New York, Nov. 21. Garret A Ho
bart, vice-president of the United
States, died at his home In Paterson,
N. J., at 8.30 o'clock this morning.
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. Gradually the fail
ure of the heart's action became mote
apparent and soon after midnight last
night Mr. Hobart became unconscious.
He remained In that condition until
his death. Mr. Hobart's death wt s
due directly to angina pectoils. com
pllritlng myocarditis. Owing to tlio
piostratlon of Mrs. Hobart the funeral
arrangements will not be completed
until tomorrow. The only step decided
upon is that tho services shall be held
In the Church of the Redeemer, at
Paterson, and In the Interment In tho
family plot at Cedar Lawn, where the
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hnb-irt
was burled six years ago. Rev. Dr.
Magee will preach tho sermon.
The church can accommodate not
more than S00 persons and, as thous
ands will be eager to attend the ser
vices. It was suggested they bo hold
In the armory, which will accommo
date 1U.000 people. It Is known, how
ever, that Mrs. Hobart wishes the
funeral to be as quiet as possible, and
there is little likelihood that the pro
gramme will be changed.
The mayor and aldermen of Pater
son have suggested that tho body lie
iu state at the city hall on Friday or
Saturday morning and this sugges
tion will probably be carried out.
The pall-bearers have been selected,
but their names will bo withheld un
t" they have been notified and Tlava
accepted.
Nearly all the representatives of for
eign nations In this country have sent
messages of sympathy to Mrs. Hobart.
One of the first to express his sorrow
on the death of the vice-president was
President MoKlnley, who had been
notified by telephone by Private Secre
tary Evans. Attorney General Griggs,
v.ho was In Washington, telegraphed
that ho wquld return to Paterson at tho
earliest possible moment nnd he Is ex
pected to take charge of nil the details
of the funeral.
Among others who sent messages of
condolence were Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British ambassador: Count G. Do
LIchtervelde, envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary of Belgium,
nnd Count Casslnl, Russian ambassa

of the Dewey family made this state
ment to the Associated Press:

presented to the admiral by the people
of this country. It will contlnuo to bo

so long as they may live.
"It may be desirable now to say that
It was the wishes of both tho Admiral
and Mrs. Dewey to provide for a proper
succession to tho property. 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. Through tho method
adopted no dispute ever can arise over
the disposition of the property.

lishes the following dispatch from

"An official communication from
Ladysmlth, dated, Nov. IS, says the
Manila, Nov. 21. 5.40 p, m. 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.

Manila, Nov. 21. C.03 p. m. Tho
whereabouts of Generals Lawton and
Young is becoming as mysterious as
Agulnaldo's. The belief Is beginning
to grow at Manila that General Law
ton has struck the trail of the Insur

It has been his ambition to capturo
the Filipino leaders, and he and Gen
