LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Daily Mall S
Biarritz correspondent says "A manifesto
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 revolution 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
Spanish government will increase it's pre-
cautions to prevent any outbreak of Carl
ism. Though the censorship will prevent the
publication of the fact it cannot keep it Sc
cret that small armed bands are appearing
and disappearing daily in various parts of
Spain, showing a general state of fermen-
tation born of Impotence with the present
condition Of things. The work of fanatical
Republicans and Carlists is helped by the
general misery and by the prevailing irrita-
ton against the government.
within the last few days a Gardiner
post near Sueza, in the province of Valen-
cia, has been attacked by band of armed
men and the corporal of carbineers and one
civilian seriously wounded. 1t is stated that
the carbineers had opposed the landing of
arms during the night from barge near
Tarragona. The civil guard arrested four
men, who were carrying twelve old gums.
The Castilion band still continues its prog
ress and has been largely increased in num-
bers during the last few days. From the be-
ginning it was much larger than the au-
thorities cared to avow and it has now be-
come important.
In field near Alganices, in the pre- vince
of Zamora, the bodies of corporal and two
privates of carbineers who had been muir
dered, probably by men smuggling arms
from Portugal were found yesterday and
close by another carbineer, who was almost
dead. Their weapons had disappeared.
These incidents, however, are only sporadic
and nothing like a general uprising is
threatened yet awhile.
The Madrid correspondent Of the Daily
News says that Generals Blanco, Castel-
lanos and Leon and Admiral Manterola have
been appointed commissioners for Cuba and
Generals Macias and Ortega and Admiral
Vallarino for Porto Rico. 1t is probable.
the correspondent says, that Senior Leon y
Castillo, the Spanish ambassador TO France,
will preside at the sessions of the Paris
commission. Senior Moret's canddature is
made impossible by the hostile attitude of
the press.
The Madrid correspondent of the Standard
says: Spain and her continental patrons
still hope that the United States may be
induced not to take advantage of the con-
quest of Manila, but will be satisfied with
coaling stations, trading privileges, etc.
Should the retention of Manila be insisted
on the United States may meet more trouble
even than Japan did in securing the re-
suits of her victory over China and at the
hands of the same. powers"
The Madrid correspondent of the Times
says: Letters from the Philippines bear
remarkable testimony as coming from hos
tile Spanish sources to the administrative
capacity and admirable organization of the
Tagalo instruction under Aguinaldo. The
dispatch also says: THE article in Ell
TEMPO referring to Article of the protocol
continues to be discussed in the light of
the necessity for radical political reforms.
FL impartial prints remarkable article
in which it attributes the country's disas-
tiers to administrative inefficiency, caused by
the existing political system, which subor-
dinates national interests to those of poll
ticianS and their friends
