With the cross Of the Legion Of Honor
ON the battlefield. Later on In tho war
ho was made prisoner and sent with
several other officers TO Germany,
whore they were released on parole.
During their captivity, however, the
prisoners were treated with very little
confederation, and at the beginning Of
February, 1891, Prince Bonaparte wrote
letter to Gen. Won Werder In which he
declared that he had no wish for liberty
dishorored by insult, and demanded to
be put in q cell. No notice having been
taken Of this letter. Prince Bonaparte
wrote second time, taking back his
word Of honor not to escape. He was
thersupon arrested and Imprisoned in
the fortress Of Koenigsberg and after
