KAISER BADLY HURT
HIS WOUND MORE SERIOUS THAN
FIRST REPORTED.
PENETRATED TO THE BONE.
LOST MUCH BLOOD AND HIS EYES
ARE IN DANGER.

General Sympathy and Coincidence
for His Escape, From All Quarters.

Sea-Thc EmperOr's Police Proved
Very Poor Protection.
Berlin, March 7.-Emperor william ar
rived here this morning and went to the
castle, where he was attended by his sur
geon, Prof. Bergman. After the sur
geon's visit the following bulletin was is
sued respecting the wound received by the
Emperor yesterday when attacked by Die
trich Weiland:
'The wound is in the right cheek and
about an inch and a half long. 1t passes
over the zygoma and penetrates to the
bone. Ii has the character of a confused
wound. There has been much bleeding,
but the wound has been closed with ban
daging without sewing. The Emperor
passed fairly good night, is free from
headache and his general condition is
good
The North German Gazette, official, de-
scribing the outrage on Emperor Will
lam, says:
After the outrage the Emperor pre-
served extraordinary composure and be-
trayed no sign of the pain he must have
experienced from such a blow. IL was
only when a little boy at the station ex-
claimed: Look, the Emperor is bleeding,
that a member of his suite was directed
90 tie up the wound The loss of blood
was such that there were stains even on
His Majesty's cloak"
The North German Gazette understands
that the Emperor will be obliged to keep
his room for a fortnight, as the wound
is so near his eyes and the latter must
be used as sparingly as possible.

His Assault the Result of an EpiIep-
tic Attack.

tion proved that he was not responsible
for his actions. He said he felt unwell
yesterday and feared an epileptic attack.
While he was waiting for the arrival of
the Emperor, the sound of a fountain play
ing in a courtyard, caused him to imagine
that he was sailing a ship, his former
vocation having been that of a ships cap
tain. Under this deusion his excitement
increased, and he attempted to heave
lead and three pieces of iron. Then he
lost consciousness.
The missile was fish plate weighing $50
grammes.
