Washington. March 25. - There ia
some suggestion that Mr.. Blaine's plan

based on the idea that as the Samoan

The Germans insist that they have
predominating influence on the large
island OF Upolu. Where the capital,

SPAIN READY FOR DON CARLOS.
Both Parties Disunited, and General
Unrest Prevails.

London, Jan. 1s.-The Times prints this
morning from a correspondent in Spain,
a column article on the chances Of the
Pretender, Don Carlos. Among other
things. the correspondent says:
''The Conservatives are d.sunited to a
greater degree than the Liberals, and
among the latter it has been openly as
serted that unless the political difficulties
are solved by the end of the month they
will themselves take the lead in persuading
the people to call Don Carlos to the
throne.
1t is surprising 90 what an extent the
feeling that triumph of Carlism is the
only chance for the regeneration Of Spain,
has spread throughout the country during
the last few months. Go where you will,
that is the question chiefly discussed. Only
the clergy hold alOof. protesting an at
tachment in regency or to the Popes in
structiOn.
"The governments attitude toward the
movement is curious and perplexing
While many of the leading Carlists have
left Spain in order to avoid arrest, others
no less prominent are permitted to address
public meetings in large towns and to pur-
sue their propaganda in the press unmO-
lested In some places Carlists clubs
are closed, while in others, like Barcelona,
they are allowed to flourish openly.
"Carlist books and pamphlets are widely
sold, and in political circles there is talk
of suggesting a compromise Don Carlos
to mount the throne on the understanding
of a speedy abdication in favor of his son,
Don Jaime, who would marry the Infanta
Maria. 1t is certain, however. that Don
Carlos would reject such an offer.
Meanwhile the government is playing
into the hands of the Carlists i'm the most
bewildering manner by its policy of daily
ing, while the repatriated Spanish troops
are perambulating the streets in a pitiful
condition relating their hardships and tell
ing stories of how they were left without
food or ammunition while their generals
in Cuba were haggling with the American
agents as to whether ~ not a victory was
to be purchased by the Americans. Many
officers do not hesitate to declare in favor
of Don Carlos, but the army waits for a
leader Nobody undel stands Gen. Wey-
ler's intentions, and the general hesitates
to make a pronouncel1ent.
"The opinion Of the tarlsts and of many
non-Carlists is that III Don Carlos should
land in Spain the army would go over to
him in overwhelming numbers and he
would probably have a walkover' after
the first skirmish or wo.'

Columbus Confederate Veterans
Send i'm a Petition.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Butler pre-
sented to-day in the Senate a petition from
fifty-hve ex-Confederates of Muscogee
county, Georgia, asking him not to aban-
don his bill for pensioning ex-Confederate
soldiers.
They say that they are citizens of the
United States, and that while they partc-
ipated on the Confederate side of the war
between the states, this war was not re-
bellion. They refer to President McKin-
Iey's recent expressions favorable to the
care of the Southern dead as the ex-
pressions of a true patriot" and con-
clude:
"We therefore hope you will press your
bill and that Congress will pass the same,
and by so doing show the world that we
are a reunited people. We desire this, not
as mendlcants for a pension, but in re-
sponse to the grand and patriotic senti-
ments of our President, and as voiclng the
sentiments of every true patriot who loves
his country and respects the valor Of the
dead Confederate soldiers

Senate Ratif . Treaty.


Madrid, Jan. 1.-THE premier, senor sa-
gasta. in an interview his afternoon, de
clared that lie only a@alted the United
States Senate's ratification of the peace
treaty to convoke the Cortes.
It appears that upon the occasion of a
recent visit of the premier to the palace,
after his recovery from the sickness which
confined him to his bed for some time.
the Queen Regent. whose tact in consti-
tutional matters is well known, drew at
tention to the clause in the peace treaty,
providing that while il should be signed
by President Mckinley and ratified by the
United States Senate, on the Spanish side
1t should only be signed by the Queen Re
gent, leaving out its ratification by the
Cortes.
Her majesty thereupon informed the
premier that it was her royal pleasure
that the treaty should be ratified by tho
Cortes, as she was not justified in sign
ing it aione and thereby incurrlng the
consequences of its effect upon public
feeling

No date has yet been fixed for the meet
ing of the Cortes, but it viii probably
come together two days after the ratifica-
ton of the treaty by the United States
Senate. This is the course advocated by
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister for for
eign affairs, on the ground that the SEN
ate may yet introduce notifications into
the treaty in the articles dealing with the
Philippines"
The foreign minister emphatically de-
MED that Great Britain had sent a note
to Spain regarding the Interpretation Of

Southern Railroad in the sum of 5000,
which he is unable to pay and that An
drews and Wilson are joint owners of the

ions and supplies.
