DYNASTY IN DANGER.
Madrid Said to Be Practically in q
State Of Revolution.
MARTIAL Law IN TIE PROVINCES.
O0losrs IN Disguise Incits the Mob and
Cheer for Weyisr- Republicans shout
sDown with the Queen Regent
DeApondent View Ut Vienna.

LONDON, May THE Brussels cor
respondent Of the Daily Chronicle says:
"Don Carlos, the pretender, is much
agitstsd by private kilograms he has
received to-day from Madrid. A Span.
ish diplomstist OF high position said
to me to-day; They are practically
in state Of revolution, and It Is the
beginning Of the end Of the regency.
The queen regent may make q final ef.
fort Ia favor OF her son. but he will
never come TO the throne" While
Manila is cut of. there Is almost as
great silence respecting the exact sit
uation OF affairs on the Atlantic. The
papers indulge In all kinds Of specula.
lions as TO the probable meeting Of
the fleets on the ocean. and cannot
bring themselves to believe that Adm.
SIMPSONS entire feet has been
withdrawn from Havana, as II Is
considered quite strong enough to di.
vide without running extravagant
risks. Interest for the moment has
shifted to Madrid, which appears to
be on the eve Of a military pronuncia-
mento. Gen. Weyler is the popular
ideal. He has, however, no actual
command at present and, therefore,
cannot pronounce in his own person.
1t is probable that the censorship
hides the real gravity Of the situation.
1t is extremely likely that martial law
has been proclaimed in other big
cities. Energetic measures on the
part Of the government, especially II a
scapegost can be found, may stave of
Q popular outburst, but the scenes In
the cortss indicate very ugly temper
on the part Of the populace.
The Madrid correspondent Of the
Daily Mail says: 1.-THE governors Of
the various provinces have been su.
thorized to resign theif- powers into
the hands Of the military authorities
the moment they think II convenient,
without waiting TO consult the gov.
ernmenk The military authorities
will at once proclaim martial law in
such cases, taking all the powers In
their respective provinces"
OPPICERs INClTR THE MOB
LONDON, May A special from
Madrid, via Bayonne, says; I'm the mob
Monday night were many officers in
multi, who were foremost in melting
the people to attack the minister's
residences and were loudest in calling
for cheers for Weyler There is no
doubt these men desire to provoke the
government into firing upon the mob,
and SO to pave the way for Its down.
fall. The republicans were even more
busy than the officers In urging on the
crowd and shouting down with the
queen regent More than once they
led the mob toward the royal palace,
but each time the police drove them
back"
DEspoNDENr VIEW AT VIENNA
VIENNA, May "A very respondent
view has been taken here since the
Manila defeat It Is believed that the
Spanish dynasty Is nearing Its end,
and great sympathy is expressed for
the queen regent In her dire trouble.
