GREAT BRITAIN,

LONDON, Dec. l, 2 p. ma dispatch
bearer, who left Sandringham at 1890 D.
m, told outsiders that he did not hope to find
the Prince alive when he returned, and that
the members of the royal family and others
have given up all hopes of his recovery.
Tne only special bulletins ofthe condition of
the Prince issued to-day are the following:
Sdndrfnghdm, q. m.-The Prince passed
a restless night. There has been further
recurrence Of grayer symptoms. His state
continues precarious.
Sdfldripgbdn, nOOn.-The Prince is in
the same precarious conditiln n. The Symp-
toms are unaltered.
Since the last bulletin was received the
telegraph line 10 Sandringham has been
closed to the general public, because the
wires we're burthened with messages to the
Queen from charlatans, quaclzs and officious
persops rendering medical advice.
LONDON, Dec. IL, 3 p. M.-An unofficial
telegram dated Sandringham, P. NJ, says
it is evident from the distress which prevails
there that the last hours Of the Prince are
approaching. The whole household has
been thrown into the deepest gloom by the
words of special messenger, who left the
sick chamber shortly after noon with dis
patches for London. He declared unreser-
yedly that he did not expect to find His
Royal Highness living when he returned.
1t is evident that all hope is abandoned.
Prayers for the recovery of the Prince
were yesterday offered in the Anglican and
Roman Catholic churches, the Jewish Syna-
gogue, and in dissenting chapels. There is
profound, wide spread feeling of grief and
uneasiness. Business is almost wholly sus-
pended throughout the country. The
morning and evening papers issue extra edi-
tions every hour. The official bulletins are
surrounded by great crowds of anxious,
silent people.
1t is reported that, with one exception, the
Prince has been unconscious since the first
of the month.
LONDON, 8 P. M.-The following is the
latest official bulletin:
SGldringhdDl, 5 p. nl.-The Prince was
very restless during the afternoon, but his
exhaustion is not increasing.
SANDRINGHAM, Dec. IL, 10 P. M.-The
Prince of Wales has not slept during the
evening, but his general state continues
unchanged.
A Telegraphic Blockade.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The strike of tele-
graphers continues, greatly to the embar-
rassment of the public at the present juno
ture. The wires are crowded with mes
sages. Serious delays are expected in both
public and private service.

current resolution, requesting the President
to cause negotiations with Great Britain
and Mexico, with view TO ascertain the
condition ON which they would consent to

Mr.. Banks thought there would be no
objection to its reference to the Foreign
Affairs Commission, but Mr. Bingham OBJ
jected, and the resolution was not'received.

gress.

Has Grant Violated the NeutraIity
New YORK, Dec. IA special dispatch
from London says that tremendous excite
ment prevailed in Madrid ON the receipt OF
President Grants message relating to the
Cuban difficulty. The government has re-
solved to maintain firm attitude. Rein
forcements of 1000 men, two additional
generals and four iron-elads will be imme-
diately dispatched to Cuba.
Another special dispatch from London
says that the question Of alleged violation
of neutrality by the United States with
regard to Cuba was discussed by the Coun-
Gil of Ministers at Madrid on the 9th. As
the result Of the Council, dispatches were
sent to the Spanish Minister at Washington,
which are said to contain important instruc-
tions respecting the attitude of the United
States toward Spain in Cuba. The course
OF the American government is likely to af-
feet the Alabama Claims in the Geneva
Conference by furnishing a precedent in
favor Of the British government in the cases
of the Hornet, Florida and other privateers.
Dispatches on the subject of the Geneva
Conference have also passed between the
Cabinets of Madrid, Florence and Berlin.

Snow SToRM-One of the most fearful
snow storms ever known at this season of
the year, prevailed over large portion Of
Montana, Utah, Kansas, and other parts of
the far West, on Saturday and Sunday,

sudden and unexpected that hunting par
ties and travellers on the plains were en-
tirely unprepared for it, and great suffering
and loss of life, il is feared, viii result from
the exposure. Two companies of United
States infantry were caught in the storm il

feet and hands, while the telegraph brings

in Western Kansas have already been dis
covered frozen stiff, and it is believed that
