KING ALFONSO ILL.
Fear of Trouble in Spain Should
Youthful Ruler Die.

London, May 2.-It was remarked at
King Edwards funeral that King AL
fonso Of Spain looked very i'll, and, ac-
cording to the Madrid correspondent OF
the Daily News, his appearance did not
belle his condition, which is causing con-
siderable anxiety 10 court officials.
The King looks worn out. He admits
he was exhausted by the demand made
on him at the funeral. which seems un-
natural in a young man accustomed TO
the saddle and to a hot sun.
It behooves his advisers, adds the cor
respondent. to nurse the Kings strength
as much as possible and 10 prevent him
from OVERRIDING polo. hunting, and other
exaggerated sports, for his death would
mean the end Of his house and throne in
Spain, for the people would not stand
another long regency. and Queen Vic
toria Is not Queen Christina.
