A CARLIST UPRISING
Will Probably Soon Add to SPANS
Tribulations.
AIDED BY THE GENERAL MISERY,

The Work of Carllsts and Fanntical
Republicans Is Quietly Progressing.
Small Armed Bands Appearing and
Disappearing In Various Parts.
London, Aug. THE Daily Mails
Blarritz correspondent says: a mani
festo by Don Carlos is announced TO
appear shortly. The Spanish ministers
assert that the pretender will not be
able to find enough money to run a rev.
olution, and will be forced to postpone
the rising until next spring There are
signs, however, that Don Carlos will
not wait so long. Meanwhile the Span
ish government will increase its pre-
cautions to prevent any outbreak of
Carlism. Though the censorship will
prevent the publication of the fact 1t
cannot keep it secret that small armed
bands are appearing and disappear
ing daily in various parts of Spain,
showing a general state of fermenta-
tion born of impatience with the pres
ent condition of things. The work Of
fanatical republicans and Carlists is
being helped by the general misery and
by the prevailing irritation against the
government.
Within the last few days a carabineer
post near Sueza, in the province Of
Valencia, has been attacked by a band
of armed men and the corporal of
carabineers and one civilian seriously
wounded. 1t is stated that the cara
bineers had opposed the landing OF
arms during the night from a barge
near Tarragona. The civil guard ar
rested four men who were carrying 10
old guns.
The Castillon band still continues it's
progress and has been largely increas-
ed in numbers the last few days. At
the beginning it was much larger than
the authorities cared to avow, and it
has now become important. -..
In a.. field near Alganices, in th2
province of Zemora, the bodies of a
corporal and two privates of cara
bneers who had been murdered prob
ably by men smuggling arms from
Portugal, were found yesterday, and
close by another carabineer who was
almost dead Their weapons had dis
appeared. These Incidents, however,
are only sporadic, and nothing like a
general uprising is threatened yet
awhile.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Aug. 49,
About $50 or $50 men disguised as
white caps" visited the home of Susie
Colston, near Smthfield, Wettsel
county, and dragged the inmates, six
women and three men, out of bed in
their night clothes. No time was given
them to get their clothes, money or val
uables. The house was then blown to
pieces with three sticks of dynamite.
The inmates were taken down Nor
gans run and tarred and feathered and
then taken to the Shuman House and
all lodged in a room together till day
light No apparent effort was made to
discover who did the act and the pop
ular sentiment is that nothing wrong
was done.

Princeton, KY, Aug. 19.-The most
sensational killing that has taken place
in this city for years occurred yester-
day afternoon. The principals in the
affair were Jimmy Johnson, white, IL
years old, and Charles Wood, a negro,
aged IA. The boys engaged in a game
of marbles, and began a dispute over
the matter, when the negro picked up
a rock and advanced toward Johnson,
striking him in the back. Johnson fell
and died immediately. The officers
succeeded In capturing Wood and he
was lodged in Jail. There is great eX-
citement over the matter owing to the
prominence of the Johnson family IL
is thought by many that a mob will
hang the negro.

Manila WIN Rival Hong Kong.

Paris, Aug. 19.-The American posi-

attention. The SOleil says: "The
Americans will quadruple the value of
the Philippines, and Manila will become
the rival of Hong Kong. The United
States will have a prepOnderating sit
uation in Chinese waters. There is no
market they desire more eagerly than
the Chinese, and though they have
been forestalled by other powers they
will assuredly overtake their rivals by
the rapidity of their progress in that
region, and in the coming break up Of
the Chinese empire the United States
will not be content, with the worst
fortunes for their heritage"

OBTUSE SAGASTA.
'The Present State of Things Is
Neither Peace Nor War;"
TO SOLVE COMPLEX QUESTIONS.

While the Premier Is Endeav oring to
HoodwInk the Spanish Public, the
Government Declines Information
Regarding Augustus Flight.
Madrid, Aug. 2O.-El Liberal pub
fishes remarks made by Senior Sagasta
on the diplomatic and political situa-
tion, quoting the premier as follows:
From a legal point of view the pres
ent state of things Is neither peace nor
war, but merely a suspension of hostil-
tiles. An armistice would have allowed
us to dispel better the obscurity of the
situation, but the United States de-
clined to agree to our making a step
further I'm advance.
"The questions to be solved are nu-
merous and complex. What we have
done first is to lay down certain bases,
on which each minister may make any
observation which study of the subject
suggests. These will continue to be
treated In daily cabinet councils, 1t
being held that the bases in question
are the fundamental instructions for
the guidance of the various commits
to be supplemented and rectified sub
sequenty by telegraph.
I'm Cuba, besides evacuation, there
are many other problems. Spain may
abandon her sovereignty over the
greater Antilles, but there will remain
the question of edifices and all our
properties. There are lawsuits before
TIE tribunals affecting the interests of
the Spanlards. Where and when will
these be decided? In Havana. where
a large number of criminals have been
condemned by Spanish tribunals, what
is to be done with them? Then there
are other questions for which we have
to fix basis of discussion and agree
ment, regarding the Philippines. Be
| sides these and other problems of
greater Importance there is prelim-
| mary question to be discussed.
| According to international law a
| suspension of hostilities has been sign
! ed and the surrender of Manila ought
to have no legal efficacy. How will thai
| principle be understood by the United
| States? This causes us much anxiety,
| and we give 1t great attention, but we
are still awaiting the information de-
manded from General Jaudenes, which
has not reached us, on account of the
difficulties of communication between
Manila and Hong Kong"
These remarks have all the appear
ance Of being authentic, as they are in
accord with infonnation from Other
sources and in harmony with SeGOr- Sa
| gasta's usual style.
The public Is still anxious for an eX-
planation of Governor General Angus
tis mysterious departure from Manila
but it's curiosity is not likely to be sat
isfied for some time, the government
declining to say anything.
1t is rumored that the government
will instruct the Cuban commissioners
to present strong case for the recog-
milton of Spain's claim for compensa-
tion for the cessiOn of public works
in Cuba, the compensation to take this
form of saddling upon Cuba the bulk
of the Cuban debt existing in 1895.
