By telegraph to the Dispatch)

WASHINGTON. ID. c., November 1j.--
retary Lamont took the ll:3o express
train over the Pennsylvania road for
New York last night. No inkling had
been allowed to escape OF his intentions
or destination. and the first knowledge OF
his departure was CLEANED from people
who recognized him at the depot Private
Secretary Thurber refused absolutely TO
make any statement whatever about the
Presidents movements. and only adj
mitted that he had left town after he
had been informed that Mr.. Cleveland
had been seen to board the train In the
Pennsylvania Station last night. Later In
the day Mr. Thurber was requested to
make some definite statement i'm View OF
rumors prevalent throughout Washington
that the President had left town 10 un-
dergo another operation, and Mr.. Thurber
declined TO say anything further than:
1.-The only true statement is that the
President has gone away on Jaunt and
will be back tomorrow"
Secretary Herbert said that the rumor
that any operation was to be performed
was all nonsense. IF anything like that
were going on" he added, II would have
known IT.
IN NEW YORK.
Dispatches from New York say that
the President and Secretary Lamont ar
rived at the Hotel Victoria early this
morning An hour after breakfast the
pair took a carriage and drove off, leav-
ing no word as to their destination. This
is the extent of the facts that can be OBJ
tanned up TO this writing as to the Presi-
dents visit. The air Is full Of conjecture.
\ New York dispatch says: There
were no callers at the hotel here for the
President during his morning stay. He
left word that to all inquiries at the office
only one answer should be given. and
that was that he VAS here on purely per-
sonal business. Or. Bryant, Mr.. Cleve-
lands physician, was seen at noon in
his office. No "a west Thirty sixth street.
In answer to the first inquiry. he replied:
Yes. | know that the President Is In
town. but have not seen him
"'Do you expect to see himT
"I cannot say
HIS HEALTH ALL RIGHT.
DR.. Bryant gave a very forcible reply
10 the next query-to-wit If the President
were here on account of his health and
for the purpose of undergoing an opera
ton for the removal OF diseased mouth
tissue. 81 will say this" said the Doctors:
Mr. Cleveland's health is all right. II
the newspapers get up any sensational
stories about his having any serious physi-
cal allment, it will be outrageous, II not
even criminal"
READS THE PAPERS.
At o'clock Mr.. Cleveland returned from
his drive. and for two hours read the
papers.
AT 6:20 o'clock. in company with Secre-
tary and Mrs. Lamont, he went to the
residence of Dr. Bryant where the party
had dinner. Secretary Lamont branded
the report that the President was In the
city to have an operation performed as
pure rot" He was emphatic In saying
Mr.. Cleveland was in excellent health,
and was not here for any other purpose
than 10 attend TO few private matters.
