The mystery of King Ferdinand’s illness, which has been the subject alternatively of the gravest reports and sharp denials, has had a curious sequel. .Mr Gedge, the “Daily Express’s” special correspondent in Bucharest,_ has been ordered to leave Roumania within 24 hours, otherwise he will be forcibly escorted to the frontier by gendarmes. This, the chief of police in communicating the decison, described as a “very painful process.” Mr Gedge attempted to telegraph an admittedly true statement to M. Averescu, who has assumed dictatorial powers to cope with possible disturbances in case of King Ferdinand’s death. The Royal Family spent the day at the King’s bedside. MONARCH DDES NOT EAT. Received 12 noon to-day. BERLIN, April 5. A message from Bucharest states that King Ferdinand is dying. He has taken no nourishment for 24 hours, and has been unconscious all night.
