THE NEWS CONDENSED.

THE STRICKEN SOLDIER. Gen. Grant's Obstinate Battle with'Dentil. f “There has been an extraordinary Improvement in Gen. Grant's condition during the past twenty-four hours, and the physicians and family are now talking of events to happen a month hence," says a New Yorx dispatch of the morning of the 15th lost; “The General was dressed in street attire,, yesterday, and walked about the library, remarking that he felt better than for two weeks. The swelling on his neok was much reduced. Yesterday morning, soon after 6:30, and while Mrs. Grant was in the adjoiniug room, the General . bade the servant bring him a pad of writing paper. On it he wrote a bulletin, as follows: “The doctor tells me I am better this morning. lam better. lam better. 1 am better than I have been in two weeks. U. 8. Grant. “Having so written the General handed his bulletin to the servant and told him he should carry it to Mrs. Grant, who was silting in the library almost in sight of her husband. The servant delivered the message with formality. Mrs. Grant read it, showed it to Dr. Douglas, and both, laughing, entered the sick room, where pleasantries passed, the General joining with a smile. A gentleman who is thoroughly conversant with Gen. Grant's ailment said tonight: The marvelous improvement in the General’s condition is not at all surprising to me. He may live two or three weeks and he may live four months. If he survives until the eariy part of summer he will be taken oht of the city to the mountains, probably, as I do not think the ses air would agree with him. If he had strength enough 1 think he would like to go to California If he improves in the same ratio in the next few days he will be driving in the park this week. He tried three varieties of nourishment to-day. and, being in a facetious mood, referred to them as ’his three courses..’ ” A small Incandescent electric light is u-'ed tajho examination of the ulceration of the General’s throat, and when introduced into the sufferer’s mouth Illuminates the parts effectively. A oontinu&i improvement in the condition of Gen. Grant was noted by the bulletins t-ele-grapbed lrom New York on the morning of April K. He had passed a comfortable night, securing many hours of refreshing sleep, and In the morning chatted pleasantly with members of the lamily and the doctors. “There iB talk of taking the General to the mountains as soon as the weather relaxes somewhat in its severity, provided, of course, that he continues to improve," says one of the dispatches. “The General chafes constantly a: his confinement to the sick room, and longs for a change, and it is thought that if he can be successfully removed to the bracing air of the mountains there •will be more chance, for him to regain his strength. It is also thought that he would be troubled less with the accumulation of mucus In the throat if hooould breathe the dry atmosphere of the inland mountain regiou. Instead of the humid air of the coast.” Rev. J. P, Newman, the General’s pastor, was interviewed toy a reporter. “Gen. Grant is very»much better," said the parson. "He converses readily with those around him, and seems to be quite cheerful and happy. He is sitting partly dressed and In a dressing-gown. There is a great improvement in his condition. The oolor of his akin is dHferect- He looks more like a healthy man. He is buoyed up by faith. The prayers of the people of the whole country have been '.."'offered up for him, and they are being answered. He now believes he will get well He feels and I feel that the supplications of so many millions of people for such a consummation will be answered. There la a grand chance of the General’s getting well again. Bis improvement may be credited particularly to the power of mind over matter. To-day, as I parted from him, he pressed my hand and said: ’Thrice have I been in the shadow of the valley of death, and thrice have I come out again.”’

A continued improvement in Grant’s condition was noted in thy, bulletins issued on the morning of Friday, April 17, and the belief was gaining strength that the illustrious patient might ultimately recover entirely. The General surprised his family and friends by walking down stairs unaided, while the former were ut lunch, and, after taking bis place at the table, ate cold mutton, cut very small, and macaroni. Senator Chaffee, speaking of this surprising evidence of returning strength, remarked, "The familv'were entirely surprised, but highly delighted, and now indulge hopes that he may get well entirely. His throat Is better, less painful, and the doctors say there is an improvement in the disease itself. I am somewhat inclined to think there is something in that. ’’ ’’ That is merely an aggravated case of ulcerated sore throat?” “Yes, somethin! of that kind. I think there is a possibility of it at least. I asked Dr. Bhrady about it, but he does not think so. He says tint some of the little pieces that have been taken from the sore have been subjected to —microscopic examination by other physicians, and they have all agreed that it was epithelioma cancer. He Bays thev oonld not have been mistaken. But it is my opinion that there is at least a clianCe that they were." Mr. Dana said editorially in the Sun, in its issue of April 17: “The improvement in Gen. Grant’s condition steadily continues. It is now ascertained that his disease is not cancer, and there is no reason in his physical organization why he shonld not recover his health entirely." New York dispatches of the morning of Saturday, April 18, reported favorable progress in Gen. Grant's case. The illustrious patient M Friday in a quiet manner, at times paci room, and suffered no pain in swallowlng his food. He talked freely with members of the family. In contradiction of the statements Bent out that the General’s malady was not cancerous, but only an aggravated sore throat, the doctors want the public to understand that “he is. suffering from epithelial cancer of a mall'enknt form, and incurable. Thgre cannot be the slightest doubt of this. Aside , from the many diagnoses that have been made, the progress and symptoms of the disease have been practically in the line marked out by the highest medical science for its development. Not a physician or expert who has been connected with the case has differed from his colleagues in the resul ts of his investigation.”

The bulletins telegraphed from New York ou the morning of April 20 in regard to Gen. Grant’s condition reported the patient as still on the mend. He had passed two good days and nights resting quietly, sleeping soundly, and taking his nourishment at regular intervals. In the morning he dressed himself and walked about the house during the day. At one time he appeared at the windows and smiled at a number of people who were on the —ntrtet; -an^-ale©-gave them -a -military saluteNot withstanding the improvement in the General's condition, the physicians persisted in their claim that the disease would terminate fatslljvthough death might be delayed for an ’ indefinite period.

Gen. Grant enjoyed another night’s unbroken rest, and the morning of A\>ril 21 found the sufferer so far improved that the physicians gave their consent to his taking an nlring in Central Park. Shortly after noon the family carriage was driven to the door. “Gen. Grant heard the rumble of wheels, and as the driver reined up the team the sick man pulled aside the curtains a moment to assure himself that the time had come for the longed-for drive. Harrison, the colored nurse, with- a fur robe upon his arm, emerged from the house and prepared the carriage. A moment later the General appeared. He wore a high hat; about bi 3 neck was a silk scarf, and closely buttoned about his figure was a heavy beaver overcoat. The General carried a light cape, and, unaided, walked down the steps with a firm trea d. As ho crossed the flagging he bowed and smiled as a hundred hats were lifted in salute by those who had assembled on the walk across the street. As the General was stepping into the carriage he glanced up to the colored coachman and bade him good-morning. Harrison, as he mounted to his place with the driver, remarked: ‘That don’t look much like a dead General, does it?’ and his face was wreathed in smiles." The sufferer refuged to go out riding Sunday.the 19th, gTving as an excuse that at the time there were uianv people praying for hfm, and it would hardly be right that he should appear in public.

They will have the advantage of heavy •woods in which to fight unless shelled out by artillery, and, with their knowledge of this style of warfare, may prove formidable They are determined, it is said, to fight to the bitter end, several of them having expressed themselves to carriers that, as hatting only the alternative of being hanged or shot, they prefer tim latter. While not hoping to succeed, they anticipate being able to seriously worry the military and prolong the campaign. Biel has seven prisoners who were condemned to death, but after being taken out to see the bodies of those killed at Duck Lake were reprieved. Kiel allowed the volunteers to come after the corpses of their comrades, giving his word orbonor they would not be injerferred with. He also rescued one prisoder whom the Indians were torturing and saved his life. • • Consult the lips for opinions, the conduct for convictions.

ALBERT EDWARD.

His Visit to Cork Produces Scenes oi Wild Disorder and ] Bloodshed. , ‘ Mobs Hoot and Jeer Him and Destroy Decorations in His HonorSerious Bioting. The Princ6 and Princess of Wales, who have been inaking a tour of Ireland, arrived in the city of Cork on the 15th inst. What followed is thus described in the cable dispatches from that city: The sub was shining brightly and the weather was all that could he desired for such an occasion. The railway station and the streets in its vicinity were crowded with people awaiting the arrival of the royal party. When the train drew into the station it was greeted with hearty cheers. Every* thing within the power of loyalists to do was done to make the reception of the royal visitors a success, and the managers of the demonstration remained up most of the past night to make sure of their arrangements. When the Prinoe and Princess emerged from the railway station after their arrival in the city they were greeted with cheer after cheer. During their progress in the parade, workmen and boys ran alongside their carriage and kept up their cheering to drown the hissing of the nationalists, whb lined the entire route and made continued hostile demonstrations. The conduct of the leaguers aroused the loyalists to a high pitch of enthusiasm, and they made the streets echo with shouts of welcome. The wonder is there was no violent breach of the peace during the royal progress, for it proceeded amid a continual warfare of words and taunts between the loyalists and the nationalists, whose numbers were about equally divided. A nationalist threw an onion at the royal carnage. The vegetable struck one of the footmen with considerable force, and many stones were thrown by roughs at the people who followed and cheered the royal carnage, and the police several times fired at the roughs. J. CHOonnor, Nationalist, member of Parliament for Tipperary, marched at the head of a procession of Leaguers, who closely followed the royal procession and sang “God Save Ireland” every time the Loyalists or their bands started up “God Save the Queen,” or “ God Save the Prince of Wales. ” - The Prince. of Wales displayed some feeling when he replied to the address of welcome presented by the Magistrates of Cork. He said he was glad to hear the expression of loyalty to the British Constitution and to the Queen which the address contained, and hoped that every person possessing influence in Ireland would exert it to avoid dissensions, which would interfere with the object and progress of his present tour through the country and unite to promote the real welfare of the Irish people. . Immediately after the procession was over a meeting of the Cork National League was held. The meeting deolared that the loyalist attempt to get up a fictitious demonstration of welcome in honor of royalty had proved a failure, and passed a resolution congratulating John O’Connor, who managed the hostile demonstrations, for the victory he had achieved for the Nationalist cause. The latest London newspapers containing accounts of the royal progress were burned in a bonfire. After the mass meeting the Nationalists scattered through the city in parties numbering frcta fifty to five hunched men. Doors and windows were smashed, flags and decorations were torn down and heaped upon blazing bonfires, and many gun stores were broken into for the purpose of arming the mobV Policemen, when encountered singly or in small squads, were attacked and beaten unmercifully with their own truncheons. In many cases the police rallied and charged desperately upon the mob, but they were invariably surrounded and repulsed. The police then resorted to a free use of their revolvers • and bayonets. It was hand-to-hand fighting of the most desperate sort, the police standing back and receiving and inflicting terrible injuries. At midnight the streets were practically in possession of the, mob. The policemen woo remained uninjured/could not attempt to do more than maintain their positions and tight on the defensive. In addition to attacks from the crowds in the streets, the police were exposed to murderous volleys of stones from windows, housetops, and other points of vantage. The hospitals are fnll of injured policemen and rioters.
