CAUSE OF P0PE'S DEATH
QUESTION OF DOUBT.

Rome Sept. 1O.-Prof Cardarelli, the
eminent physician. who is a member of
the Senate, publishes in the Rivista
D'Italia to-day a long article to dem
onstrate that Pope Leo XIII died Of
tuberculosis cancer or right hydrotho-
raX.
He attempts to show that all the
symptoms of the Illness of Pope Leo
XIII, as stated in official bulletins by
Drs. Lapponi and Mazzoni lead to the
conclusion that the late Pope was not
affected by pleurisy or pleuro-pneumo-
MIA.
Prof. Cardarelli afirms that from
the moment bloody liquid appears n
the pleura, especially when the fluid
gathers deceitfully without pain Of
fever, or manifest cause of pleurlsy
the diagnosis of pleurisy must be ex
Guided and that when the liquid forms
in the right pleura 1t usually indicates
cancer, or hydrothorax in aged peo-
pie.
The declaration that the post NOR
tenn examination confirmed the diagno-
sis made by Drs. Lapponi and Mazzonl
the professor declares is not sufficient
as only careful microscopic examina-
ton in these cases can establish the
real affection of the pleura.

OLYMPIA SUFFERED MUCH
IN THE WAR GAME
Cruiser Is In Ugly Shape at Norfolk
Navy Yard.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 10.-With two
long, deep burrows extending along the
port and starboard sides of her under
body, and a powerful stream of water
gushing from a crushed plate beneath
her engine room, the cruiser Olympia
is resting in the wood dry dock of the
Norfolk Navy Yard.
The work of docking the vessel was
a delicate task for Naval Constructor
Evans, owing to the injuries the ship
sustained when she ran upon a ledge
of rock off the harbor of Portland, dur
ing the recent naval maneuvers, but it
was accomplished safely. and for the
first time since the accident the dam
age has been accurately seen.
Along the starboard side of the Olym-
pia's bottom for a distance of ninety
six feet, or from frame % to frame 49,,
there extends an indentation two and
one-half inches deep. On the port bot
tom, from frame q to frame 45, dis
lance of forty-five feet, the places are
dented to a depth of five and one-half
inches, and many are buckled.
Beneath the engine room there is a
broken seam, and from this the con-
tents of the water-tight compartments
that saved the vessel from sinking on
her trip down the coast, was rushing
in a steady torrent all of to-day. New
plates will probably have to be placed
all along the damaged part of the
Olympia on both sides of her bottom.

London, Sept. 1.-THE temper of the
Bulgarian people and government, ac-

All indications tend to show that,
however loyalty the government desires
to observe a neutral attitude, it will be
forced ere long by pressure from the

to the diplomats in Sofia that unless

rising in Macedonia is taken by the
Powers, Bulgaria will be forced TO

Sdrdeu as warning in this sense to

mand for the observance of a policy of
strict neutrality.

EXCITEMENT AT SOFIA
Is INTENSE

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 10.-The con-
tinuous reports of wholesale massacres
of the Bulgarian population and the
destruction of Bulgarian villages in
Macedonia are causing considerable e1-
element here.
Premier Petroff is said to have in
formed the representatives of the Pow
ers in Sofia that neither the govern
ment nor the Bulgarian people can wit
ness with indifference the humiliation
of the Bulgarian element in Macedonia
and the devastation of the country.
and unless the Powers can find some
means of restraining Turkeys terrible
repressive measures Bulgaria will be
forced to depart from her present attf-
tude of strict neutrality.
Every day brings news of fresh mas
sacres and outrages in Macedonia. The
revolutionary organizations to-day
published elaborate statistics, giving
the names of Ill villages burned by the
Turkish soldiery, the number of houses
in each. the date of the incendiarism
and particulars of the number of per-
sons murdered in each case.
Oficial reports arriving here are sus-
piciously reticent, but no doubt exists
regarding the terrible barbarities prac-
tlced by the Turks regulars and Bashi-
Bazouks on helpless women and chill
