ALFONSO TO WE'D PRINCESS.
Young Spanish King Is to Marry
Ena OF Battenberg.

Ena Oh battenDer8.
Spain is rejoicing at the announce
ment that King Alfonso will wed Princess
Ena of Battenberg in April. The hoy
kings" subjects and ministers have long
wished to see him married, but the youth
full, lively, and somewhat eccentric mon
arch has shown a great deal of reluctance
to assume the bonds of matrimony, and
when he did turn his attention TO the
task of finding a queen for Spain he
proved very difficult to please.
Princesses of various royal houses of
Europe have been reported as having won
the young kings heart. but the reports
proved not well founded. During his re-
cent visit in England King Alfonso dis
played great admiration for Princess Bea-
trice, King Edwards niece, and it was
heralded far and wide that the pretty
English princess would become queen of
Spain. This proved another error, for
Alfonso returned to Spain, still heart
whole and fancy free.
When he met Princess Ena of Batten-
berg, however, the young monarch capitu-
lated at once to her charms. He paid
ardent court to her and won her consent
to share his throne.
The young king is the godchild of Pope
Leo XIII. and the Infanta Isabel. His
name is Alfonso Leon Francisco Pascual.
He was not of a rugged constitution, a
fact which has given much uneasiness in
Spain, but he has been carefully trained
and has developed into an athletic young
man.
The queen regent, Dona Maria Girls
tina, relinquished the reins of govern
ment on her sons accession to the throne.
