KING WALKS A LITTLE.
Improvement In Edwards Condition
Indicates That Coronation Will
Not be Postponed.

London, July 30.-The latest and
most reliah information indicates
that King Edwards doctors were not
mistaken in fixing August 9 as the
date upon which his majesty could be
crowned. The sinister rumors which
have pervaded all classes for the last
few days now appear to have lost that
semblance of probability which made
even the members of the cabinet nerv-
Gus lest another postponement of the
cornoation might be lecessitated.
The apprehension that King Edward
would be unable to stand the strain of
the coronation ceremony has been
greatly lessened by the announcement
that his majesty is now permitted to
use his feet, and, with the aid of a
stick, has done little walking. An
other late telegram from Cowes, Isle
of Wight, saying that nearly all the re-
strictions upon the kings diet have
been withdrawn, has been welcomed
as evidence that the recent ON
inous deductions were drawn with
out due allowance for the doc
tors extreme cautiousness. While
the king was testing his ability
to walk two stalwart iackies stood at
his side. After this experiment, which
boded we'll for his fulfilling the neces-
sary coronation functions at Westmin-
ster abbey, King Edward sat smoking
on the deck of the royal yacht and
watched the races of the small yachts
off Cowes.
Those who drew differences from the
fact that the invitations to Westmin-
ster abbey We're not dated, have had
their fears dissipated by the proclama-
ton published in the Gazette Tues
day night fixing August as the date
for the coronation. which postdates,
and is altogether more important than
anything which might or might not
have appeared upon the cards of in
vitation.
According to present arrangements,
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
will leave Cowes either August 6 or
August S. for Buckingham palace, and
will return to the royal yacht August
is. when the entire fleet will pass be-
fore King Edward and salute him. thus
making second naval review. After
his return to the yacht the king is ex-
pected to take an extended cruise to
the northward and subsequently
to spend some weeks at Balmoral,
where preparations for the arrival of
their majesties have already been COM
menced.
Sir Joseph c. Dimsdale, the lord
mayor of London, expects King Ed
ward to visit the city of London the
week ending October II, when a great
luncheon will be held in the Guild
hall. which is to be followed by royal
procession through the south of Lon
don. All these plans may not be car
ried out to the letter, but their ar
rangement, combined with the en-
phatic optimism of the kings physi-
clans, is generally taken as insuring,
SO far as human foresight can be re-
lied upon, the kings coronation for
August 9.

massacre has been obtained. The
four Americans approached the shore
of Mindoro in a boat, and as soon as
they landed the natives attacked
them, putting all to death, and mutt
lating them. The bodies then were
put in the boat and cast adrift. The
finding of the boat by the Americans
led to the discovery of the crime, and
