SCARED 70 DEATH.
How Sixth Infantry Soldier Died at
Santiago.


do you see that name. William s.
Sims, on the tablet up there?" said an
officer of the Sixth Infantry, pointing
to the Sixth Infantry tablet on the
face Of the water tower at Ft. Thom-
as. well, / want to tell you some
thing very queer concerning the death
of that man at Santiago
"Sims had gone through the hellish
fight on the 1st Of July, through all
the firing while we were in the
trenches up to the night of the 9Th,
when he was on outpost duty. The
outpost of each company consists Of
an officer, a non-commissioned officer
and three men. The detail was post
ed outside the trenches toward the
enemy to prevent a party sneaking
up on the trenches. One man on post
was posted about 90 yards in front OF
the rest of the party, that lay down,
one man being on the alert to listen
to the low call of the sentinel If he
heard any one coming toward him.
Well, about 10: 30 that night two shots
rang out in rapid succession, and all
was excitement in a moment, as there
had been no firing since early in the
afternoon, and all but a few were
asleep, worn out with the strain OF
tho past eight days.
Running up to that part of the FIR.
Ing line from whence the shots were
heard / saw several men handing
down over the top of the embankment
the body of a man. The doctor was
with me, and he asked where the man
was shot. The Lieutenant who was
In command of the outpost detail
| said: He Is not wounded, but he is
dead, Just the same and so 1t proved.
The doctor made a careful examina-
ton, aided by the bright starlight, and
not a wound was to be found on the
man, but his heart was still in death.
What was the matter? Heart dis
ease. It shut off like lightning, and
Sims never knew what killed him. The
men Of the party say they were all
lying down asleep except one man
He says when the sentinel fired his
shot at a supposed Spaniard ap
preaching all of the sleeping party
sprang up at once except Sims, who
sat up and then Immediately lay back
again The party rushed to the sup
port of the sentinel, and on their re
turn found Sims, as they supposed
asleep again, and on shaking him
found him not asleep, but dead. The
doctor said no doubt the man hat

= days that his weak heart simply

THE TWO CONVENTIONS.

The union republicans have post
poned their state convention. The date
fixed upon is April 8. This will allow
reasonable time for sincere harmon
izers to exert their influence between
the meeting of the regular republican
convention and the meeting OF the
union republican convention. There
should be disinterested efforts TO in
duce such action and nominations by
the first convention as will be not only
an invitation but encouragement and
inducement to the second convention
to subordinate faction. faction pur-
poses, faction ambition, faction resent
ment and every other opposing senti-
ment to party unity for party success,
Delegates to these conventions
should be sent thither and should go
as republicans; not as anti-Addicks
delegates; not as Addicks delegates
The purposes OF the republican party
are not individual
While the Evening Journal hoped
that the synchronous sessions OF the
two conventions as first called might
afford opportunity for unihcation, ther,
was always in sight the danger
of disagreement that would widen th'
