Official View Of the Uprising.

MADRID, Nov. a.-The government
follows the Carlist movement with the
greatest attention.
Senior Ugarte, minister of the int
rior, in an interview insists in the man
ifestations which have taken place there
is no chief directing the ''partidas. !"
General Londares, minister Of war,
lays no Importance to the outbreak
The movement, he says, is Of no i'm
portance.
General Azcarraga, president of the
council, takes the same view of the
movement as the ministers of the inte-
rior and war.
Senior Vazquez Mella, chief of the
Carlist party and former member Of the
cortes, who is at present in Madrid, dis
approves of the movement, which, he
declares, is Of no Importance.
In military circles the only Importance
that is attached to the rising is that It
may be kind of test of the fidelity of
certain generals.

appearance were sufficient denial of the
report, adding that he was actually In

through Long Island for Monday be
cancelled, as he wished to finish his
speechmaklng in his own home village
