Enl’ oo - Prasiully After a Long and Painful [llness. DUBLIN, May 30.—A notable career closed tonight when, after a long and painful illness, Michael Davitt died | peacefully and painlessly at 12 o'elcck in the presence of his oldest som, Mi- chael, and his two daughters, who had devotedly attended him through his ill- ness, and of many of his most intimate friends, including John Dillon. Shertly before his death Father Hatton had been with him. Mrs. Davitt, who had been in constant attendance on her husband until a few days ago, when she herself was taken {ll, lies pros- tratéd in the same hosvital. too weak to leave her room. She has not yet been informed of her husband's death. It is said that Mr. Davitt left a writ- ten massage, but'if so its purport has not developed. The greatest sympathy has been dis- played by all elasses of saci during Mr. Davitt's illness. Today the hospital was besieged. by ancious inquifers. John E. Redmond, leader ¢f the Irish party in Parliament, who was a fre- quent: inquirer by, teleghone from the House of Commons, gave up his pro- posed continental trip over the Whit- suntide holidays owing to the condition of his friend, the fatner of the Irish Land League. After a rally last night Mr./ Davitt was able to speak to those at his bed- side, but he soon showed that he was losing ground.

Almost New Vessel May Be Lost to the Navy of the King. LONDON, May 30.—It is feared the British navy will lose one of its best vessels, the first-class battleship Mon+ tagu, which struck om the rocks ag Lundy Island Wednesday, and, ac« cording to latest reports received at Davenport- at midnight, is not likely to be refloated. Naval experts are of the opinion that to attempt to refloat the Montagu under present conditions will mean her disappearance in thirty fathoms of water, as she is fixed pre- cariously on a ledge and in danger of avert 5 Litde is as yet T a5 to what occurred when the* struck. Al the members of the crew were saved, LUNDY ISLAND, England, May 30— | H. M. S. Montagu is ashore at Shuttes | Point. The battleship is in a bad po- sition. She struck during a dense fog. The Montagu is a twin-screw battle- ship of 14,000 tons, attached to.the | channel fleet. Her captain is Thomas | B. S. Adair, and her commander George |s. Petch. The Montagu struck on & granite cone southwest of Lundy Island, known as Shutter Point, at 2:10 o'clock thig | morning., and remains on the rocks with a bad hole in her bottom in the forepart of her, starboard side. Sev= |eral of her compartments are full of . | water and sthe engine room, boiler | raoms and stokeholds are flooded. The | battleship lies listed heavily to staf- | board, with water above her torpedo | nets and still gaining. She has lost | both propellers and her wireless ap= | paratus, and besides has several holes | in plates. | The sea remains smooth, with 2 mod- erate ground swell and a gentle souths | to-southwest breeze, but a thick fog | prevails. | The Montagu was proceeding to Pen- | sance in preparation for the forthcom= ing maneuvers, and apparently missed her course in a fog. She appears to be | firmly fixed on_the rocks, and if a storm | springs up her position will be very perileus. 3 | The battleship Duncan and the dock= yard tog ‘Alligater have arrived here and are standihg by the Montagu to gender any assistance possible. DEVONPOR1, England, May 30.—The naval authorities here feel great anX- iety-as to whether the Montagu will be refloated. The ship was only three years old.

Mr. Davitt retired from the repre= sentation of South Mayo in Parliament in 1899, but to the last took a keen im= terest in the politics of his country. Death was due to blood poisoning, | which followed two operations for | crosis of the jawbone, and spread rapidly that all efforts to stay it | course were unavailing. | +Mr. Davitt's illness began with an | insidious attack of toothache, to whicly | he paid no attention until John Dillon | urged him to have recourse to medical { advice. For some time there were hopes | for his recovery, but the state of his | health, which was undermined by ex= | ertions at the recent general electionsy greatly handicapped his progress. ATLANTA, Ga.
