81 MADRID, Sept. 1S.-More trouble is IN
store for Spain. There are unmistakable
<Figns in Carlist circles that most serious
6 internal troubles, as well as the uprisings
81 in Cuba, in the Philippine islands and
%possibly in Puerto Rico, win have to be
*faced.
Tho Carlist deputies early during the
U9rescnt month took determined stand
#against the adoption by the chamber Of
a the bill providing subsidies for the Span
& ish railroads. They asserted that money
zcould be better employed IN Cuba and
& elsewhere, and protested against the whole
#policy OF the government. placing them
& selves on record as being opposed to all
zRthe Ills complained Of by the suffering
a Enasses Of Spain.
When the railroad subsidies were adopt
ed, the Carlist deputies withdrew in
#body from the chamber. They were eager
" questioned in the lobbies and elsewhere
as to the probable attitude Of the Carlist
nass0s, and they did not hesitate in saying
n hat they could not guarantee that their
adherents in Catalonia, Navarro and else

zBourbon. duke Of Madrid, who claims to
be tho rightful heir to the throne of Spain.
S Other Carlist deputies admitted that

hvoid any responsibility for the disasters
which they saw were arising and it be-
pamo known later that secret instructions
were sent by tho Marquis Cerralbo. the
principal agent Of the pretender, TO the
Carlist organizations throughout Spain,
