There are reports that the Greeks are so enraged against the Emperor of Germany for his behavior over Crete, that the priests have openly said in the churches that it is a great misfortune that the future King of Greece is married to the sister of Greece's worst enemy.
In 1889 the Crown Prince married the Princess Sophia of Germany, sister of the young German Emperor.
The Greek statesmen are openly urging the Prince to divorce his wife, because of her relationship to the German Emperor.
Does not this seem terrible!
The Crown Prince and Princess have three children, the youngest a baby not yet a year old. For the sake of politics the Greeks would like to have the Crown Prince send his wife back to her own country, and separate her from her children.
It cannot be a happy thing to come of a race of kings, and be such a great personage, that even the happiness of home must be sacrificed for the interests of State.
Our friend Weyler is in a heap of trouble.
It seems that affairs in the Philippines look worse for Spain than was at first supposed.
The Spanish troops have been very severely beaten lately near Manilla, and the rebellion is so strong and so well organized that unless fresh troops can be sent immediately, the Philippines will be lost to Spain.
