AMBER

washington, IA gentleman
from New York. who arrived in this
city this morning, says there is an
impression among persons in that
city that the bulletins issued regard
Ing the Presidents condition are
more or less colOred for the purpose
OF allaying public apprehension. He
also saws that many persons incline
to the opinion that the original tele-
grams sent from time to time to Drs.
Agnew and Hamilton, consulting
physicians, regarding the Presidents
condition, are not given out for pub
LEGATION, and that kilograms purport-
ing to be copies of those sent to the
consulting physicians, are prepared
for the purpose of preventing any
undue excitement, and consequently
do not give the condition of the
President as it really appears. These
theories, is they do exist, are en-
tirely erroneous, inaSmuch as the
official bulletins issued are written
by the physicians in charge and
contain the Presidents true cOndi-
ton at the time of issuance. This
same plan is adopted with regard
to the information which is dis
patched to consulting physicians.
In both instances the contents are
invariably telegraphed to the press
from original copies. Is is not the
intention of the attending physi-
clans to express any opinion in the
bulletins issued, but merely to con-
vey to the public the patients true
condition from time to time.
Executive Mansion, 6 a.m.-The
Presidents symptoms continue
favorable. He slept well, has no
fever and is quite comfortable.
Executive Mansion, S a.m.-The
President has passed a comfortable
night and his condition shows i'm
prOyement over that of yesterday.
Pulse 9S, temperature 99-2, reSpira-
ton 22-7. Bulletins will be issued
daily at am, pm, and in the
evening until further notice.
Executive Mansion 1 p.m.-The
favorable progress of the Presidents
case continues. Pulse 100, tempera-
ture 99-S, respiration "a.

Unofficial bulletin. Executive
Mansion, midnight, lo.-The Presi-
dent has passed quiet day, but had
a little more fever than usual this
afternoon. He has taken twenty
five ounces of milk, one ounce of
rum and a piece of milk toast dur
ing the day without any indications
of gastric disturbance, and has
slept at intervals fairly well. Since
the date of the last official
bulletin his pulse and temperature
have fallen about to the mean of
the past three days, and he is now
sleeping quietly. His room through |
out the day was kept at a steady
temperature Of 750. On two differ
ent occasions, by way of experiment, |
the temperature was lowered to 100, |
but each time the President COM
planned of being too cool. After |
ten days of WEAKNESS, danger, heat |
and suffering, he remains brave and
cheeful, as at first, and is only re-
strained by his physicians orders
from talking with those about him.
The refrigerating machine is now
into the room 10000 cubic
'eet of air per hour, at temperature
If 75o.
Executive Mansion, II, pm
Fhe President has had rather more
lever this afternoon; in other re-
,pects his condition is unchanged.
Pulse 1eS, temperature 1929, respi-
