EFFIE Med ium, t, Lusiness and test med Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee, United States navy, retired, the last of the com- manders of the great squadrons during the civil war, died at his home at Silver Spring, rear this city, at 5 o'clock Saturday after- noon, after a short illness. Admiral Lee enjoyed strongy robust health up to the very day of his death. Early Saturday morning he suffered a stroke of paralysis, from which he never recovered, and he passed quietly to his eternal rest as the sun went down the same day. He leaves onc child, Mr. Blair Lee of Silver Spring, and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Lee, a daughter of Mr. Francis P. Blair, both of whom were at his bedside when he died. The brave old admiral was in his elghty-sixth year. The funeral will take place torsorrow af- terncon at 5 o'clock, at Arlington. Onc of America’s Naval Heroes. Admiral Lee was one of the finest char- acters in American naval history. Born in Fairfax county, Va., February 15, 1812, he entered the navy from that state as a midshipman in November, 1825. His early service was on the West India station, the Mediterranean station and the Pacific sta- tien. In 1846 he was, on his own applica- JOHN W.

The Oneida also participated in the cap- ture of the Chalmette batteries beiow New Orleans, and became advance guard above the city. For a time Admiral Lee com- manded the aévance division below Vicks- burg, and he participated in both passages of the Vicksburg batteries, the Oneida being second in line on both occasions. In Command of the Blockade. In September, 1862, he was appointed acting rear admiral, and placed in coim- mand of the North Atlantic blockading squadron. He was engaged in biockading the coasts of Virginia and North Carolina, and zealously co-cperated with armies «in defense of Norfolk, Newburn and Wash- ington, fighting with their ironclads and heavy fortifications in Trent's Reach and their field batteries along Grant's line of communication on the James river. For two years he fulfilled the arduous duties ef this important command, perfecting and maintaining a vast blockade. The dangerous vigation of the North Carelina coast, owing to the long shoals of Cape Fear, between the two ports, into Wilmington, the nearness of the British berts of Bermuda and Nassau, from which steamers of great speed ran at night, and the immense profit attending the risks, made the blockade an undertaking of the greatest difficulty, and yet the confederacy Was, in effect, isolated by several girdles of cruisers (a system originated by Rear Admiral Lee) from foreign recruits, sup- plies and munitions of war. Of the total number of blockade running steamers cap- tured or destroyed by this entire squadron —sixty. in ail—fifty-four were captuted or destroyed by Admiral Lee’s fleet.

On the Mississippi. In October, 1834, Admiral Lee tooR com- mand of the Mississippi squadron, and con- tinued his good work in the suppression of the rebellion. Lee’s movement up the Cum- berland to support Gen. Thomas was in co- operation with the army against the ap- prehended crossing of the river by Hood, nd his marching to the Ohio. The flagship Was stopped at Clarksville by the low stage of water, which was still falling on Harpeth shoals; the river rising barely cnough in time to allow Fitch to move the gunboats at Nashville and participate in the defeat of Hood, but not enough to make Harpeth shoals passable until three cays later. Army communications were kept open and operations supported with vigor and effect, and the lower Mississippi was vigilantly guarded against the inter- vention of the trans-Mississipp! confederate forces. The cperation of the squadron on the Tennessee river prevented Hood on his retreat from crossing where the Tennessee was navigable, forcing him to cross six miles above the head of navigation, on Muscle shoals, the rocky barrier that ef- fectually closes navigation for thirty miles above the close piers cf Florence bridge, where he had previously crossed. Admiral Lee was detached from the Missizsippl squadron in August, 1865, which: squadron after much labor had been disbanded. After the War. ~ After the war Admiral Lee served in va- rious Important capafities in Philadelphia, New York and Washington, during which time he made an examination of the At- lantic navy yards and wrote a valuable re- port as to the steps necessary for their im- provement.

LOUIS WAS DISORDERLY. He Pleaded Not Guilty, but the Evi- dence Was Against Him. Louis Raffella was charged Saturday in the Police Court with disorderty coduct. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” asked Clerk Lum Harper, after reading the usual information. “Beg pardon,” said Louis, in the politest of tones. “I did not quite catch what you said.” Ms The reply was the signhl féf a general outburst of indignation. > 4 “Were you disorderly or not?? demanded the clerk, with nothing M{ hig voice that indicated gentleness. “Are yer guilty er not guilty of being dis- orderly?” roared a stalwart bailiff. “Speak up there,” directed ppocher. When he recovered his’ composure the prisoner remarked that he was not zullty. “This man ceme to the Municipal Loag- ing House in the morning, ia an intoxicated condition,” said Mr. J.'u'. Healy, who is connected with that institution “He tried ‘o force his way in and acted in a very rderly manner.” “What have you to say?” the prisoner was asked. < “Simply not guilty.” The reply of Juage Kimball was quite as simple.

Childs, evidently a man of education, was in the toils of justice today in the Police Court, as the result of a ram- page, indulged in by him Saturday night. ‘The testimony showed that Childs was ai- most paralyzed drunk, possessing sufficient energy and strength, however, to fracture the skulls of several persons near him. The deferdant, himself, did not escape un- scathed.. “Judge,” your honor,” said Childs, ud- dressing Judge Kimba'l, “i had not taken a drop since ecember, till Saturday, when I drank a little beer.’ It must have con- tained ‘done,’ for 1 lost all knowledge of what I was dong.” “That is no excuse for what happened,” stated the court. “I heve a ticket for Louisville,” contin- ued Chiids,” and if you will let me off I'll leave town by ‘the tirst train.” The man was released on his personal bonds, and a policeman accompanied him to the rafiroad station. ——— Bold Robbers. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. FALLS CHURCH, Va., June 7, 1897. Thieves entered the residence of Mr. C. E. Mankin here Saturday night, taking money, clothing and jewelry belonging to Mrs. Mankin. The robbery occurred be- tween the hours of 9 and 11 p.m., while the occupants were absent at the stcre of Mr. Mankin. Mrs. Mankin and the chi!- dren left home about 8:30, and with her husband returned a little after 10. ‘Ihe party or parties effected an entrance through the window in the rear part. of the house after breaking a large pane ot glass.

And even the grown people after a long course of roots get an cwful hunger for meat. It was such a hunger that caused the reconcen- tradoés near Mariel to devour the car- casses of oxen which had died of gan- grene. Canas, between Guanajay and Mariel. The reconcentradees knew what caused the death of the oxen. I confess not to hare investigated this circumstance in person, though by spending a few hours the day we went out to see the trocha it would have been pessible to have learned all the” details. I was content to take the word of a reputable sugar planter in Havana, who spoke from personal knowledge. No Sanitary Precautions. This outline of the conditions on which is based my statement that Spain holds the ‘country people as prisoners of war, and dees not feed them, would be incomplete without a word on ancther phase of the prison camps of the reconcentradoes. It is customary when people are herded togeth- er in war or otherwise to make some pro- vision for sanitation ard hygienic observ- ances. In none of the settlements have 1 seen the slightest evidences of this, nor have I heard of it being done anywhere. These country people, used to iiving apart in the open air, are merely herded together by the hundreds and thousands. Their own ignorance, so far as my observation has gone, has supplied no remedy. The rainy season has begur. At Matanzas, on the hill of Cascaro, the floods are sweeping dewn the refuse from the heights to the huts clustered on the hillside and in the ravine. At Sagua the swamp where the camp is located is by this time a living quagmire. What is truc of Sagua fs true of most of the other camps. It was easier to command the reconcentradoes with forts and soldiers when they were set down fn the bottoms or lowlands, and this pian seems to have been generally foilowed. The Pestilence of Guines. No one can foretell what this second harvest of nestilence and death, due to the rainy season, will be. The first har’ came soon after the concentration, wh: smallpex and other diseases distanced star- vation in stalking through the camps. Now all over the island go up warnings to fore- ferd against “another Guines.” Guines is a town of 10,000, people, teree hours’ ride by rail southeast of Havana. Its ncrmal pop1- lation was swollen several thousands by the addition of the reconcentradocs. The sanitary conditions were even worse than elsewhere. The plague fattened, and dur- ing April, according to the official -ecord, there were 1,265 deat! Since then it has become a little better. The pestilence has not so many victims to feed on, but the alcaide, or mayor, in seeking to perpetuate his name, has made a present to the town of a new grave yard, and it is described as a “noble benefaction.” The sepultures in it have already begun. Other places have not such public-spirited alcaldes, ané they are therefore keeping up the warn- ings against “another Guines.” But the time to have acted was before the rainy season set in. The military authorities could have taken all the necessary steps for sanitation. The subject is unpleasant te the imagination, and tafinitely more so to the sense, but it is not possible to over- icok this in writing of the reconcentradoes and their surroundings. Who Two American Physicians Saw. The Sunday evening that Mr. Calhoun and Consul General Lee returned from the visit to the reconcentradoes at Matanzas they met two American physicians who had been visiting some of the camps in Pinar del Itio. Cne of these physicians is a veteran of yellow fever epidemics in the southern states, and had been long familiar with-the conditions of life in the tropics. The younger one has also had considerable experience with disease in these climates. They had gone out to see the reconcentra- dees semi-professionally,as they wouid per- haps have visited a hospital. What they saw pierced the crust of professional re- serve. Both had emptied their pockets. Nobody ever comes away from a settle- ment of the pacifices with money in his pockets. Both, too, had observed with keener eyes than are given to the ordinary observer. They did not need to have the symptoms of fever and starvation explained to them. They could judge the sani y conditions and could teil would riot. These physicians gave their day to the investigation. When they returned to Ha- vana at night they were competént to form en opinion. “I am no sentimentalist,” said the younger doctor, “but there is only one meaning which can be drawn from this business. It means the extermination of a people by starvation.” And the elder one declared: “It is mur- der, systematic murder, through disease and hunger.”. CHARLES PEPPER. ss Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—W.
