BERLIN, May 12-The emperor has again
passed a good day. The baseless reports
circulated this afternoon that there had
been a recurrence of the Inflammation
caused general excitement, until the re-
suits of inquiries at the palace had been
published. The official news concerning
his condition is not entirely Trustworthy,
out the doctors join in the concealment OF
the worst phases Of his malady and max
ing the best of any change for the better,
but reliable information that has been in
directly obtained, tends towards
the hope that the emperor's life
will be prolonged beyond the
recent expectations. AS fav-
orable symptom in his increasing
strength today, his efforts to walk We're
fairly successful. A week ago he couldn't
move his limbs Now, with slight assist
ance, he is now able to take an occasional
turn up and down the room. His fever iu
the morning is very slight, but increases
toward night. His sleepfulness continues,
though frequently broken, but he enjoys
intervals of repose deep and refreshing
His breathing is now seldom labored. The
empress visits his bedside every morning,
awaits his awakening and remains until
the doctors assemble for consultation
when she withdraws to meet her daughter
to go out riding. The regular
medical council consists of DrS. Mckenzie,
Wegner Kraus, Howell and Leyden. Since
Tuesday the weather has been bitter cold,
and the greatest caution Is exercised to
prevent the slightest draft or change of
Temperature The emperor is receiving

empress endeavors to limit the business of
curtailing the number of receptions and
seeks to alleviate the tedium by the perusal
of light literature. The doctors are hope
full that they will be able to remove their
patient to the Friedr1chs castle at Potts
dam early in June, when DR. Mckenzie
Will take weeks holiday. The result of
throat is discouraging. DIR. Mcken-
zie reports that the local NAL
ady is making gradual progress. The
oesophagus is still Unaffected. The dill
Guilty In swallowing is slight, but the re-
striction placed upon the disease has been
only partially successful. Every one who
sees the emperor is struck by his wasted
appearance Before the last relapse he
didn't look like sufferer from a mortal
ailment now he is worn and pallid and
the marks of his long illness are on his
face and form.
Prince BlSmarck'S Sollcltude to prevent
the public mind being lulled into decep-
tive calm regarding the chances for war
was shown by the promptness with which
were made the denials of the peace predic-
ton placed in his mouth iii connection
with the Schun interview. Mr..
Schurz didn't communicate to any per-
son the subject of his conversation with
the chancellor. He is therefore not respon-
sible for what an official note in the North
German Gazette termed an absolute in
venUion." The truth is official circles from
Prince Bismarck outwardS continue to
take the gravest view of the international
situation. The chancellor's latest Efforts
have been directed towards bringing
England into closer relations with the
triple alliance During the visit of
Duke Rutland 10 Berlin the chancellor SO
impressed him with the imminence of a
great European conflict that he was led
to report TO the English cabinet in terms
that scared Lord salisbury into the re-
newal of negotiations with the chancellor
Kalnokey, she Austrian prime minister,
looking to a conference OF the powers to
settle the Bulgarian question, and to re-
wise the Berlin treaty.
