QUEEN MARIE.CHRISTINA

Appointed Regent After the Death Of
Her Husband, Alfonso XII.
Unfortunately for Spain, the heiress to
the crown is little child, the Princess
Maria de las Mercedes, who was born
September II, 1880, and is the daughter of
the late King and the lady who assumed
the Office of Regent after his death. Marie
Christina can hardly be popular as Regent,
for as Alfonso's wife she was greatly disliked
by the Spaniards, and it does not appear
that she possesses the strength and ability
necessary to filling the exalted station which
the infancy of her elder daughter has in
duced her to assume. The Cabinet which ap
pointed her to Office had the choice OF
her or ex-Queen Isabella, who was driven
from power in 1868, for personal vices and
faults as ruler, which rendered her intol-
cradle to her subjects, This woman talks OF
leaving Madrid to avoid being made Regen,
in Christmas place, and it is rumored that
Sagasta, the new Premier, prefers Isabella
in the Office, to the young widow. The Car
lists and the Republicans are ready to take
advantage of a situation Offering them the
opportunity of pushing their interests.
Poor Christina occupies an elevated po-
sltion of great discomfort and danger, and
it is not probable, is hardly possible indeed
that she will be able to maintain it for the
long years of the minority of that one of
her children, born or unborn, who would
succeed Alfonso as King in case the success
sion should be maintained. When, as Re-
gent, she took the oath of allegiance to the
Constitution, she was intensely agitated,
and the moment the ceremony was over re-
tired to her apartments in a hysterical con-
dition. This is significant of weakness
of character which does not promise we'll
for the future of Spain, the country need
ing q firm and conciliatory policy.
The Queen Regent Christina is an Aus
trian, and, her enemies say, dislikes to
speak Spanish. She was born July 81, 1858,
and was married to Alfonso, on November
%, 1879. The younger of her two children,
Maria Teresa, was born November IL, 1882.
A vast number of Spaniards would be graf
fed if Queen Christina should become the
mother of a posthmuous son to the late AL
fonso, which is understood to be among the
possibilities of the future.
