DISGUSTED CARLIsTS.

vertiser. 1t says that '1f appearances &C
| for anything, the Carlists in America, as
well as the members of the various Legti-
mist organizations which have hitherto
professed a violent and unreasoning ad-
miration for Don Carlos, are becoming
| somewhat disgusted with the Spanish pre-
| tender. They cannot understand his vac
| citation. They do not see why he does
not carry out his threatened policy OF in
surrection

he is travelling luxuriantly around the

months ago he promised 10 he on the

| Madrid, When my country is not embar-

The war with America is over, and Don
Carlos is as far from Spain as he ever
was The Carlist army, which he rad
| promised to organize from he Spanish
forces in Cuba, is not yet recruited. The
| Spanish generals and other officers wi o.
he said, were going to flock TO his stand
ard, are now peaceably engaged in Spain
or are endeavoring in her interests TO
make terms with America.
The American Carlists cannot under
stand this. They will not say ANYTHING
openly against their leader. but they
shrug their shoulders and say tnat they
hope it is all right: they dare say that
the war win come in time
The Legitimists are not so sanguine.
Indeed, if it were not for the divinity
that doth hedge king and therefore
makes such an idea preposterous. they
would think that the Duke of Madrid. as
Don Carlos is known to them, has beer
jollying' them.
''One thing is certain that whatever
the plans of Don Carlos may be for the
future he has not made them known 10
his representatives and followers here.
Senor Cortina. with whom Don Carlos
has been wont 10 discuss his various
plans of campaign, and who has been a
lifelong Carlist and the representative OF
his leader in this country. said yesterday
that for some weeks past he has not
heard word of the plans OF hs leader
&" All that ! know Senior Cortina said
is that one OF Don Carlos generals is
near the frontier making preparations
cannot understand at all why they do not
iet me kilo" tnelr plans. 90 not know
If they are going 10 fight even. In one OF
his letters, written some months ago, Don
Carlos said that he would move the in
stant that peace was declared Well. the
Spaniards are making peace, but | can
not see that Don Carlos is making war
yet l suppose It will come out all right,
but and he shrugged his shoulders
and spread out his hands with an air of
hopeless resignation. He would not talk
of Don Carlos personally, saying that he
did not care to discuss such things, just
now The Legitimists still insist on Don
Carlos right to the throne OF Spain but
they are inclined 10 wish that some one
else "a little bolder and a little b-aver'
was Don Carlos-some one a little more
fitted to be king"

Admiral Dewey.

CFrom the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.)
Without exception, the people win heartily in
dorse the recommendation which it is said viii
be made to Congress to revive the rank of ad-
miral in order that the matchless Dewey may
I'll the position. He is the one idol wrought by
the war, and those in authority cannot do too
much for him The people for him without
exception.
He has shown himself 10 be not only fighter,
and a skillful one, but he has handled himself
so well withal in places where diplomacy played
no small part that he merits the highest honors.
He will make a commanding officer for the navy
of the United States of which the country be
proud. No doubt Congress will enter most heart
lily into the scheme and comply with the wishes
of the nation when the matter is brought before

! reluctance to indorse Tammany. AS
the union is said to represent some
twenty-seven thousand voters in Man
haitian and the Bronx, besides its infiu-
ence over the great body of German
Americans in Brooklyn, it's attitude
toward Roosevelt was a matter of deep
concern. 1t was hoped by the Republi-
cans that the Staats-Zeitung, the most
influential German newspaper, would
at least remain neutral, but ii has come
out for Van Wyck. This virtually set
tied the question as to where most of
the German-American votes would go.
but nobody thought of revival of the
union.
1t was surprise when a meeting was
called, and a minority were on hand
to oppose any action in the name Of
the organization, which, they maintain
ed, was dead. The majority, however,
refused to regard it as a corpse, and
after an intensely bitter fight it was
committed to vigorous campaign
against the former police president and
the party that is responsible for the Of
fensive Raines law. This is, without
doubt, the most serious blow che bud
ding hopes of Roosevelt have suffered.
AS the union goes, so will go the greater
part of the German-Americans of both
New York and Brooklyn. and an active
campaign will bring out their every
vote. The Democrats reasonably ex-
pect that with their usual vote, the
support of the German element will
overcome any majority Roosevelt may
roll up in the interior.

State Names i'm the Navy.

In deciding to name the four new
single turret monitors Arkansas, Con-
necticut, Florida, and Wyoming, the
Secretary Of the Navy disregards the
plain intention of Congress if he does
not actually violate the law. The names
of the States are reserved for battle
ships or armored cruisers of the heav-
lest type, and the day ought to come
when there will be a battleship for
every State in the Union.
The monitors now in commission of
both the single and double turret class
are called variously Terror, Puritan,
Miantonomoh, Amphitrite, Passaic,
Powhattan. Monadnock, etc, anG this
class of names should be utilized for
the new ones. With the exception of
the Kearsarge, the battleships should
represent the States. With fleet of
forty five of them we could defy any
power in the world.

Surrender Under the Protocol.

Agreeably to the terms of the Ed

Spain has been literally accorded the

Barring accidents, which are as COM
mon in international as in other human
relations, the Fashoda incident now seems
likely TO be closed without resort to war
The French government organs have
dropped their bellicOse tone and now ex-
press the hope that diplomacy may
smoothe over all differences. At the
same time they scout the idea that there
is any sound basis for assuming that
the whole Nile Valley is to be considered
as under Anglo-Egyptian influence, in
derogation OF a French right TO seize
some part of it, not in actual possession
by another power. The fact remains,
however, that for generation, Fashoda
has been recognized as included in the
territory of the Egyptian Soudan. and,
as the district and strategic point it occu-
pies are obviously necessary to the An
glo-Egyptian policy and control, and con-
meet British East Africa with the lower
Nile country, it seems plain enough that
France will have to pocket her morti-
fication and retreat as gracefully as pos
sible.
