ri, has unearthed number of import
ant documents bearing upon Spanish
domination in America, and especially
in Cuba. They will be published and
richly bound and copies of the books
will be sent to the Queen Regent of

Sad news has been received regarding
the condition Of Princess Louise of Co.
burg, daughter of the King of the Bel
gians, whose name figured in painful
scandal during the early part of the
year, and who has since been confined
in a private asylum in Austria. The
Princess, who was married to Prince
Philip of Saxe-Coburg-Go eloped
with Lieut.. Mettachich-Keglev in
the latter part of January last. The
Prince later fought duel with the
lieutenant with pistols, and then with
swords, and was severely wounded in
the right arm. He subsequently took
steps to obtain a divorce from the Prin
cess. The mind of the Princess is
steadily giving way and there is now
little hope Of her ever regaining her
intellect.
