ONE OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, DESCRIBES THE
ENTHUSIASM FOR IT IN SPAIN.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

the article you published June &c about the Carlist
cause in Spain, signed by m. S." in which II is
affirmed that the Carlist cause Is dead in Spain
to-day as the Stuart cause is In England. which
the writer affirms from personal knowledge of az
fairs during his sotourn in Spain.

Of ideals and illusions, finds Just what he Is look
ing for and judges according to the treatment ne
has received. SO true Is this that although ] do
not know to what time the writer refers. am
sure that found just the contrary OF what ne re-
