Vienna Jan. 5.-Reports have been re-

prince is reported even now unwilling
to abandon the belief that the unborn
child may be his. own. While King George
angrily insists that his sons faithless wife
be cast adrift, it is understood that the
crown prince places no obstacles in the
way of a reconciliation should his wife he

be understood. according to report. that
it is impossible to permit the princess 10
return to Saxony and become queen. but
the suggestion is made that she reside in

could see her children occasionally.
No effort will be made to negotiate with
NJ. Giron, who is regarded as a raw stu

might be induced to accept the foregoing
proposals on account of her love for her
children.

PORT STILWELL CLOSED.
No Quarantine officers There and the
Plague is Feared.

City of Mexico Jan. 5.-The govern
mept has issued an order closing the
port of Topolobampo, which now is Of
ficialiy known as Port Stilwell This
action is due to the fact that there is no
quarantine officials at that port, and it
IS feared the bubonic plague might be
brought there from Mazatlan.
Port Stilwell is the Pacific terminus of
the Kansas City, Mexico. & Orient rail-
road and a new steamship line was re-
Gently inaugurated to touch at that port
by the Stilwen interests.
This will not result in any serious in
convenience to the port of the Kanass
City-Mexico line, as it is generally sup
posed that a government health officer
and port master will be sent there inn
mediately. as the ships of the Stilwell
line are now operating along the coast,
and a big shipment Of steel rails from
England is expected at the port within
a short time The ships had rounded
the Horn and were working their way
up the western coast of South America
