UNOFFICIAL BULLETINS.
I10.35 P, MI

tlV.oO +. M.
Tho day at the Executive Mansion has been
very quiet and there is little of interest to be
said regarding the Presidents condition beyond
what has been expressed by the attending sur
geons in the official bulletins. While the
morning bulletin was not received by the
public as the indication of much improvement
IN the patients case it occasioned little or no
alarm. The IL. 30 bulletin showing a decrease
in temperature of 5-10ths of degree and in
pulse of four beats occasioned an exceeding
sangulne feelings at the Mansion and through
out the city that the patient was improving
and as the predictions of the attending sur
geons had by 1t been proven to be correct the
expressions in all quarters were indicative of
general satisfaction with the progress of the
case. Early this afternoon DIR. Bliss reiterated
his statement that this improvement was most
likely to continue and barring accidents he
thought the Improvement of the patient during
the next few days would be perceptible. The
wound throughout the day has continued to
discharge freely and the pus is of perfectly
healthy character and is flowing from the
wound without the aid of the drainage tube.
Dr. Agnew arrived from Philadelphia about
IL O'CLOCK this morning and has been present
at the dressings of the wound which have oc-
CURED since that time. 1t having been stated
as TACT that the surgeons had determined to
perform an operation upon the President for
the purpose OF removing the ball DR.. Bliss
was asked tonight what authority there was
emphatic manner that there were no indications
that the ball was doing any mischief and that
until it is discovered that such is the case
there will be no attempt made to remove it,
Secretary Brown who has just come from
the surgeons room says that indications point
to good night for the President; that while
his pulse and temperature have not been
taken since the evening bulletin they are
noticeably lower. DR.. Bliss thought the pulse
was about lo2 with normal temperature.
During the day he has partaken of the usual
quantity of solid food. The night is cool and
pleasant, and there is every reason for believ-
ing that the President will have good nights
rest. He has already this evening had quite
a long and natural sleep. The White House
has just been closed to visitors, everything
being quiet and the attending surgeons, with
the exception of those who remain during the
night, having left for their respective homes
1875 P. NJ
1t was learned at the White House tonight
tnat the President had partaken of the usual
quantity of solid food during the day. At
late hour Col. Rockwell is reported to have
stated that the President had been troubled
somewhat during the day with nausea, and
had vomited several times.

DOING WELL.
The President Had a Slight
Relapse Saturday.
BUT HE is NOW QUITE COM
PORTABLE.

The President experienced slight set back
Saturday and his pulse went up to 1903, with
marked rise in temperature and respiration
occasioning an unusual febrile rise and dis
turbed slumber. This was caused by an i'm
perfect dressing Of the wound Friday night,
by allowing quantity of pus to remain in one
of the angles of the wound which arrested its
discharge for the time being. This trouble
however, was soon removed, and since then
the patient has been very comfortable. He
has partaken of the usual quantity of solid
food and has slept sweetly and naturally.
Yesterday he passed comfortable day, and
the attending physicians say there is no APP
parent obstacle to his steady improvement and
ultimate recovery of health, though it will
take great while to attain this greatly de-
sired end

lowed, denouncing the attitude of the Amer

DIR. HAMILToN,s STATEMENT.

He Thinks there is No Cause for ANXIETY
and that the President will Recover.
NEW YORK, Aug. lathe following is
printed as being dictated by DIR. Hamilton at
Washington on Saturday night:
There is not the slightest cause for the
anxiety felt by the public regarding the Presi-
dent. The slight fuctuation in pulse and
temperature which occurs from day to day has
no special significance. The causes are often
obscure but slight and transient, and ought not
to create in the public mind either alarm or
encouragement The public can judge better
as to his condition by the fact that from week
to week there is a general improvement. at
least it is safe to say, there is no general
change for the worse. Very decided improve
ment cannot be expected until the pus secret
ing surface is diminished in size, and or this
more time is required than has elapsed since
me Ia last lncision. You may assure the pu bic
that the President will recover if they will
only wait patiently for the result. 1t will be
reasonable to expect more rapid improvement
when the weather becomes a little cooler. Hot
weather is one of the greatest difficulties we
have to contend against.
