had long ago given him up as dead. and
his brother, George B.. Waldo. an artist of

ADMIRAL SAMPSON IMPROVES
Brighter Than tor some Days and
Contrary RumOrs Are
tqS-. Denied.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-AlarmIng rumors
were afloat here today to the effect that
Admiral Sampson had taken a serious turn
for the worse within the last twenty four
hours, Inquiries at the Sampson residence
and of the naval physicians developed that
there has been no decided change In the
admiral's condition, but that a steady
retrogression is in progress which is COM
mon to his disease.
It was etated, authoritatively, later in
the day, that what had been used as a
basis for the reports for the serious change
for the worse in the condition Of Admiral
Sampson was a. slight. attack Of indiges-
tion which caused no alarm among those
nearest him. but confined him to his room
and bed for several days. Moreover, It
was stated that Admiral SIMPSONS con-
dition was much Improved today and that
he appears brighter than for some time
past. 1t is confidently expected that he
will be able TO come downstairs to his
meals tomorrow, and 1t is said that as
soon as the streets dry, the admiral will
resume his daily walks, which had been In
| ~terrupted by the attack Of indigestion and
the state Of the weather. = sr'res -s.yr.t
However, 1t may be stated that Admiral
SIMPSONS general condition is such as to
give some basis of fact to the ever recur-

The report recommends that the roof be
taken OF the tunnel, and the intersectine
