/ Eency and various other violations Oh
national sentiment weakened the mon
archy and kept alive the hopes OF the
partisans of the pretender.
Don Carlos, the first pretender, dled
In 1858, but a second arose in the per-
son of his son Of the same name IN
whose favor his father had abdicated
his claims five years before. In 1860
an attempt was made in Valencia 10
stir WD another Carlist instruction, in
consequence of which the pretender and
his brother Ferdinand were arrested.
They were afterward liberated on sign
ing a announcement of all claims to the
Spanish throne. The second Don Car
los in the line of pTetenders died In
1861. Thereupon the present Don Car
los became the pretendeT to the throne
of Spain as Charles VII. in legitimate
succession, and the loyalty of the Carl
lists has conferred about him since that
time.
The pretender who figures in the tele-
grams of today is the nephew OF the
second and the grandson of the first.
He is the son of his predecessors broth
er Juan, and bears the full name OF
Carlos, Don Maria de los Dolores Juan
Isador Josef francesca Quirino Anto-
MO Miguel Gabriel Raphael de Bour-
bon. On his behalf Carlist uprisings,
speedily repressed took place in 1869,
1870 and 1872, but the insurrection
| headed by him in person after the abb
dication of King Amadeo in 1873 proved
much more formidable, and kept the
northern part of Spain, the Basque
provinces of the Pyrenees, in great con-
fusion till the beginning of 1876, when
1t was finally crushed. Don Carlos
himself crossed over into France, and
issued from Paris a proclamation, in
which he declared that while patriotism
enjoined upon him a peaceful attitude
at that time, the same patriotism might
counsel change of opinion, and he re-
manned free to reassert his rights at
any favorable moment.
Don Carlos has been twice married.
His first wife was a princess of the
house of Bourbon and a niece of the

the marriage, in 1867 and for many
years later, the couple were very poor.
They lived at Passy after the failure
OF their last attempt to gain the throne,
and were in actual restitution at times
Once Don Carlos had to sell his favorite
war horse to obtain food. Some CarIist
friends bought it in and presented it
to the pretender, who sold it again for
the same purpose.
The deaths of the Comte and Com
Jesse de ChamboTd, who left the most
OF their great wealth to their favorite
niece, the wife of Don Carlos, placed
the pretender in comfortable circum-
stances, but when she died it was found
that she had left her money in trust
for her children, leaving but small
allowance to her husband. He had
neglected her shamefully, and they had
lived apart for many years. He cast
about for means of relief, and in less
than year married the wealthy Prin-
cess Marie Berthe de Rohan. The mar
rage took place April 20, 1894, the bride
being just twenty years younger than
her husband. She is a member of the
lllustrious house of Rohan which
alone, Of all the noble families of
france and Austria, has the right Of
addressing the soVereigns as cousin.
Since the death of the Comte de
Chambord Don Carlos has been looked
on with new interest as a possible
pretender to the French throne, for nv
mat death he became the head of the
branch of the BOurbous which descends
IN direct line from the second son of
Louis XIV. In the Comte de Cham
oord the male line of Louis XIV. be-
came extinct. The Orleans line, the
head OF which is the Due d'Orleans. de-
sends from the Due d'Orleans a
brother of Louis XIV.
Don Carlos, who may become Charles |
VII. OF Spain, has five children bv his
nrst marriage, among them one son.
