spain VIII Probably Have More Trou-
BILE Within Few Weeks.
London. Nov 16.-The Madrid CORE
spondent OF The Daily Mail says: "A
leading Carlist tells me he will be as
tonished IL a formidable rising does not
occur in Spain within a month after
the peace treaty is signed. The Car
lists have abundant supplies OF money,
and. my informant says, only some
thing very big and unexpected can pre-
vent n rising.
This appears to agree with the news
that Don Carlos has succeeded in rails
ing an important loan in London and in
Paris. and that wealthy Carlist fam
ilies are insuring their property against
war risks.
Il questioned a prominent official at
the Spanish war office today on the
subject. and he told me he was well
aware Of the Carlist activity but that
the government was even more ready
than the Carlists. The bulk of the
actual standing army of Spain. he said.
is now occupying Aragon, the Basque
provinces and North Catalonia. There
is a larger number OF troops under the
colors than the law authorizes in or
binary times, the government having
decided that this is necessary to pre-
serve internal order. During the last
two months-still according to my in
formant-the government has greatly
increased it's war material and has re-
placed most of the artillery and am
munition sent to the West Indies. My
own opinion is. however, that the Span
ish people Will not tolerate a Carlist
rising, because civil war would only
complete Spain's ruin"

not be too highly commended In re-

the principle that brought on the Revs

themselves as Disguised with the con

DEFIANCE TO UNITED STATES.

Tells the Spanish Cortes She Has Sum-
moned Them to Defend Spain-Ap-
peals to the Spanish People to Gather
Round Her Sons Throne-Gratitude
Due the Pope For His Peace Efforts.
MADRID, Spain (By Cable).-The opening
of the Spanish Cortes Wednesday was
magnificent sight. All tho wealth and
beauty OF Madrid gathered in the Senate,
where every available foot OF space was
occupied. There was terrific crush at
the entrance leading to the Senatorial
seats, many of which were occupied by
ladies.
Large bodies OF troops were drawn up
outside the building, including the hand
somely uniformed Blue Dragons and the
magniacently attired Palace Guards. All
the members OF the diplomatic corps were
present in full dress.
The Queen Regent read the speech from
the throne. She referred to the troubles
mentioned at the last session Of the Cortes,
saying they had increased "owing to the
attitude Of part OF the people OF the United
States in fomenting rebellion" adding that
hitherto Spain bad submitted "to these
threats and injuries, IS not being the genu-
Inc expression Of the American nation, but,
becoming national, they would oblige me
to break relations with the United States"
Continuing, the Queen Regent remarked
that IN the supreme crisis the Pope spoke
words Of peace, which were hearkened to
by my Government, in the firm conscious
ness OF right and in the strict performance
pf international duties"
Her Majesty added: 'Spain's gratitude

The ports Of those sections will remain un-
covered and aid for the insurgents can be
run into them without molestation from
the vessels OF the United States.
Naval officers say that the blockade OF
Cuban ports is beautiful piece OF strategy,
Only about 130 miles Of the northern coast
is patrolled bv the United States vessels,
and one port only on the southern coast is
guarded by Admiral SIMPSONS ships. But
in the short stretches every port having
means OF railroad communication with
Havana is cut off from communication with
the outside world.
On the south coast, only Cienfuegos is
blockaded. but Cienfuegos is the only
place in that part Of Cuba which has di-
rect railroad communication to Havana.
The principal places on the northern coast
over which a blockade is now maintained
are Bahia Honda, Cabanas. Muriel, jain.

sPAIN's DESPERATE STRAITS.

Great Decline in Her Securities and Her
Financial Situation Appalling.
MADRID, Spain (By Cablel.-A royal de.
cree has been gazetted calling out $4,000
men OF the reserves OF 1897.
All the persons who have been consulted
by the Queen Regent have advised o con-
tinuunce OF the Sagasta Cabinet. It Is
probable, however, that the Minister OF
Marine, Admiral Bermejo, will insist upon
resigning in order to take command OF
squadron.
Patriotic enthusiasm reigns throughout
Madrid and the Spanish provinces. "A
crowd six thousand strong, delirious, car.
rying flags and shouting "Viva Espana!'
ave want war; and Down with the Yam
kees!" burned the Stars and Stripes in front
OF tho home of Senior Sagasta, the Premier,
who was enthusiastically greeted.
The most unpleasant feature Of the sit
uation is the panic which is prevailing at
the Madrid and Barcelona boursss and In
financial circles throughout Spain.
Despite the energetic efforts OF the lead
ing bankers and the remonstrances OF the
press, the people have begun in Madrid; !;
and even more in the provinces, to crowd
the branch offices Of the Bank OF Spain to
exchange notes for silver, which has long
been the only coin Of the country.
