Man- le the sowe- The Stricken Wil shes No Puplic Fune comes New York, Feb g —The whole country was shocke this atternooa by theb ‘ i Adjutant General Whipple on Gov ernor’s Island announcing the death ot Gen. Winfield S. Hancock, senior Major general in the United States army and commander of the military division of the Atlantic. The sad intelligence was immedi- ately conveyed to the remotest cor ners ot the country, and as it by magic the flags appeared at half mast on the various public buildings in the city. W5thin an hour the tel egraph wire leading into the head quarters was burdened with messages ot condolence of sympathy with the bereaved widow, whose grief 1s over whelming, and of tributes to the gen eral’s private and public virtues as a ic message from citizen, as well as to his preatness as a@ commander, Che news of his death was all the ' regular and he eral kad cheerfully issisted his phy their dir c sicians their su; tion was ala vreater last « vening portion of the night, so that hope of ultimate recovery Was by no means abandoned, Oiiver Russell, the general's broth erin law, watched by bis bedside and dui not change until this morning between 4 and 5 o’clock when the general be came restless and was unable to take notice any decided either medicine or nourisen.ent. In the consultation of physicians which was held this morning the doc tors were unanimous in their diag— nosis of what soon after proved to be death. This was to the effect that the general was rapidly sinking from exh :usion caused by the loss of vi tality incident to the terrible strain upon his constitution made by the carbuncle, complicated and aggra- vated by chronic diabetes. The general soon fell into what appeared to be a quiet stu nhber. General James BR.

The death of General Hancock wis not only a surprise to his family —it was a shock to them as to his friends. THE FATAL ILLNESS BEGINS. Twenty days age the general start- ed on busirkss connected with the department ot the Atlantic to Phila- delphia, where he remained two days. Then he proceeded to Wash- ington, where hehad business. In that city a boil developed itself on the Back of his neck. It was lanced January go, and as the general was much inconvenienced by its presence he returned to New York sooner than he had designed. Jouring the first week in February the boil developed into a malignant _@rbuncle, which suppurated con- stantly and prevented rest or sleep. Dr. Janeway was called, and it was not until marked weakness resulted from the presence ot the carbuncle that the surgeon discovered that the general was suffering from diabetes and kidney troubles. Dr. Janeway called into consulta- tion Dr. Southerland, medical direc tor of the department.and Dr. D. M Stimson of New York. The medical men concluded that the case was assuming a very serious form on yesterday but at 10 o'clock last night, betore going away, Dr. Janeway found his patient in good spirits and able to assist himselt, and left hin apparently improved. At 6:45 oclock this morning Mrs. Hancock dispatched an orderly for Dr. Janeway as the general was sinking rapidly. The doctor came speedily and found the general in a Comatose state with a teeble pulse all premonitory symptoms of death Present. Ue summoned the two physicians already named, Hypodermic injections of brandy and ether and carbonate ammonia were administered. These,however only alleviated the suffering Of the selaier, who was gradually away until death was touched at 2245. In the words ot Dr. Janeway, “The general went down to the close ef his life like a person descending a fight ot stairs.”’ When death came toe three phy- sicians and the hospital steward were the only persons present.

The soprowing spectators of this peaceful and impressive scene were siill standing there as though trans- fixed, when the cathedral clock on the mantle in the sitting room below suunded in its three sweet toned strokes. Thea they fully realized that all was over and the sad intelli- gence was publicly announced, General Hancock lay on the bed in the easy, natural position in which he died, in that simple second story chamber with its windows facing west and south. The general’s head was toward the north, in whose cause of national integsity he had rendered such con- spicious and important seryice on those tamous battle fields of the re- bellion with which the-honor of the union and his own renown must be torever linked together. His face was turned toward the south, whose affections he had tairly won after the war was over by his wise, beneficent and supremely just administration of affairs during the reconstruction pe- riod, when,acting under martial law and clotned with all power which that imphes,he kept his sword within us sheath and asserted the suprema- cy of civil taw. As far as could be learned no def- inate arrangements tor the funeral have been agreed upon up to a late hour to-mght. It was stated by one of the staff officers that Mrs Hancock had expressed herselt as being op- posed to a military funeral; that it was her desire that the funeral ar- tangements should be as simpie and unostentatious as possible. summons came and the The place for interment has not y‘t been fixed upon, out the general beliet is that Norristown, Pa., where the general’s parents and only daugh- ter Ada, are, will be selected. It 1s o said that Mrs. Hancock is op- d to having the body embalmed and to its lying in state. In conversation with one of the officers to-night, that gentleman stat- ed that in all probability only the imnied:ate relatives and most i: mate friends would be invited to at- tend the obsequies, and that only eight or ten officers of his staff anda small detachment of soldiers woula accompany the remains to the grave.
