The Portuguese troops have taken

They are, he said, vested with similar

The baggage car remained with the

opening the door and swimming out.
They clambered into the side of the

Cleveland, June Q The illness of
Congressman James s. Sherman, Re-

who has been Ill here at the residence
of Ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick since
Sunday, assumed serious phase when
the patient suffered a severe chill.
Mr.. Sherman's illness, which at first
was diagnosed as a bilious attack,
now turns out to have been caused by
gall stones. Upon the advice Of doc
tors who were called y attend the
patient he was removed to Lakeside
hospital. An operation may later be
performed, but this step has not yet
been fully decided upon. It was stated
that Mr.. Sherman suffered no Ill Of
feets as result Of his journey from
Mr.. Herrick's residence to the hos
pttal, which was made in an invalid
carriage.
Mr. Herrick communicated with
Mrs. Sherman over the long distance
telephone She was greatly agitated
upon hearing the condition Of her hus-
band and declared her intention Of
coming at once to Cleveland. An ef-
fort to persuade her not to come at
the present time failed and she and
her son, Richard U. Sherman. an In.
structor in Hamilton college at Gin
ton, N. Y, started for this city.
Similar Attack Two Years Ago.
Congressman Sherman suffered q
similar attack in New York oity two
years ago while serving as chairman
Of the Republican congressional cam

ously i'll, but no operation was per-
formed.
At Lakeside hospital it Is said Mr..
Sherman is resting quite comfortably.
During the early hours Of the morning
the temperature Of the patient rose to
102. Subsequently, however, his ply
sicians announced that It had again
become normal. Congressman Sher-
man came here from Cincinnati last

of Mr.. Herrick. There he was forced
to his bed.
