The right despatch was dated 10
o'clock and was as follows:
Wliii the President made no gain
bis loss Of ground has been less in the
iVignent Of his physicians than was
safgl last night. In this aspect there
sa slight feeling of encouragement, or
b, leata ray Of hope. The adverse
symptoms a.e still manifest, and the
one favorable Indication Of swallowing
and lig.aing liquid food continues.
Two or .hres times during tie day he
has asked for nourishment. BE has
spoken lnleApently and voluntarily,
and throughout the day his mind has
been less Affected than yesterday.
The expec;d relief 10 the parotid
swelling from the discharge through
the ear has not been relied. The
situation Is one Of great gravity and
danger BLAINE, Secretary.
