 BERLIN, March 19.-There is now no doubt that the rumor of the relapse of Emperor Frederick is absolutely true. Extraordinary efforts to prevent the real state of things from being known are now taken, but to-day the secret is out. The correspondents of the London dailies who came here with six or seven secretaries apiece, princes of high and low degree, and many others to whom the health of the emperor is of great importance, have suddenly decided not to leave, according to previous arrangements, and are waiting anxiously and uneasily for further news
 The utmost pressure was brought to bear upon Prince Bismarck yesterday, but he would not pronounce the emperor condition better. He said, for publication:
 ''His majesty's condition was about what might have been expected if the physicians expected a relapse of a serious nature after the funeral"
 This is not encouraging. Dr. MackenZle was seen after two intellectual efforts by professional colleague of his. Dr. Mackenzie Is looking pale and Jagged. Dr. Mackenzie reported that he was under imperial orders to refuse all information. He wishes it known, however, that he has never predicted the recovery of the emperor.
 The desperate situation of affairs may be gathered from the fact that yesterday the government, which means the iron chancef- Tor, ordered that Dr. Mackenzie should have . special guard of soldiers to protect him from the alleged furious onslaughts of the friends of the German doctors who are jeal- ous of him. The m ,aning of this is said by men who are well informed to be that Dr. Mackenzie is to be guarded 50 that he cannot give any information to the public. No known journalist is permitted even to send a card tO him since the guard was established. If Dr. Mackenzie is quoted by the average correspondent now, it may be put down as a fabrication. Even his mail is under the eye of men who are trying to calm the public ex- citement.
 The Prince of Wales left last night for Lon don. He was going to Vienna, but he decided at the last moment to go to London. The crown prince of Germany saw him off. The crown prince seized the heir to the British throne in his arms, and they kissed each other on both cheeks, and the ceremony of kissing was repeated with the Duke of Cambridge.
 Before the train started the Prince of Wales rushed back and held an excited conversation in whispers with Germany's next emperor. Both princes were greatly excited It had a great effect. The people rushed away talking wildly to the four quarters of the city.
 Later information comes direct from Prince Bismarck's son that no change for the better has taken place in the emperors condition. This information was secured at the official residence of an ambassador who is on very close terms with the palace.
 In spite of the freezing wind, large crowds of people visited the route of the funeral n Soo Ina The black drapery, which cost 150, 900 marks, will be distributed among the poor.
 All the foreign princes drove to Chariot tenburg to bid farewell to their majesties. All were received by the empress and few bv the emperor
