and he is now asleep. His pulse at this hour
is 100, and he has neither fever nor any other
unfavorable symptoms.
well, and that instead of anybody feeling un-
easy about the operation, it was cause for
more hope, as it will help the case. Drs.
Bliss and Reyburn both said that the increase
of fever had been due to the accumulation of
pus, and that they were satisfied the operation
would relieve and reduce the fever. After the
performing of the operation at 1890 a. m.
the surgeons issaed the above bulletin sent in
these dispatches. Drs. Hamilton and Agnew
will remain here until tonight, anyhow; Gen.
Swain left the Presidents side at 1890 o'clock.
He said the President was enjoying a refre sh-
ing sleep, and that the operation was not more
than pulling tooth; that it would no doubt
show good effects at once.
REPORTS OF THE PHYSICIANS
At noon Western Associated Press agent
saw DR.. Bliss, who said: owe are we'll salts
fed with the Presidents present condition and
prospects. When left few moments ago
he wassleeping.sHe had!recovered from the ef-
fects of the etherization and was resting calm

twelfth rib and the pus instead of flowing di-
rectly accumulated In cavity. Now, this
morning we cut in-not very deep-so as to
bring about a continual flow of pus. There is
no reason in the world for any uneasiness. The
President is doing well. This operation is one
cf the necessary incidents of the case. The
President will be much better think tonight
than he has been any evening yet. We are
satisfied with his condition. We decided not
to give him any nourishment until this after
neon.
DECIDED AMELIORATIoN EXPECTED.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Secretary Blaine
sent the following telegram tonight to Low
ell, minister, London: The Presidents cond-
ton tonight is considered by the physicians
as encouraging. The increase of pulse and
temperature is egarded as a natural result of
the radical operation of this morning,
in which a deep incision three inches in
length on the surface was made. The same
cause may possibly produce still higher
pulse and temperature tomorrow, after which
a decided amelioratiou is confidently antiei-
tpaed by the surgeons. (Signed

effects of this mornings surgical operation

now able to take his usual quantity of nour-
ishment-milk with limewater. The nausau
passed away, and later in the day he had meat
juice and extract, but was allowed no solid
food. His pulse, probably as result OF the
gastric disturbance, was rather higher this
afternoon, reaching ITO. His temperature did
not rise correspondingly until about time for

ature Was more pronounced than usual,
but was fully accounted for in the
Judgment of the surgeons by the operation
and nervous excitement, and by nausea and
othe- effects, caused anxiety. Early in the af
ternoon the fever began to subside, and he
vert to sleep without anodyne. Since

moist and healthy in tone. His temperature is
not more than half degree above normal,
and he continues to sleep quietly.

haye good refreshing night, and that
entirely free from fever. 1t is
possible there may be considerable fehrile
disturbance again tomorrow before be begins
to permanently improve, but the ultimate result
of to-day's operation is expected to be a
marked and decided change for the better.
