Don Carlos, calling upon his
loyal followers throughout the
United States and South America
to join him at once. Some will
leave here on steamships sailing
today; others have left already
and still more will leave as soon
as they can settle their affairs in
this country.
Rafael Diaz la Cortipa, the
official representative of Carlos in
this country, yesterday received
instructions to join Don Carlos
and will leave for Europe during
the coming week. According to
Senior Cortina, the general ferment
in Spain today is the beginning
of the end of the present
dynasty. The emissaries of
Don Carlos throughout have
reported that an overwhelming
majority of the people are ready
to flock to his standard the in
slant it is raised. General Wey-
Ter aud the army are only waiting
to receive the word to openly de-
clare their allegiance to him. Thet
majority of the naval officers, in
Guiding all of the fifteen Admirals,
are already pledged to him.
Madrid, May IA military
dictatorship is expected in Ma
drid in order to contend against
the spreading disturbances arising
from hunger and the defeat Of the
Spanish fleet at Manila. Marshal
Campos probably will be the
head of the dictatorship, supported
by Cabinet composed in the
main of military men, as the last
chance of saving the dynasty.
Madrid, May THE Chamber
has just witnessed the most up
roarious scenes in the annals of
the Cortes. Senior Molla, a Carlist
Deputy, in speech, made use of
a scriptural quotation referring to
ian unfortunate nation, whose
kings are boys" adding that wo-.
men were always the cause of the
fall of thrones.
! Senior Mella first censured the
Government for not making an al
lance with France and Russia,
and severely denounced the
scheme OF autonomy, which be
asserted, far from avertlug war,
had provoked it. He declared that 1
President McKinley's messages

Minister of the Colonies, who was

Senior Mella then quoted from
Isaiah iii:l2: "As for my people,

the chamber.
Senior Sagasta, the Premier,
supported by a majority of the
Chamber, protested, amid great
confusion, against Senior Mella's
language. The Republicans sid

he had used was di.respectful to

from the Chamber of the offend
