DEAD AND ALIVE AGAIN.
A JAPANESE PRINCE. (DT CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) TOKYO, March 2. Prince Matsukata and Mark Twain have much in common, for the death of the former is also "greatly exaggerated," owing to what medical men
pronounce a miraculous recovery.
The Prince yesterday was reported as dead, but he is still living, with a bare chance of recovery. Yesterday morning at 11.15 o'clock ho was pronounced to be dead, respiration and the heart having stopped. Shortly after he showed faint signs of recovery, which remained faint tin the afternoon, when he acknowledged the hand pressure of the Emperor's messenger. This morning he took nourishment and is sleeping.
All the Tokyo papers but two, carried death stories and obituaries.
[The "death" of Prince Matsukata (in his 90th year) leTt only one survivor of the Japanese Genro, or elder statesmen.]
