BERLIN, June 2.-Europe in general
and Germany in particular have been
treated to two genuine sensations this
week, and 10th of them have been re-
garded as likely to have serious results.
The first of these was the announcement
by the Reichsanzeiger yesterday that an
operation had been performed upon
Emperor William. and that small
encysted tumor had been cut from the
emperor's cheek. The second startling
piece of news was contained in the els
patches from Sofia, which announces
that a revolution of some magnitude
has broken out in Bulgaria as the re-.
! suit of the fall of the Stambuloff cabi-
| net.
The official announcement of the
operation performed upon the emperor
naturally caused the circulation of many
sensational ruInors. which created mo-
mentary alarm throughout Germany, in
view of the fact that his father died of a
disease which caused much discussion
IN medical circles at the time. One set
of physicians were Of the opinion that
Emperor Frederick William died
| of cancer. while another set
of medical experts thought that
he was simply suffering from a
| W art. without cancerous symptoms.
The latter set backed up the opinion OF
| DR., Morell Mackenzie. who was sent by
Queen Victoria to attend her son-in.
law. When the emperor died. some
! was generally understood that the frs,
set of physicians had bowed to the
opinion of DR.. Mackenzie, and that il
was finally admitted that he had moi
suffered from
A-CANCE RoUs DISEASE.
Consequently the announcement Of
the operation upon Emperor William Ii
yesterday, coupled with the fact thai
considerable anxiety has frequently
been expressed about the e mperor's
health. caused alarm throughout Ger
many until it was recognized that the
official notice of the operation wa:
published with the express view
of forestalling any exaggerat
ed or sensational stories, whicf
would inevitably have been circulated
broadcast if the operation had been per
formed without notify ing the public ol
| the fact. 1t now appears that Prof. Berg

; cheek an atherona. an eneysted tumoI
containing curdy matter, about the
size OF cherry, in less than
five minutes and without the
use of an an@sthetic. There was very

fected by it. The tuInor, it Is added
was the growth of onlya few months
and it is asserted upon the authority OF
the emprror's physicians that it had nc
couneIt ton whatever with the old cal
trouble. which has been the subject oil
so many sensational rumors for years
past. The tuDor, it is also said. caused
the emperor absolutely no incOnyen
fence. and the operation itself in nc
way distressed him beyond the fact thai
his face is covered with small band.
