Chaos in Madrid as King abdicates duties amid beard and pilgrim garb
London reports Brigadier General Cavalier named Adjutant General while Spain’s king retreats from business for six weeks, letting his beard grow and shunning foreign ministers. Queen fears his mental or bodily disorder, as court remains active in politics and a new prime minister is set to replace Baron Hartoff. A grand vizier camps with 50,000 along the Sereth in Walachia to block imperial and Russian forces and defend Bender from insult. An Irishman is jailed for enlisting for foreign service, and Capt. John Bentley is appointed to a Royal Foot regiment.
