been generally known that General Hau-
cock was i'll, and his death was unex-
pected. He was in Washington a week
ago, and was obliged to return without
paying his respects TO the President. The
csrbuncle which caused his death made its
appearance on the neck at the base OF the
brain. He has been siling some time, and
has been unable actively TO attend to his
military duties on the island. He suffered
from q complication Of diseases, but still
fought against his ailment, but the recent
Developments Of the carbuncle while at
Washington compelled him to remain in
the house, but from this attack he did not
rally, and his condition had been con-
| sidered precarious for a day or wo. His
only son died last Autumn, and since then
he has not been given strength TO resist
disease with the desermipat he had pre-
yiously exhibited. When he expired his
wife was beside him. General Hsncock's
