READY FOR THE CARLISTS
Spain Places the Pretenders' Stronghold on
War Footing.
The Whole Spanish Army is Being
Strengthened by Two Companies
to Each Battalion.

LONDON, July 2s.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Biarritz, France, says:
1.-The Basque province, Navarro and the
mountain districts of Aragon and Cata-
ionia. the reported strongholds of Cariism
are now on war footing, and military
occupation of all that country is nearly
complete. In many places the troops are
camping out because the villas ges do not
afford sufficient accommodation.
More troops, including artillery, are be-
ing sent to complete measures for meet
ing the Carlst rising, If attempted. The
whole Spanish army is being strengthened
by two companies for each battalion.
The government believes that the Carl
lists boast of more strength than they
really possess and will attemp. nothing
yet. Still the situation is that the Carlists
are making ready to profit by the first
signs of popular effervescence In an effort
to foment revolution. The government is
now prepared to check them immeda tely"
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Mail reports an interview with one of the
CHEF supporters of Don Carlos whom he
found trimming over with confidence"
He said that Don Carlos would issue a
pronumciamento the moment Spain was
committed to a demand for peace. All the
north OF Spain is eager ana ready, said he.
1--WE lack neither men nor arms. Don
Carlos will be proclaimed in Catalonia and
the Basque provinces without the neces-
sity of striking blow. Then will come
the time for war
THE present dynasty counts for moth
ing, although Marshal Campos and Gen.
Polavieja will carry with them a consider
able part of the army. The only general
on the side of the present government is
Polavieja, but he will be unable to resist
the current of popular opinion. Even the
republicans are our side, for, although
Don Carlos will be king and absolute, he
will give the provinces what ;hey most de-
sire, namely, provincial councils, SO they
will have full liberty to manage their own
affairs, according to their own idiosyncra-
cies.
Don Carlos will suppress corruption and
restore good methods all around. General
Weyer hesitates and moves between Carl
lists and republicans. The republicans, of
course, have an underlying motive. They
believe that amid the general trouble their
own party may have a chance Of coming
to the surface, but the country Is nos pre-
pared for that" Ill

COL. CULVER MISREPRESENTED
His Regiment Called Back in Isc.
spOnse to Indiana influence,

spOnse to Indiana influence.
The War Department officials declare
most positively that Colonel Culver of the
5th Illinois Volunteer Regiment at Chicka-
mauga, is an innocent victim of misrepre-
sentation. 1t is reported from Chickamau-
ga that because this regiment was turned
back from the Porto Rican expedition
many men had deserted, the moraie of the
regiment had been destroyed, and the fail
ure to secure active service had been
charged up to the secret efforts of Colonel
Culver to keep it from going to the front.
1t is said at the department that as a
matter of fact the colonel has done all in
his power to meet the demands of the regi-
ment in that respect, but he has been a
victim of circumstances over which he had
no control. After the 9th Illinois had been
ordered to Porto Rico a delegation of In
diana people waited on the President and
pointed to the fact that, although there
were three Indiana regiments fully equip
ped and ready for service none had been
ordered to the front. Now it happened
that of three Illinois regiments available
two had been sent forward in advance of
the 5th, so the department felt obliged in
order to avoid charge of discrimination,
to substitute one of the Indiana regiments
for this particular Illinois regiment, but
with this order Colonel Culver had abso-
lutely nothing to do, and, in fact, did not
even know that it was in contemplation.

SPANISH OFFICERS LETTERS.
Will he Examined and May BE Sent
as Directed.

A step taken by the Post Office Depart
ment indicates that the Spanish prisoners
at Annapolis possibly may be permitted to
communicate with their friends in Spain.
All letters deposited at Annapolis by the
prisoners are held by the authorities, as
an order of the Postmaster General pro-
hibits all postal communication with Spain.
The letters deposited by prisoners at An
napolis were sent to the dead letter Of
fee. but an inquiry to what was to be
done finally with them was referred to the
Navy Department. The officials of that de-
partment expressed a desire that they
should be submitted in order TO be CEN
sored, and an order has been issued TO the
dead letter Office directing that the letters
be sent to the bureau of navigation for
that purpose. What further action viii be
taken is not yet clear. and no order looking
to the transmittal of the letters to Spain
has yet been Issued.

passed between Great Britain and Spain.

from Madrid, called on Sir Robert Biddulph,

PEACE 0VERFURES BEGAN TUESDAY
HostiIties Continue Until an Arnlis-
tice is Signed.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOM

Sagasta is credited with desire
to protest to the powers against the
American invasion of Porto Rico.
He claims it was begun after Spain
had commenced peace negotiations.
Advices from Madrid state that
Miles force advanced on Yanco and
had an all-night fight with Spanish
troops.

posal will be made tomorrow alter
noon or Saturday.
No overtures in behalf OF Spain
for peace or a cessation of hostilities
were made until the French am
bassador Tuesday afternoon pre-
sented his note to the President All
talk about bad faith by this govern
ment in pressing the Porto Rcan
campaign during the last few days
is without foundation.
In diplomatic quarters it is stated
that the peace propositions took form
in Madrid on last Friday, and that
not until then had the Spanish cab
met itself determined to risk a di-
rect proposition to the United States
for peace.

Although Americas haste to obtain a

from Madrid says it is rumored that the
request of Duke Almodovar de Rio, min

tice lasting until Sunday. 1t cannot be as
cortained whether his action was spon-

Christmas at Chapman's Cove.

The school-house at Chapman's Cove
presented a most festive appearance
last Friday evening, when representa-
tives from all the families in the neigh
borhood gathered to enjoy the Christ
mas tree, Rev. and Mrs. Covington,
aud Miss Ansorge were also present,
to enjoy the good time. The school
room was tasteful1y decorated with
ferns, evergreens, mottos and beau
titul flag. The exercises opened with
singing "Joy to the World" by the en-
tire company. This was followed by a
very interesting and we'll rendered
program, consisting of recitations,
music and a com1ca1 dialogue. The
children did themselves and their
teacher, Miss Callow, great credit, all
of the numbers showed the results Of
careful training. Two selections by
Miss Callow were thoroughly enjoyed
and loudly applauded.
AT the close of the program, Mrs.
NOVluS lOu III lew we'll CuOScu WOIQS
wished Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year to all. Mr.. Covington fol-
lowed with some timely remarks about
the spirit of Christmas time, and the
goodnight song was sung. At this
point, Santa Claus made his appear
ance, to the delight of the little folks.
He passed a generous box of such ap-
piles as can be raised nowhere but on
Puget Sound, and merry social time
was had while the tree was being
stripped of its load. Generous bags
of candy, nuts and oranges were dis
tributed, and there was pleasant sur
prise in the shape of gifts for all,
from Sunday School friends in the
east, which added to the delight of the
young people.
After half hour of Misunderstanding
and expressions of goodwill, the bene-
dic'ion was pronounced. all agreeing
it had been good time. The party
from town were accompanied, on their
return, by Miss Callow, who lett on
Saturday morning, for weeks vaca-
tion with her sister at Port Blakely.

The Eastern Stars Shine.

The Christmas entertainment under
the auspices of the o. E. S. at the
Hall on Monday evening was a decid-
ed success, the program being excep-
tlonally we'll rendered, and the attend
ance large. The songs by the quartette
aud Miss Dora Webb, George Ennmott
and George Webb received repeated
encores, and the farce comedy in ex-
preston, "Come Here" was also very
good. The program closed with a
farce in three acts, entitled, 'sThe
Moon in the Picture,' in which there
was some very fair amateur acting.
All the parts gave evidence of careful
study on the part of the players, and
the farce was followed with interest
throughout. A scene not down on the
program was the flash light by the
photographers Sheane and Lee Scho-
field, which sturtled the audience at a
critical point in. the play. The enter
tainment gave such satisfaction that
the stars announce their intention of
showing at Kami1che and Union CITY
in the near future.
After the program the floor was
cleared for the Stars annual Ball,
and the dancers were soon in the mazes
of the grand march, and figures both
round and square, to the time of the
Schulze orchestra. During the early
part of the evening the floor was un-
comfortably hlled, but later, the
diminishing crowd left those who re-
NAMED room to swing their partners"
to their hearts content. The usual
splendid. supper was served by the
Eastern Star ladies in the Masonic
banquet room at midnight, and three
rounds were required to satisfy the
large attendance. 1t was nearly morn
ing before the dance broke up, and
those who had the matter in charge
left for home, feeling that they had
provided a good entertainment for the
public.
