FRENCH AGAIN IN ALSACE

CHOLERA IN HUNGARY

TRIAL OF THE ARCHDUKE'S. ASSASSIN, ■■-■■■

HE GLORIES IN THE ACT,

BRIBERY OF CHINESE PRESS

ROME, Oct. 18. A message from Basle states that the French have re-occupied Altkirch and now threaten Thann and Mulhausen. Reports from the Austrian frontiers state that cholera is rapidly spreading |in Galicia and Hungary. Ten thousand I cases have been reported in Northern [ Hungary. ■ At the Prinzip trial, the prisoner declared that he gloried in his act, the I object of which was not to kill a man but to show the world the desperation fco which Austria had driven the Slav i population. Prinzip said he had arrived at the opinion that rebellion was a duty, \ and the only possible protest -was by I striking- the individual who' incarnated despotism. Prinzip likened himself to Mazzini, Kossuth, and Daniel O'Conr nell. He regretted the Archduke's death. He alone was responsible, and the organiser of the plot. Cabrinovic confessed that he had held anarchist ideas, but during the Balkan war he became a convicted Nationalist. When he heard that the Archduke was visiting Serajevo he conferred with Prinzip in planning the murder. Major Tantosio, of Servia, supplied the weapons and taught their use. Cabrinovic admitted that he had an audience with the Servian Grown Prince in April, but refused to disclose its nature. PEKIN, Oct-18. The pro-German feeling here is the outcome of bribery of the Chinese Press,
