WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Great excite
ment was caused in the Department of
State this forenoon over the sudden ILL
ness OF Secretary Blaine The nature of
the illness is not at present known, but it
is said to be due altogether to temporary
stomach arrangement. The alarm sub
sided about noon, when the Secretary,
who was attended by physicians from the
! War and Navy Departments, was re-
ported resting quietly and being entirely
out of danger.
The Secretary was removed to his home
IN carriage. He is now reported to be
much improved, and it is expected he
viii be able TO be out tomorrow.
Later information concerning Secretary
Blaine's sudden illness has established
the fact that it was caused wholly by an
attack of indigestion, and as soon as his
stomach was relieved by light emetic
he suffered no further pain, bnt simply
| the after-effects of nausea.
! There were all sorts of sensational rI-
mors af1oat tonight regarding BIaine's
condition. An Associated Press reporter
interviewed, separately, the physicians
who attended him, and they all agree
that ne IS only suffering from indigestion,
resulting from oyer-eating.
! NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Thc last Mat and
| Express says: A confidential, almost life
! long friend of Blaine, who has served
him as faithful adviser in every poilti-
cal campaign, said to-day that at no time
| within the past three years, and particu-
larly within the past few months, had he
deemed Blaine's health at all secure. On
the contrary, he knew and his family
knew that Blaine was far from being a
] well man. Retirement, serenity and
avoidance of all friction or excitement
had been imposed, because it was abso-
lutely essential to the prolongation of tho
patients life
