BERLIN. Aug. 12.-It is said here that
there is q strong movement on foot a.

At the head OF this movement stands
the Cars own mother, the Dowage-
Empress Maria Feodorowna, who has
long been worried by her sons lack OF

If it werc not for the Czarina, who
will not give up her high position, there

BRIDE
HAS BEEN CHOSEN
Said TO Be Princess Ena of
Battenburg.
Y o u NJ G AND B BEAUTIFUL
Chances of Match Between These
Young People Considered as
Unusually Good.
0UN G AND BEAUTIFUL

1t is not improbable that before an
other year is out bride will have
been found for the young King of
Spain.
Efforts are being made in all the
courts of Europe TO obtain for him n
wife who will bring prestige and closer
union with another country to Alfonso s
throne.
1t is now said that match is thought
probable between the young King and
Princess Ena of Battenburg, only
daughter of Princess Henry, youngest
sister of King Edward and therefore
niece to England's 5 ruler
Princess Ena is very young, anG is
regarded as the most beautiful and bril-
liant of manageable young women in
the court circles of Europe. She is the
goddaughter of former Empress E,u-
6enie, and is destined TO be the latter'5
heiress so that she VIII have a neat
dover to take 10 her husband. whether
he be the King Of Spain or a noble OF
less rank.
The chances of a match between
these two young people are regarded
as unusually good among those who
are intimately acquainted with court
affairs, although one can never tell
may dictate in another direction.
II is well Known that the young King
went To England with the specific pur-
pose of looking over the prospects of
obtaining a bride from the court of
King Edward. 1t was Frincess Patricia
who had been selected for him, but the
young King received somewhat of a
rebuff from the girl herself when he
made only the customary advances of
friendship. Patricia is known to be
the most Independent member of King
Edwards 5 household, and she put her
pretty little foot down on the PROPOSE
tion to marry Alfonso Her objection
was not regarded with any seriousness
by the royal family. and when Patricia
learned this she made up her mind to
take matters in her own hand
When the King of Spain arrived he
was given such cold shoulder by
Patricia that he retired in defeat and
distributed his attentions in other
quarters. where they were more cor
daily received.
