Smalley's Cable Special to New York Tribune
People continue to believe the worst
about the Crown Prince. Bulletins are read
backward, or, at least, ominous hints sup
posed to be dscoverable between the lines. The
fresh alarm springs from the sudden embargo
on special dispatches. The doctors at San
Reno have all been requested to refrain from
talking with correspondents. I happened to
hear TO-DAY from a source beyond question what
Sir Morell Mackenzie writes home. All the
symptoms which have been thought men,
acing since tracheotomy was performed were
foretold by him before the operation. Not
of them implies real or imminent danger. Sir
Morell still maintains his first opinion. that
evidence Of cancer is lacking, and is still hope
full that the Princes life may be prolonged. It
does not'appear that he says how many weeks or
months.
