HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED IN PARIS.
National Associated Press to the Star.
PARIS, June 2l. Intelligence of the death
Of the Prince Imperial in South Africa, was
received here with general incredulity, and
some of the early editions of the papers
published the rumor with scoiling allu-
Sions at its improbability. subsequent
dispatch dispelled this delusion, and the
effect produced by the news was deep and
widespread. Even the radical Republi-
cans expressed sorrow at the death Of the
Prince The agitation of the Imperialists
and Bonapartists was intense. The ques-
ton as to the succession to the claims pos
sessed by the young Prince are now gen.
orally discussed. If provisions formulated
by first Emperor and reasserted by Ma
poleon III for transmission of hereditary
rights to the Imperial crown are preserved,
the succession will fall upon Prince Jerome,
second cousin of the Prince; but it is I'M
possible, in the opinion of the Imperalists,
TO unite that body in any movement in
favor of Prince Jerome.
The French Republican newspapers, in
their articles on the Prince 1mperial's
death, sympathize with Ex-Empress Eu-
genie, but exult over its political effect
The Radical papers have not yet made any
tommenS on tne frlnces ueatn.

VIEWS OF AMERICAN BoNApARrEs.
NEWPORT, r. l., June 21.-A reporter
waited upon Colonel Jerome BoGaparte at
his summer residence here, for the purpose
OF obtaining an expression of his views
upon the tragic death which had befallen
the Prince Imperial in Zaluland. The
Colonel did not think for moment that
the death of the Prince would have any
immediate effect in the land from which he
was an exile, but he frankly admitted that
the blow would be severe one to their
party.
The last time he saw the Prince Imperial
was at Chiselhurst when he took breakfast
with the Empress. That was in December
last The Colonel spoke with great sympa-
thy of the afflicted mother and of the terri
bic effect which the sad news would have
upon her.
BALTIMORE, Mn, June 21.-The cable
dispatch announcing the death of the
Prince Imperial in Zululand created con-
siderable interest here, especially among
The, Baltimore branch of the Bonaparte
families and their immediate friends. Some
9speculation is INDUCED in as to the possbil-
ity OF one of the Bonapartes, in the event
the restoration of the Bonaparte dynasty,
succeeding 10 the throne OF France. Charles
Joseph Bonaparte, however, disclaims any
part or interest in such a chimcrical idea
and does not regard the prospects OF either
himself or his elder brother, Col. Jerome
Napoleon Bonaparte, being called upon to
MD in the Bonaparte restoration as within
the range of possibility.
