Rome, April 16.-After the first
| Thorough examination today the Pa
pal physicians, Prof Marchiafava and
| Amici, posted the following bulletins:
| "The Pope slept TRANQUILITY for sew
eral hours and his temperature for
this morning is 101.S degrees. His
! heart condition is good"
| Despite that and other hopeful re-
ports from the Vatican 1t became
| known during the morning that the
physicians fear that the bronchial
manifestation is of an infectious ma
| ture and has been confirmed by ex
aminations of the sputum and that
they little doubt that death may soon
enSue.
The Pontiff, too, convinced that
his ultimate dissolution from the all
ment is inevitable, this afternoon in
sisted on taking leave of all his per.
sonal attendants most of whom serv-
ed him when he lived in Venice.
Realizing that his end could not be
far off the Papal physicianas con-
sented. They limited the number
of servants to be admitted, singly to
the sick chamber and the length
grooms gardeners and other attaches
Of the Vatican entered the Popes
room, falling on their knees at the
foot of his bed. The Pope spoke to
all of them in the soft Venetian
tongue, first thanking them for their
long service and then giving the
apostolic blessing. Every servator
cried as II his heart would break and
before the audience had gone far
the Holy Father was crying too.
The bronchial feature presented
new and grave symptoms. The part
of the left chest already affected
grew perceptibly with large area
of possible congestion, an indica-
tion of pneumonia.

urged Cardinal Merry del Val to hasten
the administration OF the last sacra-
ments, but the doctors pointed out
that the pope could not retain the vi
aticum In his present condition. He
could not retain it even If he were
able to swallow the wafer. More
over, in his present state the ad-
ministration of the sacrament would
would be apt TO hasten his death. On
the other hand, in case of a sudden
emergency the gacraments could be
administered by any of the prelates in
attendance on the pontiff.
Aged Brother Arrives.
The pope's private secretary, Mgr
Bressan. went to the railway sta ton to
meet the pontiff's aged brother Angelo.
the postmaster of Corazio, who arrived
at midnight. The brother of the pom
tiff and his nephew. Mgr. Parolin.
passed the night In the sickroom. The
pope's sisters, Maria and Anna, and his
niece left reluctantly at late hour
after they had been assured by the
doctors that their brother would not
die suddenly, although DR.. Andrea
Amic1 told them there was slight hope
for his recovery. Cardinal Merry del
Val in answer to their request to be
permitted to stay for the night said
that 1t was contrary to custom for wo
men to be allowed to spend the night
in the pope's apartments. The only
exception to this rule Is when the pope
is actually dying, which. he said. was
not now the case.
1t is known that Cardinal Merry del
Val does not wish the pope's sisters to
be present at the end, as their emotion |
would be so great that 1t would mar
the solemnity of the administration of
the last sacrament, which, according to |
will be given by the cardinal
plenipotentiary or by Cardinal Merry
del Val. the papal secretary of state,
escorted by prelates bearing
lighted torches, noble guards, with
drawn swords, and other officials.
