At his bedside were Mrs. Hobart nml his son, Garret A. Hobart, Jr., togetnor with Dr. William K. Newton nnd hl wife and Private Secretary Kvans. Mr. Hobart's death had been expectol lor some hours. The beginning of the end came yesterday afternoon, when there was a sudden failure of the heart nnd from this attack Mr. Hobart nevsr rallied. He had been sick for a long time and had suffered frequently from heart fnlluie and his strength hid been undei mined.

The trans fer of today completes tho transaction begun yesterday and Is the carrying out only of the original intention of both the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey. Rv all those Interested In the matter the method of transfer adopted was con sidered the beijt nnd safest that could have been adopted. It Is to be consid ered, naturally, that the transfer was to bo the act of Mrs. Dewey, as well as of the admiral. It was her desire that she should release any claims she might have to the property through her marriage to the admiral and to do practicable.

Th United States gunboat Helena arrived at Cnmaguln during tho night of Nov. 12. The watchers of tho wrecked cruiser Charleston saw her lights nnd thought there was a fire upon a nearbyi Island, whereupon they began to tnko steps to help those endangered, hut an tho searchlights of the Helena com municated her presence, the vtllago where tho num of tho Charleston .vcro located rang with their cheers. A party from tho Helena and Charleston vis ited the stranded vessel Nov. 13. It was found that her bows wero clear and that her after bridge was sub merged, making It doubtful whether anything can be salvaged. Tho Helena left for Rampaguln Nov. 11, but heavy weather obliged her to return to Cama guln for shelter until the nineteenth. She signalled tho Raltlmoro at Lln gayen Inst night. The crew of the Charleston were first landed on a small Island neat a town, not knowing what kind ot a reception they would meet with from the na tives. When the Americans learned tho natives were friendly they occupied tho town's nlpa huts, and the Inhabitants supplied them with beeves, rice and fruits. In order to guard against pos- slble attack from tho mainland, de-tachmo-its of the Charleston's crow patrolled tho Island, and a post was established on a hill. A few of tho men experienced sllghtattacks of fever, owing to exposure. A court of Inquiry will be appointed to Inquire Into the loss of the Charles ton, and any subsequent action will de pend upon the fixing of tho responsi bility for the disaster, which Is de pendent on the .court's findings.
