RAMPoLLA's WILL AT ISSUE.
Relatives of Deceased Cardinal De
nounce Testament of 1889.

Rome, Dec. 3O.-The Crown Pro
secutor has begun an investigation
into the matter of the will of the
late Cardinal Rampolla. He has been
enabled to take this action because
of the denunciatiOn of the testament
of 1889 by relatives of the cardinal
who We're excluded as beneficiaries
from this will on the ground that
a later testament has been stolen
or concealed.
One of the interested parties in
the new move is the Duchess of Cam
pobello who believes her children's
names may be included in a later
testament, the testament of 1889
antedating their birth. The Duke of
Campobello is to be prosecuted at
an early date on the charge of forg-
ing the signature of his uncle, car
dinal Rampolla as the guarantor of
note.
Much interest has been aroused byI
the bequest in the testament or 1889
to Cardinal Galimberit who died In
1896, of the Cross of Brilliants which
Count Won Bismarck presented to
Rampolla. Rampolla bequathed It to
Galimberti in recognition of his ser.
vices as negotiator of peace be-
tween Germany and the Holy See.
