CARLISM IS THE
GREAT DANGER
An Uprising in Spain May Occur
at Any Moment.
THE ARMY IN PREPAREDNESS
Correa Says He Has 100000 Men to
Take the Field Against the Pre-
tender the Moment His
Flag is Raised.
THE ARMY IN PREPAREDNESS

London, November 30.-The Biarritz cor
respondent of the Daily NAL says:
-"Senor Sagasta, who has hitherto been
skeptical on the point, now admits that
Carlism is the greatest existing danger to
Spain. The authorities are seriously alarm
ed at the indications of an imminent ris-
ing. The Carlst plans~have been elabo-
rately devised, even to the extent of ap-
pointing a governor of Madrid"
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Mail says:
Lieutenant General Correa, minister OF
war, declares that the government has 140,-
600 troops in readiness to take the field in
the event of Carlist rising, and will soon
have 200, 900 available. He says, however
he does not believe that the Carlists intend
to move yet.
"Four hundred guns, which were being
smuggled, have been seized in a Basque viii
lage.
don Carlos, in his forthcoming manifes-
to, will make a strong appeal to the army
The Carlists disagree among themselves as
to the advsability of an immediate move
ment. The military element is impatient,
but the civilians urge the uselessness of an
attempt to rise until the Carists are as
sured of the help of the army"
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Mail says:
1.-The pope has been so much impressed by
the alarm expressed by the papal nunclo
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 Carlos,
proposing that Don Jaime, the pretender S
son, should marry Princess Mary of AS
turias.'

spanish Lack of skilI

London, December 1.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Standard. whose dispatch
is dated Tuesday. and is forwarded from
the frontier, says:
1.-THE opposition papers accuse the gov
ernment and the Spanish peace commits
sioners of lack of skill and energy in pro-
tecting Spanish interests. They demand
the Immediate convocation of the cortes
and the resumption of the constitutional
guarantees. SO that public opinion can de-
clare for a new and competent ministry to
undertake the re organization of the coun-
try and its finances"

Havana, Via Key West, November 3d.
The circumstances of Marshal B.anco's de-

upon the apparently extraordinary OPEN
ness with which every detail of effort or
suggestion ON the part of the army has
been published. The unwisdom of such pro-
cedure Is too manifest for discussion"
The Navy Wanted to Cooperate
After referring t. the existence of what
he terms an indefinite truce at that time,
Sampson quotes a message from Shafter,
dated July 10, asking him to begin firing
upon the city according to q programme,
but to be careful to put his shots well to
the westward near the bay to avoid dis
astrous moral effect upon his soldiers, and
the admiral says that reports from army
headquarters show that shells were fired
with great effect, starting several fires in
the city and only few falling in the
water. He quotes dispatch from Shafter
to this effect. He also quotes a dispatch
from Secretary Long, saying that the sec
retary of war desired Sampson to force the
harbor; that he wished to do all that was
reasonable to bring about the surrender
and then leaves the matter to SIMPSONS
discretion, Except that the United States
armored vessels must not be risked." The
admiral says:
II take this to be a continuation of the
preceding matter to which have referred.
1 think that the falsity of the suggestion
that the navy was unwilling to cooperate
In forcing an entrance to Santiago is al
ready sufficiently shown, particularly by
tae minutes of the arrangement shown in
paragraph 8. 1 would, however, add, to
show the great will of the navy and my
desire and understanding, that in case the
enemy failed to come to terms through
bombardment the harbor entrance should
be forced; that in the meanwhile all prep
arations were completed for countermining,
the mines having been removed for the
purpose from the Resolute to the collier
Lebanon and everything arranged for ac-
tion. The only reason for postponement
came from the general commanding the
army.
Placed in False Position
1.-THE navy has been placed in such an
inyidious and false position before the
country through the very unwise publica-
ton of Gen. Shafter's telegram that l
think this matter should in some way be
made clear to the public.
In report dated August / from Samp-
son to the secretary of the navy Sampson
goes over again all the circumstances con-
nected with the Joint operations before
Santiago in order, as he says, that more
complete history of the action of the fleet
IN combination with the army may be at
the disposal of the department. Some of
the additions follow:
when Shafter signalled that Miles and
himself were to have a conference looking
TO the surrender of Santiago, Sampson sent
message to Shafter saying he desired to

Case of the Philippines

I'm the case of the Philippines we have
admitted that so far as the debts of these
islands appreciate expenditures for the i'm
provement of the country they must run
with the land and constitute a charge upon
us. Upon what grounds we have objected
the application of that elementary prin-
ciple of law and common honesty to the
case of Cuba? The pretense that it can
not be there applied because we do not IN
tend to accept sovereignty over Cuba will
not avail, for as soon as Cuba is evacuated
by the Spanish troops the United States
will exercise a qualified sovereignty over
the island and bring military government
there, and rigidly enforcing all laws for
the purpose of collecting revenue, both ex-
ternal and internal, a condition which must
exist until congress orders otherwise. In
the case of Cuba, as well as In that of the
Philippines, the amount of pacific enpendi-
lures made by Spain for the permanent
Improvement of the island should have
been recognized as legal charge upon it,

HAND OF CoNQyEROR APPARENT
Under the Guise of Humanity the War
Was Undertaken, But the HypN
critical Mask Has Now
Been Thrown Aside.

New York, November 30.-Tiannis Taylor,
late American minister to Spain, publishes
in the December number of the North
American Review a scathing criticism Of
the work of the American peace commits
sicp. Mr.. Taylor contends that in the ne
gotiations with Spain respecting Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines, the men,
bers of the commission should have been
guided by the precedent established by this
country in it's dealings with Mexico after
the victorious issue Of the Mexican war.
Then, he says, we refused as Mexico lay
helpless at our feet to take from her
single square mile OF territory by right Of
conquest. Our commissioners were in
structed to offer her S15,OOO,OOO in cash and
the assumption upon our part of more than
S3,G00,000 due from her to American citizens
compensation for the area out of which
have been carved California, Nevada, Ari-
zoha, Utah and New Mexico.
Principle of Moral Law
"By this" says Mr.. Taylor, was estab-
lished a new principle of moral law which
stands alone, perhaps, in the annals of ma
tions"
Mr.. Taylor contends that now, when for
the first time since the conquest of Mexico,
we have another vanqushed nation at our
feet, we owe to Spain all the consideration
and justice that can be due to the weak
from the strong, especially as Spain is an
old and good friend, with whom we had
never before broken off diplomatic rela-
tions
The arrangement which has been con-
cluded by the American commission, Mr..
Taylor characterizes as vast ravish-
ment."
I'VE have refused arbitration. We have
summarily demanded the surrender of the
entire Philippine archipelago, and as a
save TO Spain we have rendered 500 1000 900.
.'ss.ie war has cost us directly about $685.
900 900, and as compensation for that outlay
we have appropriated Porto Rico, which
can hardly be valued at much less than
double that amount. 1t was difficult to
understand, therefore, why in dealing with
Cuba and the Philippines, we should have
been unwilling to recognize these season.
