Don Carlos Does Not Want Responsible.

ity i'll Time OF War.
New York. June 22-R. r. de la
Cortina, who is the accredited agent
in the United States Of Don Carlos,
pretendcr to the throne Of Spain, has
returned to this country from Eu-
rope. arriving here on the steamship
Southwark. Although of Spanish
BIRTH. Senior C0rtina is a naturaIized
American citizen. lie told a repre-
sentative Of the Herald that the OBJ
jcct OF his visit to Europe was to
meet Den Carlos in Brussels. In
this respect, he says, his journey was
successful. He declared that the
crown Of Spain, six weeks ago, was
offered to Don Carlos. and was re-
fused, Don Carlos preferring not to
take upon himself the responsibility
Of directing Spuin's affairs ia the
present crisis.
The offer was made. Scuor Cortina
said, in the presence of himself and
Don Carlos private secretary, and
was accompanied with the assurance
of strong military support. The ten
der was made by an agent Of one of
the largest and most influential pOlit-
ical organ IzatioMs in Spain.
"Don Carlos refused to take the
throne at present." said Scnor Corti-
na, ''as any sensible man would have
done. The people in control now
have committed Il cOIlUsal blundcr in
engaging in this war, and he will not
be involved i'll it. They must settle
it themselves, and when Spain is
beaten and lumIatcd Don Carlos
will step in and lead the work Of re-
construction. The management Of
the war has been pitifuL. The Cadiz
fleet Goes out comes in again, and
once more starts. No one knows
where il is going and donot believe
the naval onici@l, themselves do.
Admiral Monte jo is abandoned to his
fate in the Philippines, and Ccryera
left without aid in Santiago. There
is no sign Of adequate preparation
for war, and :>pain;s brave soldiers
ana sailors are sent to their death by
Incompetent rulers at home.

House Committee Provides for the Posi-.
ton Of Lieutenant General.
Washington, June 22.-The house
committee on military affairs has
agreed on and fayorably reported a
joint resolution reyiving the grade Of
lieutenant general in the army. 1t
authorzes the president, whenever

lieutenant general to be selected
from those officers in the military
service distinguished for. courage,
skill and ability, the limitation in

al'' being stricken out by the commit
tee.
The committee disclaim any idea
Of having any single military com
mander in view, and assert the object
is to permit the selection by the
president Of the United States Of
one who should have higher rank
than any other officer as essential to
efficiency or management.
While Major General Miles has fire.

nethng more than a suggestion, and
leaves it open to the president whom
he shall appoint, the appointee, how
ever, being subject to confirmation
by the senate.
1t was pointed out by a ranking
member OF the committee that If
there should be battle at Santiago,
tor instance, in which General Shaf-
ter should figure, and he should per-
form some heroic act. he would stand
fair show for the coveted rank, and
SO with other commanding officers on
whose career the selection might de-
pend.
The committee also favorubly re-
ported the house bill giving to the
adiutant general Of the army, post
nuw held by General Corbin, the
