General Grant Said to be in a Very Critical Condition, Being a Very Sick Man. InsolTeiit National Bank Dividends De dared by the Comptroller of thg Currency The Treasurer's Opinion. Tiio "Future Great" Greatly Flur rled Over the Break In Whoat Hendricks Narrow Escape. (JEniAL CJRiXT'S HEALTH. Ills Condition Ktpt rrom the Public to Keep Letters From 1'ourlng in and Kxcitlne niin. Uev.- York, Feb iS. In regard to Genenl Grant's health, Colonel Frederic' Grant said to a Pot reporter this afternoon : "My father Is a very Bici man; ttere Is no t.e la longer denyln?tbe fact. We have made every effort to keep the true facta from the pcbUc, because we ne that as foon as it should become xnoarn tnatnewas dangerously 111 there would be hundreds of letters coming in with evey mail, and this would nnly excite him and make a cure less hopeful. My father has had little rest for the past lew nights, lie was up and about his rcom for a little while yesterday, and we hope to get him upazain to-day. but he Is suffering constant pain in his ear ana head. For any faci3 concerning the niture of his disease I refer you to his physician. The doctors wno are atteadiatj bim are Dr. Fordjce Earker. Dr J. H. Dous?la"?, and Dr. Ii. E. bands, of this city, and Dr. T. M. Uerkpr, of Philadelphia." Dr. Douslaa atd: 'l am in no wise responsible for the Tose-colored report that appeared in tne Medical Journal last week. Iwo days before the report was published, I had a conversation with Dr. Sanrta at General Grant's bone. TtererbU of the consultation was that we both decided that the cancerous growth at the root of tbe tongne was hardening and steadily growing worFe. A mit croscopicil examination by an expert proved beyond a doubt that the caw was a maliznant epithelial growth. General Grant Is a very Rick man. I think there Is little or no hope that he will recover. He Is breakln? do vn : but he has displayed much courage. For less than a month he has done as much as six or eight hours work a day, but has had little sleep for the pust eljht days. We have tried to keep a knowledge of his trne condition from the General, because he had so many other troubles to bear. I have all alone maintained that hi trouble is from a concerous growth at the root of the tongue, caused undoubtedly by excets in imokiDg. Every time he speaks or breathes or eats this is disturbed. It is difficult to treat it for that reason. There have been times when the growth could have b?en temporarily checked, but It never has been arrested, and It is steadily increasing. There has been consider ole los of tissue of the soft palate. lie takes nourishment every day la a liquid form. Ho cn not cat solid food because he has lot all his teefh. They were extracted In the hope ofJeasInR the pain In tbe if - 1 his pain, although it resembles neuralgia, it. uoi that pure and simple, but it is a reflecting pain, cused by cancer in the throat. He has been suffering from a severe pain in the right ear and on top o! tne head. To ease this, his head is kept wrapped in hot flannels. I can not say hw near the end i. He may live for months yet, as men suffering from this disease have done, but I do not think there ia any hope he will ever recover. NATIONAL MATTERS.
