the funeral. The pallbearers are yet to
be selected.
: An offer to send a detachment OF troops
from Governors Island was refused by
ID. p. Hayes on behalf Of the family.
Burial in all probability will take place
in Arlington Cemetery. Mr.. Hayes said
last night il was a lifelong wish OF Cen
eral Sickes to be buried with his old
comrades with whom he fought in the

Among his effects was found note
written by the general. in which he told
