WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. Rear Ad-j
mirai Charles Henry Davis (retired)
lied at his homo here to-day. He was
i brother-in-law of Senator Lodge, was I

ainments and is remembered for his j
...liant action in the Spanish War and
it Jamaica, W. I., at the time of the
rreat earthquake and tire disaster in
;oo7.
He was born at Cambridge, Mass.,
in August 25, 1845, son of the late Rear
admiral Charles H. Davis, and was
graduated from Annapolis in 1HR4.
Down to 18.'S his services were of a
peaceful character, ?ind wore chiefly de?
voted to scientific observations and in?
vestigations. He commanded several
expeditions to determine differences of I
longitude by means of submarine tele?
graphic cables, and was the author of I
two standard treatises on "Telegraphic
Determination of Longitude'' and
"Ghronometcr Rates as Affected by'
Temperature ami (??her Causes." His
scientific attainments led to his ap?
pointment in 1897 as superintendent of'
the Naval Observatory.

From this work he was called in
1898 to command tho auxiliary cruiser
Dixie in the war with Spain, and it fell

bama in 1902, and in 1904 was a divi?
sion commander of the battleship
squadron. In 1904-'05 he was a mem?

inquiry into the famous Dogger Bank
episode in the Russo-Japanese' War, in
which the panic-stricken Russian fleet
fired upon British fishing vessels. In
January, 1907, he rushed his squadron.
consisting of the battleships Indiana .
and Missouri and the gunboat Yankee,
to the harbor of Kingston, Jamaica, to
tfiv" aid to the city, stricken with'
earthquake and lire, and landed a num- !
bor of men for various humane duties.
but, to the astonishment of the world,
was curtly repulsed and practically
ordered off by the British Governor.
Alexander Swettenham. In the officia!
controversy which followed that dis- i
agreeable incident Admiral Davis was
cordially sustained in his course by'
the President and the Secretary of the
Navy and by pubic sentiment in Croat
Britain as well as-in the Cri*.'1'! .States.
The British Foreign .Secretary, Sir Ed
war now Lord Grey, paid a gener?
ous tribute to the American command?
er.
Retired in 1907
\ . ral Davis rose through the vari?
ous grades to trat or rear admiral in
1904, and was retired b < ope rath
law on August 28, 1907. In 1893 he;
was the official escort of : ?e Spanish
Infanta, Eulalia, on her visit to this
country, in recognition of which the;
Spanish government made him a Grand
Commander of the Order of Isabella.]
In 1899 he published ait admirable bi?
ography of his father. After his re?
tirement from active, service he de?
voted his attention chiefly to art, in
which he had long been proficient, and I
produced a number of greatly admired
marine paintings and water colors, of
which an exhibition was given at the
Corcoran Gallery in Washington. He
was never married. His sister Anna,'
who survives him, was married in 1871 '
to Senator Henry Cabot. Lodge.

Second to Die in Year
Stricken With Disease in
Less Than a Month Af?
ter He Reached District
VERA CRUZ, Mexico, Dec. 27 ( By
The Associated Press).- Dr. Howard B.
Cross, of the Rockefeller Institute, died
here this morning, a victim of yellow
fever.
Dr. Cross arrived at Vera Cruz early
this month to open a laboratory for
study of yellow fever and marsh faver
which the Rockefeller Institute is es?
tablishing here. Twelve days a?o he
went to Tuxtepec, center of the yellow
fever district. After two days there
inspecting sanitary conditions he con?
tracted the disease and was brought
here, where futile efforts were made to
save his life.
The funeral will take place to-mor?
row, attended by the medical corps and
representatives of the authorit es.
Dr. Cross is the second American
physician to die here of yellow fever
within a year, the first being Dr. Hae
drick, attached to the American Con?
sulate.
Dr. Howard h. Cross "sacrificed his
life for science and humanity while
engaged, along with others of the staff,
in the effort or the International Health
Board of the Rockefeller institute to
eradicate yellow fever from Mexico,"
said :i statement issued yesterday by
the Rockefeller Institute.
"Dr. Cros3 gave his life willingly,"
! the statement continued, "in order that
one of the great plagues of humanity
might be overcome and destroyed. By
; his death the science of bacteriology
has lost an able, conscientious nd
devoted worker and the world a brave
and generous spirit."
Dr. Cross, who was thirty-two years
old and married, sailed from New York
November 23. An expert zoologist and
bacteriologist, he. began last April a
special study of the microbe carrier of
yellow fever under its discoverer, Dr,
jfideyo Noguchi.
A graduate of the University of Okla?
homa, he made pest-graduate studies
. nt the University of Chicago and Johns
Hopkins University. Two years ago he
enlisted in the army to assist in re?
searches.
