BUDAPEST, June 7.
The Premier (General Gombos) was challenged Jast week to a duel by an Opposition deputy, Dr. Eckhardt, following upon an alleged revelation that General Gombos provided information which was the subject of a previous quarrel between Dr. Eckhardt and Count Bethlen.
Subsequently General Gombos and Dr. Eckhardt settled their quarrel without a duel, but this only precipitated another duel, and threatens to produce a third.
Dr. Eckhardt and a Government deputy. M. Szalay, today fought with light cavalry sabres. Each was wounded ten times when they desisted from sheer exhaustion.
General Gpmbos earlie. appeased Dr. Eckhardt by saying that M. Bethlen had misquoted him. M. Bethlen has now sent his seconds to General Gombos.
