What DIR. Douglas Says About the
Case.
NEW YoRK, April 3O.-About 10 o'clock
last night Gen. Grant slept and the sleep
continued unbroken uutil o'clock this
morning. AT that hour he swoke, but soon
slept again and continued to sleep until s
o'clock this o-uing. Ths patient enjoyed
nearly ifnot quite nine hours sleep and only
FIVE mipims OF morphine were given Dr.
Douglas was asked this morning if the
cancer at the base of the tongue had not
improved with the general betterment of the
patient and if the cancerous lump was an
open gore.
In replying he said he could not affirm
that there was an improvement of the can
Ger. 1t was difficult to tell about that.
The eaneerous lump was not an open sore.
The darting pains that have their seat in
the cancerous lump on the tongue still con-
tinued, but were not so frequent not 80
severe ss they had been, in response to
further questions the doctor could not say
that the infrequently aud lessened severity
Of these pains indicated an improved condi.
ton Of 1he cancer. There was in every
way an improved condition aside from the
cancer relative to which the doctor declined
to speak further than stated.
The General Working.
Gen. Grant omitted his drive to-day in
order that he might defer his time to the
preparation Of matter for his book. The
General dictated and his utterances were
taken by stenographer.
General Grant still continues to improve
in health. In an interview with Col. Grant
this evening he said: The General dc
tated to the stenographer for nearly an
hour enough matter to make about % or
% pages OF his book. He is now debating
the Appomsttox campaign, and from
his dispatches and other data, is
enabled to give perfectly straight
and lucid accounts to the stenograther.
He is without doubt looking and feeling
better than he has at any time since De.

Grnfting Canine Flesh Into Human.

New YORK, April 3O.--An unusual oper-
alton has just been performed at Bellevue
Hospital 1t was in the case Of young
woman who was taken there two months
ago, suffering from severe burns on her
right arm The usual treatment did no
good, and the muscles of the arm gradually
wasted away until she was unable to move
her hand or forearm, and there was danger
that the arm would have to be amputated.
One Of the physicians concluded to graft in
the wounded arm some healthy muscular
tissue from dog.
The young woman was put under the in
Auence of ether and piece of muscle cut
from the leg of a live dog was neatly IN
serted in her arm. 1t is thought that a
union OF the muscular tissuei is taking place,
but it Will be several weeks before it can be
determined whether the operation is a sue
cess or not. The patient does not know of
the grating of the dogs muscle to her arm.
The operation has never before been at
tempted in this country. There is record
Of one foreign case, which was successful.

KoMARoFF EXPLAINS

How 1t Was His Forces Attacked the
Afghans.
Sr. PETERSBURG, April 30.-The Official
Messenger publishes the following telegram
from General Komaroff despatched from
Askabad on Tuesday last: "a telegram
forbidding the occupation of Penjdeh
reached me March %. ! only communi-
Gated it to the commanders of the outposts
and did not make it generally known.
Gen. Zacrezoski, with my permission,
interviewed by correspondents some British
official in private capacity. l did not sd-
NIT the right to treat officially. | ad
dressed my demands direct to the COM
mspder Of the Afghan forces. Gen.
Alikhanoff with sotnia of Turcomas, rode
in the direction of Morkals along the river
bank on the Russian side. 1t was by no
means my intention to advance on Penjdeh.
One company of Russians marched on the
heights on the right bank of Murghab river,
but not in reach of our videttes,
on the left bank of the same river. When
the Afghans approached, however, this one
company by my orders returned to camp.
Gen. Komarof thus concludes his dis
patch In view of constant movements
over hundreds of versts of territory, and
owing also to heavy foods, it is impossible
to furnish regular reports.
The Peoples Patriotism Tried.
LONDON, April 3O.-The forecast of Mr..
Childers of the deficit in the budget for the
ensuing year, which is estimated at II, ,932,-
900 pounds, has created created sensa-
tion. 1t is the largest deficit since the Cri-
mean war. Mr.. Childers said It would re.
uuire great demand on the patriotism
OF the people. The government will
guarantee the synopsis of the budget. The
inc,ease of income tax to 8 pence will it is
estimated, yield G5, 100000; the modiica-
lions of probate and legacy duties and
other property taxes El50,OO0; the duties
on spirits 100000, and duty on beer $780,
coo.
The remainder of the deficit will be met
by suspending payments towards the reduc,
tiou oflhe national debt and the stopping Of
the sinking fund. The balance of the deficit,
2,Sl2,OOO pounds, will be dealt with next
year.
