weather. he thought, might have caused
fAe cough, and as the General had secured
so nnuch sleep recently, he would naturally

. NATURE OF TIE COUGH.
One of the physicians says tie cough
heretofore mentioned is caused ~ irrita-
ton OF the lungs, and is of hacking na-
ture. The only bad effect which it has, had
as yet is that it wahens the General when
he is only half asleep, and therefore inter
feres with his rest. 1t may be due 10 con-
gestion, OF to the same suffusion which
produced the 0dema, or again it may be of
nervous nature. There has been no re-
currence whatever of the heart trouble

WAsHINGToN, May 30th.-General Sheri-
dan, about P. NJ. tonight, had relapse
that is causing the greatest alarm to his.
physicians At that time he was seized
with coughing spell, which continued in
violence resisting all attempts to overcome
it, and finally resulting in a return of the
heart trouble. He has been delirious dur
ing the night, and was only quieted by the
use of narcotics. This is the one trouble
which the doctors have feared, and it is
doubtful il the General has gained suffi-
cient strength in the past few days to rally
from this attack. All his physicians are
with him now, and so busy at his bedside
that they refuse to issue further bulletins
tonight The indications around Sheri-
dams house tonight are OF the most de-
spondent character.
