. SpAIN.--The conflicting nature Of the
reports as 10 the successes Of the Carlists
In Spain, it will Of course be understood,
Is due to tho partizan sources through
which they are derived, the Government
accounts coming through Madrid, and the
Carlist accounts through Perpignan. The
same thing happens in all wars. Perpig-
nan, which is now news centre, is situated
in the district of the Eastern Pyreuees,
France. just outside of the southeastern
line Of the operations Of the Carlists, and
is connected with Paris by rail and by
telegraph lines. lqualada, where the last
battle is reported to have taken place, Is
thirty miles northwest Of Barcelona, and
indicates an attempt on the part Of the
generals Of Don Carlos to move into the
eastern provinces Of Spain Don Carlos
himself does not seem to exhibit much
personal enterprise or military activity,
and be is now almost in seclusion near
Elixonado, town about twenty miles
north Of Pampcluna, so situated that he
can escape into France in very short
time, and in every direction except south.
This place of refuge is formed by the
northern angle of Spanish Navarro run
ming up into France. The object Of the
march into the eastern districts seems to
be based on the hope that the disturbances
there have originated in desire for the
return of Don Carlos, whereas a careful
comparison Of dispatches shows that they
have been caused partly by differing opin-
ions as to the kind Of Republic to be
adopted, and partly by labor strikes melted
by the Intcrnationals, or by reduction
in wages. This conjecture is confirmed
by the report that the provinces Of Anda-
lusia and Murcia on the south, and
Valencia and Catalonia on the east, have
proclaimed themselves independent dis
tricts until the adoption Of new federal
constitution At all events, no Carlist
successes have been reported, even through
Perpignan, except in the north Of Spain,
A WONDERFUL GoLD MINE.-Letters
from Buenos Ayres announce the discov-
cry Of wonderful gold bearing region in
the northern provinces of the Argentine
Republic The story runs that scientific
German being impressed with the idca that
the locality in question must be rich in the
precious metals, came out from Europe to
make explorations, and in the valley Of
Famatina, in the province of Ricja, he
discovered wonderful deposits, and, keep
ing his secret, he purchased four square
leagues of Government land in the richest
part of the valley for a mere song. He
next sold two square leagues to company
in Buenos Ayres for one hundred millions
of dollars in currency, guaranteeing on a
moderate outlay return of s33,0lO. This
story has probably been started as stock
jobbing operation by combination Of
swindling spectators. Those who read il
will do well to bearin mind the experiences
Of the Emma Mining Company Of Utah,
and the diamond swindle" Of Arizona.

will be made to form union of all shades
of opposition to the Republic, in order to
either place Legitimist on the throne, N
keep Marshal MacMahOn in power, under
the protectorate of the same party. This
is dangerous movement and will have to
be met with all the power and influence
Of the Republicans in and out of the As
sembly to insure its defeat While the
people Of France are almost unanimous in
favor of Republic, they may yet be
cheated out of such form of government
by the arts of trickstes and the want Of
union on the part of their representatives
CUBA.-Liberty ofthe press, abolition OIL
essential modification of the censorship
and the practical enjoyment Of Republi
can form of government in Cuba, as vel
as in Spain, is the programme of the Re.
publicans in that island. This programm,
will be laid before the Cortes. If rejected
the forces of the patriots in Cuba will BE-
strengthened by additions from class Of
the population who have hitherto refused
to move in that direction.
