(Received 6, 10.50 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 5. Eeports that an announcement is iinminent regarding the engagement of King Leopold of Belgium to an English lady are authoritatively described as untrue. Following the arrival of King Leopold and his mother, Prince Charles, the King's brother, arrived at Dover. He said that the visit was private. King Leopold, who was suffering from a chill and sore throat, was unable to attend mass at St. Mary's Church, Worksop, as he had intended. An earlier message stated: Rumours of a royal romance and the suggestion that King Leopold may marry an Englishwoman are revived by the King of the Belgians and the Queen Mother arriving in England ineognito from Brussels and spending the week-end with the Duke and puchess of Portland at Welbeck Abbev. The Sunday Dispatch mentions the name of Lady Ann Cavendish Bentinck. Belgian official circles believe that the King is merely visiting old friends as a result of an invitation given on a previous visit.
