LONDON, February S.-There can be nc
doubt Of the Pope's death. The morning
journals fully confirm the previous dis
patches from Rome. A special from
Romo s;Otes that the news OF the Pope''
death has already been officially announc'
ed ard gives the following particulars:
The Pope 4, o'clock Wednesday night
felt sudden EufToCation. lie rallied
several times, but said to his physicians
"DeNth wins thia time" He was alter
nately lucid aud wandering. His las
moments were lucid. lie said: "Guarc

The immediate cause Of death was the
closing Of the wound in the leg, whicl
made humors mount into the lungs ant
brain. Cardinals Manning and Howard
and many others were present at hi
death. The Conclavs has commenced
Cardinal Simeoni has demanded troop
and tho government has accedcd to thu
request. Tho Ambassadors accredited ;'
the Vatican have gore in r body to view
the corpse. The Italian government in
surrs the independence Of the Conclaver
and oilers any services that Cardina
Simeoni may demand.
Other accounts say that tho cause o
his death was the mounting Of water tc
the heart. The Pope sSooned and was II

not occur until after the time announced
in the first dispatch from Rome ye'ter-

indifference, strangely contrasting with

tor Emmanuel.

in the statement as to the actual hour ot
the Pope's death. The Times special from
Rome sayS that Mt o'clock in the after
noon an official dispaICh waS sent to the
Chamber Of Deputies announcing that ,he
Pope died at 2;SOP.M Up to sunset the
hour OF death was p!ill uncertain. Death
was denied by the Vatican partisauS, al
