MOUNT McGREGoR, June 1S.-General
Grants condition has not materially
changed from that of yesterday. DR..
Sands arrived this morning and atnoon
he and DR.. Douglas were with General
Grant.
After DR.. Douglas had attended Cen
eral Grant at l O'Clock this morning, the
General fell asleep and slept the greater
part of the time until O'clock Then
DR.. Douglas again treated his throat
with cecoaine and left him to doze,
which he did until O'Clock. He was
dressed at 10 o'clock, but remained in
doors and at noon had not appeared
outside. The physician said the GEN
erals condition this morning was not
worse than yesterday, so far as related
to the local trouble. The Generals
voice, he thought, was somewhat i'm
proved this morning. The loss of his
voice has been the cause of despondency
with General Grant since Sunday last.
Yesterday he could make himself heard
with words. but when, as the day
advanced, his voice again completely
failed, the general was greatly despon-
dent. This added to the bad results of
too much exercise yesterday, and both
of these supplemented by extreme men
tai agitation late in the afternoon and
evening, furnish an explanation of the
note to his family and physicians and the
ground on which Dr. Douglas sum-
moned DR.. Sands to come. DR.. Sands,
arrived at 11.30 this morning and he and
Dr. Douglas are now (1,30 p. m.) with
the general Dr. Douglas and Sands
finished their examination of the gen.
eral throat at 12.45 o'clock. The gen.
eral then appeared on the piazza, where
the family were awaiting him, to join
with them and have a family picture
taken. Sitting for the picture the gen.
erat remained on the piazza reading the
morning papers. In the meantime the
doctors were in consultation. They had
found the generals pulse to be Y. Dr.
Sands found no particular change IN
the condition of thelthroat since Sunday,
Both doctors believe there is no imme-
diate danger.
