KIPLING'S GREAT SUFFERING.
Nevertheless He Is Said to Be Convalescing Rapidly.
New York, March 12.-Rudyard Kipling passed a restless night, on account of suffering a good deal of pain. To-day, however, he was much better. As yet no one outside his attendants and his family have been permitted to see him. He is not yet in a condition to have friends admitted to his bedside.
This evening Mr. Doubleday reported Kipling's condition as satisfactory in the extreme, the physical suffering of the patient being due to the resolution going on in the lungs. His temperature is very little above the normal, and he is able to take a considerable amount of solid food.
To-day Mr. Kipling saw his two children for a short time. His little girl, Elsie, is now sufficiently recovered from her sickness to run about, although she has not yet been outside of the hotel.
The physicians have decided that within two weeks their patient will be well enough to remove to some pleasant spot, not yet decided upon, to convalesce.
Mr. Kipling realized to-day for the first time how many friends he really has, and learned of the anxiety manifested during his illness. He read many of the telegrams and letters expressing sympathy with his wife, admiration for him and hope for his recovery.
Mr. Doubleday said to-night:
"Among other messages Mr. Kipling received a cablegram from the German Emperor and commented on it. I am not at liberty to tell you what he said. Perhaps when he is further recovered he will make a statement for the press.
"Mr. Kipling's temperature is very little above the normal to-day." Mr. Doubleday continued. "He is able to eat sweetbreads, jellies, stewed oysters and things of that kind."
