When Others Have Failed.
NEW YORK, June Pr. D. de la
Courtina, the agent of Don Carlos in
the United States, arrived here from
Europe yesterday. He said he went to
Europe to meet Don Carlos in Brus-
sells, and that Don Carlos told him
that six weeks ago the Spanish crown
was offered to him and he refused it.
Any sensible man, said Senor Courti-
ma, would have acted as Don Carlos did
The present government has managed
the war very badly, and it must settle
1t. When Spain is beaten and humil-
lated, Don Carlos will step in and save
the country's honor.
''The Cadiz fleet" continued Senior
Courtina, sis the laughing stock Of the
world. Not even it's commanders know
what they are going to do. Montejo
and Cervera are abandoned, no effort
is made to assist Blanco, and the
Spanish soldiers and sailors are left
to their fate. Weyler is a Weylerite-
he is not a Carlist or a partisan of the
crown. He is simply waiting to turn
the tide Of affairs to his own advan-
tage.
''Sagasta follows the man in power.
If the crown is overthrown and Don
Carlos becomes king, Sagasta will be
found seeking the favor Of the new
government.
'The people will turn next to Re-
publicanism, but the republic will last
but a short time. When it goes to
pieces, then will come Don Carlos op-
portunity He will be a strong king,
and Europe will welcome him.

Spain cannot win it, and the sooner it

Capt. Gen. Blanco denies that he has
decided that there shall be no ex-
change of prisoners with the United
States. At the same time, the Captain
General says he cannot allow the ex-
change of Lieut.. Hobson and the other
members of the party who sailed the
Merrimac into the mouth Of the har-
Dor at Santiago de Cuba, for the rea-
son that the lieutenant and his COM
panions had opportunities for seeing

CHAMBERLAIN TO RESIGN.

that Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, secre-
tary Of state for the colonies, will
shortly resign from the ministry in or
der to assume the leadership of a large
number of Unionists in the house of
commons who are discontented with
the foreign policy of the government
There seems to be no doubt that Mr..
Chamberlain is dissatisfied with his
present position and If affairs in the
far East and in West Africa take the
turn he expects. his friends believe
that he will not remain in the cabinet
to share the shipwreck of a policy he
never approved. Whatever may be
the outcome the disquieting idea is un-
doubtedly prevalent in Conservative
circles that Mr.. Chamberlain contem-
plates some sensational moves and the
extent to which this is credited shows
how little Mr. Chamberlain can count
