Curtiss then took the machine and
made a beautiful flight back to the
starting point, cutting several sharp
turns and ascending at one time for
more than 100 feet, then shooting
swiftly downward until he was only

PRETENDER IS DEAD


Rome. July ls.--Don Carlos os Bour-
bon. the pretender to the Spanish
throne, died at varez In Lofnbardy, to-
day. He had been III for . long time
and the latest reports Indicated that
he was suffering from apopiexy with
accompanying paralysis.
Don Carlos, Duke of Madrid. who
claimed under the special law Of sue
cession established by Philip ". to be
the legitimate King OF Spain by the
title OF Charles VII, was born at Lay
bach. Austria. March 30. Is4s.
His father, Don Juan. was the broth
err OF Don Carlos. Charles WI. known
as the Count de Monteinolin. in sup
port of whose claims the Carlist ris-
ings of tS4s. 1855. and 1850 were orr
ganixed.
AS Charles vi disd In 1851 without
children. his rights devoived upon his
brother. Don Juail. who had married
the Archduchess Marie Teresa Of Aus-
tria. Their son. Don Carlos. married
on Jan. 4. 1857. MarsAfet de bourbon.

for the purpose OF saving the country.
Then. followed the four years war
which ended in January, 1875. when
Tolosa. the last stronghold OF the Car
list. fell and its defenders sought ref
uge on French territory.
In the meantime the republic came
TO an end and the eldest son OF ex-
Queen Isabella returned to Spain as
Alfonso XII. Alfonso XII died In 1885
and the hight for the succession now
ragged between Marie Christians OF
Austria, the widow OF the late King,
and Don Carlos. The posthumous
birth Of the present King IN 1885, how
ever, kindled in the nation feeling OF
loyalty which has continued to exist
I'D to the present time.
Within recent years there has been
a recurrence Of the carlist agitstion
in Catalonia and other districts which
was attributed to the Influences Of Don
Jaime, the only son of Don Carlos.
but these movements have proved to be
OF little Importance.
