DON CARLOS INTERVIEWED.
Only Our War with Spain Prevented
His Followers UPRISING.


His Followers Uprising.
Madrid, via Biarritz. June 21.-El I'M
parcial publishes an interview its cor
respondent has had with Don Carlos.
AS 1t Is understood that the pretender
revised the interview before 1t was
published, his statements may be re-
garded as in the nature of manifesto.
Don Carlos said
. II won't conceal from you that when
I left Venice last April l was resolved
to protest by means of force and arms
that is by ordering my partisans to
rise against the people who were pros
tituting our country by series of un-
Imaginable humiliations, but when l
learned that war against the United
States was imminent and might be
declared at any moment, l changed my
resolution and firmly decided to OBJ
serve the most absolute impassivity.
1.-The governing statesmen, who havo
committed the crime of not preparing
the nation for a war everyone saw to
be unavoidable for the last two years,
will never be able to accuse me of hav-
ing withdrawn a single Spanish will
from the national forces in the fight
with the United States. They brought
on the war by yielding continually to
American demands. and they will have
to take the responsibility of their mis-
take.
This attitude of mine will last so
long as the present condition Of affairs
endure But when the hour for the
great settlement arrives l shall make
up for the present silence. / will then
take my revenge. not by means of
words alone, but by means Of acts,
and l will do that as soon as my con-
science as a Spaniard permits me to
do it. l am firmly resolved to fulfill
my duty to the end. and to omit no
sacrifice in order to redeem and avengo
Spain"
Don Carlos, questioned as to the
policy he would adopt in case he should
mount the throne, said he could not
enter upon that subject now, beyond
admitting the necessity for o large in
crease in the navy, but he declared that
he had thought out and completed
plans regarding the military problem
and the question Of Spain's foreign
policy.
Don Carlos spoke eloquently Of the
necessity for prosecuting the war to
the utmost. "Our wonderful nerve.
spirit of resolution and exalted senti-
ment of honor are" he said. "the only
force Spain can bring to a nation with
which she may strike an alliance in the
day of the coming European contlagra-
tion. She must, therefore. preserve
jealously that force and spirit"

Washington, June 21.-It was an
nounced at the war department today
that no additional transports for troops
other than the Newport. which has
been impressed on the Pacific coast.
had been secured. The officials. how
ever, have been busily engaged in con-
ferring with the agents of steamship
companies as well as individual own
ers, with a view to securing additional
vessels. The department is decidedly
averse to resorting to impressment, and
only does it when all other efforts to
obtain the ships fail. Assistant Sec
retary Meiklejohn said that the im-
pressment of vessels for transports
would be the exception, and not the
rule. unless the latter were absolutely
necessary.
OF the II transports available by the
department in the east arrangements
are being made to have half a dozen
or more rendezvous at Tampa for the
puIpOocp VI SaiA az
ditional relnforcements to General
Shafter. The four ships which were at
Fernandina last week have been given
orders to go to Tampa, and one from
Mobile is already there. Just what
portion of General Skaters reinforce
ments are to be taken from Tampa has
not yet been announced, but with a
half dozen ships at it's command the
department ought to be able to trans
port approximately 2,0OO with their
equipments. and subsistence stores.
Most of the remainder it is expected,
will be taken from Camp Alger. Va,
amounting. 1t is said, to a brigade,
but this has not yet been definitely
settled The latter will leave the
country by the way Of Newport News
or Norfolk. going in the big vessels
Yale and Harvard, which have ca
pacity for carrying large number of
men. Secretary Alger was asked just
how many reinforcements would be
sent to General Shafter, but he de-
clined to state definitely the number.
saying, however, in a general way
there would be between 5000 and 10000
men.
The lack of suitable vessels for car
rying supplies of fresh refrigerator beei
for the army in Cuba, as we'll as for tha
starving people there. is proving very
embarrassing to the officials of the
commissary generals Office. Nearly
a week ago General Eagan opened bids
for supplying this necessary article OF
the soldiers diet, and would havo
awarded the contracts before this but
for the reason that there are no ships
available to carry the supplies. The
ships, when secured, will have to be
fitted with refrigerator apparatus in
order to preserve the meat fresh. and
this will take some little time. The
general Is anxious that the work shall
be gotten under way. not because there
is a lack of rations, but for the fact
that American soldiers like their fresh
beef wherever they go. and the aim OF
the officials is to keep them supplied al
far as practical.

rehched a1ter snort ana INFORMAL con-
sultatlon as to the Spanish attitude as
to the exchange Of prisoners, and the
likelihood that there will be no early
release of the gallant lieutenant and
his crew.
The first dispatch, announcing that
Captain General Blanco had peremp-
torily refused to exchange the Merri-
mac heroes, caused some indignation,
which was modified later by Madrid
advices quoting Sagasta as saying that
no decision had been reached. Should
Spain adopt the cruel and unusual
course of refusing an exchange the
regulations of the war department are
sufficient to meet the case. The fol-
lowing Is laid down in its regulations:
Retaliation will never be resorted to
as a measure of revenge, but only as
and, moreover cautiously and unavoid-
ably; that is to say, retaliation shall
only be resorted to after careful in.
uuiry into the real occurrence and the
character of the deeds that may de-
mand retribution. Unjust or inconsid-
crate retaliation removes the belliger-
ents further and further from the miti-
eating rules of regular war, and by
rapid strides leads them to the in
ternecine wars of savages."
1t was pointed out by a leading officer
of the army that the Spanish had most
to lose by a course of cruelty which
would call for retaliation, as the nun.
ber of Spanish prisoners is far greater
than that Of American prisoners.

Madrid June 2l.-Premier Sagasta,

channel leading into the harbor of San

WHY Spain Holds HOhSOn.

London. June 2l.-The Madrid cor
respondent of The Times says "Spain's
refusal to exchange Lieutenant Hob
son and his companions of the Mcrri-
mac is easily explained and justified.
Without any intention of acting as
spies. they must have seen many things
in and around Santiago about which
the American naval and military au-
thorities would gladly have informa-
ton"
