New York, May 10.-Senor De La Costina,
American representative of Don Carlos, left
New York last night to join his leader In
Europe. Before going. Senor Costina said
that his departure was due to a summons
from Don Carlos. and that all the other
American Carlists had already left or were
about to leave. to assist Don Carlos in his
next effort to regain his throne.
Senior Costina, according to the CONNER
cial Advertiser, said that. judging from the
events of the past few days. Don Carlos
would probably be established before he
(Senor Costina) arrived in Europe. but that,
IN any event, the presence Of the American
Carlists was desired at this moment.
with our knowledge of the United
States and the American people, we will
be able to advise Don Carlos as to the
expediency and the best method of carry
ing on the present war.
1T is possible. certainly" ! shfd selor
Costina. that some way may he found
to settle the difficulty when Don Carlos is
king; the American CarIists will endeavor
to bring this about. Should Don Carlos,
however, consider that the honor of Spain
or the interests OF the Spanish people would
be compromised by peace. he win GER
tainly carry the war on to the end. He
will be in a better position to wage war
than the present government is. Besides
his own immense fortune, which amounts
to about $50 OO0. 600, he inherited a large
fortune from his first wire, and his present
wife, too. is very rich. Besides this, he
can command the entire fortune of every
Carlist in Spain, France or anywhere else.
: Don Carlos is already forming his min
istry. and, although the list is not yet COM
pleted. can safely. say that ar least three
OF the ministers have been decided on. The
Marquis Of Cerralba is to be president of
the council; General weyler commander
in-chief of the army. and Don Juan vez-
ques de Meila. who was recently expelled
from the cortes. will occupy q high posi-
tion. probably that of secretary of state"

lists are preparing to take advantage Of
any opportunity presenting itself to make
mischief. Happily, the activity OF. this
hybrid group, which includes several non
descript and INSCRIPTIONS politicians and
scme Romeroists, presents no immediate
danger. Inside the chamber they cnly
number about thirty deputies. and. out
side. they have no efficient organization,
except the cariists. who do not desire at
present any insurrectionary movement, but
only want to discredit the monarchy. hop
ing that an anarchic republic would pave
the way to a legitimist restoration In IA

Meanwhile, they are careful to avoid

national calamities for their own ends
Spain has not forgotten the terrible suffer-
ings OF the last Carlist war. and does not

same kind" ---~
Madrid, May 10.-The chamber Qower
house, had a prolonged sitting this even
1ng. with view of passing the current /.
political measures giving the government
authority to procure funds to continue the
war.
Senior Salmeron. the Republican leader,
alluded to the rumors of the queen regents
abdication. and declared that the Repub-
licans were ready to form a government
forthwith. = -
His remarks evoked 4 storm Of protests,
and Senior Salmeron was unable to pro-
ceed for fully ten minutes. Monarchists
and Republicans shrieked at each other
and banded threats. =, .4si
The presidents voice was completely
drowned.
When he finally obtained hearing the
Marquis Vega de Armi3o, re-
quested Senior Salmeron to Withdraw the
Caiutuily. oenOr SalmerOn refused, where.
upon the president named him and threat
ened to name him thrice II he continued his
attacks upon the throne. As a result of
this caution. and of the persistent monar-
chist interruptions. Senior Salmeron was
compelled to desist.
Senor Sagasta. the premier. then rose and
declared that anyone trying to sow dis
sension among Spaniards when the nation
was engaged in an international struggle
was unworthy OF the name of spaniard.
senor Salmeron shouted: 'I am a GOOD
Spaniard.''
This exclamation was greeted with mon
arohist shouts Of mo. no; out with him."
senor Sagasta appealed to the patriotism
of members and prayed the house to vote
the funds so necessary to conduct the |
war" His appeal was greeted with the
general cry I'VE will vote Immediately"
: Senor SiIvela, leader of the dissident
Conservatives. said his party would ab-
stain from further discussion. and was
