NEW YORK, April General Grants con-
dition to-day has been one of great uncertain
ty and alarm for his family. The general
spent very restless night and early this
morning the most alarming symptoms pre-
vailed and for two hours the end was thought
to have come. General Grant appeared to
be more FESTIVE than on any previous COCA
sion. He could scarcely remain in one posi-
ton more than few minutes at time. He
would get up from his easy chair and lay
down on the bed, then he would get up and
sit for few minutes in the chair, but the
agony he suffered was SO terrible that he
would again get up and stagger from room
to room until, becoming exhausted, he would
drop into his easy chair and close his eyes as
if in a dose. He was unable to take
his usual amount of nourishment
and shortly before noon became very
weak, but under the influence of
medicated hypodermic injections of brandy
rallied again and for couple Of hours seemed
much better and at times chatted pleasantly
with the members of his family. At lilo
Rev. DIR. Newman called and remained
he said the general was resting
quietly. Among the callers during
the afternoon were Hamilton Fish and
wife, General G. A. Stowe, General Daniel
Sickles and Professor Barnard, of Columbia,
and wife, General Badeau called at $50 and
on leaving said that the general was then
very feeble he was resting easily in his chair
