DECEPTIVE REPORTS
CoNcERNING THE GERMAN PRINCE
And His Hsalth-supprSsSlug the Truth from
the EmpsrOr-ThO Grown Prince Surely
Dying of Capesr-A Plot Against the
CIar-ItaIy E1oitCd-FOrsIEu.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-The report via Paris
from San Reno, to the effect that the
Crown Prince had tainted yesterday and
had remained unconscious for several
hours, is generally discredited by those
who put their faith in the optimistic re-
ports Of San Remo's royal patient that
have appeared in the last few weeks in the
newspapers, bolh here and onEthe Cont.
nent. AS recently as Wednesday night
an official report stated that he was strong
and feeling quite well. 1t Is naturally a
matter Of surprise to those who believe
these reports to learn the next day that
the Prince has been taken suddenly i'll,
and from surprise to dlscrsdit 10 q simple
step.
While, generally speaking, one Is apt to
view with distruBt any statements regard

uniayorable nature that dnd their way to
readers through France, 1t 10 a curious

tain, where others might hesitate. As q
matter OF fact, however, the newH that the
Grown Prince tainted is not surprising to
those who have learned the nature OF his
disease and have read the report Of his
physicians msd0 some time ago. In this
report 1t was stated that the patient would,
for some time, perhaps q few years, appear
as o strong robust man, but sll .he time
the terrible mRlady with which he is al.
ficted would be undermining his health
and q sudden collapse might be looked
for at any time.
One effect Of cancer is to produce
auamia, end this OF course weaksns the
patient. This, II is claimed, Is exactly
what has happened. While the Prince is,
as far as outward appearance goes,
healthy man, he Is slowly becoming
physical wreck, and little by little the can
Ger Is overcoming his strength and his
force OF will. The optimistic reports are
easily explained, strict orders have been
given that no unfavorable bulletins Of the
Princes condition are to get abroad and

even color the reports sent to the Emperor,
as any bad news about Frederick William
would endanger the old Monarch's life.
The official reports that 20 out to the
world are patterned after those that the
Emperor receives. One cause Of hig pes
ent illueas is due to q more truthful re-
port than usual being allowed to get to
him few days sgo. There Is no mistak-
ing the truth. The Grown Prince Is slowly
but surely dying Of cancer.

Tho New Plot Against tho Car.

BERLIN, Jan. 19.-Anests are being
made at st. Petersburg on a large scale
and 1t seems that the new plot against
the Gear has been quite crushed. Many
officers and students have been arrested,
and in tho domiciliary nearches which
have taken place important papers have
been seized. Several railroad officers have
been apprshsnded, but 1t is feared that all
who are implicated have not been traced.
The most extraordinary precautions were
taken for the Czar's safety during hiH short

Of Mrs. Tuttls, an aged woman, who lives
