THE QUEEN ETxRAvAGANCE.

| THE QUEEN S ETXRAVAGANCE.
Extravagant expenditure is one of the
charges brought against the ex-Queen
The Madrid Universal has just published
a statement Of the cost of the royal fami-
ly. from which it appears that Isabella
had 50, 100000 the King consort, $24O,
600; the Prince of Austria, $245, 900
the Countess Girgenti, 100000; the
Duchess of Montpensier, $500. 600; and
finally, Christina, Duchess of Rianzares,
$500, 900. Altogether 81, 5S5, 900, which
sum would be increased if the pensions
of the Duke of Sesa, Don Sebastian, and
others were ii ludod
THE CROWN JEWELS
Concerning the crown jewels one of
the few faithful adherents of Isabella
writes to French journal as follows:
Several papers state that the Queen
of Spain has carried off with her to
France the crown jewels, and also $4,000
600 of,,reals advanced to her by the treas
ury. | am enabled to certify this double
statement to be false and totally unfoun-
ded. AS regards the jewels, which peo-
pie pretend to be crown property. l can
give you correct information When
King Ferdinand VII. re-entered his cap
ltal, In 1923. after the intervention of
France, it was ascertained that the crown
jewels had disappeared The late King
subsequently bought some jewels, which
were since used to adorn the crown.
When Ferdinand VII. died, Queen
Christina inherited the royal casket, and
also added to it at her own expense.
Upon. Queen Isabella coming OF age, the
Dowager Queen divided her jewels equal
ly between her two daughters. These
are the gems. gradually increased by
fresh purchases, that Queen Isabella pos
sesses, and legitinately retains, except
portion, which has remained in Madrid.
As to the sum of %, 900, 900 of reals kept
back by the Queen from the Royal Treas
ury nothing can be more untrue. 1t is
certain, on the contrary that the govern
ment owes her Majesty her donation of
last week.
A letter from Malrid in the Liberte
| gives some accounts Of discovered valu-
ables, which are curious, if true:
Son the first news of the Cadiz revolu-
ton the attendants of the palace, it is
said, took possession Of the jewels belong
ing to the Crown. Only 1900. 900 in
| Spanish stock and 45O. 900 francs i'll coin
had been discovered, when there were
accidentally found In loft the crown,
the sceptre, and some minor jewels, which
1T was sought, it is reported, to abstract.
There was also ound in loft In new
quarter of Madrid, fiftyone cases cotain-
ing jewels and precious objects belonging
to NJ Gozales Bravo, or, ut least, declar-
ed to be his. Finally, at the moment
when the priest of the Chapel Royal of
Atocha was about, it is said, to fly, they
arrested him and deposited with the Cen
trail Junta the jewels and ornaments of
great value, which he was about to carry
off,
DEED OF JUSTICE. E
A terrible deed of summary popular
justice has been perpetrated in Madrid
A sergeant OF artillery implicated in plots
when led to the fatal outbreak OF the
I'D of June, 1866, had betrayed and de-
nounced his accompllces, and had been
rewarded by Narvaez with the rank of
officer This man was with Novaliches
at Alcola, asd after the defeat endeavor-
ed to make his escape to France He
was however recognized and arrested at
Saragossa, and was sent as prisoner to
the Junta at Madrid. The Junta order
ed him to be shut up in a. military
prison but on his way to his destination
he fell into the hands of some of the
friends OF his betrayed victims, by whom
he was put to death, the assembled popu-
lace lending hand to the murder.
There is no doubt as to to the mans de-
serts, and it is questionable whether
there could have been any other way of
bringing him to justice
IN HIDING
The number fugitives and persons hid,
and living In IA stateof utmost panic in Mad
rid is incredible The foreign legations
are beset by the people applying for shell
ter; but fears of that nature are merely
the result of arant cowardice, and are,
at least for the present, perfectly unreas-
enable. Most legations fatty refuse to
grant this requested asylum.
| NAPOLEON MAKES AN INQUIRY
A Paris letter writer says: GA per-
sonage from Spain arrived at Biarritz a
day or two ago, and on being received by
the emperor, his Majesty is reported to
have inquired low Spanish affairs were
getting on. Very well, Sire 'Ah 7
said Nepolean with smile. the people
and the revolution are still in their hon
eymoon.
An Excellent Snake Story.
