WAsHINGTON, Jan. I6.-Blaine's
disease remains mystery to all but his
family and attending physicians. The
latter decline. without tho express au.

1t was hoped to-day when the phy.
slcians announced that at n specified
hour they would be prepared to issue a
fuller statement on this subject than
had hitherto been given out, that some
facts would be allowed to transpire
which would satisfy the natural desire
OF tho public to ascertain the truth in
regard to his illness, and, at the same
time, stop the crop of contradicto tory and
sensational rumors now prevailing
IhlS anticipation was not realized
There was delay in tAe issue Of the
promised bulletin and whom it did
appear it contained nothing but what
had previously been made known. Mr.
Blaine has at various times in recent
years been treated by physicians other
than those in immediate attendance
upon him at the present time. In the
list are DR.. n. s. Lincoln, ono of the
most popular consulting physicians Of
Washington; DR.. &. S. Magruder, a
Washington physician OF large practice,
DR.. Dennis, OF New York and Bar
Haroor, and others
Not one of these gentlemen is able to
state the nature of Mr.. Biaine's organic
disease. One OF them, however, said
to day that he had once prepared an in.
telligiblo bulletin as to Blaine's con-
dltion, but was peremptoriiy requested
to withhold it from publication. flo
added; Tho real nature of B!ainos
illness will probably only be made
