The board of auxiliary cruisers and
a" number of Viuieau chiefs met in As

during the morhinrr. "Each : of the
bureau chiefs present were able to give
the boa,rd some information incident to
the work t,hat may be required to fit
out any ships that 'might be obtained.
Several cf the members of ,the board
as originally appointed t look intq the
matter are unable to leave the city at
the present time, so it. was determined
that -a-' special board, of which Cap
tain Rod gers wili be, "president, should
be designated to proceed to New York
last 'nigrht to undertake the work In
hand. An ofnee was opened at 26 Court
landt street, 'New York city, this morn-.,

System Two -Children at Deathbed.
Los Angeles, Cal.. March 12. Gen
eral - W. S. Rosecrans died yesterday
at his home near Redondo. The -eld
warrior's dath was peaceful in the ex
treme. For several days he had been
between :life and death, at times'tineon
scious and sgain in a comatose state.
His splendK vitality kept him alive
for days. At the bedside when the
end came were a son and daughter of
the generaU Carl and Anna Rosecrans,
and a number of Immediate friends of
the family, besides the attending phy
sician. Dr. Hakes. His third child, a
daughter, Mrs. O'Toole, lives at Helena
Ont. .
General Rosecrans was stricken with
no particular, disease, and the end came
through a general weakening of the
system. When he was first stricken,
more than two weeks ago, it was not
supposed the ailment was more than
an attack of the grip. He rallied sev
eral limes, - but the physician never
held out much hope for recovery, and
for the last three days the fainuy and
friends had known that the end was
very near.
The place where he died is called
Rosecrans, in honor of him, and is near
a station on the " Redondo, about 12

Rosecrans, in which all the military
bodies of this city and section will par
ticipate. A request will be made to
have the body lie in state in the city
hall until the funeral.
General Rosecrans was born In Kings
ton, O., Sept. 6,1819, and was grad
uated from West x Point in 1842. He
served 12 years in the regular army,
and then entered into business life. At
the' outbreak . of the ejvil war he re
entered the service and . was made
colonel of the Twenty-third Ohio vol
unteers. Three days later he was made
brigadier general, and served with dis
tinction throughout the war, rising to
the grade of major general. After the
war he was. twice elected to congress
fiom California, and in 1888. was ap
pointed register of the treasury by
President Cleveland. . '..-.

appropriating $50,000,000 as an emerg
ency fund, to be used by the president,

the District of Columbia appropriation

On Tuesday the house, after number
less patriotic' speeches, passed the bill
appropriating $50,000,000 as a national
defense fund, to be used as the presi
dent may determine in the ' purchase of
war vessels and munitions of war if,
in his judgment,, it becomes necessary.

propriating $228,000 to-the Methodist
Church South for property destroyed

the president's signature.
. On Thursday the house refused to
concur in the senate amendments to
the Indian appropriation bill, and the
measure was sent back to conference.
On Friday only the lower house was
in sessioS. and the time was consumed
mainly in filibustering against the
Bowman - claim for $1,200,000 for sup

ing the .war. On Saturday, neither
house was in session. .
