The Infantn Isabel (elder sister Of In

feels, perhaps, a, little more; like talking
freely here than In; the more constraln-
ing presence OF the regent"
Arthur Lynch, who also has had the

says OF her:
Neither tall nor short. nor stout nor
thin. Queen Maria! Christina looked to
be q woman who had had her full shnre
Of trouble In this world, and had been
obliged to fight for her own hand. That,
indeed, has been her history. A foreign
er In a nation OF people proud by nature
and suspicious by reason Of the events
OF their history, the new queen could
seek In her troubles but little consola-
ton or guidance from her husband, but
she set herself resolutely to the task OF
gaining the respect and confidence OF
the people and the affection Of the bril-
liant but unsteady Alfonso XII. In Ma
drid Itself there is very little real fervor
for royalty, but the irreconcilable Re-
publicans are few. The Opportunists
and the Moderate Republicans are In the
ascendant, but they recognize perhaps
that the best form OF government OF
Spain Is a liberal regime during the MI
nority of a king, and with a queen as
regent who has made herself respected
for her private character and who does
not unduly interfere with matters OF

Americans were no worse sufferers In

them an inviting field by liquidation. AN
additional incentive for London's SELL
