Don Carlos and Chambord Comforting Each

Don Carlos and Chambord Comforting Each
Other.
The account recently published by a
Madrld correspondent relating to the rec
onclliatior4 of the two rival branches of
the Bourbons Of Spain has created con-
siderable excitement, and the Fiqaro has
undertaken the task Of settling the ques-
ton by means of personal interview
that has been said on the subject, Don
Carlos spoke as follows:
Il declare that have not renowned
my right to the throne Of Spain. 1t is
my duty to protect my rights and those
OF my dynasty, as well as the princi-
pies inscribed on my banner, which
is that Of Spain. I may add further,
that evcn setting the question of heredi-
tary claim aside it is impossible for me
to make the slightest concession on this
ground | am convinced that my cousin
Alfonso cannot reign long. The popular
masses in Spain are either Carlists or
Republicans. Alfonso, who dates from a
pronunciumcnto only: gained the throne
and is kept on it by means Of a staff with
which he must sooner or later disappear
My ideas about my rights are very abso-
lutte, but they are also those Of my cousin,
the Count de Chambord who has often
declared that he recognizes me as the
only lawful king of SPAN. No one de-
sircs a reconciliation more than I do, but
it this is ever to be accomplished, it must
be on the basis of the semi Saltic law es-
tablished by Philip V. in concert with
the general Cortcs I am not a conspira-
tor declared Don Carlos at the conclu-
sion OF the interview. II await the
course of events and trust in God"

her, and, falling On one knee, raised her

The devotion Of the Archduchess to the
Roman faith cannot be questioned, as she
belongs to the house Of Hapsburg, and is
closely connected with the Italian Bour-
bons. She was born on July 81, 1858,
