ANOTHER CRISIS WAS IMMINENT.


The pulse, respiration, and temperature rose
to the attitudes that told only too plainly the
gravity of the situation and the Cabinet. who
had gone away for q brief recreation, lulled into
security by the fact that the President had for
three days successively sat up, or rather had
been moved from his bed to reclining chair,
suddenly summoned to return.
The history of the case for the next three days
developed no features, or, rather, nothing
but what the public anticipated. There was a
recurrence of the rigOrs, two of which occurred
within a short period of time, and it was evident
to even the uneducated that the patients system
was rapidly breaking down. But although the
bulletins Were perhaps more truthful as to facts
within the supposed knowledge of the surgeons,
yet the unfayorable conditions were made known
chiefly through DR.. BoyntOn, one of the Pres-
dents most intimate friends and attendants who
never, so far as known, sought to deceive the
public in any manner. The DEATH which was
sudden, took place upon the night of the 10Th
and full account of the sad event will be found
upon the first page.

OF the whole number of interments indicated
above there are about $500 known and 1 800
unknown civilians, and 100 known and 5000
unknown confederates. OF these latter the greater
portion are buried at Wood Lawn Cemetery FL
mira, n. Y, and Finns Point Cemetery, near
Salem n. j. The interments at Mexico City are
mainly OF those who were killed or died in that
vicinity during the Mexican War; and include,
also such citizens of the United States as may have
died in Mexico, and who under treaty provision
have the right of burial therein. From the fore
going it will appear that after making all proper
deductions for civilians and contederates. there
are gathered, in the various places mentioned, the
