Tho Young Bourbon King, or "Prc-
tender,'' and His Crown Claims.
Don Carlos, the elder and first opponent Of
Isabella the Second, after his final departure from
Spain, lived for some time in France. In 1916 he
abdcated In favor of his son, the Condo DE
Montemolin, whose name may be recoected in
connection with certain abOrtive attempts to
raise an English loan for the purpose of invading
Spain and recovering the throne OF his fathers.
The young Pretender died suddenly in 1861 with
out Issue. and his reversonary rights descended
to his brother, Prince John. This Prince never
made any attempt TO claim his inheritance,
by which Queen Isabella was deposed he ceded
his pretensiOns to his Don Carlos, the existing
represen tative OF legitimate sovereignty in Spain
and who now as we are told has resigned his claim
In favor OF his own son as king, with regency
The young Prince who resigns inherits by birth all
the traditions ana associations OF the Bourbon
race. His mother was an Archduchess OF Este, a
daughter OF the Duke OF MOdena and sister OF the
COmte de ChambOrd. His wife is the sister OF the
exied Duke OF Parma, and granddaughter of the
Duchess OF Berry. Don Carlos Lille has been chiefly
brought up as devout believer in divine right and
the supremacy Of the Church over the state.

1t Is said that Don Alfonso, younger brother Of
Don Carlos, the Regent by nomination. has won all
hearts in Catalonia. His princess. Dona Maria de
la Moves, Is with him. The Prince wears red
panta0ons, with black BRAID hessan boots a
white pelisse and 0oind tthe round cap worn by
the Carlstsl. The Princess also wears the white
oOtss0, with long gold tasse falling over her left
shoulder. At San Quirce they were received with
every honor, and were attended by the chiefs
Torres and Sabalis generals holding their commits
sl0ns from "His Majesty Don Carlos"
AS for Don Carlos himself, no one processes to
know with certainty what he is doing or where he
Is. Ever since the affair OF the Oroquieta fight he
seems to have disappeared as completely as Prince
Arthur Of the legend, without however, his most
enthusiastic followers attrbuting to him any very
marvellous exploits.
