Recently the death Of the Archduch-
ess Maria Antonio, dowager Grand
Duchess of Tuscany, was announced
from the village Of Gmunden, IN Up
per Austria Owing to the will OF
this Princess the papers OF Vienna
and Budapest have revived the specu-
lations as to whether the Archduke
John. known to the world as John
Ortiz. is dead or alive. According to
a codiciI to the will of the late Arch
duchess she bequeHthed Il third of her
fortune to John Orth. The date of
this document is April Is, 1897. Ever
! since the vessel in which the Archduke
took passage went down several years
ago off the coast of South America
the fact of his death has been dis
puted. During the Chino-Japanese
war the rumor spread over Europe
that he had been identified in the
japanese General Yama3ato. Other
accounts say that he is living in some
South American city, and others still
that he is dwelling incognito in a Eu-
pean capital. But wherever he may
be, if he is alive, it is believed that
he still keeps up communication with
old friends at the Vienna court. A
significant feature in the codicil OF
the Archduchess's will is that it makes
no provision for the disposal of the
property bequeathed TO the Archduke
John in case he be dead. The docu
ment assumes that he is alive. New
