Serrano held the executive power
at Madrid until January 8, 1875, when
Alfonso, one of lsabella's many cir

King by the Armies of the Centre
and North.
March 1, 1876, Don Carlos fled to
France, and the kingdom, torn by 10
years of civil wars within civil wars,
had peace for few weeks, until the
Basque provinces reyolted in April
In 1888 there was a revolt in the
army spreading from Barcelona to
Cartagena.
In 1884 military conspiracy" was
discovered in the army and stamped
out, and half dozen Republican ris-
ings came to nothing.
In 1885 there were serious riots in
Madrid, widespread conspira cies by
Republicans were stamped out

started at Cartagena and the King
died, Spain was on the verge of
revolution"
September 10, 1886, military revo-

in Madrid and instructions in other
places. Many skirmishes were fought
and the kingdom placed under mill

During the next four years peace
fell upon the land, broken only by
constant labor riots and the shooting
of strikers.
In 1891 an attempt at military revo-
luton at Barcelona came to grief. At
CadizandBilboa bombs were exploded
but the people refused to come out"
The year 1892 was distinguished by
fierce rioting and fighting at Bilboa,
Barcelona, Madrid, Grenada, Valencia,
Corunna and other cities.
Troops were ordered to the BASQUE
provinces in1S93to prevent revolution,
and since then there has been no DO
litical rising in Spain. That has been
left for her colonies.

Report of the McCabe School.

The following report of McCabe
school has been sent in for publica-
ton in these columns:
No. of pupils enrolled first term, 81;
No. enrolled second term, 45; average
for first term, 81; second term, %.
During the first term nine pupils did
not absent themselves from school a
single day. Ida Riley, Nellie Herring,
Milton Herring and Willie Herring
did not miss day during the scholas-
tic year.
During the year the young minds
of this school have labored with re-
warded efforts; no where in the coun-
tv will be found brighter minds, en-
couraged by enthusiastic parents than
the McCabe school.
1t is my earnest desire that the
pupils of this school will labor on with
untiring zeal so that when they leave
their parental homes to enter the
duties of life they may be able to
meet and overcome anything which
may fall in their future pathway.
| heartily thank the patrons of the
school for the interest manifested as
well as their hospitality during my
stay in their community.

Sixty Years in Spain.

Queen Isabella, a child years old,
succeeded to the Spanish throne in
1888, her father ferdinand VII hav-
ing abolished the Salic law Her
fathers brother, Don Carlos, the
next male heir, protested and organ
lied the first Carlist rebellion" This
civil war, stubbOrnly and ferociously
fought, lasted until 1899, when the
Basque provinces surrendered and
Charles VI. abdicated in favor of his
son, Don Carlos,
In 1910 the Regent Queen, Chris
tina, was driven from the country by
a military revolution, and General
Espartero, who had beaten Don
Carlos, became regent.
In 1913 another revolution drove
EsparterO out and brought Queen
Christina back. Isabella was declar-
ed "of age" and married to her cous-
in Francis d'Assis, and her sister
Maria to Montpensier, heir to the
French throne.
In 1854 a military instruction I'M
der General O'Donnell forced the
restoration of the Constitution of
1887.
In 1856 Madrid revolted and the
kingdom was declared in a state of
seige.
III 1860 the second Carlist war broke
out in favor OF Don Carlos II. 1t was
suppressed, and the CLAIMANT died,
being succeeded by his brother Den
Juan.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April Is, 1898.
President Mckinley did no fretting
because Congress took whole week
to act upon his message on armed in
tervention in Cuba, while the general
expectation was that the business
would be done in two days at the out
side; he knows what responsibility is.
That the delay has been beneficial to
this government may be seen from
the following language, used by
member of the Cabinet to an impa-
tient friend who was repeating the
argument used on all sides against
the apparent hardness both of Con-
gress and the President: Nobody
has the remotest idea how unprepar-
ed we were when Congress made the
appropriation of $50, 100000 AS a
matter of fact, there were not five
rounds of ammunition in fortified
place in the country, and the ships
did not have ammunition enough to
fight anything. We were simply
ready in an amateurish manner. The
President was shocked when he learn
ed the full facts. A knowledge of
these facts had as much to do with
making him cautious as desire to
avoid war. Had this country been
forced into war three weeks ago, we
might have gotten the worst of things
for awhile. think we are now about
ready and can give an account of
ourselves" These words should be
considered by the hair-trigger indi-
viduals who blame the Presinent for
not rushing into war weeks ago.
Just when hostilities will begin is
still matter of some doubt, although
it must necessarily be soon. The
House is to-day considering the inter
vention resolution adopted by the
Senate, which recognizes the indepen-
dence of the present government of
Cuba and otherwise differs from that
adopted by the House. 1t is expect
ed that an agreement will be reached
sometime to-day, or tomorrow at the
outside and the resolution be sent to
the President, although there is
some talk of the possibility of dead
lock between the House and Senate.
Nothing official has been said about
the programme that will be followed
after the resolution reaches the Presi-
dent, but the statement is made up
on good authority that the President
will make demand upon Spain to
evacuate Cuba and will grant one or
two days for the answer. This will
be largely for form sake, as it is al
ready practically certain that Spain
will refuse; and will probably accom-
pany the refusal with a message of
defiance. Then the naval forces of
the countryE:will be put in motion

ONE of the war developments is
likely to prove quite embarrassing to
the financial arguments which the
silver men are preparing to trot out
again when the congressional cam
paign opens. A natural inquiry as to
the methOdlikely to be pursued in rails
ing funds for war in case of necessity
has brought out the fact that there
is more money in circulation in the
United States to-day than ever before
in its history, the total being 81, 1856
05S, 645. This shows on increase of
S246, 000,000 in the q months since the
Chicago convention declared that
the money of the country could not
materially increase without the free
coinage of silver, a development
which will be quite embarrassing to
the people who are expecting to bur
nish up their campaign arguments of
1896 for use in 1898. A steady increase
of the money in circulation at the
rate of nearly $12,OO0,000 per month
has a somewhat depressing effect up
on the silver arguments of 1896.

THE course of the new administra-
ton with reference to beet sugar is
being highly commended by men of
all parties and all sections. Secretary
Wilson's latest report on this subject
shows that the experiments of last
year were highly successful, and that
he has reason to expect that the beet
sugar production of the United States
in 1898 will be double that of 1897, and
that this will shortly become one of
the well recognized and successful
agricultural industries of the country.

Naval officials smile bit sensational
predictions of damage that will be

we shall have so many fast and form

The massing of practically three
foqrths of the regular army-about
rs, 00GT men4-siatt Ghckaniaaga FEark,i
New Orleans, Mobile and Tampa, is
the first open move towards the mill
tary occupation of Cuba. The plan
of campaign is all made out, but SO
well has the secret been kept that no
person, lot an official, can possibly
say whether these regulars will have
militia assistance in their invasion of
Cuba or not. The general impression
is, however, that they will, and that
a call for volunteers from the militia
will be issued by President Mckinley
within As hours of the moment his
signature is attached to the joint res
olution authorizing forcible interven-
ton in Cuba. 1t is understood, but
not officially, that the President has
decided to adopt the plan of calling
for volunteer militiamen rather than
one calling upon each state to furnish
its quota of the number of men desir-
ed, and that the organizations which
volunteer first are to be accepted re-
gardless of the states from which
they come. According to estimates
made by War Department officials,
more than 100000 volunteers have
been offered to the government,
which is about twenty times more
men than anyone expects to be need
ed.
Just after meeting of the Cabinet,
at which the probability of the mat
erialization of the forcible European
intervention upon which Spain relies
to save it from terrible thrashing was
referred to in discussion, member
was asked what would be the prob
able result of an attempt on the part
of the six great European powers to
force the U. S. to withdraw its de-
mand that Spain evacuate Cuba.
Fighting and plenty of it," was his
prompt reply. That represents the
position of the administration to a
dot. 1t proposes to drive Spain out
of Cuba, regardless of whether it has
to fight Spain alone, or the allied pow
ers. This is very well known to the
European Ambassadors and Ministers
at Washington, unofficially, and they
have only to give the President an
opportunity, by presenting a note
either threatening or announcing
European intervention, to be made
officially acquainted with it.

gentlemen were present from the
West, excited and troubled about the
commissions or omissions of the ad-
ministration. The President heard
them patiently, and then replied:
Gentlemen, suppose all the property
you were worth was in gold, and you
had put it in the hands of Blondin to
carry across the Niagara River on a
rope, would you shake the cable or
keep shouting out to him: "Blondin,

lean little more to the north; lean
