Madrid, February 27.-There is a great
deal OF excitement here over the conflict
ing reports Of the condition of Queen
Christina. Last week it was rumored that
the Queen Regent had had a premature
child birth. To-day it is positively assert
ed by the Regents adherents that no such
mishap has occurred, that she still expects
to be scoouched next month, and that
there is as good a chance as ever that che
will present TO Spain posthumous heir.
which will do away with the COM

of the succession. These latter
statements are supported BY the TACT that
no preparations are making for the coro.

inclined to adopt any expedient, however
desperate, to strengthen her position.
