Hendaye, France, May 7.-Advices
which have just reached here from
Madrid by mail in order to escape the
Spanish censor, say the general opin.
ion in Madrid is that military dictator
ship is coming, in order to contend
against the spreading disturbances
arising from hunger, the defeat OF the
Spanish fleet at Manila and the politi-
cal plots of various descriptions.
It is added that Marshal Martinez de
Campos, the former captain general of
Cuba, probably will be the head of the
dictatorship, and that he will be sup
ported by a cabinet composed in the
main of military men, as the last chance
of saving the dynasty.
Madrid May 7.-Serious trouble is ap-
pretended here and much excitement
prevails throughout the capital. The
students of the university are assemb-
ling there and it is supposed they intend
to promote a riot. strong force OF
police has been detailed to prevent the
general public from reaching the uni
versity and joining the students, which
is believed to be the plan of the leaders
of the proposed demonstration
There has been fresh rioting at Gu
dad Real capital of the province OF
that name and martial law has been
proclaimed there.
AS for Gen. Weyler, who has been
tary dictator, it is said his ambitions
will be quieted by the offer of an i'm
portant command in the peninsula. At
the same time it is pointed out that
WeyIer's acceptance of a subordinate

lowers, throughout the United States
and South America to join him at once
Some will leave here on steamships

country.
Rafael Diaz de Cortina, the official
representative of Carlos in America,
yesterday received his instructions TO
join Don Carlos and will leave for Eur
ope during the coming week. Accord
ing to SenOr Cortina, the general fer
met in Spain today is the beginning Ct
the end of the political dynasty. The
emissaries of Don Carlos, throughout
Spain have reported that an over
whelming majority of the people are
ready to flock to his standard, the in
stant it is raised. Gen. Weyier and the
army are only waiting to receive the
word to openly declare their allegiance
to him, the majority of the naval offi-
GERS, including all of the Is adInirals
are already pledged to him.
In reply 10 a question as 10 the ~
tention of Don Carlos regarding the
Spanish-American war Senior Cortina
replied: Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof He certainly win not act
until he had seen and consulted with
the American CarlistS. We will join
our leader some place in the continent
of Europe-eXactly where L do not
know. A provisional government viii
be formed to go into effect the instant
the queen regent abdicates, or when
Don Carlos proclaims himself. There
will be opposition from any other
nation. The new government will be
formed on much more Democratic lines.
I speak authoritatively when I say
that Don Carlos intends to make a rad
ica1 change in the present system Of
government"
