SPAIN’S DYING MONARCH.
The Infant Ktnc’s Fever Has Increased.
His Mother's Fears.
Madrid, Jan. 11.— The illness of the
infant king has assumed a most alarm¬
ing phase: He is extremely weak. The
royal physicians have little, if any hope
of his recovery. At one time it seemed
as though he was dead, but be subse¬
quently rallied. Senor Sagasta, the
prime minister, has been summoned to
tiie palace, where he is awaiting the end.
Queen Regent Christina sent a tele¬
gram Vienna, to stating Emperor that Francis King Joseph, Alfonso at
is
much worse.
The latest bulletin issued by the king's
physician states that his fever has
slightly increased.
Th* baby king ot Spain, Alfonso XIII, is the
posthumous son of Alfonso XII. He is in his
fourth year. Before his birth his elder sister,
Maria de las Mercedes, princess of the As¬
turias, had been proclaimed heir to the
throne, as no male successor existed, but, on
Alfonso's birth Mercedes took a back seat,
bat will again be heir apparent in event of
Alfonso's death, according to the Spanish law
of succession to the crown. She is tfovr »
years old and has a sister, Maria Theresa, Id
her 7th year.
Maria Christina has been acting as queen
regent since the death of Alfonso XI 1 , and
will continue to do to, no doubt, unless the
Republicans force a coup d’Atat at the baby
king’s death. The queen regent Is an Aus¬
trian. Her cousin was the late Crown Prince
Rudolph, who committed suicide at Meyer -
ling, and her brother is now heir apparent, by
that tragedy, to the Austrian throne.
