The Demise of the Pope Officially An
nOuMced.


LONDON, February S.-A specla
from Rome states that the news OF the
Pope's death has already been officially
announced, a@d' gives the following
particulars: The Pope, at o'clock
Wednesday night, felt sudden suftoca-
ton. he rallied several times, but
SAID to his physicians, death wins
this time lie was alternately lucid
and wandering. His last moments
were lucid. lie said, 'Guard the
church | loved SO we'll and sacredly."
The immediate cause OF death was the
closing oil the wound IN the leg, which
made the humorS mount into the lungs
and BRAIN Cardinals Manning, How
ard and many others were present at
the death.
The conciaVe mas commenced. Car
d'nal simeonl has demanded troops,
aud the government has acceded to his
request. Ambassadors accredited to
the Vatican have gone IN body to
view the corpse The Italian Govern
ment lnsures the Independence of the
conclaVe, aud offers any services that
Cardinal Simeon may demand.
Other accounts say the cause OF
death was the mounting of water to
the heart. The Pope swooned, and
was In extremls at clock, but death
did not occur TIL after the time an.
nounced In the first dispatch from
Rome yesterday The aspect of the
city is quiet to Indifference, strangely
contrasting with its appearance on the
death OF King Victor Emmanuel
month ago.
There seems to be considerable con-
flict of statement as to the actual hour
of the Pope's death. A Times dis
patch from Rome states that at three
o'clock in the afternoon an official dis.
patch was sent to the Chamber of De
putles announcing the Pope died at
2:3O p. NJ. Up to sunset the hour Of
leath was still uncertain. The death
was denied by Vatican partlsans, al
though they agreed that the Pope was
dying or could not live through the day.
The sacrament was exposed In St.
| Peters, bnt covered with white veil
only. We were told that the veil was
to be removed after the Pope's death.
The veil was not removed at 8 p. M
possibly from vain desire to conceal
the event. Ihe barracks surrounding
tie Vatican are crowded with troops.
This precautlon is superfuous. No
other movement than that OF curiosity
Is percepuble among the people.
q Berlin dispatch says: 1T is safe
to say oermany>s policy toward the
conclaVe Will be one OF absolute non
interference, II not OF indifference.
A Rome correspondent OF the Times
says the report is IN circulation that
Cardinal Dl Petre has been elected
rope oy acciamatlon, but 1t Is not be-
lIeved. The Cardinal is young and
