Lisbon, April IB—The startling an-
nouncement is made in court circles
here that queen Marie Amelle, wife
of Don Carlos, king of Portugal, has
wilted to become a nun. This is a
direct result of the protracted tpiurrel
n the royal couple over the
king's attitude toward the religio
orders of the country. The agitnti
against the clergy in Spain last month
spread to Portugal. Where trouble l>e-
the lilierals and the clerical
ts had been brewing for a long
time. Queen Atnelie is a devout
tholic. while Hon Carlos .idea with
the liberals, and during the recent dis-
turbances he openly espoused their
luse against the church.
Queen Amelia is known to
oman of strong will power. There
are other grievances against the king
hlch steeled Queen Amelie's heart
The king has proved several tin
late unfaithful to his marriage trow.
hlch recently led to u public scan-
dal. A prominent physician in Lis-
bon committed suicide over the loss of
his beautiful young wife, whose af-
fections had lieen alienated by the
king.
The climax of royal domestic con-
tention was reachcil Inst week when
King Curios caused an edict against
cloisters of his realm which com-
mands that all religions institutions
111 lie required to make a rc|Mirt of
their rules and regulations to the
tive municipal authorities, nnd
that all who do not comply within a
fortnight will be closed by the gov-
rnmcnt. The edict has been received
ith storms of indignation by the
clericals and all parties. The quo
tearfully besought the king to I
lent, but he remained olslurate. nnd
I then sold that unless the king
would modify his edict she would not
hesitate to take the veil.
