FROM HER PHYSICIANS.
A Blood Infection Resulting from a
Bone Feion on the Index Finger-In.
nammatfon OF the Lining Membrane
ofthe Heart and Great Weakness Due
to this Cause, Followed by Severe
Bowel TroubIE

Washington, June S.-Mrs. McKin-
ley's physicians were in consultation
about two hours today and subsequent
ly very complete statement OF the true
character of the illness from which she
has been suffering was issued. Such
statement has been promised from time
to time and while in San Francisco it
was said that the president desired a
full announcement of the nature Of
Mrs. McKinley's illness given to the
public, but for one reason or another
it has been withheld up to the present
time. The bulletin is as follows:
Mrs. McKinley's illness has been
blood infection resulting from perios-
tits Of the index finger Ozone felon)
which began in Los Angeles and which
was promptly treated by incision. The
subsequent condition of exhaustion was
due to the same blood infection associ-
ated with a severe diarrhoea. She i'm
proved, however and was brought home
in comfort and without loss of strength
The principal cause of anxiety in her
case since her arrival in Washington
has been an acute endocarditis inflam-
nation of the lining membrane of the
hearp involving the mitral valve, the
result of the same blood infection.
This does not appear to be progressive
and there has been an Improvement in
the diarrhoea and in her general condi-
ton. Mrs. McKinley's case at the
present time presents a more hopeful
aspect
The statement that Mrs. McKinley's 8
case at this time presents more hope
full aspect is the best word that has
come from the sick room since the ar
rival of the distinguished patient in
Washington. The president feels con-
siderably encouraged.
Today was Mrs. McKinley's birthday,
and many beautiful flowers and gifts
were left at the White house for her.
The Belgium charge d'affaires called
| at the White house today and presented
a personal message to the president
| sympathy for the president and inquir-
| ing after Mrs. McKinley's health.
DIR. Dixey left the White house al
| 11:20 tonight after a visit that extend
| ed over two hours. He said:
| Mrs. McKinley's condition is about
the same as reported in this mornings
| bulletin. She has rested comfortably
today. There has been no materia
change though possibly there has beer
barely perceptible Improvement
| She is now sleeping soundly''

A SwINDLER CAPTURED
Charged with Doing a General Swind-
ling Business Through the Mails

Macon, Ga, June S.-Warren P.
Lovett, a prominent citizen Of Sanders
vile, was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Erwin here to-
day, charged with using the mails for
fraudulent purposes. He was put un-
der a $500 bond, which he gave.
1t is contended that he bought all
sorts Of goods from all parts of the
country without any intention of pay
ing for them. His correspondence was
conducted, it is claimed, over various
names, among them William Parker,
Robert L. Jaxon James Crow, Jim
Crow and Seco Poultry Yards. Accord
ing to the governors contention
he secured goods in small quantities
mostly in sample lots. and would sell
these to his acquaintances at greatly
reduced prices, whatever he received
being profit.
Postoffice Inspector Fred D. Peer
worked up the case and prefers the
charges against Lovett. He says the
firms that he has so far heard from
will run into the thousands. and more
complaints are coming in to him by
every mail They are said to be from
| houses in nearly every city in the

acy with former Captain Carter, to de-
fraud the government in connection

this by revoking the bail bonds under

appearance to stand trial in Savannah,
Georgia
The men were surrendered to the GUS
tody of the United States marshal, but
a few minutes later they were taken
before Judge Lacombe on an applica-

application was denied by the judge
and Mr.. Rose took an appeal The
bonds Of the four defendants were then
renewed and they were at once released

GERMANY AND AMERICA
Alleged Unfriendly Feeling Only In the

attached here to anti-German utter

to the subject this week, but q corre-
snor de t Of The Frankfurther Zietung
has been pointing out that it is better
not to attach such grave weight to the
wholly unfettered utterances of the
American press. declaring that the
Americans do not want war with Ger

peace loving people.
The recent Chinese war the corre-
spondent adds has clearly demonstrat-
ed that thesUnited states is unwilling
to plunge into foreign adventures, and
the Washington, administration is un-
doubtedly most friendly to Germany,
as number OF recent acts show. The
correspondent next claims that the
German press is in part more unfriend-
ly to the United States, instancing a
number of cases.
Regarding the relations between Ger

Germany has not had any interests
but economic interests to subserve In
Brazil. This is well known to the Bra
lillian government. The interest which
Germany takes in Germans In Brazil,
who have nearly all acquired Brazilian
citizenship, is legitimate and natural
and largely because they have remain
ed good customers for the German ex-
port trade"
Regarding politics Baron Rio Branco
said: while the Germans in the three
