| LONDON, Aug. 8.--The Times publishes a
long despatch from the Duke de Cazes, cate
Soricaily denying the charge of connivance
WIN the Carsts. The Duke says Lzarago's
escape from arrest while passing from Bayonne
to Perpguan was due to the misunderstanding
OF the local authorities. Tie Carlist officers
seen in uniform at Bayonne and elsewhere on
Trrehch territory, had passports signed By the
spanish authorities The Carlists obtained
their supplies of arms and war materials by
sea, through the remissness of the Spanish in

Don Carlos Interviewed.
New YORK, Aug. 9.-The correspondent of
the Herald had an interview with Don Carlos
at Elorrla, Spain, on the 4th inst. during
which Carlos said: We are always glad to see
correspondent and willing to tell the truth
We have faults. but accept the responsibility
OF our actions. Our cause is so good that we
do not fear daylight. Our enemies spread false
news andaciously because we do not possess
the means of giving truth publicity; therefore
we give honest journalists an opportunity to
gather evidence of absurd stories fOated of Car
list atrocities and extend the Herald cordial
we Come.
The correspondent said he hoped he would
not meet the fate of Capt. Schmidt Carlos re-
piled. "No danger" Schmidt was arrested un
der the most suspicious circumstances, tried by
court martial. found guilty and executed as
spy. Nevertheless regret very much that my
order to spare his life was received too late
Correspondent-DoesH His Majesty apprehend
any danger of German intervention on account
of the execution.
Carlos.,Not the least. Germany is aware
that foreigner throwing himself into the
midst of an intercine conflict is exposed to its
risks and perlls. While deeply regretting that
the reprieve was received too late the Span
lards strongly dislike interference in their af-
FAIRS. Intervention would result in favor of
me. Then Spain would only have one army
with Carlos as chief. Spain has been impov-
erjshed by wars, revolutions and changes of
government and requires my whole life to re-
store her to the degree of prosperity, which
wish her to possess. The only means to ac-
complish this is bv a long fruitful season of
tranquility devoted to the arts of peace aud
consolidating and establishing the finances and
credit of tho government, and thus give the
country the necessary repose which she never
has enjoyed since the reign of Charles VI de-
sire to lestore Spain to something like ancient
grandeur That is my only task
In reply to a question regarding the Cortes,
he said:-'It should be elected fully aud fairly
from the nation. The Cortes. which should re-
ucCt bHc le6llus5S3 lutGTtSlS, WISHES anu Sc0tl-
ments of the people, ought not to be a mere
body of factions, politicians, alike powerless for
good and strong fer evil, prOmugating doc
trnes for the overthrow of society and ending
with barbados wish Spain to march on
ward to progress and enlightenment, and not
remain behind the sister nations in science and
education, without which Spain will be out
stripped in the race for wealth and prosperity.
But something is !. radically wrong in the
mo iern current OF thought and system of edu-
cation world into
materialIsm and unbelief which, unless checked,
must end in the extinction of the human race
the fault thereof being the modern Goddess
system OF education, and the modern method
called fools by the savants of twenty years
hence for wishing to discord the. truths that
have born the test for ages. Spain shall never
submit if can help it. Religion and educa-
ton assist each other l am at pres.
ent occupied with other matters. When
the enemy is conquered, my throne restored
and peace and order prevail, then is the
time to consider" Touching Cuba he said,
She would offer free pardon and amnesty
and would guarantee government directed to
posed to slavery and would abolish it with all
speed. Carlos is very sanguine of success, de-
caring his prospects favorable and giving good
reasons there fore.
