. San Carlo and Chicago
opera companies.
In 1895 Madame Nordica wae mar
ried to Zoltan Dome, a Hungarian tenor
whom she divorced. Her third hus-
band was George Warrington Young,
head of the banking Arm Of George w.
Young & Co.. New York.

Blame For Abandoning Tampico.
Vera Cruz, May 1.-THE official
statement made by Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels. answering the COM
plants of critics of the action Of the
department in removing the warships
from Tampico by throwing the re-
sponsibility on Rear Ad1nirals Badger
and Mayo. has just reached here and
has caused the greatert establishment
among people who are aware OF all the
circumstances.
1t is an undeniable fact that the sec
retary Of the navy himself ordered the
Withdrawal Of Rear Admiral Mayo's
ships. with the exception Of the cruiser
Des Moines, from Tampico. The other
vessels were ordered to Vera Cruz and
the Des Moines was instructed to
withdraw outside the harbor of Tam
pico. This was on April 20.
Rear Admiral Mayo was astonished
upon receiving the order. He did not
believe that this withdrawal was in
tended and the order was not obeyed
until he had received confirmation OF
the official dispatch from the navy de-
partment.
At this time Rear Admiral Badger
was beyond wireless communication
with Rear Admiral Mayo and knew
nothing OF the withdrawal Of the ves-
sells from Tampico until 1t had been
accomplished. For that reason he had
nothing to do with it and did not ap-
prove Of the order from Washington.
Rear Admiral Badger appeared to be
astonisled today when informed or the
apparent effort Of the Washington au-
thoritles to blame himself and Rear
Admiral Mayo for what the refugees
have been denouncing as "the Tampico
crime"

pico. Huerta holds that this necessity
did not Justify the United States IN
deliberately violating the status quo.
The fuel ship Arethusa is now at the
island, and the monitor Ozark Is under
orders to go there.
Stirs Up Latin Americans.
In pan american circles it Is real
ized that incidents such as the seizure
of Lobos island, the substitution OF
soldiers for bluejackets and marines,
and the aid which the United States IS
giving to the constitutionalists lend
support to Huerta's charge that the
suspension Of hosiilities has not been
observed by this government.
So far as Huerta is concerned, his
complaints amount to nothing. But the
prime purpose Of the administration in
accepting mediation was to change
Latin American sentiment from
Huerta to the United States. 1t Is not
likely this purpose will be realized IN
view of the basis which is being fur
nished for the charge that our forces
are not living up to an agreement en-
tered into with the dictator.
Mediation Will Continue.
That mediation is to continue was
shown by visit made at the "nlte
House Sunday by Mr.. Da Cana. tho
Brazilian ambassador. Mr.. Da Cana
is the ranking mediator, and is re-
garded in diplomatic circles as one OF
the most astute foreign representatives
in Washington. Following his call upon
the president reports were ir circula-
tion that he had notified the chief
executive that the mediators had come
to the conclusion that nothing could
be done.
While no information can be OBJ
tained in references to the details OF
the views exchanged by the president
and the ambassador, it may be stated
positively that the efforts to arrange
the Mexican situation peacefully will
continue.
The White House will announce to-
day the names of two Of the repre-
sentatives of the president. 1t is semi
officially stated that Associate Jus
tice Lamar of the United States su-
preme court and Frederick w. Leh-
mann, of st. Louis, have been selected.
That Huerta will make no objection
to either Of the men Is regarded as
certain.
