SPANISH PRETENDER.
DON CARLOS, DIES
Long Illness, Reported as Apo-
plexy, Ends Career Of the
Duke of Madrid
He Claimed and Fought for
Throne Under Special Law
of Succession

ROME. July 1S.-Don Carlos OF Bour-
bon. pretender to the Spanish throne,
died today at Varez in lombard. He
had been i'll for a long time and the
latest reports indicated that he was
suffering from apoplexy.
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 80. 1s4s His
father. Don Juan. was the brother of
Don Carlos Charles VII, known as the
count de Montemolin. in support of
whose claims the Carlist risings of
<S4S. 1855 and 1850 were organized
LED FOUR YEARS WAR
AS Charles VII died in 1861 without
children his rights devolved upon his
brother, Don Juan, who had married
the archduchess Maria Teresa of
Austria Their son, Don Carlos, mar
ried Margaret de Bourbon In October.
1868. Don Juan abdicated in favor of
his son. whose standard was raised in
the north of Spain in 1872 by some of
his partisans.
Don Carlos himself. after addressing
a proclamation TO the inhabitants of
Catalonia, Aragon and yalentia. call
ing upon them to take arms in his
cause, entered Spain July Is. 1873, an
nouncing that he came to save the
country.
Then followed the -four years war"
which ended in January, 1876, when
Tolosa. the last stronghold of the Car
lists, fell. and its defenders sought
refuge in French territory Meanwhile
the republic ended and the eldest son
of former Queen Isabella took the
Spanish throne as Alfonso XII.
FIGHT FOR SUCCESSION
Alfonso XII died in 1885 and the
fight for the succession ragged between
Don Carlos and Marie Christina of
Austria, widow of the late king. The
posthumous birth of the present king
in 1885. however, kindled a feeling of
loyalty which has existed up to the
present.
Within recent years there has been
recurrence of the Carlist agitation
in Catalonia and other districts which
was attributed to the influence of Don
Jaime. the only son of Don Carlos, but
these movements have proved of little
