Ills CONDITION is SERIOUS BUT \()T DESPERATE. Physicians Mold Oik Hope or Recov? ery Hut His Strength Cannot With? hold Repeated Attacks?Pnoumon ln Has Developed from Influenza. Rome, April 15.?Once again there has been a sudden change for the worse In the condition of Pope Plus X? It is Changei such as this that have repeatedly transformed the feel? ing of optimism regarding the popes ? very into one of grave anxiety, In the knowledge that each recur? rence withdraws something from the forces of the holy father. Notwithstanding the reassurances oi Prof. Marchlafava, a careful watch is being kept in th<> Vatican and there is doubt that the "satisfactory gene-1 ral condition" of the pontiff, as re? ported by the doctors, is borne out by the facts. The temperature of the pope, Which throughout almost the whole day re? mained at 97 degrees, in Itself indi? cating depression and weakness, rose in the early evening'to 100 and later to 102. The bronchial symptoms, which at the morning examination Were found to he diminished, pre? sented new and grave features this evening. The affected zone on the left side of the chest was further congested, with a possible area of con? solidation?one of the signs of pneu? monia?and the sounds within the bronchial tubes were more pro? nounced. The attending physician ordered a special bacteriological examination of the sputum to ascertain Whether it contained infectious matter and the nature id' detrius that threatens to block up the lungs. The darkest reports are being cir? culated, one being that the pope is at the point of death and that Father Agostlne Plfferl, an Augustlnlan monk, has been ordered to be in read? iness to luing to the patient the last communion, this being the preroga? tive of his office. This appears to be an exaggeration of the situation, although undoubted? ly the pope's condition is much worse, as lie did bot take sufficient rest today and overexerted himself, as he had done on previous occasions. This re? sulted in general prostration, increase in temperature and inability to retain nourishment, even the very lighetest. FIRES itAt.lNt; IN FOREST.
