la Rec0nQutst0 is Carllst organ, published daily
In Madrid. Its columns TEEN with Carlist risngs
and successes There is o hopeful ring in every
detail of news favorable to tine Carlist cause that
b found in them, and, on the other hand, when q
mischance compels the editors to speak OF Carlist
defeat it happens, most extraordinarily, that
readers who might prefer the victory to the repub

very much depressed when he read In La Recon-

shat Pampeluna, the capital of Navarro, was be-
ueged, and that there was every prospect Of It's
surrender to the Oarlsts before many days. It was
this news, together with q score Of other reports
anttrepubican, wherein repubucanism was said
to be on the decline and Carlism on the increase,
that depressed me, and determined at once to 60

downfall and surrender, and weep in concert with
the republicans in America and deplore the death
Of our sister republic. r' us ttttl F7
Two days ago arrived at this city ana hotel of

military vedettes had been, however, cautiously
posted on tine more commanding positions in the
ueighborh0od OF the great vaduct at Noain mine
miles from Pampeluna), which conveys water to this
city, and this was all the sign Of probable danger
or OF internecine war saw en- route.
THE STATION OF PAMPELUNA
presents precisely the same appearance as other
railway stations in Spain, in France or in America.
The same shouts are heard, but in diferent Ian
guages, and different costumes meet the eye The
passengers are informed by stentorian-lunged
representatives of the various hotels what nice
quarters and rich vands await them II they will
only condescend to patronize their employers. All
New Workers who have been to Chicago will recol-
tect the scene but too wei. After choosing the
showiest coach and the most civil driver we set OH
st galop from the station.

Ny eyes, when not employed regarding the wild

the firm and formidable-lookng fortress, which
grew momently more formidable, and loomed up
impregnably vast. II your readers will
imagine Fortress Monroe placed on the summit
Of hill 200 feet or so above the green-gray water
OF Hampton Roads, and imagine that the walls of
the fortress are some thirty feet higher than they

antique church tower, and that they themselves

furiously up white road sloping from the sea up

may know very well what Pampeluna Is without
going to the expense OF coming here or under

often thought that the HERALD was established to
give such accurate description OF and information
about every event and place. ana that only those

HUNTING UP THE SIEGE.
After despatching little breakfast I sauntered
out to hunt up news OF besiegng Carlists, insub-
ordinate soldiers. tratorous ocers hostile cliques
and rebenious factions, but had not gone far be-

dead wall, built up Of well cut freestone with
Hell nagged pavement in front Of IT. On this dead
wall were painted, in large characters, s.J,sego

I rambled on, and presently came to q large
house, over the door OF which were the same
words, 'yueoo Puostco de Pelota, 4" and grown up
men were pasEing In and out. For an entrance fee

In, and in o large courtyard, 200 feet BY 90, or
thereabouts, were about twenty men, playing ball.
Passing out again ] came to another party Of
men and soldiers who were engaged in heaving
the bar, and soon after another party playing
cricket. another party making merry over lot of
