After calling them at the top of her

morning bulletin was hopeful in tons,
describing the patients state as sta

his own apparently. In the middle OF
the afternoon word came from the sick
chamber that his majesty had suffered
a relapse.
His majesty's private secretary,
Baron Goffinet, then announced thar
the condition of the royal patient was
not very satisfactory.
Popular confidence in the ultimate re-
coyery of King Leopold waned today
His unexpected survival Of yesterdays
operation encouraged the public to an X

reports from the sick chamber are dis
appointing.
This evening there appears TO be no
immediate danger of death. but the
King has experienced a return Of an
old intestinal complaint and 1t is feared
that this will initiate against the nlf1-
mate success of yesterdays operation
