At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in April 1898, Devine traveled to Cuba for the United States Post Office Department. He was later given an appointment as a Second Lieutenant with the 47th United States Volunteer Infantry and served in the Philippines. Upon returning to Washington D.C. after his service, Devine found work as a clerk for the Interior Department. On July, 23, 1901, Devine was living with his wife and mother-in-law, Harriet E. Garvis, when he threatened to cut his wife's throat and was arrested. Three days later, Devine answered to charges stemming from this incident and another where he rode around in a taxi for more than an hour and refused to pay. Judge Mills, of the Police Court, found Devine in default of an earlier bond meant to "keep the peace" between him and his wife and sentenced him to 90 days in jail. Judge Mills also ordered Devine to pay the taxi driver $1.25 for his services. On October 2, 1901, at about 8:00 a.m. Devine was found unconscious and face-down in the street in front of Hogan's Oyster House located at 423 12th Street. A patrol wagon brought him to the Central Dispensary and Emergency Hospital but he died at 8:30 a.m. from apoplexy. Devine was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Lot 493.
