POPE PASSES DAY WITHOUT FEVER PHYSICIANS HOPEFUL

Latest Bulletin from Bedside Announces Disappearance of Fever: Pneumonia No Longer Dreaded.

DANGEROUS SYMPTOMS GRADUALLY DISAPPEAR

[By Leased Wire to Evening Herald.]

Rome, April 14.-The bulletin issued tonight by Prof. Marchiafava and Dr. Amici regarding the pope's condition read as follows:

"His Holiness passed the day without fever. His temperature tonight is 99.

Amelioration in the bronchial symptoms continue."

At 5:40 p. m. it was stated that the condition of the pope had remained stationary during the afternoon. His temperature has not risen, which is considered a certain proof that there was no trace of pneumonia and also of the certainty of the pope's recovery unless there are complications.

There was a noticeable amelioration in the pope's condition during the night. The pope's temperature decreased at 1 o'clock today to 98 degrees.

The disappearance of fever is interpreted as a sign that there is no more fear of pneumonia.

Professor Ettore E. Marchiafava on leaving the pope's apartment after examining him, said:

"I now trust that the pope's illness will have a favorable solution if it is possible to induce the patient to take proper care of himself."

The improvement is considered most encouraging. Last night was the seventh since the first relapse suffered by the pope and the gravest anxiety had been caused by his increasing weakness and malnutrition.

It now appears that the attack of coughing suffered last night greatly relieved the pontiff and enabled him to obtain a long and restful sleep.

Rome had been thrown into depression at the announcement of this attack and many thought the pope had reached the last extremity until Cardinal Del Val reassured them.

During the night the pope's temperature gradually decreased until it went down to 98 degrees.
