been arrested. The exodus of Carlists
from the northern provinces OF Spain into
France is extremely active.

spondent OF the Times, noting the great
Increase in Carlist activity, says:
"All the leading members of the party
have left Madrid. On the other hand,
some influential Carlists repudiate any
Illegal action, and the best authorities
in the monarchical parties are also OF
opinion that there is no danger OF a
rising at present. since few Spaniards are
willing TO increase the nations calamities
by plunging ths country into the horrors
of civil war"
NO PEACE MOVE YET.
LONDON. July 26.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Standard says:
There Is still an effort to keep alive
the impression that something is going |
on behind the scenes in the direction of
peace, but the prevalent idea is that the |
war will continue until the fall Of Manila |
and the invasion OF Porto Rico.
CABINET CRISIS AvERTED.
"a Cabinet crisis has been averted for |
the time being. Those who succeed the |
present Cabinet will certainly be obliged |
ere long to ask the country to submit 70
terms profoundly repugnant to the ma
Iional pride. The prospect of intermediary
is marred by the loyal and COR
rect attitude OF General Polayieja, who
declines to become the INSTRUMENT OF
politicians eager to create a third party"
