Bisbee daily review., 1907-05-24

never have been foreseen by the Carl ist.
 The surprise was complete, and the wreck of the army of the pretender was eventually driven on French ter rftory near Biarritz and of course re ceiying not the slightest encourage ment from the French people or the Srench government, was forced to disband.
 Don Carlos chartered a special train, hurried to Calias and crossed over to London. It is an amusing fact that he never paid the $1 300 which that train cost and the item appears year after year in the French budget as debt to be recovered.
 The head of the Carlist party in France at the present time is the Comte de Maille. One of the leading spirits was the late Marquis de Chauvelin. The organization in Paris with which men of this type affiliated was known as the head center" The way it was worked was as fol- lows:
 There is, say. group of twenty Carlists. They owe obedience 70 ana receive instruction from a leader.
 
 from man belonging to the inner circle, and this man in his turn re- ceiyes instructions from the "head center. None of the rank and file know any one except the heads of their respective groups The mem Ders of the group do not of necessity know each other; they may occasion ally act toether for some special ser h1gf fhes know the name and address of each oi the persons comprising the group Is the leader.
 If the Spanish police arrest a man of the rank and file all that he can possibly do is to betray the name of his immediate leader. The leaders furthermore do not know each other. Each leader knows only the man in the inner circle from whom he re- ceives his instructions.
 All therefore that can be betrayed is small section of the organization. Every Caritst swears to provide him. self with a rifle and ammunition. and to keep them concealed. He is fur Iher bound to take the field on the first signal from Don Carlos.
 This whole organization was the work of 3 Spanish marquis, for many years the trusted confidante of Don Carlos. The younger members of the party. however, soon became dissat- isfied with him as they thought that ne was not contemplating enough. Two years ago at a meeting of the leaders 'eld i7 Psris at the Grand Hotel, he was deposed and replaced by 8 com
 U. lnTee, two of whom are in France and one in Spain. It is inter- esting to note that this particular marquis is at the present time in Spain, and Is supposed to be watch ing the drift of events, though of his quarrel with other members Of She Christ organization. and Of his actual deposition there is not the slightest doubt But he is supposed to be acting under the personal direc- ton of Don Carlos himself.
 At the present moment there are 10000 stands of arms in the posses sion of the Carlist party ia Spain. But what. it will be asked, are the chances Of an insurrection. That is a difficult question to answer. even at best. since 1t is difficult even for the Span iards to understand the mysteries Of spanish politics.
 But this much It is safe to say; The Instant signal is given 100 000 men will respond to the call. armed and ready for the fray.
 The whole of the Basque provinces and nine-tenths >of the province Of Catalonia may be said to be for Don Carlos. first. last and all the time. In every hut of every peasant in these sections the portrait of the pfetender is hanging. and the owner has the 1 rifle and the cartridges carefully con cealed fin some spot which can be | reached in few minutes. The only uniform which they possess Is tbe5 coIored "beret. r she graceful head | dress of the Basques. Each of the four districts into which. for Carlist | purposes. Spain Is divided. has diff | ferent color-the four being red. blue. | yfste and green.
 Of the fidelity Of the Carlisfs to | their leader there can be nc doubt. 1t is curious that there should be even now 100000 men in Spain ready to take the field and die for man
