LINCOLN, Aug. 8.-President John
Fitzgerald, of the Irish National League
Of America, has sent the following tele.
gram of coincidence to Col. Michael Sher-
idan at Nonquitt:
The Irish National League of America
sympathises in your sad bereavement,
and begs you to convey to Mrs. Philip n.
Sheridan and family its coincidence in
the great affliction that has befalien them
in the death Of her gallant and beloved
husband. The Irish race unites with the
American people in the national sorrow
that mourns the loss of the Irish Amer
ican hero of Winchester, whose military
genius contributed SO much to save the
union, and whose devotion to Ireland was
second only to his love for America.

NoNQUITT, Mass, Aug. Cen. Sher-
dams death occurred at 1920 Sunday
evening. Previous to the sudden ap-
pearance Of heart failure, at about $3.50,
there had been no premonitions Of an un-
favorable change in his condition. The
weather had been warmer than usual,
and the general was at times little
restless, but seemed generally bright and
cheerful. His voice was strong,
he took full supply Of
nourishment, slept occasionally, as
usual, and the doctors and his family
were, in hopeful spirits At Z o'clock
Mss Sheridan and the doctors went to
the hotel for supper, and soon after their
return the usual preparations for the
night were made At about 9:2U Col.
Sheridan said ..good night to his brother
and went to the hotel, there having
been through the day no signs Of any un
favorable change in his condition.
At $50 symptoms Of heart failure
suddenly appeared, and Drs. O'Reilly
and Matthews, who were with him at
the time, Immediately applied the rem
edies which proved successful in all pre-
vious similar attacks, but this time they
were without effect, and despite all that
could be done the general gradually senk
into condition of complete unconsciou
ness, and at 1870 breathed his last.
Mrs. Sheridan, the Sisters Maban and
Justinian, and the faithful body servant,
Klein, were also at his bedside through
out his dying hours.

Regarding Gen. SheridaD's military
career do not know that can say any
thing to add to his fame. Both Grant
and Sherman have taken occasion in
their memoirs to speak OF Sheridan in the
highest terms, and consider the esti-
mates of these two chief commanders are
just, and their praise well deserved.
Grant knew Sheridan best, and his trib-
ute to the gallant subordinate is one OF
the many touches which have revealed to
us the true character and generous ma
ture of the greatest soldier Of his time.
Every officer have ever met, whatever
rank they might have held, who served
under Sheridan in the West or the East,
have shown by their language that they
loved and honored him. That is some
thing you cannot say fOr every man VINO

LONDON, Aug. 8.-All Of the evening
papers speak regretfully Of Gen. Sheri-
dams death, and in recounting his deeds
praise him for his brilliancy as COM
mander and tactician. The Globe is
especially kind, and it eulogizes him at
length. It commends him highly for his
ability to control volunteers, and thinks
that the legacy tho. wilt be left by such
men as Sheridan, Grant, Sherman and
Lee is this: That volunteers may be
trusted, but it is madness to leav them
unframed and unprepared.
