The account recently published by
Madrid correspondent relating to the rec
onclllatlon of the two, rival branches of
the Bourbons of Spain has created con-
siderable excitement, and the FSgaro has
undertaken the task of settling the ques-
ton by means of personal interview
with Don Carlos himself. In spite of all
that has been said on the subject, Don
Carlos spoke as follows: .
II declare that have not renounced
my right to the thrcne of Spain. It is
my duty to protect my rights and those
OF my dynasty, as we'll as the princi-
pies inscribed on my banner, which
is that of Spain. I may add further,
that even 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
pr0nunciamento only, gained the throne
and is kept on it by means of q 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-
sires reconciliation more than 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 Cortes. am not conspira-
tor" declared Don Carlos at the conclu-
sion of the interview. II await the
course Of events and trust in Cod"
The Archduchess Christine is not an
imposing beauty, but she possesses a
graceful charm that has won many hearts.
She has been educated under the watch
full eye of her mother, to whom she is
deeply attached. She is mistress of five
different languages, she draws and paints,
and is an excellent pianist. She yields
without any contradiction to any wish
expressed by her, be it ever so difficult,
I-and rejoices like a child. when praised.
She is perfectly free in her political views,
and never conceals her most decided an
tipathies.
The marriage of the young King of
Spain is fixed now positively to take
place on the 28th of November. His
Gancee has just arrived in the city iucog-
nito in company with her mother, who,
notwithstanding the preparations made
by the Austrian Legation to receive them,
proceeded to a hotel. Queen Isabella
called on the Archduchess during the
evening. Upon, entering the room, her
future daughter-in-law advanced to greet
Ler, and, falling On one knee, raised her
hand to her lips. "On your knees before
mew exclaimed the Queen. 'You, the
finance of my beloved son? Please rise
to your feet"
The ex~Queen then embraced her affec-
tionately, and they sat side by side on a
lounge and entered into most affection
| ate conversation, in which the Arduchess
Marie; Christine announced her intention
of devoting herself to her future husband,
but Of abstaining entirely from politics.
Ex-Queen Isabella was impressed very
highly with the accomplishments of the
young lady, and promised to be present
at the wedding.
AViennese lady who lived for some
time with the Archduchess Christine, con-
tributes the following description OF her
in Vienna journal:
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,
and is only eight months younger than
King Alfonso. The young Archduchess,
when 10 years of age, shed many tears
when she was informed that the Emperor
had selected her to be the Abbess of the
Ladies' Convent at Prague. It took a
long time to convince and persuade
her that she had not to take the veil
and go into the cloister, but that this
was simply place of high honor
| and income, and that she could at any
moment exchange it for the bridal veil.
An interesting account of the death of
the Duo d'Enghien, the Prince whom
Napoleon selected as his victim, in 1904,
and had him hot as traitor after a
mock trial, in order to deter the Royal
lists from further attempts upon Napo-
Icons life, is given in the memoirs Of
Nine. de Remusat, which have lust been
published in the Reuue des. Deur Mondea.
On the evening before it occurred Nine.
de Remusat remarked that Nine. Bona
parte was unusually sad, and as they
were driving together to Malmaison she
learned that the reason was that Bona
parte had seut' M. de Coulaincourt to the
frontier to arrest the Due d'Enghien.
The wife of fine First Consul had pleaded
with Napoleon that the Dukes life should
be spared, but in vain. 'Women," he said,
'must not interfere in such matters. NV
policy requires coup d'etat. This will
enable me to act more mildly in future,
while If l show mercy in the present case
shall be exposed to whole series of
conspiracies. The Royalists would have
compromised me, and I must therefore
set myself right with the Jacobins. Be-
sides the Due d'Engllicn is implicated
in the conspiracy of Georges Canondel:
he disturbs France, serves the English,
and influences the army by his military
qualities, while after his death the troops
would 81 i've up entirely the Bourbon cause.
In politics a death which gives peace to
the country is not crime;
On the following day Nine. Bonaparte
told Nine. de Remuset that the duke
would arrive at Paris that evening, and
would be shot at V;ncennes. She added
that b[urat was constantly exciting the
First Consul against the Duke, and sug-
costing to him that the Jacoblns were fu-
rious at the moderation shown by the
Government. At dinner Bonaparte remark
ed that Nine. de Remusat looked very pale
and asked her why she did not put on
rouge. "There are two things" he said,
(which arebecoming to women-rouge
and tears" He seemed in very good
spirits, and joked with his wife stwith
more freedom than propriety." Next
morning N. Savary came to tell Nine.
Bonaparte that all was over. The Duke
behaved with great courage, refusing to
have his eyes bandaged, and only beg
cling the soldiers not to miss him. Sever
