 when the rigid censorship now il force is remembered it readily may b, l believed that the half has not beer l told. Meantime General Weyler, wht 1 is a sort of bogy man to the presen l government, has curbed his garrulit, | temporarily and is complacently wait ing for the moment, now not far dis tant, when by virtue of his military reputation and undoubted popularity he may be called on to assume the rolt of dictator.
 The Carlists, seeing the immense prestige enjoyed by Weyler, seem in. clined to join forces with him, and this fact doubtless is the reason why Dor Carlos will make no effort to take ad. vantage of the present chaotic period to advance his own fortunes. He sees

 Is the idol of the masses today.
 If the throne is lost to the present dynasty it will be because of the sheer stupidity of the leading public men oi Spain and the crass ignorance of the people at large. The latter, knowing and caring less about the world out side their own country, have been de- ceived continually regarding the growth and power of the United States by their political leaders. Likewise the masses have taken no interest in the government of the Spanish colo nies.
 It mattered not to them if the island subjects of the crown were ground under the iron heel of a despotic rule They were called on only when sol- diers were needed to suppress rebel lion in far-away possessions
 The blame for Spain's present hu- predicament rests on the shoulders of Spanish public men of all political parties. Recognizing no method of dealing with rebellious sub jects except to murder them, they have refused to listen to any suggestions from other nations look ing to the adoption of more humane policy. They have gone blindly to their doom because they were deter mined to do as they liked with their own, seemingly unable to appreciate the fact that their cruelty sooner or later would force some other nation to interfere.
 If, months ago, when intervention in some form seemed certain, efforts had been made to prepare the minds Of the masses for the inevitable, doubt less public sentiment could have been induced to allow the surrender of Cuba without war, but instead Of telling the people the truth the news papers and leading men heapsd con- tumely upon the United States, and led the minimizing to believe that they were no match for Spain.
 The extent of this folly evidently has become apparent since the battle at Manila, and the rioting now taking place daily may be expected to yet get beyond control as soon as Spain meets with another serious reverse. Then probably will come the flight of

 Even now Christina is beside herself with apprehension. The boy king, 1t is said, is now old enough to under stand that his position is jeopardized, and that his mother is likely to be driven from the palace. Christina. upon every occasion where she can do so safely to herself and her boy, shows herself with the young king at her side, hoping that his appearance will have the effect of stimulating in the breasts of the malcontents loy- atty to the dynasty which is now so desperately.
 The i'll feeling against the queen, which has been long manifested on az count of her birth, has been intensi- jed, and the fact that she is ineligi- ole, is now dwelt upon in many quar- .ers. To add to the dislike which has been fostered against her, rumor has been received in Madrid that there is m understanding between the United States and Great Britain to the effect hat the former shall take the Canar- les and hand them over to the latter in return for the support which Eng and has given the United States in he present war. This has added fuel .o the flame of resentment against the of foreigners. and as the lueen is regarded in the light of for signer, she is liable to feel the effects of the story in a manner which will add to her discomfort
