THE SECRET OUT.

 erick's Real Condition Suppressed.

! eriek's Real Condition suppressed. BERLIN, March i9.-There is now no ! doubt that the rumor of the relapse of Emperor Frederick William, was ab- solutely true. Extraordinary efforts to ! prevent the real state of things from being known arc now taken, but 7es- terday the secret came out. The cor respondents Of the London dailies, whc came here with six or seven secretaries, princes of high and low degree. ano many others to whom the health of the Emperor Is of great importance, have suddenly decided not to leave to-day, according to previous arrangements, and are waiting anxiously for further news.
 BIsMARcK's STATEMENT.
 The utmost pressure was brought to bear cn Prince Bismark. but he would not ronounce the Emperor's condition better. He said for publication: "Iis Majesty's condition was about what might have been expected If the phy- sic'ans expect a relapse of serious nature after the funeral" Tis is not encouraging. Dr. Mackenzie was seen lott ring after two intellectual efforts by a pro e sional col cague of his who has come on rom Loadon, and who has been retained here. Dr. Mckenzie is looking pale and tagged. It is known that tle Emperor only slept one hour on Fr day night aud that his rest was broken and unsatis actory Saturday night and y,sterday. Dr. Mackenzie report q that he was under imperial orders to refuse all information. He wished 1t known, howe,er, that he has never predicted the recovery Of the Emperor.
 DESPERATE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
 The desperate situation of affairs may be gathered from the fact that yester- day the Government, which mea ans the Iron Chancellor, ordered that Dr. Mac kenZie should have special guard oi soldiers to protect him from the al legged onslaughts of the friends Of the German doctors, who are jealous of him. The meaning Of this is said, by men who are well informed, to be that Dr. Mackenzie Is to be guarded so that he can not give any information to the public. No known journalist is per illitbtd SNF IT to Stuh Natu tO eiHGt the guard has been established. If Dr. Mackenzie is quoted by the average correspondent now It may be put down as fabrication. Even his mail is under the eye Of men who are try ing to calm the public excitement.
