DEATH IS NEAR
FOR Ex-PRINCE
Fear Curse of BourbonS'
May End Life OF
Former Heir.

81 United Press
HAVANA, Feb. 7.-Alfonso, Count
of Covadonga, who renowned his
heritage as heir apparent to the
Spanish throne for the love of a
Cuban commoner, lay at the point
of death TO-DAY, suffering from the
curse that has logged males of his
family for generations - haemo-
philia.
Profuse bleeding from an intrin-
,sically minor external abscess on
his thigh caused physicians at one
time during the night to abandon
hope for him. But he rallied and
a blood transfusion-the third of
his illness-was attempted.
Luis Cenocal, young Cuban
medical student, volunteered to give
the blood. 1t could be administered
only at the exact rate of three drops
minute over a period of eight
hours, and the young Spanish
Prince lay hour after hour, some
times comatose, sometimes awaken
ing to ask if his father, former
King Alfonso of Spain, had in
quired about him.
No word came direct from former
King Alfonso at Rome. Instead, still
refusing TO be reconciled to his
eldest sons non-royal marriage. he
telegraphed secretly to q close
friend. Former Queen Victoria, the
Counts mother, also at Rome
though estrarged from Alfonso,
telephoned directly to the apart
ment in the fashionable Vedado
SUBURB where Count Covadonga lay.
He was at the home of his wife's
people. She was Edelmira Sampebro,
daughter of a plantation owner.
An abscess developed on Count
Covadonga's thigh several days ago,
and his condition at once alarmed
physicians. He rallied occasionally,
but there was always the fear that
the hereditary tendency to bleed
"the curse of the Bourbons would
make his recovery impossible.

led to the gas chamber in the

North Carolina. Sanford was pro-
nounced dead in 1917 minutes and
Watson in 81 minutes.
