PRESIDENT OPTIMISTIC.

SAN FRANCISCO. May l7.-Presi-
dent Mckinley described the marked
Improvement In Mrs. McKinley's con.
dltion today IA transformation but
perhaps even the president OF the Unit
ed States may overstate the case in
his elatlon at the prospect OF his wlfe's
recovery. Certain Il is. however that
Mrs. McKlnley's condition last night
improved to an extent that fairly non
plussed the doctors, frightened the anx-
ious and devoted husband and filled the
city with Joy AMI thanksglvngs
The sinking spell that was feared In
the early hours before dawn when the
tide flows out and the vitality OF the
world IL at the lowest ebb did not come
There was a slight tendency in that d.
rectlon bu, that was all The Joy In
the presidents heart was reflected IN
his face and one look at his counten-
ance today was enough to dispel i'm
mediate apprehension,
But Il must not be assumed that Mrs
Mckinley has passed the crisis and is
out OF danger. The elation OF today
may have been only the crest OF the
wave after the trough OF the sea. Mrs
Mckinley is still dangerously III and It
will be at least IS hours before It will
be safe to say that the crisis has been
passed. Her vitality Is so low and she
is so weak that a change for the worse
would not be unexpected At any mo-
ment and It is feared that she would
not have reserve strength enough TO
weather another sinking spell such as
she experienced yesterday morning.
Her mind was clear during her wax
ing moments. There was no necessity
for the administration OF strong heart
stimuhnts during the day, although
they continue TO be given nom time to
time. That and beef tea are practical
ly all the nourlshment she takes.

WiIemstad, Island of Curacao, Dec.
1l-There has been a halt in the eA-
change Of communications between
Germany and Venezuela owing to the
publication in newspapers of Caracas
of dispatches from the United states
setting forth that the government at
Washington is not opposed to any
steps which Germany may take TO en-
force her rights in Venezuela, with the
exception of preserving the annexation
of any Venezuelan territory. AS re-
suit, newspaper attacks on Germany
have ceased, but semi-official papers
are now attacking the United States,
saying that Washington in authorizing
Germany to take action III her dispute
with Venezuela looks upon the later
country as being part of the territory
of the United States. 1t is believed
here that Germany, at the end Of the
present month, will take steps to CD
tain due acknowledgment # her GAINS
for s2.OO0.000 arising fron losses sus
tanned by German citizens during the
last revolution, and disai,owed by Ven
| ezuela who answered last year that
Germany should present her claims be
fore the special Venezuelan courts ap'
poirted to pass upon such matters
i But Germany. United States, Great Brl'
tain and France refused to appeal 70
these courts. Italy alone being bound
bv the former treaty, was obliged tc
present her claims to the Venezuelan
courts.
The claim of the Disconto bank o.
Berlin probably will be included II
claims presented by German.
The situation in Venezuela is crit
cal and fears are expressed OF geneF
al uprising there.

Galveston, Dec. 1.-THE first case
wherein an inbound passenger was de-
tanned on account Of tuberculosis to

Barnard Hall, which arrived a few
days ago, and was duly inspected by

that he was afflicted with tuberculosis
and the examination of the marine hos
pital surgeon confirmed this. Mr.. Ed
wards was bound for Amarillo for the
benefit of his health, but he was held
at Galveston until his case could be
passed upon by the treasury depart
ment The decision OF that department
was that he should be permitted tc
proceed to Amarillo with the under
standing that he might be recalled
within q year and dcported. Mr.. Ed
wards is connected with the cotton firm
of George NfcFadden c Bro. 1t IS only
recently that tuberculosis has been put

lions and laws. The first case wherein
