ton. This is the official announce
u,ent made to-day by the attending
physicians. For several days he has
beep unable to take any nour1sh-
meut, and his weakness has given
rise TO the gravest apprehension.
Up to Saturday night, Mr.. Nor
gaD's sonin-law. Herbert l.. Satter
lee, and the physicians made every
effort to conceal Mr.. Morgan's true
condition. The bulletin issued to-
worst is to he feared If reaction
docs not speedily set in.
Bulletin Is Startling.
Or NJ. Allen Starr. OF New York.
the noted nerve specialist, was sum-
moned from Naples. DR.. Starr al
ready had made an examination of
Mr.. Morgan OH the latter's return to
Naples from Cairo. He reached here
last night and visited MIR Morgan
Immediately. He visited him again
this morning, and for third time
in the evening. Professor Giuseppe
Bastianelli and DR.. George A. Dixon
also were in attendance. The physi-
clans, who are in complete accord on
the diagnosis, issued the following
bulletin:
"a week ago, Mr.. Morgan was
persuaded to- go to bed and re-
main there to conserve his
strength. Until Wednesday af-
ternOon he did very we'll under
this regimen; he rested and
slept without the aid OF drugs,
and took a satisfactory amount
of nOurishment.
"wednesday afternoon he be-
gan to refuse food, and since
then IL has been impossible to
nourish him. He has lost weight
and strength very rapidly. His
nervous system is showing this,
and it has added to the strain
seriously.
"Nfr. Morgan has not devel-
oped any organic trouble, but Is
SD exceedingly weak that his
present condition must be con-
sldcred most critical.
(Signed)
&c. BASTTANEIII,
"M. ALLEN STARR,
&c. A. DIXON"
The only nourishment which the
patient has been able 10 receive for
several days has been through in
Jections, to which the physicians had
to resort, and they fear this is not
sufficient to sustain him for any
length Of time
DR.. Starr was startled at the
change in Mr.. Morgan's appearance
since he saw him only a short time
ago at Naples, and was much con-
cerned again to-day over the change
which had occurred ever since last
night.
There are four trained nurses In
attendance. Mr.. Morgan's pulse,
which has been very weak for the
last few days, Is gradually becom-
Ing weaker. The insomnia from
which ne suffers is with difficulty be-
.ne combatcd by drugs, but the mar
cotics are having a pronounced ef-
feet on his heart The most dis.
tressing symptom for those surround
Ing him is the patients complete
silence. For this reason 1t has been
impossible to say whether he now
realizes his condition.
The last words uttered by Mr..
Morgan we're request to have his
limbs massaged, a treatment which
had often been given to him on for
mer occasions when suffering from
nervous disorders.
He Swallows Nothing.
All attempts TO make the patient
swallow anything, even water. have
been in vain. The physicians explain
that this is due to tho lack OF func-
tional Vitality In the nerve centre,

to have been legally collected, and
