Making Gallant Fight Against Death
and a Hopeful Feeling In the House.
| WAsHINGTeN, May 2S.-A more hopeful
| tone pervades the Sheridan mansion tonight
| much relieved at the strength and vitality
| shown by the stricken soldier and the deter
mination exhibited by him to fight off the
attack. The general has had more sleep dur
ing the evening than at any time since the
attack first began and it is said to be easy
and regular and not due to the use of narcot-
les. His respiration has improved and even
in slumber is quite natural. He is weak and
has not left his bed during the day. His
mind is clear and bright, but this may be due
to the oxygen. Milk, beef tea and chicken
broth are given him for nourishment. The
physicians take turns in watching him and
one of them is constantly at his side, while
the others are lying down ready to be called
in case of emergency. About II o'clock the
general awoke and more oxygen was admin
istered. While the generals condition is
improved the chances are still against his re-
covery and this fact is fully appreciated. It
is impossible to tell when change may oe-
cur and as several days elapsed between the
early attacks of heart failure there is appre-
hension of its recurrence. The disappearance
of the oedema in the leg has been marked
and has given rise to fear that it may
have been BEEN. caused ed by the fluid
gene to other and more vital parts of the
body. It was thought that it might have
been due to "tapping." but this is not 80,
and in the weakened stats of the
patient it might not have a good
effect; It is thought, also, that
chronic liver trouble. Colonel Kellogg, one
of the generals aids, expressed the opinion
that the general is really better. He instant
ly recognizes any one of his friends who
enter his room and inquiries after their health
cat no time" said Colonel Kellogg sshas
the general given up hope"
The following bulletin prepared blythe
doctors at $50 P. m. and issued at $50 says:

Portable day. He dozed at intervals and
about pm. had a quiet sleep of nearly an
hours duration from which he awoke feeling

sionally since. His mind is perfectly clear.
He is stronger. His pulse has gained in force
and regularity and at no time has exceeded
110. The respiration shows great improvement |
and the aration of the blood is better. |
The oedema of the legs has entirely disap- |
peared. He takes sufficient food and his |
tongue, previously much coated, is now clear |
His secretions are normal He gays he feels |
splendid.
Midnight. is little to add to the |
$50 statement General Sheridan's favorable /
condition continues. He sleeps easily and L
wakes occasionally, makes some ra-
tional remarks and goes to sleep again.

Is no change in his condition. Everyone in
