the admiral and his wife came to
Wales for the Christmas season. He
was taken suddenly 111 last week and
grew steadily worse until the end came
today. The couple intended to sail for

will sail with Admiral Burwell's body.
The admiral was born at Vicksburg,
Miss., July 19, 1846. He was gradu
ated from the United States naval
academy at Annapolis In 1866. He was
gradually promoted In rank until he
became a rear admiral In 1906. He
was retired in the same year on ac

ships and commands, among his most
important posts being commandant of
the United States naval station at
Puget sound from 1900 to 1902. In the

of the battleship Oregon, on which
ship he served until 1904. At the time
of his retirement he was In command
