Away at Age Of II Years.
Hingham, Mass, Aug. 30.-John D.
Long, former secretary Of the navy
and former governor Of Massachusetts,
died at his home here Saturday.
Mr.. Longs death was generally un-
expected. He returned from a trip to
Maine two days ago suffering from
an Intestinal trouble with which he
had been afflicted for several years
He was ordered to rest by his physi-
clans, but reports that his condition
were critical were denied.
John D. Long was secretary If the
navy during the spanish-American
war. It was he who is on record as
having dispatched the famous mes-
sage Of April 25, 1898, to Commodore
George Dewey, commanding the
Asiatic squadron, then awaiting orders
at Hongkong. The message read:
"war has commenced between Spain
and the United States. Proceed at
once to the Philippine islands. Cap
ture or destroy the Spanish ships. Use
the utmost endeavor."
It was on the sixth day after the
receipt Of these orders that Dewey re-
ported his great victory in the battle
OF Manila bay. AS to the message
which had thus sent the feet into ac-
ton, Secretary Long once said:
my name was at the bottom.
Glorious dispatch! I should rather
like to have the credit Of it. But it
was not mine. directed Chief CROWN
shield Of the bureau of investigation to
have such dispatch made ready. But
Crowinshield did not write it. Who
prepared It? Some subordinate clerk
in the bureau. Who, God only knows.
