upon his stomach that if it would retain
nourishment enough to regain its strength his
| final recovery ought to be hoped for. In view
of this statement Of the case another spell OF
vomiting is regarded generally as most I'M
favorable symptom.
SEVENTH DISPATCH.l
WASHINGTON, August 21st-Despite the
explanations given by the surgeons OF the
cause Of the vomiting. there is general dis
position to take a gloomy view of the case.
The marked reticence Of the surgeons and at
tendants of the President tonight tends to
increase this feeling. They have remained
shut up in the rooms near the President, ex-
cept that two or three of the attendants
passed through the Private Secretary's office;
but they would not say anything about the
case The efforts to get even word from
Doctor Agnew failed. He declined to be
seen, or send any message as to his opinion,
simply referring inquirers to the bulletins.
Whenever the President appears to be doing
well it is not difficult to see the surgeons and
attendants. Tonight all the members of
the Cabinet met at the White House, and
they have remained close in the Cabinet
room. There is a significant quiet prevail
ing at the White House. The countenance
of the inmates indicate feeling of uneasi-
ness, to say the least. There is fear preva-
lent that the President is too weak to be
nourished much longer by enamata. although
DIR. Bliss says this method has so far proven
eminently successful, and that the President
really gains some strength from it.
EIGHTH DISPATCH.l
WASHINGTON, August 21st-Dr. BoYnton
said about $3.50 o'clock to night that it was
well TO admit that this vomiting spell Of the
President might portend serious results; that
| while it was doubtless true that severe cough
| ing had brought on the vomiting, it might
indicate continued weakness of the stomach,
and that unless the Presidents stomach will
admit of his taking nourishment into it from
now on, the case would look desperate.
Boynton thought that tomorrow would de-
eide the case one way or another.
Soon after DR.. Bliss admitted substantially
that the condition of the case tomorrow
would be likely to show whether the Presi
dent could recover or not. He expressed
himself as feeling hopeful, but said the Presi-
dent should be able to receive nourishment
in the natural way if he is to recover. He
believed that tomorrow would probably
show favorable turn, and if so, there would
be ground for hope. If, on the contrary, the
stomach should revolt against food, the case
will look badly.

TENTH DIsPATCH.I
WASHINGTON, August Dist. = General
Swain was asked tonight if the features of
the day were to be interpreted as justiica-
ton for immediate alarm. mo, L think
not" was the reply. "The President tells
me that he has had no nausea, and that his
stomach was all right. He lies there on his
back and sleeps, and the saliva runs down
his throat and tickles it, making him cough
and strain to get it out. That is the origin of
the present trouble.
DR.. Boynton was also asked if he was
alarmed by the symptoms manifested to-day.
"No," he said, mot alarmed; but very
anxious. It puts US on the anxious seat"
ELEVENTH DIsPATCH.J
WASHINGTON, August st-After detail
ing the symptoms in the Presidents case, Dr.
Boynton was asked:
"Are there any other features of the days
history that have attracted especial atten-
ton %
"Nothing. except increased weakness He
is little weaker than he was last night. He
finds it little more difficult to move his
limbs, and his pulse huctuates more from
time to time. His mind also seems to be

time before going to sleep tonight his mind
was wandering, and at times, after waking,
it is sometimes few minutes before he re-
gains consciousness 80 as to know what is
going on around him. / look forward with
greater anxiety to the developments of the
next twelve hours than / have felt for some
time. If the surgeons are able to administer
food by the mouth tomorrow morning, and
it is retained, there will be reason for re-
newed encouragement"

Washington special says: Mrs. Garfield did
not leave the White House for her daily
drive, and the children remained indoors.
Captain Henry, who returned from Ohio
only few days ago, is said to have gone
back, and an uncon6rmed rumor has it that
he has gone to bring on the Presidents
mother and two young children. Should
that rumor prove true, it will reveal unmis-
takably the feeling of those who have access
to the sick room.
