AUTHORITIES ARE ALARMED
PLANS FOR THE UPRISING
 ELABoRATELY DEVISED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

 :. LONDON, Dec 1.-The Biarritz cor respondent of the Daily Mail says: Senor Sagasta, who has hitherto been skeptical on the point. now admits that Carlism is the greatest existing danger in Spain. The authorities are seriously alarmed at the indication of an immi- nent rising. The Carlist plans have been deliberately devised, even to the extent of appointing a Governor of Madrid.
 The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail says: Lieutenant General Correo. Minister of War, declares that the Government has 14OOOO troops in readiness to take the field in the event of Carlist rising and will soon have 2O0,0O available. He says, however, that he does not believe the Carlists in- tend to move.
 Four hundred guns, which were smuggled, have been seized in a Basque Village. Don Carlos, in his forthcom- ing manifesto, will make a strong ap- peal to the army. The Carlists agree among themselves as to the ability of an immediate movement The military element Is impatient, but the civilians urge the uselessness of an attempt to rise until the Carhsts are assured of the help of the army
 The Rome correspondent of the Daily Mail says: The Pope has been so much by the alarm expressed by the papal nuncio at Madrid at the pos- sfbility of civil war that, with the con- sent of the Queen Regent, and with a view of avoiding bloodshed, he has opened negotiations with Don Carlos, proposing that Don Jaime, the pre- tenders son, should marry Princess Mary of Asturias.

cord with the Presidents policy and have been throughout the war and the negotiations leading up to peace. but each has large private interests. and neither is apparently ambitious for higher political honors. Should tbe resignations be accepted Whitelaw Reid will undoubtedly succeed MT Bliss, while Representative Hilborn of California will assume the naval port folio. po-
 Mr. Hilborn Is particularly fitted for the position, having made the needs of the navy the study of his lifetime. Be- cause California so stanchly supported the administration at the recent cleo tion and made such great gains if is believed the President should recognfze it by giving it representative in the Cabinet in the event of a vacancy.
 Expansion and construction of the Nicaragua canal mean more to the Pa c1f1c States than to any other section say Californians who are here. and they should be represented at the coun. ell board of the President
 While the rumored changes in the Cabinet seem purely speculative as yet. the gossip seems to have high authority for it's origin.

sent to Lafayette, Ind. The matter was brought before the trustees and they decided to send her. The sum of. $52 was appropriated for railway fare. The patient had also S30 or her own. The girl had been improving rap idly for the past year and all the phy- sicians pronounced her well enough to travel alone. A. tourist ticket over the Union Pacific was purchased and the excursion manager agreed to watch out for her.
 On November 16 Bessie Bailey was ordered discharged from the asylum and the next morning she started East. She was in the best of health and joy ous at the prospect of going to her relatives. She was driven to Milpitas to catch the 6 o'clock train for Oak land, where connection was made with the through Eastern train.
 Here the mystery commences. There IS some doubt as to when she died. The information varies. One story is that she went straight through on the train and was found dead at Elko, while an- other rumor has it that she stopped over night at Sacramento.
 The asylum authorities say the girl was in perfect health, save a slight cold. She had no poison, and 1t is not thought she would kill herself. It is not known what disposition was made of the remains, but it is supposed they were buried in the potter's field.
 Bessie Bailey has had more than her share of notoriety since she became an inmate of Agnews. Last summer she figured prominently in the scandal at that institution. On the morning of June l2, Eddie Herbert, an attendant, was caught in shirt sleeves and stock ing feet in the corridor in front of Bessie Bailey's room. Herbert was told to report to Dr. Sponogle, but instead Of doing ha hic xxyI1a nd rode away. Inquiry developed the fact that he had key to the door of the corridor and she a key opening the door into the corridor. They met clandes- timely and spent much time in one an- others company.
 Bessie M. Bailey was committed to the asylum on June 29, 1896 from Santa Cruz. She was IS years of age, and, as the record states, homeless and friend less. Hysteria was the cause, and she was Respondent. Mrs. Oliver, a sister, also Is an inmate of Agnews.
 Chairman Curnow of the Board of Managers said this evening:
 Mystery certainly surrounds Bessie Bailey's death, and 1 would like to see it cleared. I do not believe she com mitted suicide. or she would have left some trace. There is no reason know of why she should be made aNtay with. yet I cannot believe death resulted from natural causes"
 It was rumored that an attache of the asylum had paid particular attention to Miss Bailey, given her chicken dinners and spent a great deal of time in her company; also that the Board of Trus- tees had discussed the affair at the last meeting. The person accused was in- terviewed tonight and denied these statements. He said they were made to injure him, and he knew the originator of the islander.

turned over to the navy He said he would refer such matters to the Secretary ing upon what l considered my duty in the matter, particularly in view of our late experience of Spanish perfidy in re- gard to the injury of ships, which, in my opinion, made 1t necessary to look after their safety at once. I thus, after the hauling down of the Spanish flag, sent prize crews on board the gunboat Ava the harbor An officer Of the army was found on board the Alvarado, who stated ne had been sent to take charge of her, whereupon I addressed the following let ter to General Shafter:

 Alter quoting some further corre spondence on the matter in which sampson claims the prizes, he refers to the expulsion of Lieutenant Doyle from captured vessels and the failure of Shafter to invite any of the squadron oIlcers to be present at the surrender. and adds: etioiei'
