CLEVELAND, OHIO, Aug. 27. Dr. F. H. Bigger, Rockefeller's personal physician, today declared it as his be lief that Harriman is suffering from cancer of the stomach. He says that the treatment advised by the German doctors is such as would be admin istered anyone suffering from the ef fects ot a cancer.

Watch Our given Mr. Harriman by the European physicians leads me to believe that he is actually suffering from this dread disease. His present diet of biaunouth and rice, compels me to be lieve that a cancerous condition of the stomach is what they are expecting. The use of the bisinouth increases the fluorescence in the organs of the stomach and bowels and is given so that the life of the patient may be prolonged but will in Itself, have no effect on the cancer. "If this cancer is not located and if it should be found Impossible to op erate upon Mr. Harriman, it will It absolutely impossible to relieve hlra and his death is only a question of a few weeks." Wizard Is Furious. Reporters cornered Dr. Lyle, the personal physician and asked: "Did you go to Arden to arrange for an operation on Harriman?" but my own why I went to Arden." He refused to discuss the matter any further. Despite the denials of the physicians, the employes of the Harriman's estate firmly believe he is suffering from a malignant cancer, and an operation will soon be per formed. Harriman is furious regarding the reports ot his illness. He has in structed the operators not to send out any more press matter.

This flash was pick ed up by the steamers Humboldt and Rupert City.
