ROME, March IT. Prince Napoleon is
dead After dismissing all the other dis
tinguished visitors who called upon him
yesterday. the Prince conided to King
Humbert his last wishes. The Prince de-
cidedly rejected any formal religious cere-
monies.
After reading a telegram from Pere
Hyacinthe, which said: Dear friend, we
all pray for you. God alone is your sup
port" Prince Napoleon remarked: when
the moment arrives l STALL be quite ready.
Ny conscience is perfectly easy"
Just previous to the death of the Prince,
the Able Pujol administered to him the last
sacrament OF the Roman Catholic Church.
This afternoon, after consultation with
the other physician IN attendance, DR..
Ba celli informed King Humbert that the
end was near. The last agony soon fol-
lowed.
Prince Victor, shortly before the end, en-
tered the room in which his father was
dying but was so overcome with emotion
that he left the apartment sObbing violently.
The funeral will be conducted with re-
ligiouS ceremonies. The body. will be in
tered in the crypt of the royal mauSoleum
in the church OF La Superba, on Collina
Heights, near Turin.
Able Pujol says the dying man told him
he did not profess the atheistc sentiments
attributed to him, that he was inclined
toward Rousseau's doctrines, and would die
like an Emperor, adhering to the principles
of the Concordat and imbued with the re-
ligious sentiments of the Bonapartes.

the Dreibund to the house of Savoy, and to
advocate the plan Of the Duchess d Uzes to
have the Prince of Naples marry Princess
Helena of Orleans instead of Princess Le-
ttia, whom the Duchess destined for the
Due d'Orleans. Prince Napoleon gave cop
les of his will and memoirs to several trust
ed friends in order 10 prevent their being
tampered with. and ordered that the me-
mOrS should not be published during the
lifetime of eX-Empress Eugene. Able
Pujol administered extreme JUNCTION to en-
able King Humbert to give state funeral
Prince NapOleon's memoirs establish by
written evidence the fact that he never did
agree with Napoleon Ill, even on the day
following the diSav0wal of the AjacciO
speech; that lie always emained French
man and had nothing in view but the inter-
ests of France at the time of the Italian
affair. The memoirs include the Princes
correspondence with Napoleon Ill up to the
time of the lattei'S death.

desire to ship gold they will have to draw
gold coin from the Snb-Treasury.
