some truth in all this. but we imagine
the drop on Monday arose from the re-
port that Captain Brownson was at
once going to France and England to
examine the ships offered for sale TO the
United States and to the knowledge
that the republic was hurrying forward
in all haste its military preparations. In
appearance. the messages passing be-
tween the cabinets of Washington and
Madrid are very friendly and calming;
but every one sees that deeds do not
correspond with words. The solution OF
the problem lies In the pacification OF
Cuba. When that Is accomplished all
the clouds that now arise from the
United States will disappear Of them
selves"
The Imparcial regrets that Spain ap-
plies to external politics the dilatory
tactics she is accustomed to use in in
ternal affairs. This. to a great extent"
IL explains, "arises from the fact that
the greater part OF the century Spain
has but little mixed herself with outside
politics. for we have lived like a nation
shut up in its shell. stewing in It's juice
Continuing. the Imparcial says that
for more than two years IL has warned
the country that to be feared by the
Cuban insurgents. IL was necessary to
be respected by the United States;
that to avoid war IL was necessary to be
prepared for IL. 1t then asserts that
while the conservatives were in power

time we rest with an easy conscience.
Don Jaime de Bourbon. who is at
present at Cannes, staying at the villa
Henry ". will shortly receive the
Spanish Carlist deputies. Afterwards
he will proceed to Spain. where he VIII
declare himself pretender.
Commenting on the telegram received
from Paris through their special cor
respondent. the Heraldo remarks that
IL will say nothing to augment the
gravity of the situation. 1t says:
THE fact that our correspondent
makes no hesitation as to the accuracy
OF his information forces us to believe
that he considers n crisis approaching.
The Carlist organ In Madrid. FL Correo
Espanolo. has. during the past few
days. accentuated the threats 1t has
been lavishing for months past. Never
theless IL would not be wise to take for
granted that Don Carlos has decided
10 surrender his claims to his son. Don
Jaime. in whom the Carlist enthusiasts
place their hopes. Although IL is cer-
tain that many wish again to set civil
war ablaze without regard to the an
tagonized state of affairs. such a crimi-
nal intention will find no echo In the
country not within those circles of ira
dition which still follow Don Carlos.
I'VE therefore. hope that fresh news
may correct or clear up that sent by
our correspondent in Paris which Is un-
doubtedly grave, although II may only
refer to plans which may fall through. y
The Liberal says: "Ministerialists
say there Is absolutely no ground
whatever for the belief that Don Jaime
proposes shortly to visit Spain in order
to declare himself pretender But II is
clear that should Don Carlos son come
to Spain he would do so by hoodwink-
ing the vigilance of the authorities. a
thing not difficult to do. II is not In
that vigilance the government base
their denial that Don Jaime will enter
Spain. They have information as 10
the designs of the Carlists which en-
ables them to state that the Carlist
party has no intention of committing
any act in which Don Jaime could take
part"
This appears to be confirmed by other
and well-authorized reports.
The Globo. referring to the rumoi
that Don Jaime. the RESTLESS" son OF
Don Carlos, would. in a short time,
come to Spain to execute a deed which
should accredit him pretender. his
father resigning in his favor his rights
TO the crown. says well-known Carlists
deny the accuracy OF the reports and
say that they will take no part in the
elections. which means they will live
inside the law. In order to protest
against the policy pursued by the ma
tionalist government during the las,
few days.
The Pals trevolution) heads an arti-
Gle king Jaime" in which IL banters
the Heraldo on its telegram bidding II
to rejoice rather than to be sad since
eft by the charge for the stamp on
the deed of pretender." which Dor
Jaime is coming to Spain to execute.
The Correo publishes a manifesto to
the Carlists urging them to do all In
their power at the approaching eiec-
tions to return Carlist candidates. the
only party which has clean hands in
the disgraceful humiliations To Spain
