MADRID March lathe duel between
Duke De Montpensier and Prince Henri
De Bourbon, creates intense excitement
1t was caused by some insulting letters
written by the latter, branding Mont
pensier as Jesuit conspiratOr, and call
ing him q bloated French pastry cook.
Generals s. Alaminor and Cordova and
Colonel Solar acted as the seconds of the
Duke, and three Republican Deputies
to the Cortes performed the same SER
vice for Henri De Bourbon. The Prince
won the choice of weapons and ground,
and the right to the first shot
The distance was ten PAGES, the
combatsnts firing alternately. The
weapons used were revolveIs. The first
and second shots of the Prince De
Bourbon missed. At his third the bull
let grazed the cheek Of the Duke caus-
ing slight wound. Mcntpensier's first
shot missed and his second slightly
wounded the Prince and his third
proved fatal, the ball entering the fore
head of the Prince killing him instant
ly. The Duke exclaimed "My God,
what have / done ~ and swore to pro-
tect the Princes children. Montpensier
and his seconds are in Madrid. He
has not been arrested. 1t is said that
the affair will ipjure the Dukes chances
for the throne. When the Duke had
fired twice the seconds endeavored to
effect a recon ciliation but the Prince
was furious and refused all offers. 1t is
rumored that French intrigue is at the
bottom of the duel.
