CLEVELAND'S CONDITION
BELIEVED TO BE GRAVE

LAKEWOOD, N. J., May 4.-There
is much mystery concerning former
President Cleveland's illness and his
physicians positively refuse to give
any information as to his condition.
Reports are conflicting and, despite
an optimistic statement given out by
Mrs. Cleveland, that the former president
"continues to improve," it was
learned today on good authority that
his condition was not as hopeful as
might be expected.

Dr. Jos. D. Bryant, of New York,
Mr. Cleveland's friend of many years,
still remains with him all day. There
are three nurses in attendance, each
remaining on duty eight hours.

That a collapse may occur at any
time, is manifested by the preparations
which have been made to bring
the Cleveland children here from
Princeton at short notice.
