QUEENS BIRTHDAY.
This was the queens Dir friday (she
was born July q. 1859, but. owing TO
the nations circumstances, the usual
official receptions and bacqUets we're
suppressed. The ceremony was a pri-
vate mass celebrated in the chapel of
the royal palace. The royal family and
the court attended this service. The

tomary funds be distributed in works
of charity. There were many visitors
at the palace today. The queen re-
gent received coneratulatory d, s. oh S
from the pope and several sovcrelgns.

London, July 22.-Despite the denial
of the Madrid correspondent Of tie
Times, special dispatches from Madrid
to the London morning papers. espec-
tally such as come by way of the from
tier and eiude censorship, continue to
assert that the Carlists are active. For
instance, the Madrid correspondent of
the Standard says: The government
continues TO receive from civil and mil
itary authorities in many provinces
alarming information as TO CarliSt
preparations. Arms and ammunition
tain passes into Navarro, Aragon and
Catalonia, 1t is supposed, with the con-
nivance of the local authorities on both
sides of the frontier.
The Carlist agents and leaders know
that they can act with a certain
amount of impunity, because so long as
the pretender and his representatives
and newspapers in Madrid periodically
disclaim all intention of disturbing the
peace during the war with the United
States they feel certain that Senior Sa-
gasta and the authorities win not dare
arrest or modest Carlists. They as
sumo that Senior Sagasta cannot afford
to affront a large section of the peo-
pie and risk civil war when his hands
are so full.
In some cases. however, the military
governors have suppressed the Carlist
newspapers. and have warned the Carl
list junta that stronger measures viii
be taken if they persist in agitation.
The Carlists in Madrid say that the
first risings will occur in western, CEN
trail and southern Spain, their ancient
strongholds. in order to.sbow the ex-
tent and power of their organization.
