LONDON, June 14.-The news from
Berlin is the chief topic of interest here
tonight. All day long the end of the
royal invalid's brave struggle with death
has been looked for. Fears for the
worst were confirmed when Mr., Smith
made the announcement at $50 this
evening that there was little hope of re-
covery. An official message of such q
nature was left to be ominous and peo-
pie recalled the fact that the announce

death by only few hours, The slow
ness with which the dispatches from
Berlin have been coming all day is as

been besieged by eager throngs. anxious
to learn the first tidings of death,
| Even the German embassy has been
! dependant for information almost
entirely upon the newspapers, and
the news has been of the most
meagre character. Without doubt
the emperor began to sink gradually at
I'M early hour this morning. The tam

hours were awaited with intense anxiety.

since. Despite the efforts of the physi-
clans the emperors strength has dimiu-
lshed. Toward morning he refused to
take the medicine offered him. To-
night he has remained in kind of stu
por, the doctors giving him stimnlants
from time to time which have had
temporary effect. The newspapers con-
tain very scanty news concerning the
emperor. owing to the strict censorship
exercised by the authorities.
The physicians here setting the most
optimistic opinions regarding the en-
peror's case, are skeptical concerning
the issue of the next twelve hours. The
prince of Wales is expected to arrive to-
morrow or Saturday morning. 1t is
rumored that King Humbert has al
ready started for Berlin. The emperor
has been lying all night on bed in the
study where he was placed early in the
evening. He makes frequent signs TO
those around him and seems in full pos

apparently worried about affairs of the
state but is not in physical pain.
Prince Henry and his wife arrived at
