MADRID, April 26.-There is a vast increase
in the number of Carlist bands throughout the
kingdom Fifteen hundred persons are now
engaged in the instruction. A royal procla-
nation has been issued declaring many places
in a state of seige. The government refuses to
FURNISH the press any information relative to
either its or the Carstst movements There is
q great demand from the provinces where the
Cariists are most active for troops to assist in
urlVlngHout the disturbers. Serrano with 5000
troops had gone to Navane. His presence at
the head OF this force has checked the opera
uoes OF the Carlists in that department. Ser
rano will be appointed Generalissmo of the
FORCES operating against the insurrectionists =

is believed that the future of Spain now de-
pends on the course of the radicals and if they
cooperate with the partizans of Don Carlos
the revolution will be successful.
