Rome, April 13.--All indications
point to the utmost gravity of the
Pope's condition. At midnight the
fever and cough were giving cause
for great alarm. The impression had
gained ground that the tracheal
bronchitis had developed into pneu-
monia. While not absolutely deny
ing this, Professor Marchiafava said:
AT the present time it could not
properly be called pneumonia, but

the lungs do not function properly.
Probably the resistant and robust
fibre of the Holy Father may over
come this danger. Meanwhile, we
can make the statement, which must
give rise to great hope, that the con-
dition of aibuminuria has disap-
peared."
In the two bulletins issued, one in

the Pope's condition was set forth as
hopeful, but it has been learned that
the bulletins, as prepared by the
