New YORK, August IO.-A CORE
spOndent of the New York Herald, in
terviewed Don Carlos at Elerria, OF
August 4th. Don Carlos said 'We ar
always glad at seeing correspondent
who is willing to tell the truIh. w
have faults, but accept the responsibility
Of our own actions. Our cause is =,
good that we do not fear daylight. Gu
enemies spread false news audsciOuslN
and persistently because we do 10
possess the means Of giving the trntt
publicity, therefore we give homes
journalists the opportunity to gathel
evidence of the absurd stories that arr
toated of Carlist atrocities"
H reupon the correspondent said ht
hoped he would not meet the fate o.
Captain Schmidt.
/ Don CaTlos-There is no danger
Captain Schmidt was arrested under
most suspicious circumstances. He was
/ tried by oOurt-martial, found guilty and
executed as aspy, nevertheless regret
very much that my order to spare his
life was received too late.
Tespondent-DOes his majesty ap-
prehend any danger of a German inter-
vention on account of the execution?
Don CariOs-Not the least. Germany
is aware that foreigner throwing him
self in the midst of interneeine con-
tiict is exposed to its risks and perils
While deeply regretting that the Ie-
prieve was received too late, the Span
iards strongly dislike interference in
their affairs. Intervention would result
ia favor Of me. Then Spain would only
have one army, with Don Carlos its
chief. Spain has been Impoverished by
war, revolutions and changes of gov
eminent, and it requires my whole life
% restore her to the degree Of prosperity
which l wish her to possess. The only
means TO accomplish this is by long,
fruitful season of tranquility, devoted to
cultivatiDg the arts of peace ard con-
solidating and establhlhing the finances
and credit Of the government, and thus
give the country the necessary repOse
which she has never enjoyed since the
reign of Charles Y. 1 desire to restore
Spain to something like her ancient
grandeur. That is my only task.
Ii reply TO question regarding the
cOrtes, Don Carlos said that it should be
elected fully and fairly by the nation.
The cOrtes, which should reflect the
feelings, interests, wishes and seuti-
ments of the people, ought lot to be a
mere body of factious politicians, alike
powerless for good and strong for evil,
promulgating doctrines for the over
throw of society and ending
with barricsdes. l wish Spain
TO march onward to progress and en-
lightenment: and not remain behind her
sister nations in science and education,
without which Sp&inwil be outstTipped
IN the rac5 for wealth and prosperity;
but something is radically wrong in the
modern current of the thought and sys-
tenn of education. The world is rushing
into gross materislism 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 modern meth
DDS of investigation. To-day's savants
will be called fools by the savants Of
twenty years hence, for wishing to dis
card the truths that have borne the test
for ages. Spain shall never submit, if 1
can help it. Religion and education as
s'st each other; science, without reli.
gioD, is blind; adding, with a smile, al
am at present, occupied with other mat
ters. When the enemy is conquered,
my throne restored, and peace and or
der prevail, then is the time TO consider
education.n
Touching Cuba he said be would offer
free pardon and amnesty, and would
guarantee government devoted to the
interests of the island. He said he was
opposed to slavery, and would abolish it
with speed. Don Carlos is very SAN
guine Of the success Of his cause, de-
clariBg that his prospects were favorable,
and giving good reasons therefor.
