say that Mondays hemorrhage was nearly
fatal and that it was only by the help of the
strongest measures that the vigorous vitality
of the patient was enabled to assert itself and
beat back the hand of death
AT 2 p, m yesterday the following bulletin
was issued:
Gen. Sheridan has doled and slept all the morn
ing. There have been two very slight hemor-
rhages from the stomach, which have not appar.
emily weakened him. His pulse is l05 and of fair
1ualIy. MS respiration easy Ihcfc IS our lltt0
cough, with loose eXpectoratiOn. The eXcretio1
from the kidneys is abundant. and chemical analy
sis shows it to lie almost normal
The 8 p m. bulletin was:
Since the last bulletin Gen Sheridan's pulse has
averaged 1916 TO the minute, and its quality is
good. The breathing is generally regular and
deeper, the cough Is not troublesome, and there
is no difficulty in eXpectoration, The voice is
stronger the appearance more natural, the mind
quite uncluudcd. There has be en- no recurrence
of the hemorrhage. For the time being there is
manifest improvement in the generals condi-
ton.
Midnght-Gen. Sheridan's condition has
not changed materially since the last report.
His respiration continues regular and his
pulse is good in quality, ranging from 10j
to los to the minute. His sleep during the
entire evening has been restful, and he has
only awakened at irregular intervals, when
required to take his nourishment
Before he left for home yesterday Dr. Pep
per said:
The development of the alarming symptoms of
heart failure dates back to the exhaustion con-
nected with the recent trip west 1t is impossible
to assert that there may not be a recurrence of
the hemorrhage, and such event or the return
OF the severe heart failure would place his life in
urgent danger. On the other hand, there are, as
shown in the bulletin of Tuesday morning. several
favorable features about the present condition of
the case Gen Sheridans courage is undimin-
Ished and his confidence in his attending plys.

goes all necessary treatment are so absolute that

the thoroughfare, while the air was rent
