The King’s condition was unchanged ...i.i morning. To Recuperate KING MAY GO TO SPAIN. MADRID, Jan. 9. After a Cabinet council, the Premier (General Primo de Rivera) stated that, the meeting had discussed King George’s health and the possibility ol his coming to Spain for convalescence. General do Rivera added that King Ab fonso and the Government and Spanish people would be very happy if t’ho report of King George coming to Spam was well-founded, but nothing had been decided. Hope Justified WINTER RESIDENCE BEING CONSIDERED. Received Thursday, S p.m. LONDON, Jan. 9. To-night’s bulletin is the first since Sunday to report a definite improvement aud justifies the hope expressed that the seemingly stationary period through w'hich the patient is passing does not signify that the King is losing ground. Further satisfactory reference to the local condition shows that the disease is virtually conquered. The w'hole problem is now to build up his strength. This, it would seem, is being slowly achieved. Sir Hugh Rigby was not at the Palace to-night, though ho signed the bulletin. He vvas, however, in attendance in the morning. The rays were not applied to-night. Circumstantial reports from Paris say that the new serum is being forwarded from France for the use of the King. It is officially learned, however, that this has not been ordered. It is pointed out that the time for tho useful application of such a scrum has passed. . Already discussion is proceeding as to a suitable winter residence for his Majesty when he is sufficiently recovered.
