Former Kaiserin
 In Ignorance of
 Suicide of Prince

Doorn, Holland, July 20.-Dr. Van denberg who assists the courts phy- sician in treatment of the former German Emperor, was called into consultation at Doorn Castle today and decided that the condition of the former Empress was such as to for bid her being informed of Prince Joachim's death.
 No service has been held at Doorn castle and no one has gone from there to attend the funeral. The former Emperor is greatly afflicted and his grief is augmented by the necessity of hiding the truth from his wife.
 A special message from Wieringen says that Former Grown Prince Fred crick Wilhelm, though informed o1 the death of Joachim has decided not to come to Doorn. lest his visit upset his mother.
