ROME.-Dcn Carlos Of Bourbon, the
pretender to the Spanish throne, died
Sunday at Varez, in Lombardy. He
has been i'll for long time. and the
latest reports indicated that he was
suffering from apopleXy with the ac-
companying paralysis. Don Carlos,
Duke of Madrid, who claimed under
the special law of succession, estab-
lished by Phillip V, to be the legiti-
mate king of Spain by the title of
Charles VII, was born at Laybach, Aus
tria, March 80. 1S4S. His father, Don
Juan, was the brother of Don Carlos,
Charles VII. known as the Count De
Montolin, in support of whose claims
the Carlst risings of 1S4S, 1855 ard
1860 were organized.
AS Charles VII died in 1861 with
out children, his rights devolvcd upon
his brother Don Juan. who had mar
ried the arch.Duchess Marie Teresa, of
Austria. Their son. Don Carlos mar
ried on February 4. 1867. Margaret De
Bourbon. In October. 1868. Don Juan
abdicated in favor of his son, whose
standard was raised in the north of
Spain in 1879 by some of his parti.
sans. Don Carlos himself after ad-
dressing a proclamation to the inhabi-
tants OF Cantalono. Aragnon, and Val
encia, calling upon them to take up
arms in his cause, made his entry in
to Spain July IL, 1873. announcing that
he came for the purpose of saving the
country.
Then followed the four years war
which ended in January. 1876. when
Tolsa, the last stronghold of the Carl
lists, fell and it's defenders sought
refuge CT French territory. In the
meantime the republic came to an end.
and the eldest son Of Queen Isabella

fonso MI died in 1885 and fight for
the succession now ragged between
Marie Christiana of Austria. the widow
Of the late king and Don Carlos. The
posthumous birth of the present king
in 1856. however, kindled in the ma
ton a feeling of loyalty which has con-
tnued to exist up to the present time.
Within recent years there has been a
