: Budapest, Oct. 24.-Ex.Emperor
Charles and ex-Empress Zta were
captured today near komorn xrd are
confined in the castle at Tata-Voros
guarded by two companies OF gov
ernment troops.
Colonel Ocsentburg's troops, COW
ering the retreat Of the former rul-
crs, were forced to surrender and
are prisoners.
Earlier in the day the Carlists had
reached Bicske, between Tata-
Tovaros and Budapest and about 20
miles west OF the Hungarian capital.
II was here that the Royalist army
was encirclcd and its capture ap-
peared imminent until troops broke
Through and retreated. The Consti-
tutionalst forces numbered about
10000 against approximately 10000
followers OF the former monarch.
Allies Oppose Ex.Ruler.
Paris, Oct. 24-At the meeting OF
the council Of ambassadors the in
( iluence Of the allied power was def
nitely thrown against the attempted
restoration.
The council instructed the allied
representatives in Budapest immedi-
ately to demand from the Hungarian
government these things:
la proclamation Of the forfci-
ture Of all rights Of ex-King Charles
to the throne.
2-The placing of Charles under
arrest and the expulsion from Hun
gary under conditions which the
allied powers will fix.
Failing these things, the allied rep
rescntativcs are instructed to inform
the Hungarian government that the
allied powers will decline all respons-
Utilities and the consequences which
might result for Hungary.
Budapest Government Falls.
News of Charles second entry into
! Hungary and his open defiance OF
the big and little ententes has caused
the fall OF the Budapest government.
: The new cabinet is said to include
Apponyi, we'll known in America,
and Rakovsky and former Premier
Friedrich.
The general neling prevailing in
Berlin is that central Europe is on
the eve OF new crisis. Developments
Of which none in diplomatic circles
will hazard forecast.
1t is expected that Tyrol, where
the monarchists arc strongly or
xganized, will take advantage Of the
situation and will declare itself inde-
pendent OF Austria which is con-
sidercd the first step toward union
with Germany.
Renner Accuses Many.
DR.. Karl Renner, former chancel-
lor Of Austria, who is now in Berlin,
in an interview today declared that
certain persons in unofficial posi-
tions, but very high in French and
British diplomatic circles and promi-
nent in Italy, were behind the
former emperor in the latter's at
tempt to regain the throne. DR..
Renncr frankly declared that he
feared the incident would result i'll
civil war in Austria.
Charles second comeback was nc
secret in we'll informed Budapest po-
li,ical circles. In fact, the word was
passed two weeks ago that he was
prepared to enter, but this leak pest
poned the adventure. Official cir
clcs are buzzing with reports of a
big political intrigue behind the
move; an agreement had been
reached between Charles, France,
Italy and Jugo- -Slavia before the adj
venture began, it is said. 1t is re-
ported Italy will gain Hungarian
support against the Jugo-Slavs and
France will support Hungary
against any resurrection Of German
aspirations in the future.
