COLONEL MOsBY's CONDITION.
1t Continues About the shme-The
Fear OF Relapse.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, May l.
(Special)-The condition OF Colonel John
s. Mosby seems about the same as for
the past few days However, the physi-
clans are not so much encouraged as
might be expected. 1t is acknowledged
that his case is a desperate one, and that
the chances of recovery are not as bright
as many would have thought. He has
been entirely conscious throughout the
day. and every precauton has been taken
TO prevent his becoming excited, for fear
Of consequences. Not even the members
Of his family have been permitted to see
him during the day. Those In charge at
the infrmary consider that he is doing
well tonight, and state that he IS resting
quietly. His pulse, which has fallen con-
siderably below the normal several times
and caused worry as to his condition, Is
tonight about regular. The fear Of his
suffering a relapse is a source Of con-
slant anxiety. At late hour his ply
stefan had not seen him. and no pro-
fessional statement could be secured.
