the clouds continue to gather
1t adds: "a fresh cause Of alarm
about which much is said, but little Is
known, was added yesterday. It is
rumored that the Bank Of France has
threatened our government, demand
ing that it shall settle the question Of
payment (auxilios) to the railway CT j.
panies within a fixed time. It Is added
that Senior Leon y, Castillo's 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 Capt.
Brownson was at once going to France
and England to examine the ships Of
fered for sale to the United States and
to the knowledge that the republic was
hurryinl forward in all haste its mill
itary preparations. In appearance, the
messages passing between the cabinets
Of Washington and Madrid are very
friendly and calming; but every one
sees that deeds do not correspond with
words. The solution of the problem
lies in the pacificatfon OF Cuba. When
that is accomplished, the clouds that
now arise from thesaUnited States will
disappear of themselves"
The impartial regrets that Spain ap-
plies to external politics the dilatory
tactics she is accustomed to use in
internal affairs. This, to q great eX-
tent, 1t explains, arises from the fact
that. for the greater part Of the CEN
fury, Spain has but little mixed her
self with outside politics, ''for we have
lived like a nation shut UP in it's shell,
stewing its own juice"
Continuing, the Impartial says for
more than two years it has warned
the country that to be feared by the
Cuban insurgents it was necessary to
be respected by the United States; that
to avoid war it was necessary to be
prepared for it. 1t then asserts that,
while the Conservatives were in pow
er, all warning was wasted, and the
Impartial is far from certain that the
Liberals have profited by its advice.

meantime we rest with an easy con-
science"
CarIists' Actions.
Don Jaime de Bourbon, who is at
present ait Cannes, staying at the villa
| Henry ", will shortly receive the
! Spanish Carlist deputies. Afterwards
he will proceed to Spain, where he will
declare himself Chara acto de') pre-
tender.
Commenting on the above telegram
received from Paris through their spe-
cial correspondent, the Heraldo re-
marks that it will say nothing to aug
ment the gravity of this news. It then
says: THE fact that. our correspond
| ent makes no hesitation as to THE &C
| curacy of his Information forces us to
| believe that he considers it the cor
rect reflection of Carlist views, more
| especially If we bear in mind that the
Carlist organ in Madrid, Ell Correo
| Espanol has during the last few days
| accumulated the threats it has been
lavishing for months past.
Nevertheless, it would not be wise
to take for granted that Don Carlos de
| Bourbon has decided to surrender his
pretended claims to his son, Don Jaime
! in whom the Carlist enthusiasts place
| their hopes. Although it is certain that
| many wish again to set civil wal
| ablaze without regard to the agonized
| state of the country, such a criminal
intention will find no echo in the coun-
! try, not even within those circles OF
| tradAtionalism which still follow Don
| Carlos.
I'VE, therefore, hope that fresh news
may correct or clear up that sent by
our correspondent in Paris, which is
| undoubtedly grave, although it may
only refer to plans which may fall
| there"
The Liberal says: "Ministerialists say
| that there is absolutely no ground
whatever for the belief that Don Jaime
| de Bourbon proposes shortly to visi,
| Spain in order to declare himself pre-
| tender. But it is clear that should Don
| Carlos son come to Spain he would dc
| so by hoodWinking the vigilance of the
| authorities, a thing not difficult to per-
| form. II is not in that vigilance the
! government base their denial that Don
Jaime will enter Spain. They have in
formation as to the designs Of the
| VI Lists oh, To c,to
that the Carlist parity has no inten-
ton of committing any act in which
| Don Jaime could take part"
This appears to be confirmed by
other and we'll authorized reports
The Globe, referring to the rumol
that Don Jaime, the restless" son OF
/ Don Carlos, would in short time come
| to Spain to execute a deed which
| should accredit him pretender, his
father res1gning in his favor his rights
| to the crown, says well known Carlists
| deny the accuracy of the report, and
say that they will take no part in the

inside the lawn order to protest

governments during the last few
years" -
