?SS After Sinking Spell, in W hich Last Rites Were
Administered. Causing False Report of Death
?Church Bells Toll News.
Rome. Au*. 20 i2:20 A. M.)?The Pope died at 1:20
>ck this morning while thousands kneeling in the churches and
before the altars in their homes were praying that he would be
?pared. Thousands more were congregated in St. Peter's Square,
anxiously awaiting news from the Vatican.
The church bells were tolling constantly, calling their parish?
ioners to prayer.
Following the relapse which almost ended fatally in the af
?? 'noon, the Pontiff .esponded for a time to the efforts of his
*?cians to bring him through the crisis.
His condition improved with the administration of oxygen,
hut signs of suffocation and diffuse bronchial inflammation were
dill evident. His temperature reached 103, with the pulse weak
and intermittent. The chief fear was that another seizure of suf
fo?^ation would mean the end.
Grief over the war in Europe caused the Pope much de?
pression from the first outbreak, and several days ago symptoms
appeared of the old bronchial affection from which the Pontiff
had suffered in times past.
On Tuesday Dr. Marchiafava announced that the Pope was
suffering from a simple cold and that possibly complete rest for a
week would restore him to his usual health. The bronchial con?
dition, however, spread, and on Wednesday it was announced that
the Pope's condition was serious.
Dr Amici said that the Pope's practice of living in heated
rooms and breathing vitiated atmosphere, due to large assemblages
ip the Papal apartments, was against him, and he added that the
people would now understand why the attending physicians were
strone'v opposed to the resumption by the Pope of collective audi?
ences.
At times during the day the Pope had much difficulty in
breathing. He suffered much from headache and inability to rid
himself of the accumulation in the lungs. Stimulants were in*
jected and oxygen administered. Several times the Pontiff re- .
d and seemed much better. He would then speak to those
about him and insist that his desires be executed.
Throughout the day Doctors Marchiafava and Amici de?
moted their utmost energies to stimulating their patient end keep
rum alive. The Cardinals were notified of the Pope's condi
? and some of them who entered the sickroom describe the
ssive and heartrending scenes, especially when the Pontiff,
rousing himself from time to time, spoke. Once he said: "In
M nt times the Pope by a word might have stayed the slaughter,
but now he is impotent."
The sisters of the Pope and his niece were overcome with
grisi. Cardinal Merry del Val knelt by the side of his bed, where
?.iber Cardinals joined him, the members of the household inton
?ri; prayers.
The dying Pope, in a moment of lucidity, said: "Now I
begin to think as the end is approaching that the Almighty in His
inexhaustible goodness wishes to spare me the horrors Europe is
undergoing."
In one of these intervals he asked for Monsignor Rosa, who
waxs recently appointed secretary of the Consistory Congregation.
Monsignor Rosa had been an intimate friend of the Pope since the
Pontiff was Bishop of T revise
As soon as he was notified he rushed to the Vatican and was
immediately admitted to the apartment where the Pope was lying.
Monsignor Rosa remained with the Pope and the incident was

GERMANS DRIVE FOE
BACK UPON BR?SSELS;
ARMY NEARSANTWERP
Fight Begins From Diest to Namur, Includ?
ing Waterloo?Belgian Cavalry Forced
to Retire at Centre.
EXTREME FRENCH LEFT IS STRUCK
Reported Engagement Taken to Indicate Enveloping
Movement by Kaiser's Right?Allies Advancing
Steadily in Neighborhood of Gembloux.
Br?ssel?, Aug. 19.?It was th? turn of th? German? to-day
to move forward upon the enemy in considerable force. They
appeared at several points on the allies' front and pressed on in
overwhelming numbers. The allies gave ground slowly, evacu?
ating the advanced positions which had been occupied as a result
of yesterday's great cavalry drive.
The Germans fired several shells into Tirlemont without
doing any damage, and the allies, now narrowed in tie extent of
their lines, occupied a new defensive position close to the capital.
The next move by the invader is eagerly awaited.
Louvain is occupied. The allies are now faced by a large
army, and the next twenty-four hours should witness important
developments.
An engagement is reported to have taken place in Northern
Limbourg. The armies in that district compose the extreme French
left and the German right.
The Belgians and French are now in close junction and in
contact with the advance lines of the German array.
Present indications are that the rival forces will face each
other on ground extending in a great semi-circle from Diest to
Namur, curving by way of Quatre-Bras and Wavre close to the
historic field of Waterloo.
When the Germans showed signs of pushing forward against
the Belgian centre yesterday, the cavalry division and the cyclists'
corps, which have been holding the Germans' advance in check,
fell back upon the main force.
Refugees from Diest, Tirlemont and other towns in that
section of Belgium, who fled as the Germans approached, are
coming into Brussels in great numbers. They declare that since
the inhabitants vacated Tirlemont German shells have been drop?
ping into the town and that later the Belgians broke the German
advance at this place at the point of the bayonet.
The German advance posts covering the region between
Gembloux and Jodoigne are being gradually pushed back before
the advance of Belgian and French forces.
The Germans, it is believed, are attempting an enveloping
movement northward, probably aiming to cut off Antwerp and
possibly the railway to Ghent and Ostend also.
London, Aug. 20, 3 A. M.?The advance of German troops
around and above Brussels, and even into what are practically the
suburbs of Antwerp, is indicated in Reuter dispatches from Ant?
werp, which report that German cavalry has been encountered
near Herenthals, fifteen miles east of Antwerp, and also near Turn
hout, twenty-four miles northeast of Antwerp and close to the
Dutch frontier.
A Havas Agency dispatch from Brussels gives an official
communication concerning the present state of the field operations
in Belgium.
"After having lost much time and a great number of men, and
besides important war materials," the communication says, "the
Prussian right wing has succeeded in gaining on both banks of the
Meuse the ground to bring them into contact with the allies' armies.
"The German troops on the north side of the Meuse com?
prise sections of different army corps, whose efforts have b??n di?
rected toward the capture of Liege and who are now disengaged.
There also are bodies of cavalry, thanks to which the Germans
have been able to make considerable disturbance and extend
themselves north and south.
"On the south the allied Belgian and French armies have
been able to repulse them, but to the north, on the contrary, they
have had a free field and could penetrate in small bodies far into
the country.
"In a word, the Germans have taken a number of our posi?
tions, but heve wasted fifteen days in arriving at this result, which
is greatly to the honor of our army."
Another Brussels dispatch to the Havas Agency says that
according to "Le Peuple," the Germans again attacked Diest on
Wednesday afternoon. They appeared to come back in force
and bombarded the town, whose inhabitants fled in terror. The
German artillery is also reported to have bombarded Tirlemont.
One Havas dispatch from Brussels, sent in very vague form,
leads to the belief that the Germans made a surprise advance
close to the Belgian positions defending Brussels. They encamped
for the night, but a Belgian aviator discovered their position and
revealed it to headquarters in time. Cavalry was hurried forward
The Brussels correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Com?
pany says:
"It is becoming practically impossible to get news away from
Brussels, as the censor forbids any information concerning the
movement? of the troops being published. However, it is cer
