are very much concerned about the pro-
posed visit to the nited States of a Filipino
named Cores, as representative of Fill
ipinO feeling. The So-called Filipino junta
at Hong-Kong has cabed TO the London Of
fee of the Associated Press disavowing Cor
ties and declaring that he represents nobody
but himself. The junta adds: 1.-THE Filipino
government under Aguinaldo now consists
of representatives of all the constituted
provinces. The army, limited only by lack
of arms, numbers over forty thousand men
fully armed, in the Island of Panay, while
the Island of Negros, the richest sugar dis
trict, is under the full control of the Fill
ipinos." The Filipino government, the junta
also adds, appeals for an impartial inquiry
and implores the American people to re-
frain from hasty decision.
The crisis in Spain is followed with the
most keen interest. Don Carlos is undoubt-
edly preparing for bold stroke. His ennis
saries are endeavoring to suborn the Span
ish army, a large portion of it being disaf-
fected, partly on account of the arrears of
pay, but chiefly owing to the condition that
the army was prevented from earning dis
tinction during the late war on account of
the incapacity and corruption of the polit-
ical administrators. These new factors have
given Don Carlos much better chance of
success than he had when he made his for
mer attempts to gain the throne of Spain.
One factor however, influences thinking
Stork for King Log, and that is that Don
Carlos would be bound by his own profess
sions to repudiate the treaty with the United
States, and Spain would thus be in a more
Derilous state than ever She would not
only lose her possessions but would forfeit
the millions proffered by the United States.
The part of the Spanish kingdom which is
causing the most anxiety on account of the
Carlist intrigues are the provinces of Lerida,
Gerone Teruel, CuOnica, Castillon and Va
lencia. The detailed watch in the dlsaffected
districts has hitherto failed to produce any
important discoveries or to check the aglta-
ton. Don Jamie, the son of Don Carlos, is
reported to be moving from place to place
on the French side or the PyreneeS, from
whence he is pulling the Carlist wires:
The Count De Maille, a leading Carlist,
who is now in Paris, is quoted in an inter-
view as expressing himself sanguine OF
| success. He claims that Carlism has made
strong Roadway among the repatrlated SOL
diers, while the people, clergy and some of
the bishops, he alleges, are longing to re-
turn to the old regime The count adds
LAS for the Pope he is always on the side
of the party in power and will send his
blessing to Don Carlos as soon as he sits
on the. throne, General Weyler rs ready 70
Don Carlos his wife (the Princess De Ro-
ham and her family are ready to advance
funds, and the French Legltimists VIII also
aid financially and provide volunteers
According to travellers in Spain, there Is
little or no feeling against Americans
among the Spanish people generally. An
English visitor who has just crossed Spain
writes to the English papers saying:
have not found q trace OF un1fienQIlneSS OF
q word of abuse of Americans. IL any OF
them care to come here (meaning SPAIN
thew will find every one very happy TO see
them. A resident foreigner in Madrid tod

that it would be better to have good gov

The unpleasant news from the Indian
frontier. where the Mad Nullah is again on
the warpath has caused considerable APP
prehension among the Indian authorities,
though the latest advices show that his
victorious march has been partly checked
by the friendly Khan of Robat who, by a
timely move has saved the British lines Of
communication with the garrison at Chitral,
which the Mad Mullah endeavored to cut.
