Mr. Eugene Chen's Official Statement.

Amplifying ours special cable from Canton yesterday giving Mr. Eugene Chen's emphatic state- ment that Dr. Sun Yat-sen's health quite normal again, we are able to state to-day that according to official advices Dr. Sun has never been in danger at all. Indeed we have Mr. Eugene Chen's assurance that Dr. Sun was not ill and was not confined' » to his bed.

"Dr. Sun was indisposed" Mr., Eugene Chen has stated. "I use the word indisposed advisedly."

Mr. Chen has also mentioned that Dr. Sum was indisposed owing to a strenuous day on May 1 when he addressed several meet-- ings. However, he has now fully recovered and it is-over--a week how since Dr. Rummel, his, medi- adviser, has ceased attendance.
