WASHINGTON, July 5th-5:30 P. M.-Bul.
letins have been issued regularly oday in re-
gard to the Presidents condition, all of the
same tenor-a general improvement in symp.
toms and everything favorable for the ulti-
mate recovery of the Chief Magistrate
Following are the latest reports:
7:3o P. M-The Presidents pulse remains
a. 104, and there are no unfavorable symp-
toms. He is now resting quietly Hillyard,
of the United States Coast and Geological
Survey. has been consulted with view to
the adoption, if practicable, of some plan for
the artificial refrigeration of the Presidents

morrow morning, unless in case of an uufav.
orable change. ID. w. BLISS,
Il. REYBURN,
j. II. BARNES,
J.J. WOODWARD.
10 p N.-The President is resting quietly,
and sleeping more than half the time. The
physicians refuse to admit any visitors. The
family have retired for the night. The crowd
have dispersed from about the gates to the
White House, for the first time since the
shooting. A few newspaper men only linger
around. 1t is generally accepted as fact
that no danger is apprehsaded to night.
IL P. M.-The condition of the President
throughout the day has been such as to give
great encouragement to bis physicians The
nou1ishment which he has taken at intervals
has been assimilatsd perfectly, and has no.
ticeably increased his strength. The Presi-
dent has slept frequently. and with apparent
refreshment, and decrease in temperature
and pulse has relieved all present appTehen-
sion of serious Inflammation. The transient
uufavorable reaction which caused so much
unessiness last night. between 6 and 9
o'clock, aud which it was thought might
occur ;.gain tonight, has not thus far taken
place. The favorable symptoms to day have
continued throughout the hours of the even
lug. nave lIOhcu niuSb CiltI-
cal, and this fact is thought by the attending
physicians to indicate substantial gain.
At the present hour III P. NJ the President
is quiet and comfortable, ard his symptoms
are as favorable as at the date of the last off
cial bulletin.
Ills P. M.-The President had, as was ex-
pected, a slight relapse this evening, caused
by his drinking ice-water and vomiting. He
rested quietly. however. The heat is saffo-
eating.
Midnight.-Informatio just received from
the Presidents sick room is to the effect that
the favorable symptoms stated at the date of
the last official bulletin lat II P. NJ are still
maintained.
1:S0A. M.-At this moment the attendants
in the sick room report no noticeable change
10 the Presidents condition since midnight.
ga. M.-At this hour the watchers in the
Presidents room cannot be seen. Drs Bliss
and Woodward, the only attendant physi-
clans remaining at the Executive Mansion,
are both asleep in the physicians room, ad-
joining the sick room so everything is re-
garded as satisfactory.
The Presidents suffrrings.
WASHINGTON, July 5th.-Colonel Crump.
who is constantly by the side of the Presi-
dent waiting on him, says he suffers great
deal of pain, and that the pain is incessant.
The President is restless and feverish, and
frequently asks to be moved from one side of
the bed to the other and have his position
changed frequently. 1t extorts groans from
the sufferer, but he is careful to give no signs
of suffering when any of his family are pres
ent
A Pleased Physician.
NKw YORK, July 5th.-Dr. Hamiltons
face frightened as he read to-day's dispatches,
and he cried cheeriiy, 1.-THE President is bet
ter, thank God" The cry was echoed by the
ladies. The eminent surgeon shook hands
with DIR. Bosemon, and said " I'm so glad
to get this direct news / see he is sleeping
at times, and gets much needed rest. That
and the condition of his pulse are favorable
symptoms. The patient had been given
quarter of grain hypodermic injection of
morphine but before left the quantity was
diminished by half, and yet he sleeps and bis
pulse grows better. This is an important and
gratifying fact. The natural rest possible
under this treatment shows that nature is
asserting herself and that nothing is lost, if
nothing is gained. A reaction is probable,
but the doctors are battling with the enemy.
We cannot count on the future. Another
good sign is the stoppage of vomiting. 1t is
now thought proper to give sustenance, and
it is also victory to drive the pains in the
legs and feet away. I shall call the crisis
passed when the President gets entirely well.
An abscess will form where the bullet is.
The trouble will be over when that is past.
Laymeu may show as good sense and judg.
