his present condition.
UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Executive MANSION, II m.-Col~
onel r ckwell, who has just come
from the Presidents chamber, says
that the patient is resting very COM
fortably and he considers that he is
doing as we'll as could reasonably be
expected under the circumstances.
In response to question whether
there had been or would be any
further operations performed on
the President, he said No, there
has been but one operation and,
judging from present indications, we
do not antic pate that any more will
be necessitated." Continuing, the
| Colonel said that, at the morning
dressing of the wound, the surgeons
took several small pieces of bone
from the wound, which were supS
posed to be from a fractured rib.
A rumor has been circul ,ted that
the President had another chill this
morning. Those who are thor
oughly acquainted with the facts,
however, deny the story, and say that
the President has had no chills since
those which occurred previous to the
incision. DIR. Agnew has been
here all the morning. One of the
consulting surgeons will be in at
tendance daily for the present. DIR.
Hamilton is requested to return to-
night, at which time, unless some un-
foreseen emergency arises, DIR. Ag-
new will probably again return to
Philadelphia.
Secretary Blaine sent the follows
ing to Minister Lowell: "The Presi
dents symptoms at noon to day are
favorable. Several small pieces of
shattered rib came from the wound
this morning while dressing it,
UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
| EXECUTIVE MANSION, 22o p. m.-
The reports which have been tele-
graphed hence to-day to the effect
that serious operation was per-
formed this forenoon for the purpose
of removing part of the Presidents
fractured rib, are without founda-
ton. The wound has not been
touched since the morning dressing,
and the only operation performed
then was the pulling out by Dr.
Bliss with his finger of two or three
small apecula of splintered bone,
which clogged the passage, and
imp teded the outflow of the pus.
The su geons do not admit that
there is anything cri ical or danger
ouse in the condition of the Presi-
dent this afternoon. On the con-
trary, they say that he has had
fairly comfortable day; that tue dis
charge from the wound this morn
ing, although not large, was not so
scanty as to indicate any new CONS
plication; that the patient at this
hour, z 20 p. m, is free from fever
and is res ing quietly, and that his
general condition Is at least as good
as it was yesterday.
