NOT so WELL AGAIN.
Latest News From Sheridan Not So
Hopeful.
THE DOCTORS STILL HOPEFUL
Although a Recurrence of the Heart
Trouble May Occur at ANY
Moment.

WASHINGTON, June Cat II o'clock
this evening the lights in the sick room
were burning low, and it was said the
general was doing. Not since the first
attack has there been such unmistaka-
BILE evidence of sanguine hope
shown both by the members of
the family and friends as this
evening. Mrs. Sheridan left the house
about 9 o'clock for the first time in
nearly two weeks, and took half
hours drive about the neighborhood,
using, to avoid attracting attention,
the public cab which is kept
constantly in waiting. Other
members of the family spent
an hour or more sitting upon the front
porch in unconstrained conversation.
All of the lower portion of the house
was brightly lighted, the windows were
thrown wide open and everything wore
much more hopeful appearance.
Midnight-There is no change to re-
port in Gen. Sheridan's condition since
the last bulletin. Gen. Sheridan's fam
lily and friends are hopeful tonight and
highly encouraged by the improvement
shown in the generals condition. His
friends think that he is on the road to
recovery unless another alarming at
tack should occur. The hemorrhageS are
now believed to be the principal source
of danger. as they would be likely to
cause another attack of heart failure.
He is very weak, but it is said if the
present improvement continues for
forty-eight hours he will be strong
enough to resist quite a severe attack.
While this is the feeling tonight,
there still prevails the constant APP
prehenSion of another recurrence of
heart trouble, and this, it is stated by
the physicians, is always to be feared,
even should the general get out of doors
again. The heart and liver
ARE INCURABLY DISABLED
but it is said to be possible for the sick
man by strict diet and close attention
to his health and an avoidance of eX-
element, to live for years with these
organs affected. Any imprudence, how
ever, will Immediately render him
tacks. DR.. Lincoln called on
the sick man to-day at the
request of DR.. O'Reilly and will call
again. He made careful examination
of the patient and said this evening that
he found the general very much better
called before, and if nothing
alarming occurred, he might get
out again. The generals respira-
ton, DR.. Lincoln said, was very much
better, showing that the lungs were less
congested. When he had called before
the lungs were exceedingly congested,
and it seemed almost impossible for him
to live. Since that time, DR.. O'Reilly
informed him there had been a
steady improvement until the hem
orrhage occurred. The hemorrhages,
while they had nearly caused death, had
helped to clear up the lungs and since
then there had been a constant improve
ment. The kidneys, the doctor says,
were acting very favorably and
the generals strength seemed to
have kept up we'll. DR.. Lin
coin further said that the chances
of the patients recovery were now
greatly improved. but, he added, there is
of course, always to be apprehended a
recurrence of the heart trouble.
2 a. m.-Gen. Sheridan does not seem
so well as earlier in the day. His rest
has been frequently disturbed by at
tacks of coughing, which Increased in
