O'Clock in the morning:
"Ihe car passed the night without
sleep. The activity of his heart is di-
mnishing rapidly; his majesty's con
Il ton is very dangerous. His respra-
ton Is very difficult"
This bulletin was by far the gravest
that had been issued and the general
belief here was that the death agony
had begun. His majesty did not sleep
at all during the night and the diff
hculty hr experienced in breathing
made every moment supreme strug-
gle.

The priests will then enter the bed
room and will chant II requiem. This
will be repeated three times daily UNI
