Happy indeed are the men who give in

The Carlist Rising.

| Once more the southwestern peninsu.
Ia or Europe looms up prominently in
the news of the day. 1t was to have
been expected after the little contre-
temps with Uncle Sam that Spain would
| lapse into drowsy condition which
would last until tired nature had time
TO recuperate. But while the govern
ment would doubtless have been only
too willing to let things glide on in the
smooth path there have appeared GER
tain gentlemen who are evidently spoil
Ing for fight, gentlemen Of the same
blood as the naughty dons, gentlemen
who proclaim in spasmodic fashion
adherence to the claims of Don Carlos.
Very many arrests have been made,
and 1t is clear that If revolution is
pending the Madrid government is do
ing its best to nip the scheme in the
bud. 1t is hardly probable that Spain
Will just now be the scene of inferno
cine war, but it must be remembered
that revolution is always possible in
that land of hot tempers. Don Carlos
has many friends who would be only
too willing to take up arms in his be-
half If there was a reasonable assur-
ance of success, and it is certain that
the present agitators must have some
glimmerings of hope or they would
curb their activity.
1t is reported that Carlos himself has
denounced the present trouble as being
inimical to his interests. But for
aught we can tell this statement may
only be grand stand play to lull the |
government into apathy. Carlos is for
tunate or unfortunate enough to be |
able to look for support to certain fiery |
generals and soldiers of fortune who |
will gladly engage in anything that will |
further their own ambitions Present |
conditions. however. do not seem favor
able to a revolution, as the majority of |
Spaniards have had enough warfare to
last them for some time to come.

CASTELLANES SCORE A POINT
New York Court Sets Aside Injunction
Trying Up Gould Money,


New York, April 6.-The appellate
division of the supreme court has set
aside the injunction that tied up $780,
600 of the Countess Castellane's in
come of 100000 year as a result of
the action brought against the execu-
tors of Jay Gould's will by Lester
Wertheimer, a London bric-a -brac deal
er, who had claim against the Cas-
tellanes.
The decision in the appeal turns on
one point. The appellate division
holds that, although creditor has the
right to impound surplus income, it is
first essential that he should establish
his claim by judgment. Under the de-
cision Wertheimer will first have to
get judgment at law on his claim after
personal services of process on the
debtors in this jurisdiction, and then
sue in equity to reach the income.
The court was divided in regard to the
matter-.IuStices Mclaughlin Van
Brunt and Rumsey rendering the opin-
ion and Justices O'Brien and Ingra-
ham dissenting.

~ ficer in Railway Station.

Washington, April S.-The Chinese
minister was an early caller mt the
state department to seek information
as to the report, based on advices to
the state department, that there had
been an interruption of the diplomat
ic intercourse between Russia and
China. Mr.. WI had not been advised
of any such development, and the in
formation before the state department
was so contradictory that it did not
permit any clear explanation of the
real state of affairs. The doubt arises
from the fact that Mr.. ROckhills lat
est dispatch does not mention any such
disagreement and the officials feel
bound to accept this as pretty strong
evidence that prior limitations of dis
cord have not taken actual form. Yet
the dispatch received from Mr..
Squires, the American charge daft
flares in the absence of Minister Con-
ger. appears to have been quite explic-
it that the difficulty already had made
itself manifest.
May Have Been Adjusted.
1t is thought possible at the state
department that the circumstances to
which Mr. Squires refers occurred
prior to the receipt in Pekn of the last
russian note and that the trouble
may have been adjusted subsequent
ly. The state department maintains
an attitude of doubt and expectancy,
and is not yet prepared to admit that
there has been an interruption of in
tercOurSe between the two countries.

the Geographic advices there are some
attending circumstances which indi-
cate that at least some strain or par
tlal interruption of intercourse has &C.
Cured. The fact developed in Wash
lngton about n week ago that Russia
had delivered to China what amount
ed to an ultimatum on the signing of
the Manchurian agreement. This fol-
lowed the usual course of ultimatums
and fixed Il definite limit of DAYS
within which China could act. 1t also
conveyed the clear intimatiOn that I'M
favorable action by China would lead |
10 severance of diplomatic relations |
between the two countries.

The limit of time fixed is believed |
to have been one week and to have ex-
pred Wednesday. China di,. not sign
within the time limit and the next |
day. Thursday, Russia addressed her
note to the powers which has been ac-
cepted as removing the pressure over
the Manchurian agreement. This at
hrst seemed to be a waiver of her
prior intimatiOn of an interruption of
intercourse and yet there
was no such explicit waiyer and the
latest adyiceS from pekin renortipc
that an interruption has now actually
occurred, seem to be directly in line
with the threat previously conveyed.
In ease there proves to he an interrup-
ton of the relations between Russia
and China it is not expected to disar-
range the negotiations between the
powers and China. or between Russia

confined to termination of the close
entente long maintained between Rus
