VOL, V. SAMPSON IS NO MORE Admiral Stricken With a Sodden Hemorrhage and Snccambs. SEMI-UNCONSCIOUS FOR BAYS Demise of Rear Admiral Occurs at His ( Home in Washington. Mrs. Sampson Prostrated. - Rear Admiral William T. Sampson, retired, died at his home in Washing¬ ton city at. 5 o’clock Tuesday after¬ noon. The immediate cause of death was a severe cerebral hemorrhage. He had been in a scmi-conscious state fat sereral days. At the bedside when the admiral breathed his last were Mrs. Sampson, Mrs. Lieutenant Cluverius, the admi¬ ral’s married daughter; Admiral Samp eon’s two young sons. Ralph and Har¬ old Sampson; Dr. Dixon, the attending physician, and nurses and attendants. Airs. Sampson has broken down ut»* der the severe strain and was quite ill all during the day. But for the criti¬ cal condition of the admiral she would have been confined to her bed. It was suggested to Mrs. Sampson that the navaL cemetery .at Annapolis would be a proper place for the last resting place of the remains, while other friends have represented to her that he should he buried in Arling¬ ton cemetery, near Washington. Ad¬ miral Sampson resided in Annapolis eight years, during four years of which he was superintendent of the academy there. Mrs. Sampson suffered a slight ac¬ cident four days ago jvhile attending to the wants of the Admiral and has been In bed since. FRANCE IS TURNED DOWN. Government Was Desirous, of Confer¬ ring Great Honor on Memre. i Dewey and Mites, A Washington special says: Army, mavy and diplomatic circles were har¬ rowed up Tuesday by the report that President Roosevelt had informed the French government, through its minis ter, M. Cambon, that he did not think It desirable for that government to con fer the cross of the legion of honor upon Admiral Dewey and Lieutenant Genr-ral Miles. Vrlends of the two officers assert tthat the president has no right to deny the admiral and the general the honors •offered them by France, congress alone holding the power to say whether or not they are worthy. These friends go further and declare the president’s ac tion is inspired by his determination to further humiliate Dewey and Miles, this time making their humiliation in femational Fiance intimated to the president two weeks ago. through M. Cambon, that she derired to confer the honors on the occasion of the unveiling of the Rechambeau statue on May 24, Roosevclt was surprised, it is said, and asked for time to consider the mat ter. He conferred with Secretary Hay, Secretary Root and several senators. When M. Cambon called again, Roosevelt said it would be out of the •question to allow the honors to be con ferred upon men who he bad so re centiv reprimanded. in view of the fact that congress, and not the executive is empowered to determine whether an officer of the government shall receive a decoration from * a >g. foreign iUi Cl^it government, V V* UUi v u 1 the * “ V decis- — ion of the president will undoubtedly cause a rumpus in the capitol. Both the admiral and general have . Mends in the senate and house, V. ho will be inclined to take up matter and press it if allowed to do so. It is proposed "treatment*of by the democrats to use the Admiral Dewey and General Miles as a weapon In the fall campaign, and the decision of tlie president relative to the tender of the French government is looked upon by them as furnishing excellent additional ammunition.

He said in part: “In receiving these diplomas you be¬ come men who, above almost any oth¬ ers of the entire union, are to carry henceforth the ever present sense of responsibility which must come with the khbwi'edge that on some tremen¬ dous day It may depend upon your courage, your preparedness, your keen intelligence and knowledge of your profession whether or not the nation is again to write her name on the world’s roll of honor or to know the black shame of defeat,. We all of us hope that the occasion for war may never come, but if it has to come, then this nation must win; and the prime factor in securing victory over any foreign foe must of necessity be the United States navy.
