DON CARLOS rs BELLIGERENT
Tells How He Would Have Carried
On His Campaign.

Brussels, April %. - The New York
World correspondent called on Don Carlos
at his hotel and obtained the following
declaration from him:
IF the Carlists had been in power in
Spain, war would have been inevitable
two years ago. But Spain has erred on
the side of generosity and chivalry, and
thus gone lengths hardly compatible with
national honor. The United States has
taken advantage of this attitude and has
utilized the interval by strengthening her
fleet. But we Spaniards are tough fight
ers and enter the contest fearless of con
sequences. We thank the holy father for
his kind offices, but the time has passed
for intervention and the final catastrophe
is now inevitable"
The World correspondent had expressly
asked for the reply to the question wheth-
err Don Carlos would, under all circum-
stances through his sympathizers with
Spain, support the present government
against America, but on that crucial point
he preserved a significant silence.
The pretender's sudden removal from
Ostend to Brussels has excited much COM
ment. His intention is believed to have
been to 90 on a visit to Earl Ashburnham,
his chief supporter in England, but owing
TO popular Indignation against Spain he
was advised that such a visit would be
impolitic. He therefore went to Brussels
instead

states quota under the first call, and
these will be sent. Governor Steunen-
berg has received many applications for
commissions to organize companies, and
many offers to enlist as privates. In the
very nature of things the guard must
be given the first chance, and, besides,
the first call issued by the president, as
now understood, will be for the state
militia The men who have so patriotic
ally offered to volunteer their services
will be obliged to wait until the way
opens for putting additional troops IN
the field.
c. H. Bradley, the prominent Duluth
lumberman, has gone on to the coast after
quite careful inspection of the white
pine belt The inspection, owing to the
season of the year, was not complete,
though he went in as far as Collins
coming out by the way of Juliaetta and
Lewiston. The special object of his trip
was to ascertain the different routes by
which the timber can be taken out when
cut. Much must be brought out by rail,
if at all. and a considerable amount must
be brought down the Clearwater. To ac-
complish either project large capital is
needed. A railroad would cost S3OO,OOO,
while mill of the size required to cut
the timber would cost $3.50, 900 more. MIR.
Bradley estimates that it will cost $780,
600 to dam and boom the Clearwater.
This investment would be valueless after
the timber is exhausted. These figures
show the importance and magnitude of
the undertaking. 1t is understood that
determined effort will be made to induce
the state land board to put 10000 acres
or more of the timber on the market at
once. The standing timber alone is to
be sold, the land remaining state prop
erty.

NEUTRALITY PROCLAMATION.
Great Britain's Formal Notice to the
World.

London, April 26.-An extraordinary IS
sue of the London Gazette this morning
contained the customary royal proclama-
ton of neutrality, defining the attitude
of British officials and British subjects
during the war between Spain and the
United States. 1t is identical with the
proclamation issued at the time of the
China-Japan war. The instructions of the
foreign office to the admiralty and the col
onial authorities, regulating the belliger-
enta' use of British ports is dated April
%, and gives the belligerents "A hours to
leave.
This accounts for the departure of the
United States squadron from Hong Kong
and the orders given to the Spanish tor
pedo boat Audaz to leave Queenstown
The proclamation fills four pages Of the
Gazette
Leave Cape De Verde.
Washington, April 26.-It was stated in
high diplomatic quarters today that no
further doubt existed as to the attitude
of Portugal in maintaining neutrality.
This is regarded as specially important at
this time, owing to the fact that the
Cape Verde islands, the Azores and the
AIaderas belong to Portugal All of these
groups have fine harbors and coaling facl-
tiles, and are so located as to be of vital
service to the Spanish navy i'll case their
use were not barred by Portugal's neutral
ity. The neutrality of Portugal will pre-
vent longer use of these islands as "A
base of operations for the Spanish ships,
or even a stopping place for them. They
will be forced to 90 to one of their own
ports, the Canaries, probably, now the
most advantageous point, now that Cape
Verde and other Portuguese islands are
closed against them.
1t is held among leading diplomats that
no question can be raised as to the status
of Senior Polo at Toronto He is said to
be a private citizen, having the rights
of domicile in neutral country.
