sagasta Admits That CarIism 10 the
Greatest Existing Danger In Spain.
Madrid, Dec. 1.-Senor Sagasta, who
has hitherto been skeptical on the
point, now admits that Carlism is the
greatest existing danger in Spain.
The authorities are seriously alarmed
at the indication of an imment rising
Lieutenant General Correo, minister
of war, declares the government has
100000 troops in readiness to take the
field in the event of a Carlist rising,
and will soon have 200, 900 available.
He says however, he does not believe
the Carlists intend to move yet.
Rome, Dec. 1.-The Pope has been
much impressed by the alarm express
ed by the papal muncio at Madrid at
the possibility of civil war, that,
with the consent of the queen regent,
and with view of avoiding bloodshed
he has opened negotiations with Don

the procedure that governed in the

COMPULSORY DuRLs.
How the Dignity OF The Cuban Army
WIN BE Maintained.


Havana, Dec. 3.-The executive COM
mittee of the Cuban assembly agreed
at its last session to make 1t compul-
sory on the part of any Cuban officer
insulted by Spanish, American or other
officers, to challenge the person so in
sultlng to fight duel. The measure
has two aims, according to the Cubans,
first "to MAINTAIN the dignity of the
Cuban army" and secondly Ito check
the impudence and insolence of many
so-called Cuban officers, who, without
having ever put their courage to q
test, having enlisted after the armis-
tice, are staggering about with Cuban
uniforms, endeavoring to offend Span
ish officers
1t Is learned on good authority that
the Cubans have recently secretly ac-
quired quite formidable armament,
he ulterior object Of which is not
known 1t is added that they have
purchased over s goo rifles within the
last ten days. The fact is causing con.
siderable speculation here.

VOLUNTEERS TO BE RELEASED.
Regulars From Western Posts WIN 90 to
the Philippines.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Plens are ma
turing for the muster-out of as many
volunteers now in service as is pos
sible. The demand of the enlisted
men to go home and leave the service
is growing greater every day This is
true in nearly every garrison, and the
arrival of senator's ana representatives
with requests for the muster out of
regiments or of men in the regiments
has largely increased during the past
three days.
1t is well known that the volunteers
at Manila desire to come home, and
the war department is considering the
question of sending regular regiments
to replace these volunteers as soon as
arrangements can be made. The
regulars who are available for this
service comprise those regiments on
the western coast who saw service al
Santiago, and there is disposition TO
have them recuperated and recruited
to their full strength before sending
them to Manila.

DON'T WANT TO BE SOLD
There May Yet be Warm Time In the
Philippines with Insurgents.


Manila, Dec 2.-The independent
party of Filipinos is not disposed to
accept the result of the deliberations
of the peace commissioners at Paris,
judging from the tone of the native
press. The Independents publishes
particularly bombastic leading arti-
Gle, to the effect that the Filipinos will
decline to permit their homes to be
bought and sold like merchandise. It
then repeats that the Filipinos are
ready to fight in defense of their
rights, and asserts that the govern
ment and people are unanimous In
claiming nothing less than independ-
ence.
The paper also claims that the Fill
pinos have incontestible claims upon
the island of Luzon, part of the visay-
as islands and the island of Mindanao
by right of conquest. 1t comedies that
the Americans helped the insurgents
'indirectly in blocSading Manila"
but the Independencia claims that even
without help, the revolutionists must
have ultimately won. Finally, the
Independence holds that Spain cannot
cede the Philippine archipelago "be
cause it was never hers"

mtssioners instructions to insist upon
Spain yielding a coaling base in the
Carolines and that the spaniards are
sndeavoring to renew their opposition
to a cession of the Philippines. Both
commissions recognized that the latter
question is settled.
