INFLUENZA.

THE DUKE OP CLAEENCE.

[Special to Peesb Association.! LONDON, Jan. 12,

Tbe Duke o£ Clarence’s illness pursues a somewhat severe character. The official bulletin announces that the sufferer’s strength is well maintained, but his condition has not improved. A bulletin issued this evening states that there is no marked change in the condition of the Duke of Clarence, though he is somewhat better.

Sir Francis Knollys, Private Secretary to the Prince of Wales, two of the Princes’ equerries, and several other members of his household are prostrated by influenza. Lord and Lady Brooks and many of the aristocracy are suffering from influenza, and three hundred men of the Grenadier Guards have been laid low by it.

News from the Continent states that in the hospitals in Munich yesterday 112 persons died of influenza. Half the population of Dunkirk is suffering from the malady, which is decreasing in’ severity in Berlin and Yienna.

The stock of coffins in Copenhagen is exhausted. [Received Jan. 14, at 1 a.m.] It is reported that the pneumonia from which the Duke of Clarence and Avondale is suffering is increasing. The public displays anxiety owing to the weakly nature of his constitution and the guarded character of the last medical bulletin. Jan. 13. The medical bulletins issued yesterday respecting the health of the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, were of a disquieting nature, due chiefly to his having passed a restless night. Ninety-five deaths from influenza were reported in London last week, as compared with thirty-seven during the previous week. The death rate of those attacked is thirty-two per thousand.
