EXECUTIVE MANSION, Z p. m.-The morn
ing bulletin, which mentioned that the Pres
ident had vomited twice during the night
'c.eated considerable apprehension through
ont the city, and numerous inquiries were
made at the Mansion as to the cause of it
The attending surgeons explained that the
vomiting was occasioned by the collection o.
phlegm in the throat and that no serious con
sequsnces were expected to follow. Th'
first disturbance of the stomach occurred
about 10 o'clock, but it was not noticed Al
being of any importance. but when i
occurred second time, about 2 a. M, i
I was was at first considered to b.
very unfavorable. Soon after th'
/ second occurred, however, the patien
asked for and was given quantity of milk
! porridge, which he retained without ditficu
ty Not long after taking this he partook o.
some squirrel broth, which he appeared t.
relish very much.
One of the attendants upon Preslden
Seported during the morning that the CLAN
<aular affection was decreasing rapidly, ant
faaat the wound was discharging trifie mor'
freely than il had been recently. 1t ap

charge from the gland ceases the flow o
pus from the wound increases. No notlcea
BILE change in the character of the woun(
has yet taken place.
| DR.. Boynton, during the course of an IN
terview to-day, expressed the opinion tina
the President was, Notwithstanding tn
/ gastric disturbance which, he experienced
during the night, somewhat bette
than yesterday. Speaking about the faclll
ties at Long Branch, the doctor said
would probably be necessaryato have two o.
three cottages to accommodate the patien
and those who would have to accompan
him. 1t is understood to be the intention
to have guard around the patients quar-
ters at Long Branch, similar to that whicl
has been kept about the Executive Mansion
and admittance to the neighborhood of tn
Presidents family will only be allowed t
! SNcu D0ISOHS rs Hldy pttSsSo.
DIR. Boynton does not attribute any par
ticular importance to the fact of the Presi
dents having vomited last night, inasmucl
as he had been taking nourishment as usus
ever since without difficulty. The docto
says it may be considered as natural con
sequence, and as it was due solely to tn
secretion of phiegm, it will not material
change the Presidents general condition
IL hoc hn
iting occurred. 1t is said by those intimat
with the family that Mrs Garfield is mucl
pleased with the idea of the Presiden
being conveyed from the influences of tn
malarious atmosphere which surrounds tn
White House to more healthful locality
1t is generally considered by those acquainte
with the facts that the President ~ill be re
moved between tomorrow and Wednesday
providing no setback occurs, and he re
mains in as good candit;on as he is at pres
ent, and the weather is favorable.
Attorney General MacVeigh said this after
noon that he did not consider that the gastri
troable of last night would interfere in an
manner with the Presidents removal.
Dr. Reyburn, in conversation with reI
resentative of the Associated Press thi
afternoon, said the patient was as well a
could reasonably be expected. The vom11
ing which occurred last night had entaile'
no unfavorable results. There had bee
more or less trouble at different times re
Gently from secretion of phlegm in tn
! throat. he said, but no particula
| importance had been attached thereto
because the occurrence did not any i
serious way affect the stomach. In reply t
| q question as to when the President woul
| probably be moved, DIR. Reyburn said b
thought not before Wednesday, but that tn
earliest opportunity would be taken advan
tape of. OF course, concluded the doctor
