OFFICIAL RETICENCE.

WELLINGTON, This Day

There is little more to publish re the Premier than is stated in the bulletin. In answer to enquiries it was ascertained that the symptoms which necessitated the operation only * developed very recently. There is, however, an official disinclination to say anything more, and it was stated that no further bulletin would probably be issued today.

Mr 0. Pragncll, Mayor of Mastcrton, received notification this morning of Mr Massey’s illness, and telegraphed his sympathy, and the hope that the Prime Minister would soon be restored to good health.
