Rome, May 15.-Pope Plus has entirely
recovered from his recent Illness. Car
dinal Diomede Falconio, who is an Amer
lean citizen, and was for several years
apostolic delegate at Washington, found
the pope today in excellent health, bright,
clear headed keenly interested in af-
fairs and eager to discuss all subjects
of the hour.
Cardinal Falconio was to have been re-
ceived by the pope on April Z. the day the

profound regret that he had been unable
to receive the American p2gramage
headed by Bishop Schrembs of Toledo al
though, he added Il felt quite well, but
was obliged to comply with the instrue-
tions of the doctors"
The cardinal remarked that Bishop
Schrembs and six American priests still
were in Europe and very desirous of see
ing the pontiff. The pope replied that he
would be pleased to receive them. On this
the cardinal suggested that he would try
10 reach them in London before they
sailed, so they might return to Rome for
an audience. Having already remained
half an hour with the pope, Cardinal Fal-
COMO started to leave, fearing he might
weary the pontiff, but the latter detained
him, observing that he had been con-
demned to such long silence that he felt
true pleasure in talking.
MY seclusion was pushed to such an
extreme said the pope, that / was al
most prevented from speaking with my
own sisters. Likewise 1 was dissuaded
from saying mass, but this morning.
