A SYSTEM OF ssPe1NAGE EXERCISED OVER DON
CARIos-HE ASKS TUE PROTECTION OF THE
COURTS. anr,, ~,
Since the arrival in this country Of Don
Carlos, the Spanish Pretendg, he has been
stopping at the Windsor Hotel, in this city,
with his suite. Two weeks ago man APP
piled for o room TO sMr. Waite, one OF the
proprietors, Of the hotel, hat did not receive
it. He was recognized bF Mr.. Waite as
private detective in the employ OF Henry Da-
yies, Jr-, agent OF the Spanish Government
in this city. Mr.. Waite did not at the time
think that the detectives desire to become a
guest Of his had anything to do with Don
Carlos or his suite, but:he is now satisfied OF
the fact About the same time-that Is, two
weeks ago-the Prince began to feel annoy
ed by system Of espionage Which four
strange men kept constantly over him. No
matter whether it was 9n foot or in coach
that he left the hotel 4,e was followed by
one or two of these men, who always came
from Van CLAIMS lagef-beer saloon, on the
corner Of FoIty-fiith street and Fifth ave-
nue.. The police officer stationed ut the
hotel was first notified of the fact, and by
his advice Inspector Thorne was informed
of the annoyance OF which the Prince COM
planned. Yesterday the Inspector sought
the assistance OF Judge Kasmire, at the
Fifty-seventh-Street Court. The Inspector
said that Don Carlos was ready to make a
complaint against the four spies, whose
names were Van Zandt, Taylor, Bif1y, and
Mohlman, and were undoubtedly in the
employment Of the man Davies, before
alluded to. ase
Judge KasmTre agreed to visit Don Carlos
at his hotel after court hours, which he did;
but the Don, instead OF granting him au-
dience in person, sent his secretary to say to
the Judge that friends had advised him not
TO make complaint; that it would only az
ford his enemies an opportunity OF saying
that he was coward, and that his fears
were only the results. of an ovcr-eXcited ina
gination. Judge Kasmire told Mr.. Waite,
who acted as interpreter, to say to the secrc-.
tary that in leaving his court to attend
matter Of public importance lie was doing
an act very unusual with him or any other
Justice in this country. He did it as an act
of courtesy to stranger in trouble, but the
Prince, II he wished him to take any official
action in his behalf, would have to appear
before him in person. The secretary eX-
planned that the Princes intention was to
come in person as soon rs m American gem
tleman-Mr. Dana, Of the Sun-should con-
clude his interview with him. Mr.. Dana
was the person, it was understood, whose
advice was not to cause the arrest
OF the parties complained Of. The secretary
then left, and in few minutes Don Carlos
himself entered Mr.. Waite's private office.
He was smoking cigar, and cordially sa-
luted all present. Judge kasmire told Mr.
Waite then to ask the Prince il his wish
was to make complaint against any one.
The Prince replied that he thought it better
not at present. He was not afraid Of those
persons, but it was very annoying to him
to be logged like q criminal everywhere he
went He had an aversion, besides, Of APP
pearing in 4 matter Of such 4 nature before
the public in courtroom. Judge Kasmire
said that he need not appear before the pub
lie, and that the matter could be examined
in his private room ut the courthouse at q
time to suit the Princes convenience.
The determination Of the Prince not to
make q complaint was fixed, and it was
finally arranged that the future safety of the
would-be Spanish monarch while in this
city should be left in the hands of Inspector
Thorne, and that If he were further annoy |
ed the offending parties should be arrested |
at once and taken to court.-Neao Iort
