PRINCE OF WALES'S HEALTH

Nairobi, Mar. 3.

It is learned that the Prince of Wales, who is suffering from an. attack of subtertian malaria, is progressing nicely. It is hoped that he will be able to get up, possibly to-morrow.

Competent medical opinion here declares that there is no foundation for the anxiety-apparently felt in some circles in London. It is! pointed out that if a case is treated promptly, as the Prince's has been, the attack passes off quickly, the patient soon completely recovers. and runs no risk in remaining in the country.

In regard to the use of an acroplane on the Prince's safari, it is emphasized that this method never used for the actual spotting of game during a hunt for which aeroplanes are unsuitable owing to the noise of the engines scaring animals. The aeroplane wa: werely used quickly to convey news received in Nairobi, that elephants had been seen near Voi, to the Prince's hunter Kiu and to transport that hunter to Voi.

Mar, 4.

A bulletin issued to-day states! that the Prince of Wales is convalescont and expects to leave for Uganda on March 9 as originally arranged—Reuter.
