conversation with General Grant in
his cottage at Long Branch, August

my communication to the press, and
said to DIR. John p. Newton: Il con-
slider it now my duty to make known
a secret that have kept these twenty
years, and locate the responsibility
upon the proper parties. That order

Mt. MCGREGOR, N. Y, July 27.-
Reports which have been sent out in
regard to the condition of Mrs.
Grant are unduly alarming. She
expects to accompany the remains to
Albany, and no reason is known to-
the family why she should not do so.
Mrs. Grant has not till the last days
become convinced that no remarka-
bic cure was to be effected in the
Generals case, as she had believed,
and when his death occurred the eff.
feet of disappointed hope. combined
with the natural shock of her bereay-
ment produced a reaction from which

able her to mingIe as freely with the
family as before the Generals demise.

and depress her. She cannot be said
to be sick nor absolutely Frustrated,
There has been a reaction and no I'M
usual prOstration from the cause stat
ed has followed.

Mt. MCGREGOR, July 27.-At this
time everything showing how Gene
raj Grant bore himself in his last
days is of peculiar interest. In con-
versatiOn DR.. Newman related some
personal recOllectiOns of the General
in his sickness.
I'm looking back over his illness,''
DIR. Newman said, II think that
which is raost strikingy characteris-
tic is the fact that he left nothing un.
provided for. He was just as COM
prehensive in arranging for the flu

was in arranging his campaipns. He
