a rumor that a battle has occurred at

II to her cousin, Don Francisco D'As-
sisi the elder son Of her maternal uncle.

place on October TO- 1876.
Sacrificed TO the intrigues OF a party
whose interests were based on this
uncongeniai union, Isabella II never

Flight of Isabella.
on September l6. 1868. a great revolu-
ton broke out In Spain. starting with
the fleet off Cadiz and gradually spread
ing over the whole peninsula. The
speedy result was the formation Of a
republican provisional government un-
der Prim, Serrano and others at Mad
rid, and the flight Of Queen Isabella to
France On November of that year
her majesty took up her residence in
Paris. where she remained during her
exile. with the exception of an interval
spent at Geneva during the Franco
PrusSian war. On June 2. 1870. she re-
nounced her claims TO the Spanish
throne in favor of her eldest son, the
Prince OF Asturias.
After eight years Of exile she return

While there she associated with Don
Carlos. the pretender 70 the Spanish
throne. and an eClct was issued ex-
pelling her from Spain for life.
Easy Victim of Intrigue.
The late Queen up to a few years ago
was noted for her cheerfulness and
joviality. IN effect it was this inherent
good humor which made her the easy
victim Of many intrigues, and which 10
a degree caused the scandals which
marked her early life Several years
ago, while III, she seemed TO realize
the effect these scandals had had on her
life. and her nature seemed TO have un-
dergOne an entire reverse. She became
extremely religious IN her demeanor.
The illness which finally ended her
life began with a slight cold some weeks
ago. The illness was aggravated, until
It developed Into influenza.
