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.

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.
