The Carlist FugTGive.

About fortnight ago 1t was an
nOunced in the eastern papers that
Don Carlos, the late insurgent lead
er in Spain, had arrived in this couu-
try, and was en- route west. Some
little sensation was occasiOned at the
time by this announcement, but in
day or two the fact ceased to be a
topic of conversation. Last week
the Chicago papers chronicled the
arrival of. Don Carlos in that city,
and on Saturday the Spanish exile
was parading about the streets OF
st. Louis. Yesterday noon, says
the Gazette, he passed through st.
Joseph over the Kansas City, St.
Joseph s. Council Bluffs railroad,
stopping there the conventional 20
minutes for dinner. A Gazette re-
porter, having been advised of the
movements of the prince, went
down to Winthrop, and came up
with His Majesty on the return
train. Senior Damli seems to be the
prominent character, and his ear
marks are plainly visible through
out the interview, for bigger dam

Don Carlos is apparently about

height, has a stouI, athletic figure.
rich, OLIVE complexion, large dark
eyes. raven black hair, curling
moustache and incipient goatee.
He dresses plainly and rather care
lessly, and his whole appearance
and manner are that of neglige. He
speaks the English language very
indifferently, in fact, cOnfuses the
Anglo-Saxon so miscellaneously
| with Spanish that to one unpractic-
ed in both languages his meaning is
scarcely intelligibIe. Don Carlos is
accompanied during his travels by
two gentlemen, the ono Senior Dam
Ii and his valet Aimed. The form
er was Don Carlos frat aide-de-
camp during the Carlist troubles,
and for years has been a fast friend
and one that in the Don's adversely
has not been found wanting. The
Senior speaks English quite fluently
and is exceedingly agreeable in
manner. Conversation with the
distinguished fugitive was had
through means of Senior Dami a.
interpreter.
The party are on the way to San
Francisco, where, if the country
and people suit His Highness, Don
Carlos will take up his permanent
abode. He seems to be deeply in
terested in the progress of the Mex.
lean war, and says that it would re-
quire but little urging to induce
him to cast his fortunes with the
insurgents in that country. Having
been reared in the camp, Don Car
los tastes lie in that direction, and
he says he is never SO contented as
when in the saddle at the head of q
troop of horse.
Don Carlos expresses himself as
being we'll pleased with the Ameri-
people, the country, and institu-
lions. He refers sadly to his re-
verses in Spain, and insists that il
was only through perfidy that his
ambition was defeated. He says
Alfonso is very kind, amiabIe
prince, but young man who will
be very apt to be unduly Influenced
by the scheming advisors that con.
