LONDON, Nov. 1o.-The Madrid correspond
ent of the Standard says that the state OF the
army II causing anxiety in political and official
circles because is an open secret that officers OF
all ranks and the men returning from Cuba
and the Philippines arc very discontented.
This discomfort Is due not only to the fact that
their pay is in arrears, but also to their pro-
found modification and displeasure at the con-
duct of the Government
The troops who are returning from the lost
colonies. like the army at home. reproach the
Government for having so badly conducted
its colonial and foreign policies and SO unskil-
fully managed its fleets and naval resources
that the land forces in Cuba and the Philip
pines and even in Porto Rico never had the
much-desired opportunity Of coping with
the Americans. which the officers and
men believe might have turned the tide
of events. The officers say that Gen.
Weyler is certainly the most powerful and pop
ular officer in the army. but lately he has been
avoiding political intrigues and is disposed to
assist Sagasta and the Queen Regent
The Carsts are trying to tamper with the
loyalty OF the army. They announce the i'm
pending publication OF q proclamation In be-
half of Don Carlos. chiefly addressed to the
army. declaring that he no longer considers
himself bound to show consideration to the
present dynasty or a government which has
brought about loss OF territory and honor.
Agents OF the Pretender quite openly threaten
to disturb the peace.
The newspapers OF Madrid denounce the
threatened movement and sarcasticay urge
the Government not to allow itself to be sur
prised by Carlist rsings. as. in Sagasta's words.
1t was by the Cuban and Philippine rebellions.

The ladies' taiors in the meantime have

Capt. McBride's Race Was Fairly Begun.
TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 19.-The British ship
Atlanta, Capt Mcbride. has been wrecked at
Alsea Bay. sixteen miles south of Newport, on
the Oregon coast Reports received tonight
state that Of thirty men aboard her only two
were saved. The vessel is a total wreck. her
back being broken. Lfe-savinG crews have
gone to Alsea Bay from Newport, but it Is not
believed that any more of the crew can be-
saved.
The Atlanta sailed from Tacoma on last Sat
nrday laden wits g2.0 .00G bushels OF wheat for
Cape Town. Africa. She was an iron ship of
1.SO0 tons register The names of her entire
crew are not obtainable. not having been filed
with either the British Consul or the United
States Shipping Commissioner. Those who
joined the ship in Tacoma and signed before
British Consul Alexander were: D. f. Green

in Benton county on an indentation in the long
even coast line OF Oregon. The place ls a dan
gerous one at best. safe anchorage being al
most impossible to obtain. and many good yes-
sells have gone to pieces on that coast The wreck
occurred between Newport and Alsea Bay
This is about 100 miles north OF Coos Bay and
In all this hundred miles there Is not spot
where ship can safely land The general
opinion among shipping non Is that Capt. Me-
Bride was caught In a heavy northwest gale
after being towed outside of Cape Flattery
The weather came thick and the ship got
into the southerly set OF Japan currents run
ming down the coast This. together with his
lee drift, brought Mcbride into the breakers

drifted ashore. This theory is very plausible
from the fact that the Atlanta was obliged 10
take anchorage In Clallam Bay. in the Straits
oil fuca. while en- route from Tacoma to the
ocean, because Of heavy gale and nasty sea
outside OF Cape Flattery. She was wind bound
there ten hours and theniproceeded to sea.
Capt Charles Mcbride. or Prince Charley"
as he was best known. was special favorite
among British and American shipmasterl in
this port He was racing the Atlanta to Capo
Town with the British ships Earl of DalhousIe
and lmberhorne, which sailed 4 week pre-
yious. The sailing OF these vessels SO nearly
together led their Captains to make
a. friendly wager regarding their speed
The wager was champagne dinner at Cape
Town to be given by the commander of the
ship making the slowest voyage. Capt. Me-
Bride confidently expected to win this wager
as crack clipper and breaker Of passage
records. For many years she sailed between
London and India.

An important meeting OF the American Com
missioners was held to-day at their headquar-
ters at the Salon Trocha at La Vedado They
discussed the Spanish note about the civil ad-
ministratlon and sent a long cipher despatch
to Washington.
Cable advices received from New York this
morning were to the effect that Special Com
missioner Robert P. Porter had reported to
President Mckinley in favor OF the bank
notes issued here by Gen. Weyler. The
face value OF the entire issue is several
million dollars. but they are now at a
discount OF 90 per cent. The news Of Mr..
Porter's report advanced their value ten
points, and there was heavy speculation in them
at heStock Exchange. Tonight despatch
was received from Mr.. Porter himself denying
that he had made any such recommendation.
It was then discovered that the report that the
United States would recognize the notes was a
speculative Job" The notes dropped back to
their former deprecated value.

The mysterious motor was first exploited in
