Civil War Likely.

New York, July 3O.-The moment treaty of peace be- tween Spain and the United States is signed, Don Carlos will proclaim himself King of Spain and take active steps to secure the throne. Senor Diaz de la Cortina, the American representative of Don Carlos, received a letter from his chief yesterday containing the above information.
 ''Everything is ready for an immediate uprising" sad Sen or Cortina to day. "For weeks past the advisors and followers of Don Carlos in all parts of Spain have been making active preparations for the expected movement, and now a large body of men are onl waiting for Don Carlos to say the word that will set in motion an army and triumphantly place him upon the throne.
 "There is no possibility of defeat. Even those originally opposed to Don Carlos will now welcome his return as the savior of his country. High and low, rich and poor, aristo crat and peasant, all Spainards are disgusted with dynasty which could enter upon war with the prospects of certain defeat-and by such defeat Sagasta and the Alfonsoists have disgraced and almost ruined Spain. The surrender of Santiago by Tora' was the last straw. That finished Sd gasta.

How Our Ships Met the Enemy at
 Santiago.

Santiago.
 There was no swearing, no gesticulatlon, no confusion. Long weeks and years of dis cipline and practice does not lead to these things; 1t teaches men that em ergency in life is the rule and not the exception. Signal officers needed not to pick up their books for refer e;c. "The enemy C ming our" Tn red and white and blue was tugging at every halyard from the little Vixen to the mighty Iowa, which had fired warning three pounder, and answering pennants on every yard arm. The powder diviS ions were assem- bled on the lower decks, magazines were opened, and hoists were rigged and shot and shell were soon on their way to barDette and top and turret. Splinter nets were spread. In the ward room the officers mess table was covered, buckets and drains i'll place, and the sur geons stood waiting with their knives in a long, shining row. Engineers were at their posts below reading the messages as though another hour might not see them scalded in the steam their own boilers, and every rod and wheel Of that leviathan machinery was oiled and pol ished and ready and quickly turning at full speed. It was the massive Oregon. which had steamed the length of two oceans without breaking a valve, that first began to move.
 The film of smoke above the hills had become thick black mass, and then a warship was made out tearing for the open with the spray flashing high over her bows. Against the green of the sloping shore hung the red and yellow flag of Spain, and high on her mast head snapped the admirals pennant, Scarcely had she cleared the channel before her helm was thrust hard aport, and she swept around in a great circle and started for her life down the coast. "Tne enemy Is going west" signaled the Vixen at the first Swprve of the bow. as she scuttled out of the Brooklyn's fire, and the Reso lute was already dashlng off to Siboney, where the admiral was ln conference with Gen. Shafter. Another vessel shot out of the narrow way, then another and another, and then came the gleam of those pecu liar white waves which naval men know So we'll belong to a torpedo boat in full cry. Pant ing and lirobbing like live things mad with terror the SIX ships, brides of the Spanish navy, Were rnnning for the open sea.

 The courtiers of Madrid, like the rats of a falling house, are scampering for Paris and Lu cerne. They have turned their lacks on the boy Kings mother in the hour of her sorrow and have gone to find Dona Bertha, tie bizarre helpmeet of Don Carlos the npstart. They smell the cheese of new dyn- asty and would bury their aristocratic noses in 1t from the start.
 The fat heritage left to young Alfonso by the late King has been plnndered by titled conn selors and mixed by Captains General until there is nothing left but the bitter rind which Christina, with the blind de votion of a mother, believes to be the sum and crown of her boys honor and estate. The Spanish nobility, which has fattened on the royal substance, knows better and is watching for a new court, upon which it will faun and feast while the widowed mother who was Qaeen weeps over the lost heritage of her son.
 The plebes and peasantry of Spain have had no finger in the royal purse, They have seen their boys go sailing away to far islands to figt battles in which they had nothing at stake. With the blood of their children they have silently and hopelessly struggled to defend the empty pageantry of a cor rupt court, the mistaken vanity of Queen and he toy baubles of a royal boy. Asking noth- ing and receiving nothing, welding everything in a haZal q which can win them nothing, the common people of Spain will be the last to betray the mother of their King into the hands of their enemies at home.
 If the republicanism of Spain is not an empty ca chword calculated 10 conceal anarchy and entrap the bewildered peo- gle into ruinous disunion, there IS hope for them that is bright CT for the rout of a scayenger nobility.

DON CARLOS HOPES.

Il think that but little resis- tance will be offered 10 Don Carlos. don't see how any can be. In letter to me, written on June 15, lie says
 "Bts:des our own undisput- ed right, the public opinion of Spain is in onr favor. Every thing has been thoroughly pre- pared and we count upon the greatest part of the army-not only that uf the penlnsula, but also that coming from our colo nies.'
 "DOn Carlos has been for some time at Lucerne, Switzrl- land, where he has been per- fecting his plan of campaign. Everything has been arranged. and he is only waiting till Sa gasta completes his own hu initiation by signing the treaty of peace. Don Jaime, the cid est son of Don Carlos, has SC cured a leave of absence from the Car, whose commission he holds, and is now with his faith CT. He vii! have d com4aandi in the Carlist army. At the Hotel SchweiZerhof, in Lucerne where Don Carlos has estab- lished his headquarters, many of his staff have gathered ready to accompany him to Spain.
 "The newspaper reports that assert Don Carlos is vaciilat- ing and undecided are false. He is following out his ori2i nal policy and has never devi ated from it hairs breadth not for an instant. He has al ways said, and says dow. that he will not press his own claim nor interfere with Spain while she is at war with another country.
 CIVIL WAR WILL BE TERRIBLE.
 Eff there Is to be a civil war before Don Carlos gets his crown. it will be terrible one. It will be the last Carlist war, for Don Carlos has risked everything on hls chances now. If he is defeated it will be only when there are no more Car lists left 10 fight. This Is not braggadoclo. All Spanish sol diers are not ToraIs, nor are all Spanish leaders Sagastas. There can be no possibility of defeat, nor is there much prob ability of a war. Don Carlos campaign, judging from the feeling of the people. will be rather a triumphal procession from the Spanish frontier to Madrid"
 Senor Coftina holds that the failure of previous Car1ist cam paign nas been largely due f" foreign iDtrigues, chiefly that ot England.

Spain's Naval Personnel.

Another radical cause of the inetHciency of the Spanish navy is the enlisted man, whose condition seems worse than in any other service. He is kid
 naped by interruptions agents, as was the custom in the time of Frederick the Great and of George TIL. besotted and stolen from his home in tine provinces or from the taverns along the wharves in the sea port towns, and carried aboard ship to lose his freedom forever. He is beaten without mercy for the slightest offence, and some times killed. Naturally these sailors desert at every oppor- tunity, and numbers of them are said to have gotten away from the ships Spain senl to onr naval review in New York. Men who have been any time in any such drugery can have no self respect nor esprit dc corps, and 1t is not surprising they had to be filled with wine at Santiago and threatened with revolvers before they would go out to meet the Americans.
