CARLIST SUMMONS.
Followers of the Spanish Pre-
tender Invited to Flock
to His Standard.

NEW YORK, May Z, 1S9S.-The Com
mercial Advertiser" today publishes the
following
"A manifesto has been issued by Don
Carlos, calling upon his loyal followers
throughout the United States and South
America to join him at once. Some will
leave here on steamships sailing today;
Others have left already, and still more
will leave as soon as they can settle up
their affairs in this country.
Rafael Diez de la Cortina, the official
representative of Don Carlos in America,
Don Carlos, and will leave for Europe dur
ing the coming week. According to Sem
or Contina, the general ferment in Spain
today is the beginning of the end of the
present dynasty The emissaries of Don
Carlos throughout Spain have reported
that an Overwhelming majority of the
people are ready to flock to his standard
the instant it is raised. General Weyler
and the army are only waiting to receive
the word to openly declare their alle-
glance to him, the majority of the naval
officers, including all of the Is admirals,
are already pledged to him.
In reply to a question, as to the intention
of Don Carlos regarding the Spanish
American war, Senior Cortina replied:-
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof He certainly will not act until
he has seen and consulted with the Ameri-
can Carlists. We will join our leader
some place on the continent of Europe
exactly where I do not know. A pro-
visional government will be formed, to go
into effect the instant the Queen Regent
abdicates or when Don Carlos proclaims
himself. There will be no opposition
from any other nation. The new gov
ernlnent will be formed on much more
democratic lines. | speak authoritative

make radical change in the present sys-
tenn of government.

1t was gratifying to see the worthy
retiring president of the produce ex-
change, Mr.. Oscar Pear5all, enforcing
so pointedly the great necessity OF a
thorough sewage system for Will
mington. 1t is most timely said, and
1t is to be hoped that the Intelligent
people of the city will not remain in
different to the positive necessity OF
such an improvement. The health, the
very lives of many certainly depend
upon a general sewage constructed
by a thoroughly competent engineer.
Enough money has already been ex-
pended here in the construction Of par
tial sewage for individuals, causing the
streets to be constantly defaced by
digging them up, to nave constructed at
least one-half OF an entire system
rarnif ying the whole city and reaching

Surgeon General Wyman, OF the ma
rine hospital service. refers AZ follows
to the unsanitary condition OF Havana:
1.-The harbor of havana is a cess
pool, which for years has received the
drainage OF the city; besides, 1t Is a
verftable cul-de-sac, which cannot DE
secured by the tides or by fresh water
streams. The wharves on the Havana
sid OF the harbor are notorious as
sources OF infection. An examination
OF the records of the quarantine sta
tions on the South Atlantic and Gulf
coasts for 1894 shows eleven cases OF
yellow fever, all having been taken
from vessels arriving at the Dry Tor
tugas station from the wharves in Ha-
vana- Two Of these wharves, the Tai
lapiedra and the San lose. are espe-
cially dangerous. Under the ITALIA
piedra empties the sewer from the MIL
itary hospital, where the yellow fever
patients from the army are treated. 1t
has been said thai no vessel with a
non-immurle crew on board has ever
been tied to this wharf without yellow
fever appearing among them. 50 well

American captains nave frequently as
serted that the United States govern

this wharf"
Sanitary engineers have repeatedly
shown that these conditions are who'll

kind is practicable seems to have been

Uncle Sam I'm War

Speaking OF war prompts the refiec-
ton that Uncle Sam has been uni
formly successful every tim he has
appealed ito the sword.
In the 123 years Of his existence he
has waged five wars-the war OF the
revolution, the war of 1872, the war
with the Barbary states, the Mexican
wal and the war for the union The
various brushes he has had with the
Indians were mere incidents. In every
one of these wars the stars and stripes
have been triumphant. In the war with
the Barbary states Uncle Sam was a
long way OFF from his baSe OF supplies,
and the Rarbary states were hacked by
the moral support of Great Britain, and
yet Uncle Sam cleaned UP those pirates
so thoroughly that the Mediterranean
sea became as free from their attacks
as is one OF the American inland seas.
The war of the revolution ard the war
OF 1872 were fought against tremendous
odds, and yet the United States won.

ming of the United States independ-

the war Of 1872, were lost by her.

LITERARY GOSSIP

Dean Farrar said a good thing as to
reading. He saBd-'fNever be tempted
by curiosity to read what you know to
be a bad book Excellent advice. The
New York Times's Saturday Review"
says: Don't SOW wild oats in lftera-
ture." This ought to have a wide
sweep, and taken in all writer's as well
wise saw-'When a NEW book comes
out read AN old one"-and YOU have
| three aphorisms full OF sense and So
Tbriety of Judgment.
Saturday Review" incidentally gives
! a correct deliverence as to James, the
| novelist, in writing of Henry B. Fuller.
1t says:
English is an instrument Henry
James can play on. No matter how
acuou the theme, verbal dexterity
does his business. Mr.. Henry b. Full
| Ter has a touch just as delicate, butt his
lingual sonata-that is, when he wants
to introduce one-belongs to a higher
school Of melody. The grace note never
is wanting, and so we are inclined to
give Mr.. Fuller nothing less than that
of mastery in the writing Of English"
1t is pleasant to us to learn from
English sources that the novels of the
italian, D'AnnunziO, met with butt
little favor in England. They are very
immoral, and hence are rejected by the
best and samest critical journals with
no little OF contempt.
