PRINCESS HISTORIC ISLAND.
Lacroma to Become the Property of
Prince RudolFs Only Daughter.

Lacroma, the small but beautiful island
just opposite Ragusa, is about to be-
come the property of Princess Elizabeth,
only daughter of the late Crown Prince
Rudolf, writes Vienna correspondent
of the Pail Mall Gazette. 1t was orig
inally bequeathed to her, but the EN-
peror gave it to the Dominicans and in
its stead set aside a million gulden esq.,
GOO for his granddaughter. Now the
princess wants it and has obtained the
consent of the Pope for the Dominicans
to sell 1t to her.
Lacroma has had many owners, among
them the III fated Macmillan of Mexico.
One of the earliest records in its history
is that Richard Occur de Lion was ship
wrecked off its coast in 1893, and in
gratitude for his escape built an abbey
church, the ruins of which form one Of
the most attractive features in the island
today.
1t was through another sea disaster
that Macmillan acquired Lacroma. An
Austrian man of war, the Triton, was ac-
cidentally blown up near the island in
1859, and Macmillan, the sailor member
of the Habsburg family, proceeded there
to investigate the catastrophe. Struck
with the beauty of the island he bought
it. Though of snail area it is exceeding
ly picturesque, with luxuriant semi-trop-
ical vegetation of palms and expresses,
oleanders, ericas. myrtles and aloes.
