JILTED SPANISH COUNT
ORDERED TO LEAVE ENGLAND. LONDON, August 8. Scotland Yard’s request to the Spanish Count de Luzarraga to leave Britain clears up a mysteiy of the mails. The count, who belongs to a wealthy Spanish family, repeatedly addressed letters to a titled woman, who was already married, asking her to marry him. Her friends intervened, with the result that tho count was ordered to leave for the Continent. However, the count, although he booked a passage by a steamer, at the last minute decided to ignore Scotland Yard’s edict, and to remain in London. Interviewed, ho said he had decided to tell the true facts and let Scotland Yard do their worst. “Before the war,” he said, “I was engaged to a. famous tilled London society beauty. I had to return to Spain. When I again visited England I found that she had married. I communicated with her, and she reproached me. It is quite true that love-letters did pass between us, but it is not now an affair of love. I gather she resents my presence in England. I have been treated disgracefully.”, The newspapers state that the woman in the case is well known in England and on the Continent, and that, if her name" were disclosed it would create a sensation.
