THE RUMANIAN HEIR.

NO LIGHT ON MYSTERY. REFUSES TO BE INTERVIEWED. (Press Association—Copyright.) (Received 7.5 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 4.—Lady Drummond Hay, writing to the “Daily Express” from Milan, states that Prince Carol characterises the newspaper reports as lies and infamous propaganda against his family, but refuses to be interviewed or to make a detailed statement. Lady Hay adds that the renunciation of the throne had been wholly voluntary. When the Consul for Rumania at Milan informed Prince Carol that the King had formally announced Carol’s renunciation, the latter flew into an uncontrollable passionate rage, not expecting that the renunciation would be accepted. Lambrino Happily Married.

Prince Carol frequently has shown signs, since the Royal marriage of a desire to break the traditions of his house. There is every indication that he intends marrying Princess Lupescu, who is a Rumanian. Both are at present staging at an hotel in Milan. Tho “Morning Post” confirms this possibility, adding that on the day of the Prince’s arrival in Milan also came Princess Lupescu, although the relations of the little Court towards her were nothing more than are usually accorded to distinguished fellow country folk abroad.—(A. and N.Z.) Fantastic Tales. The “Times’s” Milan correspondent reports that he put a series of questions to Prince Carol, regarding his reasons for renunciation, receiving the following written reply: “I cannot make a statement about what you ask. I can\only say that everything except the official communications are extravagant and damnable lies. I am astonished that serious newspapers publish fantastic news, which is merely subversive propaganda against my family and myself. This propaganda emanates from a well-known source and •honourable newspapers should not use it. This is all I can say. (Signed), parol.”
