MARRIAGE OF CROWN PRINCE. ALLEGED INTRIGUE TO STOP IT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Received Feb. 14, 11.20 p.m. Tokio, Feb. 13. Rumors that the Crown Prince’s trip abroad is due to Court intrigue to cancel his betrothal to Princess Nagako, daughter of Prince Kuni, have resulted in the Household Department issuing a statement denying any contemplated change iri the marriage contract. The Home Department has issued a similar statement, adding that Baron Nakamure, Minister of the Household, has decided to resign. It is reported that Vice-Minister Ishiwara will also resign. Prince Kuni, following upon the publication of the announcements, visited the Emperor and Empress. Newspapers charge Baron Nakamura and Field-Marshal Yamagata with intriguing to annul the betrothal while the Prince is abroad. It appears that several members of Parliament wrote to Yamagata recently accusing him of interference in the Crown Prince s affaire. The newspaper Dishrnachi states that Yamagata will relinquish his generalship and the Presidency of the Privy Council—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
