May Result in Overthrow
Of the King.
BY PAUL YILLIERs.


PARIS, July 3o.-With the ancient
monarchy OF Spain standing on the
threshold Of civil war which may rend it
from the Pyrenees mountains to the
Portuguese boundary, Don Jaime, the
pretender to the throne, has not caused
any moro complications than tho reports
in Bourbon circles here that Miss Anne
Morgan. daughter Of J. Pierpont Morgan,
the American multi millionaire, may be-
come queen OF Spain.
For months society journals have pub
lished from time to time items OF the
interest which Don Jaime shows for Miss
Morgan, and which they say Is rccipro-
Gated by her. Paris learned today for
| the first time that Don Jaime's latest
entrance into Spanish affairs is to head
a rebellion which may be financed by j.
Pierpont Morgan.
1t is believed that, together with the
millions OF dollars which may possibly
| come from America, Spain IS ripe FOR
| revolt which will not only overthrow
Jaime on the throne which he has long
claimed was his by right Of law.
Complicated Situation.
The possibility of Miss Morgan becom-
ing queen of Spain some day Is by no
! means 80 vague as to he impossible.
Spain Is essentially n Roman Catholic
nation and the people cling to the faith
the Spanish the church OF Rome comes
before the state and the king. No won
der. then, considering these Gircum-
stances, that Don Jaime has rallied to
tcering TO lead revolution In defense
OF the Vatican and against the govern
ment OF Alphonso.
Don Jaime has been hailed throughout
the provinces Of Spain as hero. His
| threat TO throw Spain into a civil war
coincide with the fiery determination OF
the Spanish people to punish Alphonso.
Ever since the waeing OF the war In Mo-
rocco and the Barcelona riots the excite
| ment throughout Spain has been tending
more and more towards anarchy
The jails arc filed with prisoners.
| towns are overrun with government spies
| and wholesale arrests are universal.
Opportune Moment,
The hatred of the people against the
governments policies has grown 10 fever
heat. Don jaime Will apply match.
In fact, according to the Paris view, the
| name of Don Jaime is flrebrand enough
| TO throw Spain into frenzy Of revolt
| In the past few years the followers OF the
! son of Don Carlos have grown In mum
ber. Don Jaime has been living quietly
| on the continent. but he has not been
quiet by any means. His agents have
| been busy throughout Spain. Some OF
| them have suffered arrest and Danish
| ment others are still in prison. but they
are not disheartened by the punishment
Don Jaime Is a Catholic and is favor
ably looked upon by the vatican. His
| connection with the Church of Rome Is
| best shown by his present attitude. l1o
| stands not only ready but willing 10 lead
an army OF Carlists against Alphonso IN
an effort TO overthrow the government,
establish himself as king and place the
| Roman Catholic faith in Spain upon the
plane that 1t formerly occupied.
Don Ja!me's friendship for Miss Nor
| gan, his devotion TO her and her reputed
interest In him and his aims, has caused
| more than a little gossip here In Bour-
bon circles At first this friendship was
attributed TO the fact that Miss Morgan
| and Don Jaime have many interests III
common, Miss Morgan is n phllanthro-
pist, whose CHIEF JOY In life Is making
persons, less fortunate than herself
happy. She is tlrclcss worker in be-
half of the poor girls and down trodden
| men The bulk Of her charities are
secret. but they exist both in this coun-
| try and in America.
Has Strong Following,
Don Jaime is likewise a philanthropist
In a way He has long been engaged
| In perfectng n code OF reforms which
| he wants to see introduced In Spain. II
| he Is ever elevated 10 the throne. His
followers admire him for his bravery,
| his kindness and his generosity, He is
| n soldier. but lie does not have the In
stincts of a soldier of fortune strongly
! imbued in him. He is too frank 10 be a
| trigues. the traits which have endeared
him to his friends and followers
The attachment of Don jaime and Miss
| Morgan was first remarked about year
ago, Since Miss MorGan's present trip
abroad this gossip has been vigorously
renewed Miss Morgan Is not Catholic,
| but Don Jaime's influence with the
| Catholics is sufficient to have her recog-
nlzed queen of Spain by the Roman
! Catholic church II occasion should ever
arise The question Of money was al
ways a handicap TO the Carlist enterprise
| If Don Jaime is successful In raising
| sufficient sums TO equip an army. which
Is not at all unlikely, success would be
nearer 10 his grasp than ever before In
| the history of the Carlist rebellion.
