Death of Rear-Admiral Charles M. Thomas

Rear-Admiral Charles M. Thomas (retired), U. S. N., died at Del Monte, Cal., July 3, of apoplexy. Death came unexpectedly, as his health had been generally good of late. Admiral Thomas was much loved by his men and respected by all; the flags of the fleet in San Francisco were placed at half-mast on receipt of news of his death. He was second in command in the cruise of the Atlantic Fleet; assumed the command during the sickness of Admiral Evans; succeeded Admiral Evans as commander-in-chief May 9; retired May 15, after a long and faithful service in the navy. His wife, one daughter, and one son survive him.
