Budapest, April 1.-Startling re-
ports that former Emperor Charles
was moving with troops toward this
city were officially denied last night.
1t was declared Charles was safely
guarded at Steinamanger Perfect or
der prevailed in Budapest during the
evening.
Paris, April 1.-Resolutions, protest
ing against the restoration of former
Emperor Charles in Hungary. and
warning the Hungarian government
that the consequences of such an event
would be disastrous, were adopted by
the council of ambassadors here. The
resolutions were presented by Jules
Cambon, acting in the name of the
French government.
Paris, April 1.-Two authentic Facts
appear 10 stand out of the mass of
sensational rumors relative TO the at
tempt of former Emperor Charles 10
reinstate himself as head of the Hun
garian government
The first is that Charles is still in
Hungary, and the second is that the
little entente" comprising Czecho-
Slovakia. Roumania and Jugo-Slavia
and the "big entente" are ready TO
strike if the former emperor succeeds
in his enterprise.

ernments are considering the steps

Hungarian situation is not rapidly
cleared up. Among these measures. it
is declared, the blockade of Hungary
is being considered.
Ivan Praznovsky, Hungarian minis
ter TO France, points out in a state
ment printed in the Figaro that COM
munications between Paris and Buda-
pest are interrupted, and that all news
reaching this city must come by the
way of Vienna, and therefore should
be subjected to careful scrutiny.
The minister declares his disbelief
of reports that Charles has been sue
cessful in his attempt, and says the
delay in his departure from Hungary
may be attributed TO the necessity of
obtaining the consent of the Austrian
and Jugo- Slavian governments to his
passage across their territories. He
adds that if Gen. Lehar had gone over
to the side Of Charles he would most
certainly have been advised.
While it is possible that few
| adventures are gathered around the
former emperor, and that some batta-
lions of troops may be ready to sup
port him, the minister says he does
not believe the army has declared for
Charles, as Vienna dispatches have
