BRAVE DON CARLOS.
NICE. jan 14.-Don Carlos, the pre-
tender to the Spanish throne, has made
the following statement to the Associated
Press representative here: II do not
wish as a Spaniard to remember the in
suits addressed by the American senate
to my fatherland. but. politician ought
not to forget that friends never insult.
Spain. has two immense forces-an ad-
mirable people who despise all material
conditions when the nation is involved
and heroic army which continues the
glory of immortal history. Supported
by these two elements Spain IS strong
enough to affirm her independence and
maintain her sovereignty. Mediators
are out of place where there is gov
ernment worthy of the name. 1t Is this
which Spain lacks, and it is due to this
that the United States fiounts her. But
the Spanish people who conquered
America and who are as courageous as
their government Is weak and short
sighted, still exist. One should never be
provoked but must be ready to defend
ones self against all. Spain can do this"
A PROMPT DENIAL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-It is posi-
lively denied that the United States and
Spain have practically concluded an
agreement regarding the terms to be
offered the insurgents for the settlement
of the Cuban rebellion. 1t is denied
also that a special envoy of Spain has
been sent to the United States as pri-
vate negotiEtor with special instructions
from Senor Canovas This report prob
lar arrived in Washington recently to
succeed one of the secretaries Of the le-
cation.
INSURGENT DENIAL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-Senor Que
seda of the Cuban junta declares there
is absolutely no truth in tire reports of
pending compromise on the basis of home
rule for Cubans, and says, the Cubans
are determined to fall like men, rather
than shamefully and with cowardice re-
nounce by entering irto or accepting
any agreement, which would mean the
abandonment forever of the high ideal
of complete emancipation.
NOT A FILIBUSTER
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 4-The
Clyde steamship Delaware, Captain IN
graham, which arrived in port this morn
ing from Boston. had quite an unax-
pected adventure just before Claylieht

About 2 o'clock this morning David
Kemps, one of the bar pilots, took out a
