Portugal, whose overthrow was
Il somewhat fancifully attributed to
his fondness for certain European
actresses, recently was revived by ca
Diagrams announcing that a marriage
had been arranged between him and
the Princess Augustine Victoria of Ho-
henzollern.
The princess, who is a year and a
half younger than Manuel, is the old
est daughter of Prince William Of
Hohenzollern, head Of the so called
older nonreigning princely branch of
the house. She resides with her IA
Their at Sigmaringen castle, where the
formal engagement took place.
Princess Augustina's mother is dead.
The young woman's family, which is
not directly related to that Of the kali
ser. is Roman Catholic.
Ex-King Manuel was born twenty
Of Villavicosa, not far from the Span
ish border. Before he was eighteen
years old he served aboard the Portu-
guose man Of war Africa as a midship-
man, beginning his career as a sailor
with such offices as cleaning the ord
nance.
He was eighteen years old on Feb.
1, 1908, when he succeeded to the
crown Of Portugal through the assas-
sination Of his father, King Carlos, and
his elder brother, Crown Prince Luis
Felipe A band of men fired upon the
members of the royal family while
they were driving in an open carriage
through the streets Of Lisbon. The
king and the crown prince were each
shot three times Manuel was slightly
wounded The assassination was the
climax of internal troubles which had
marked every year since Carlos ascend

counts that the Portuguese were in

of having beguiled him.
Press dispatches from Moscow set
forth the claim to this distinction pre-

queen of Russia" Vialceva was said
to be middle aged gypsy woman Of

probably the first to be mentioned in
this respect, her renown soon paled
