12.30 p.m.— The Prince is going on favorably. All danger is considered past. He can sit up without much pain. The ball was extracted from the left side, just above the abdomen.

4.30 p.m. — The Prince is progressing favourably. He sat up to lunch. A monster meeting of civil servants was held at one o'clock, at which the Governor was present. The civil servants presented an address on the occasion.

5 p.m. — The complete recovery of the Prince is only a matter of time. The surgeons pronounce him to be entirely free from danger. 8.10 p.m. — The Prince suffered consideable pain soon after the extraction of the bullet. The pain continued until about Wo o'clock, and he then h?.d a good sleep, and awoke, much refreshed. The pain had then almost disappeared. The "wound is closing satisfactorily.

| 8 p.m. — The Prince is progressing wonderfully. Freedom from pain continues. 10.30 p.m. — The Prince is progressingfavorably. He is free from pain. I hear from a private source that the ball entered the Prince's back about two inches to theright of the spine at the lower part of the back, and glanced round the upper part of the thigh and under the skin. There is reason to believe that there is noinjury of the internal organs.
