NKW YU:K, Feb. Hi.—(ieneral Sherman (liecl at 1:50 p. in., Saturday aftera brave stru^tflo for life. The improvement in his I'omiition Friday, which filled his'many friends with 'hope that he would win the battle, gave way to alarming symptoms which eaused tho attending physicians to announce that the end was rapidly approaching- The members of his family were hastily summoned to his bedside and remained with him to the end.

The (ieneral was unconscious for some time before death. He did not sutler any pain. His respirations grew weaker and ceased entirely at 1.50. The end came so easily that for a moment it was not possible to realize that he was dead. l'he watchers beside the bedside, of the dying1 hero refused to give up every thread of hope until the last moment.

The fumous patient had rallied so many times since he was taken ill that his friends believed he would again •cp death at bay. Even when his head sank perceptibly to the right side and tl. re was no respiration for fully minute, at the physician, Dr. Alexander, turned to Senator John Sherman and said: "lie is not dead: he will breathe again." And the relatives and friends about the couch drew a breath of relief. The doctor's

Or.NKUAI. SIJKRMAN.

prophecy was correct, for the great warrior moved uneasily in less than a minute and he made move as if to lift his eyelids, but fo»* the first time his strength had deserted him. and after a feeble effort he sank wearily back upon the pillow.

Dr. Alexander made two or three attempts to revive him. but did not succeed, and although he did not communicate his belief to the members of the family-he expected the end and waited for it to occur every moment.

He was unconscious all this time and had been since 0:20 o'clock in the morning, when he looked at his brother, the Senator, and his children, and addressing tho former, said: "There, there, John, it's pretty hard comfort the children." These words, so far as known, were his last.

At 1 o'clock there was a movement on the part of the dyintf warrior, as he lay on his camp-bed in the center of the larfrc apartment where he has been confined since last Sunday. and a noise came from his lips as if ho was trying to speak. The physician bent over him. but the noise had stopped. lie said it was the mucus on tho lunjjs, aud when it was heard a few moments later the doctor said, with his head on the grand old soldier's breast: "The end is not far off."

For nearly half an hour there was no movement on tlie part of the dying man. About l:b"», about live minutes before the end. there was just the suggestion of a movemeut of the (ieneral's arm and a moan came from his lips. The sound was like that of a man attempting to speak, but changed to a low gurgling noise. Tho physician in tho room readied over and watched the patient's face closely for a moment. Then he turned tothe weeping relatives clustered about the couch and said quietly: ''The (ieneral is dead.'

At the bedside were his son, !J. T. Sherman, his daughters, Rachel and Lizzie. Lieutenant and Mrs. Fitch, Lieutenant and Mrs. Thackara, Senator John Sherman. Dr. Alexander and General Thomas Kwing. The two daughters remained kneeling, one at cach side of the bed. during the last hours of the life of their father. No priest or clergyman was present, neither were any called. No priest has entered the house since Father Taylor called.

The (ieneral did not suffer any pain for the last two days. All night long he lay in bed with his head high, but toward morning he worked his head lower, until ut last he lay perfectly flat. Death came so quietly that those at the bedside did not realize that the Genoral was dead until l)r. Alexander said: "All is ov-r." Death came with one long sigh. Suffocation, due to the lungs filling with mucus, was the cause.

Immediately after his death Generals Howard and Slocuin, who were on General Sherman's staff, were sent for. Some two weeks ago the General made

known

-33

his wishes as to his burial. He

particularly requested that his bod3' should uot lie in state anywhere. He also requested that the funeral be a strictly military one. He said that ho did not* care particularly for any military observances here in New York, but that ho did want a military burial in St Louis, which would be participated In by his old comrades in arms. He also requested that the funeral rites be not in conformity with any particular form of religion. He wanted a soldier's burial. The body is now lying embalmed iu the room where the General died—the back room on the second floor. The features are natural, with the exception -of a slight swelling on the rifcht jaw and under both eye*

Johnston, Vice-President Morton, Justice Harlan, (ieneral Alger. James G. Blaine ami ex-Pres'ulent Hayes. In addition to these there were telegrams from the foreign Ministers and heads of various State departments from all over the country and Kurope.

The outward mark of respect that was shown iu New York City upon the announcement of *lhe death of General Sherman was the universal raising of Hags at half-mast on all the public buildings, the newspaper offices and on many .stores and private residences. Dispatches from all parts of the country state that Governors and State and local authorities generally have issued proclamations and have taken other otlicial recognition of the death.

Ft NKKAK AllltA NO KMKN 1'S. Preliminary arrangements for the funeral have been made. The cortege will form ot 1 o'clock on Thursday next at the house on West Seventy-first street, and move promptly at *2 o'clock. The funeral services proper will beheld in St. Louis.

Tin? interment will be iu Calvary Cemetery, SL Louis, in the family plot, beside the body of Mrs. Sherman and those of his two sons, William. Jr., who died when he. was 0 years old. and Charles, who was boru and who died during the march to the sea, and whom the (ieneral never saw.

The funeral in St. Louis will be strictly military in character. On account of the expressed wish ot (ieneral Sherman when alive, it was decided not to comply with the request of )'resident Harrison that the body be taken to Washington and there lie in state for a day. It will not lie in state anywhere.

The casket is oak covered with black cloth and lined with white satin. The handles are plain silver bars, and on the lid is a plate of plain silver on which Is inscribed the name, "William Tecumseh Sherman." and the date of his birth and death. While being trans ported from here to St- Louis the casket will be placed in a polished oak box with silver trimmings. The body is now lying embalmed in the room where the General died. It is covered with an American flag.
