New York, May 1.-THE Evening
World gave prominence Friday to the
following:
There Is a report current in fnan'
cial circles, emanating from the office
Of the Equitable Life Assurance So.
ciety, that Former President Grover
Cleveland is a sufferer from cancer OF
the stomach and that his case has been
pronounced hopeless by specialists
called into consultation by DR.. Joseph
D. Bryant, Of this city, the family ply.
sician. Mr. Cleveland remains at the
Lakewood hotel, in Lakewood, N. j.,
although the house closed for the sea
son 10 days ago. His wife and chill
dred are the only other guests. A
physician and nurses are in constant
attendance, and a small stan of ser.
wants has been retained to look after
the Cleveland family"
Efforts to confirm the Evening
Worlds statement that Mr.. Cleveland
is suffering from cancer and that his
condition is critical are unavilIng. Ow.
ing to the extreme retlcence observed
by all connected with the case since
the beginning Of the former presidents
illness.
When DR.. Bryant, who has been Mr..
Cleveland's physician for years, was
asked whether II was correct that his
patients illness had been diagnosed as
cancer OF the stomach, replied: "Mr.
Cleveland Is all right There Is moth
ing ! can tell you Of any interest"
At the Lakewood Hotel Friday it
was said that Mr. Cleveland was max
ing very satisfactory progress ami tha'
there was no material change in his
condition.
At Lakewood Friday night efforts
we're made to obtain an authorized
statement regarding Mr.. Cleveland's
illness from the hotel authorities, or
through them statement from Mrs.
Cleveland. But the same answer,
nothing to say" was all that was
given out, though several inquiries
were made.
Some Of the friends Of the former
president who have seen Mrs. Cleve.
land say that she has told them that
there is nothing serious the matter
with Mr.. Cleveland, but they add that
she appears much worried regarding
her husbands condition.
