SURGICAL. OPERATION
PROVES BONE WAS AFFECTED.
Speedily Recover-Resuits of the
Operation Entirely Satisfactory.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2S.-Another
operation was performed to-day on the
abscess on the left leg of President
Roosevelt. In the former operation a
simple needle was used to relieve the
trouble, but to-day the surgeons with a
knife made an incisiOn into the small
cavity, exposing the bone which was
found to be slightly affected.
The Presidents case has been pro-
crossing satisfactorily, but it is be-
lieved by the physician that the far
ther operation made to-day will hasten
his complete recovery. While none Of
the doctors are willing to be quoted,
they give the most positive assurances
that there is not the least cause for
alarm and say that on the contrary
there Is every Indication of a speedy re-
covery. That the area of bone affected
is very slight, and that it will not re-
suit in any impairment of the Presi-
dents limb, and that there is no evil
dence whatever of any matter THAI
would produce blood poisoning. They
confidently express their opinion that
the President will be up in a reason
able time and that with his robust con-
stitution will soon be himself again
The operation was performed bet
ween 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon
and an application of cocaine was used
to allay the pain The President stood
the operation very well and subse-
Quently expressed his satisfaction at
the successful result.
DIR. RiXey. the surgeon general Of the
navy. performed the operation. assist
ed by DIR. Lung. the Presidents regu-
lar physician. DR.. O'Reilly, who also
was present with the other physicians,

present, is in charge of the naval n.y.
giene and medical school
The physicians tonight took rose
ate view of the Presidents prospects
for getting out again. He has become
somewhat restive. because of his close
confinement, and the physicians are
considering the advisa bility of permit
ting him to take a ride in few days.
The physicians say the question now is
simply one of the healing of the wound.
