LONDON, June 4.—A special dispatch from Vienna to the London Standard says: "The Czar of Russia who left St. Petersburg several days since to visit the exhibition is detained at the Austrian Imperial palace of Schonbrunn, one and a quarter miles southwest of Vienna by sudden illness. He is confined to his bed and the Emperor of Austria is constantly by his side. The attack was wholly unexpected. All festivities in honor of the visit of the Czar have been abandoned."
LATER.
LONDON, June 4.—Dispatches from Vienna contain no allusion whatever to the reported illness of the Czar near that city. The statement in a special dispatch from the Austrian Capital to the Standard are probably false.
