ADMIRAL DUMARESQ.
NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE. MANILA, July 12. Admiral Dumaresq is not expected to live twenty-four hours. The doctors have given up hope, and say that only his strong constitution has kept him alive so long. Received July 13, 9.30 p.m. MANILA, July 13. Admiral Dumaresq, while en route from Australia to Hongkong, developed pneumonia when nearing Manila. He was taken off the ship in a stretcher and carried to a military hospital by the courtesy of the United States Government. He improved after a week’s treatment and prepared to start for a higher altitude for convalescence when he relapsed. Five physicians are now alternately at his bedside. During the six weeks Admiral Dumaresq fluctuated between improvement and relapse, but now lung infection has set in, sending poison through his system and reducing resistance. The physicians marvel at the strength of constitution which from time to time has enabled him to show remarkable evidence of recovery.
