LONDON, March 21.—(New York World | Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—The World | correspondent in London telegraphed to Jonel Bratiano, the foreign minister of Roumania, asking him to confirm or deny the report that he'is betrothed to Miss Pau- line Astor, daughter ot Willam Waldort Astor. This reply has been received: “Bucharest, March 21.—The news com- cerning Minister Bratiano devold of all | foundation. “(Signed) STEFANSCO, Secretary.” BUCHAREST, Roumania, March 21 Everybody in Bucharest belleves that Miss Pauline Astor, the beautiful daughter of William Waldort Astor, the milllonaire, late of New York, but now a Aondoner, is engaged to Jonel Bratlano, thé handsomo | young foreign minister. It is sternly de- nied at court, but this does nof put a stop to the gossip. Miss Astor and her brother have been, paylng a long visit here and royalty could not have recelved a more warm welcome at court.

His wedding with the young heiress to many millions would please everybody, from the king down. Miss Astor is an honored guest at every function of the royal party in its excur- slone, entertainments and dances. Young Bratiano’s attentions to her .are public. Bratiano has had a brilliant career. He is a clever, fascinating fellow, just suited to the position he holds. He 1s a favorite with the king because his father, Toan Bratiano, cbtained full independence for Roumania and got & crown for its prince, now the king. Early in April a great monument is to be unvelled in Bucharest in memory of Toan Bratiano and court gossip has it that upon the auspic¢ious occasion the engagement of Mise Astor to Jonel Bratiano will be an- nounced, despite present denlals.
