AN UNFOUNDED RUMOUR.

LONDON, May 24. It is officially announced that Queen Alexandra is very grieved at a report printed and circulated by some Society that King Edward's death was caused by a vaccine treatment which he had received to prevent his contracting influenza or pneumonia before the journey to Biarritz.

Queen Alexandra wishes it known that before King Edward left England he never felt in. better spirits _ than after this treatment, for it kept him in excellent health, to his Majesty's entire satisfaction, for no less than fifteen months.

The attack at Biarritz was in no way related to the previous course of treatment.
