PRINCE BISMARCK IS BETTER
HIS PHYSICIAN DENIES THE
ALARMING REPORTS.
His Condition Is One of Diminishing
Strength, But He May Live For
Some Time.

Hamburg, July 27.-The health of Prince
Bismarck is again causing his friends
uneasiness. He has been confined to his
bed for three days and suffers from in
somnia. Besides his physician, DR..
Schweniger, Counts Herbert and William
Bismarck. with their wives, are now at
FREDERICKSBURG.
Berlin, July 27-The Hamburg CORES
pondent of Vossiche Zeitung says: All
the evening papers, with the exception of
the Hamburger Nachrichten, represent
the condition of Prince Bismarck as I'M
favorable. Despite his good sleep, there
is still ground for anxiety.
The Hamburg correspondent of the Ber-
liner Tageblatt also says that 1t has been
Sn anxious crisis, but that there are hopes
that there is now a turning for the bet
ter.
A dispatch from Friedrichsruhe to the
LOkal Auzeiger says: Prince Bismarck
has been seriously i'll for some days with
today. He has eaten an ice and taken
nourShment. There is no immediate dam
ger. What is serious is his extreme weak
ness.

formed conservative newspaper of this
city has issued an extra with the follow
Prince Bismarck's physician, in answer to
an inquiry as to the truth of the report
that the prince is dying:

Berlin. July 27.-In the face of conflict
ing statements and the secrecy main
tanned at FREDERICKSBURG, accurate &C
counts of Prince BIsmarck'S condition
are impossible. 1t is the custom of Dr.
Schweninger to deny all alarmist reports,
first. because his patient is still in the
habit of reading the newspapers when he
is well enough and, second, because he
contends that Prince Bismarck has the
same right of privacy in such matters as
an ordinary private citizen.
From the best available sources it may
be gatAped that Bismarck's condition is
one = diminishing strength and power to
fight against chronic disease, rather than
of sudden collapse or change, and that he
may live for some time unless sudden
weakness of the heart sets in. The infiam-
nation of the vein of the leg is causing
trouble. Some reports that an
open painful sore in one leg prevented
him sleeping and caused general weak
ness.
DR.. Schweninger in a published inter-
view. denies all these alarmist reports.
He complains of the great trouble caused
to himself and the whole Bismarck house

from all parts of the world, saying that
he wants his time for his patient and
cannot be expected to answer inquiries.

A SPANISH BISHOPS PASTORAL
HAVANA PRELATE SAYS SPAN
IARDS MUST FIGHT.
Heroic Spanish Army Cannot Be
Asked to Lay Down Its Arms
Without Struggle.

Copyright, 1925. by the Associated Press)
Havana, July 27.-(FrOm q Spanish cor
respondent 1.-The bishop of Havsal. Mgr.
Manuel Santander Y Frutes. has pub
lished pastoral that has been read in all
the churches. in which he says that there
are times when war is justifiable and re-
minds the people how ST. Louis, ST. Maur-
ice and ST. Fernando became perfect in
military exercises.
The pastoral proceeds: THE war which
Spain IS sustaining against the United
states is a just war. Spain is doing moth
ing but to defend her rights over this
possession When the United States pro-
vokes war 10 take away Spanish prop
erty, what should a brave, proud and
righteous people do? Should they give
populous claimant? Conscience rises
against such injustice and the appeal is
TO the justice of God.
1T is sweet to die for ones country
and in behalf of Gods Justice. Life with
outshonor is a thousand times worse than
DEATH 1t is impossible to ask the heroic
Spanish army to lay down its arms with
out a struggle. The Catholic religion does
not impose upon its vOtaries such humil-
ity as that. Otherwise nations would be
but the playthlngs of those who do not
believe in God. The right to repel force
by force is not merely permissible right;
II is obligatory right. In this case il is
all the more so because the United States
declared the war. In the days of Pelayo
and the times of Cabella, Spaniards cared
nothing about the number of their enc
mics. 1t was a shame to surrender and
they did not give up their rights. They
fought to the death. Neither the army
nor the people is the authority to settle
the issues involved. When the word goes
forth for resistance to invasion. all must
obey without murmuring. without finding
fault"
The pastoral calls upon the people to
give aims to the poor and to help them
in other ways, that their lives may not
be in danger from failing subsistence.
On the morning of July % and again
yesterday several American warships
bombarded Tunas de Zeza, on the south
coast of the island. The Americans land
