KILLED For HER DIAMoNDs.-A re-
port comes from Salvador that Princess
Dolgorouky, who claimed to be the
morganatic widow of Car Alexander
II, was poisoned in Salvador by her
secretary and an adventurer named
Count De Castro Sormenho. She died
suddenly, and her death was given out
as from yellow fever, but the body was
disinterred by the authorities, whose
suspicious had been aroused, and an
autopsy revealed that she had besn
poisoned. The alleged Princess went
to Salvador from Paris under contract
to play the violin at the Exposition aud
left there about two months ago. She
was heavily bejewelled, and it is thought
her diamonds and the money she car
ried were the objects sought by the
criminals. The Count said he was a
Portuguese grandee from Brazil, but he
was apparently of doubtful antecedents.
