ADVISED
PRINCE TO MARRY
King of Spain Did Not Refuse Consent
to Alliance of Royal House
to Princess Beatrice of
Saxe-Coburg

PARIS, July 23.-The details sur
rounding the romantic marriage of
Prince Alfonso of Bourbon-Orleanst to
Princess Beatrice of Sake Coburg,
which cost him his position as prince
of the royal house of Spain and his
career in the Spanish army, today
came into the possession of>the Asso-
ciated Press.
They reveal the fact that King AL
fonso instead of refusing his consent
to the marriage, as was reported by
Madrid dispatches, actually advised the
prince to marry her secretly and per-
sonally interviewed by telegraph with
the Bamberg ecclesiastical authorities
in whose diocese the marriage took
place to procure a dispensation for 1t.
This story was obtained from the
prince and when it becomes known
in Europe it is likely to create a
greater sensation than did the we'd
ding and the princes disgrace.
Prince Alfonso and Princess Beatrice
first met in 800 on the occasion of King
Alfonso's marriage. The prince, then
only 20 years old, proposed marriage,
but Beatrice refused him.
