LONDON, June 27.—A bulletin issued from Buckingham Palace at 10:15 this morning says: ‘“His Majesty had a fair night and | has had some scttled sleep.

Mention by the King's doctors of the care with which food is administered to the royal patient and the return of pain in the wound can safely be taken as merely an earnest of their conscientious intention of making public the slightest tient's . condition, the Associated Press learns that besides personally opening | telegfams Wednesday night King Ed- | ward then insisted cn a full inspection of | the honor list.

At 5 o'clock this morning it is reported that a tele- gram was sent to Lord Lis- ter summeoning him to the palace. 1t is reported im Fleet atreet that the special envoy of a great republic notified his Government after mid- night that the condition of the King had again become %o srave as to have mecessl- tated summoning physicians for n comsultation. {| POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER | { ONDON, June 26.—The : l first bulletin not al- | together encouraging in its character since the King's illness be- gan was issued at 11 o’cloek | and though mnot in ftselft | alarming, it caused gloom | everywhere. All during the evening disquieting rumors were circulated in the lob- bles of the House of Com- mons, and a few minutes be- fore 11 o'clock an official statement was telegraphed from Buckingham palace which stated that the King had passed a fairly comfort- able day and has sustained his strength; that there was a return of desire for food, which was to be very eare- | fully given. But the alarm- | ing portion of it was that there had been a return of the pain in the wound. The fact that there was pain was taken in some qguarters as an indieation that a second operation might have to be performed. Closely follow- ing this announcement came another that further advices from the palace mizht be is- | sned about 1 o'cloek in the morning. 1 It was subsequently learn- ed that the pain had doubtedly been caused by the fact that liquid food had , | | | been given to the King. One of the symptoms of the dis- ease is a craving for mour- ishment. Hospital patients usnally belleve when food is denled them that they are starving to death. The afterncon bulleting bhad been more cheerful im tone, and the change in the evening came as a great dise appointment. > £
