A FRESH CAUSE FOR ALARM.
The Liberal is of the opinion that the
''clouds continue to gather" 1t adds: "A
fresh cause of alarm about which much is
said but little is known was added yester-
day. 1t is rumored that the Bank of
France has threatened our government, de-
manding that it shall settle the question Of
payment (auxilios) to the railway compa-
MES within a fixed time. 1t is added that
Senior Leon Y Castillos visit to Madrid is
connected with this matter. There may be
some truth in all this, but we imagine the
drop on Monday arose from the report that
Captain Brownson was at once going to
France and England to examine ships Of
feved for sale to the United States, and to
the knowledge that the republic was hur-
rying forward in all haste it's military prep
erations In appearance the messages pass
ing between the Cabinets of Washington
and Madrid are very friendly and calming
but every one sees that deeds do not corre-
spond with words. The solution of the
problem lies in the pacifcation of Cuba

that now arise from the United states VIII

The impartial regrets that Spain applleSa
to external politics the dilatory tactics she

This. to a great extent, 1T explains, arises

THE STORY DISCREDITED
The Liberal says: "Ministerialists say
that there is absolutely no ground whatever
for the belief that Don Jaime de Bourbon
proposes shortly to visit Spain in order to
declare himself pretender. But it is clear
( that should Don Carlcs's son come to Spain
he would do so by hoodwinking the vigi-
lance of the authorities, thing not diff
cult to perform. 1t is not in that vigilance
the government base their denial that Don
Jaime will enter Spain. They have informa-
ton as to the designs of the Carlists which
enables them to state that the Carlist party
has no intention of committing any act in
which Don Jaime could take part" This
