French Government Buys Palais de Castille For Official Visitors
Paris reports say the Palais de Castille, once Queen Isabella II of Spain’s residence, will become official quarters for royal and imperial visitors as the French government defeats J Pierpont Morgan in a bid to acquire the palace. President Loubet left Italy in a buoyant mood amid notes of Franco Italian cordiality and a Naples plan to name a new Square of the French Squadron with statues of Napoléon III and Garibaldi. A Russian widow’s $40,000 legacy prompts a macabre tomb challenge at Pere Lachaise, while a Paris detective squad shakes an American swindle group tied to forged checks and stolen securities on the Paris exchange. A Port Arthur letter from a Russian student recalls jap prisoners and nicknames from a beleaguered battalion.
