HIS CASE IS SERIOUS.
Emperor of Austria Is Suffering From
Bronchitis and Fever.

Vienna Oct. 10.-Emperor Francis
Joseph slept quietly last night, only
one valet sitting up in the room adj
joining his bed chamber. This morn
ing his condition showed a slight i'm
provement, but there was considerable
fever and some signs of apathy. 1t
can not any longer be concealed that
the emperor is seriously Ill. He is now
suffering from bronchitis, accompanied
by fever. The symptoms of inf1amma-
ton through the back are growing,
and occasionally nervous spells occur.
The doctors. however, place confidence
in the strong constitution Of a good
patient.
The emperor dislikes to admit being
i'll and causes the doctors much trouble
by opposing their directions. His Won
derful devotion to duty excites the ad-
miration of the entire court This
morning he rose at 4:30, as has been
his custom for many years, and began
work Immediately. He read and
signed documents and personally re-
ceived the reports of court officials.
The doctors in attendance begged him
to return to bed and take a longer
rest, but he stubbornly refused to do
so, and seated himself in a chair
where he appeared to rest comfortably
in spite of the fact that he continued
to suffer from fever. Later the Hun
garian premier DR.. Wekerlo, was adj
mitted to the emperor's -o-ance but

coughing occurred ana ne was obliged

The approaching visit of King AL
fonso of Spain and Queen Victoria to
Vienna is causing much embarrass-
ment to the Austrian emperor, who
will be unable to participate in the
banquet, court ball or other festivities
arranged in their honor. even if he is
able to receive them in his bedroom at
the castle. 1t is even possible that the

Cape Town.-The Germans arc
threatened with revival Of the in
surrection in their South African ter
ritory. Jacob Moorengo, the chief
who has cused them more trouble than
all others combined and who has been
in the custody Of the British since he
sought refuge in Cape Colony after
the last hostilities, escaped, formed a
junction with another chief from the
German colony, and with 400 follow
ers returned swiftly to German South
west Africa. The Cape police fol-
lowed, but the difficulties Of the coun-
try prevented them from intercept
ing the fugitives' chief. Moorengo
has repeatedly ambushed German par
ties, killing 20 to 80 in each affair,
and the German authorities have five
times joyfully, though mistakenly, an.
nounced his death.

as fluent as in days before he was
stricken dumb. The tack rested on a
chair, point upwards, and Mr.. Cox

brought to his lips forceful exclama-
ton. A moment afterwards his wrath
changed to Joy when he discovered ne
