| SHERIDAN'S CASE IS HOPEFUL. A Chance Thai He may Be Able To
 Get About once More-His Condition Such As To Inspire the Doctors With Much Hope.
 l WASHINGTON, June 10-General Sheridan's condition is considerably improved to-day and there is again hope that he may yet be
 able to get about once more. The constant fear of relapse remains, however, and hangs | like cloud over the household. All the I symptomr have become more favorable and
 the generals respiration and strength had improved so much that Drs Pepper and Lin- ! coin, who joined the four regular doctors in l consultation about 5 o'clock, were able te
 make a more thorough and extensive exami- ! nation of the patient than heretofore. It is understood that they found General Sheri- dan better in every way than on their pre- vious visit. The heart was closely examined and it was found that there was extensive trouble of the mitral valves. It was thought the aortic orifce might also be diseased, but the generals breathing was still too heavy to allow this to be definitely determined. It is stated that the disease of the heart is not such to entirely preclude hope of the gen
 erals recovery. The liver was also examin- ed and found to be of larger size than it was feared. .Albumen and calcul were found in the
 kidneys, but as they have been acting quite
 freely it was not thought they are seriously
 effected. The examination of the heart, iv-
 CT and kidneys showed that those organs,
 while diseased more or less, were still capa-
 ble of sustaining life and that the general might, if he once fully recovered, live for an indefinite period by taking good
 carefully dieting himself. It was also found
 that the congestion in the lung had cleared up. The stomach is delicate, but the gene- ral has been dyspeptic but is able to assimi- late the peptenized milk given him and this is capable of keeping his strength up until he stantial food. On the whole it can be said that the consultation was of an encouraging nature. The case, however, is a critical though not altogether hopeless one. The history of the case has shown a tendency to 8 recurrence of the heart troubles and this general may become worse at any time. But for this the physicians would feel quite hope ful. It was thought the attacks showed more or less periodicity and also showed 6 marked tendency to return every three OF four days. Three days have now elapsed since the last attack and the doctors are watching to see if there will be a recur- renee. Rigid treatment has been prescribed with the hope of warding of threatened at tacks. Should the general go forty-eignt hours longer without return it is believed he will then have good fighting chance to get we'll.
 General Sheridan passed comparatively comfortable and restful day. Dr. Pepper ar> rived here from Philadelphia about o'clock this evening and after consultation with Dr. Lincoln and the regular attendant physicians the following bulletin was issued at D. m:
 General SheIidsn's continues at last as fa> vorsble as it has been for three days past The respiration is still irregular. The cough and expectoration are less. The heart action is improved. The nervous force holds out well and his mind is clear. There is no pres ent indication of any serious complications impending. His appearance is better and he expresses himself as hopeful of recovery
 Dr. Pepper left shortly before o'clock for Philadelphia.
 12:30 Q. m.-General Sheridan has been resting quietly for the whole period since the last bulletin. He has taken nourish- ment and has had good sleep. There is no change to record.
