ace at half-past 8 this morning and after
a short visit repeated the gratifying
report:
The king has had natural sleep. He is
comfortable and his condition is satisfac-
tory"
London. June 2S, 1o:5s>4. NAT 1O:45
this morning the following bulletin was
issued from Buckingham palace on the
condition of King Edward:
The king had good night and his improved
condition is maintained. We are happy that
able to state that consider his
majesty to be now out Of Immediate danger
and the general condition is satisfactory The
operation wound, however, still needs con-
slant attention, and such concern at
taches to his majestys condition Is con-
nected with the wound.
Under the most favorable conditions, his
inojesty's recovery must. Of necessity. be
protracted. The 2 p, M bulletin will be dis
continued.
London, June 2s 4:5o p. m.-The king

satisfactory
London, June 2S.-At 2:30 p. m. it was

tanned, that his majesty was quite COM
Portable and that he had seen several
day.
London, June 2S.-"The king is now out
Of immediate DANGER This announce
ment spread quickly throughout the me-
tropolis and caused general rejoicing.
The verdict upon which the nation had
SO anXiously waited caused a longer con-
sultation than usual. Lord Lister, Sir
Frederick Treves and the other doctors
discussed the patients condition for
for nearly an hour before they committed
themselves to the import ant announce
rnent- 1t was read at Buckingham palace
: by only a small crowd, the public being
practically assured by yesterday evening
reports that everything was going we'll.
Yet to use the words of the Westminster
Gazette, the bulletin was H.sfull of intense
relief The underlying suspicion that
the doctors might fear more than they
wrote, the sensational rumorS of his
majesty's death, which continued even sc
late as yesterday and the lack Of definite
unofficial news all combined to create in
tense nervousness. Such hopeful state
ments as the Associated Press had been
able to make were not available to the
British public, who, however were spared
the sensational reports now so palpably
absurd, which were cabled to America.
The reference to the wound in this
mornings bulletin as authoritatlvely sci
forth, can be regarded without any dis
auietude. By June 80 the doctors are ex-
pected to announce that all danger Of any
complications has passed. The king was
very cheerful this morning after four OF
five hours sleep, and his temperature
was normal He is already able to slight
ly raise himself by the aid OF a pulley
When he first made attempt to do sc
the queen adjusted the pillows so as tt
form back rest, and with sigh of in
tense relief the king exclaimed:
"Ah, that is better
Royal Family Cheerful.
In view of the kings rapid recovery, 4
IS small wonder that the group of mem
bers of the royal family which gathered a
Victoria station this morning were happ!
and cheerful. The Prince of Wales wen
there to bid farewell to his cousin, Prince
Prince Louise Philippe of Portugal ant
others who we're leaving London, includ
ing the Grand Duke Of Mecklenburg
Schwerin, Frederick Francis and tht
Egyptian and Moorish ENJOYS. The chic
of staff of the last-named said to a repre-
sentative:

King Edward. England is great country
but am glad to be going back to civiIiza
