CIVIL WAR At HOME.
Now Menaces Not Only the Peace
but the Dynasty Of
the Oons.
CARLOS FORCES BECOME ACTIVE.

Said To BE Preparing for an Uprising
Against the Present Occupant of the
Throne-Neccssity of Peace with the
United States Admitted, but Sagasta
Hcsitates-London Times Reviews the
Proceedings at santiago.
London, July 19.-The Madrid corre-
spondeIt Of The Daily Mai says: 1t
is well-known that for some time past
the Carlists have been secretly placing
stores. arms and ammunition in many
of the smaller towns along the French
side of the frontier When the signal for
a Carlist rising is given the taking of
these supplies and munitions of war
will occupy at most a single night, as
the men are ready ard know where they
must go to receive arms and equip
ments. The Basque provinces seem very
quiet, but this is explained by the fact
that the orders of Don Carlos are most
stringent in the sense that nothing
but be attempted until he gives the sig
nal, when the rising is to be general.
The government has increased meas
ures OF precaution to nip in the bud any
attsmpt Of the kind. During the last
few days more troops arrived at Tolosa
and Neraga, two points of strategicai
Importance ia the last civil war.
Republicans Buying Arms.
The signal for the rising probably
will be given in the country be-
tween Catalonia and Valencia, and in
Navarro, where Don Carlos has his most
fanatical partisans. The BASQUE
provinces would fellow when the garri-
sons there shall have been weakened by
the necessity of sending troops to fight
the Carlists in Navarro. l have infor-
nation also that the Republicans, esps-
cially those of Valencia and Andalusia,
are buying arms. General Weyler is
reported to be in communication with
beth the CarlistsandtheR Republicans. El
impartial accuses President Mckinley
Of deliberately prolonging the war in
order to carry it into Spain. to enable
England in the final settlement to de-
rive territorial advantages at Gibraltar
or in the Canaries.
Necessity of Peace Admitted.
The Madrid correspondent Of The
Times says: Captain General Blanco
and General TOral were given a free
hand in the surrender of Santiago, as
the government did not desire to expose
itself to such criticism as followed the
destruction Of Admiral Cervera's squad
ron when it was alleged that the gov
eminent ordered Admiral Cervera to
quit the bay. The necessity of making
peace is now universally admitted. but
the necessity of making 1t quickly is
less generally realized, and partly ow-
ing to Senior Sagasta's INDIGESTION ap-
parently nothing definite is being done
by the government, which seems in no
hurry to make proposals.

BIG COMBINE IN IRON,
What ID. o. Mills Has to Say of Rumoret
Consolidation.

New York, July I'D. o. Mills, who
Is said to have large interests in North
western iron lands, made this statement
concerning the rumored consolidation Of
the Illinois Steel company, Minnesota
Iron, Pennsylvania Steel and Camoria
companies: LAS ! understand it there
has been but one preliminary conference
looking to the consolidation of North
western steel and iron companies. In
the form of consolidation / am inclined
to oppose it. If. however, proper terms
can be arranged it will be a benefit to
all concerned. 1t is quite natural that
in such a combination certain interests
would desire to be especially favored.
Should such interests agree to accept
equitable terms 1 weuld gladly favor
the contamination of such an agree
ment. 1t would tend to make perma-
nent trade relations which would be of
inestimable benefit. Should this matter
be brought to a successful issue there
would not necessarily be any conflict
with the present Rockefeller Carnegie
arrangement. as supplies would only
be furnished for the company's own use
upon a minimum basis

pacity as the Americans have shown
could have at any time stormed Santi-
ago. Happily q useless sacrifice Of life
has been averted. The direct gain to
the United States from the capitula-
ton is small, but the indirect results
are important in the growth of mutual
respect between the two nations, and
the lesson to the Madrid government
that 1t may now abandon a hopeless at
titude without loss Of military honors.
The whole Santiago campaign con-
forms strictly to the experience Of the
Past. The American navy has dis
played conspicuous ability. Torpedoes
have played less important part than
was anticipated, and ii may be hoped that
over-water discharges on board cruisers
will now be abandoned, if indeed these
craft may not be exempted from the
incubus Of the torpedo. Judging from
the American experiment at Santiago
the prospect Of bombardment from in
visible naval stations over cliffs will
not be very alarming in future war
fare
The problem at Manila resembles
that just solved at Santiago except that
the military conditions are more ia
vorable to the Americans. Whatever
may be the Interior designs of the Ger
mans. these are not likely to be fur
thered by incidents like the Irene affair,
which might easily have led to serious
consequences but for Admiral Dewey's
tact and moderation. The hurricane
season in the Philippines is now fast
approaching. and after the experience
at Samoa a reluctance to keep a large
number of vessels confined in the wat
ers of Manila bay may probably be ex-
Dected I"

FLINT GLASS WAGE SCALE.
National Convention Decides That II Must
BE RAISED 20 Per Cent.

GAINESVILLE, o.. July l9.-The National
Flint Glass Workers union is deter
mined that the wage scale of three or
four years ago, which wifi average
about 20 per cent. higher than last
years scale. shall become effective for
the coming season. The national con-
yention went on, record yesterday by in
stiuctinS the conference committee to
present such a scale to the manufact-
uIers. President Smith. who gives out
the news. gives the following reason for
the step taken:
About three years ago the wages of
glass blowers were reduced all along the
lire. Since that time a tariff law has
been passed TO protect manufacturers
and workingmen, and a largely in
creased trade has resulted from the
tax placed on imported goods; hut SO
far the manufacturers have been the
only ones to benefit by it. and the action
of the convention was for the purpose
of partially restoring the former wages

1t was thought by the Danes to be
cowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion they de.
waited from their usual rule. On they
crept, noiselessly and unobserved, in
their bare feet, upon the unsuspecting
Scotchmen. When near the camp, one
Of the Danes trod upon thistle and in
his pain cried out. This aroused the
sleeping Scotchmen, and they gave tho
alarm. The Danes were defeated with
terrible loss of life, and ever since that
time the thistle has been the insignia
of Scotland, with the motto, Memo me
impune lacessis! "-Philadelphia Rec
