time ago the Carlists did not dare attack the
republicans, and contented themselves NV cap
turing trains and stopping the mails; while now
the republicans dare not attack the Carlists,
and seem satisfied with petty operations in the
rear of Don Carlos forces. Carlos will not en-
ter CASTLE until he has two or three Castilian
battaions and plenty of firearms"
