WAsmSGToE MNrTHEwE,
HENRY q. IARRow.
AT ii o'clock this morning it was stated
that the generals mind remained per
iectly clear, He was resting quietly, with
little or no pain, and for the time being. his
condition was slightly improved The Or
ganlc diseases from which he suffers, how
ever, remain unyielding.
DELlRloUS AT NIGHT.
He was more or less delirious all through
The night, not violently, however, for he
was too weak for that but no could not
recognize the members Of his family or his
physicians and refused TO take any medicine
or nourishment. About o'clock this
morning his mind cleared and he readily
took peptonized milk. His medicine was
given hypodermically Each of the several
attacks which he has had lately has left him
much weaker than the previous one. His
rallies have been but partial and unsatisfac-
tory and altogether the case is most dc per-
ate From information received from high
sources it Is believed that the end is not far
off.
HIS COUGH INCREASES.
WASHINGTON, June ., 1920 A. M-Gen.
Sherldan's physicians at l2:l0 o'clock this
morning issued the following bulletin: Gen.
Sheridan's cough has increased somewhat
since the last report, and this has made him
restless and nervous. His pulse is rather
quicker, but Of good strength; and his
respiration is rather more frequent within
the last two hours He takes his nourish-
ment with regularity and relishes it.
A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
Though there has been no very decided
change for the worse in Gen. Sheridan's
condition during the day, yet the last
twenty-iour hours have not been encour-
aging for him. There has been continu-
ance OF the high respiration which marked
decided congestion of the lungs, and the
difficulty I'm breathing has weakened him
and prevented him from securing much
needed rest Heretofore there has uni
formly been an improvement after an at
tack OF heart-faiure, but now the patient
does not seem able to rally.
GEN. sHERIDAN's MOTHER ILL.
CHICAGO, June S.-A dispatch from
Somerset, o., says: "Mrs. John Sheridan,
mother of Gen. ?. II. Sheridan, who has
been i'll some time, had another relapse yes
terday afternoon, and is in critical CON
dition. The doctors fear that she cannot
live. The serious illness Of her son Phil has
never yet been made known to her for fear
of serious results. Constant communica-
ton, both by telegraph aud telephone, is
kept up with Gen. Sberidan's house in
Washington.
