Madrid, Sept. 24.—Don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, has written a letter emphatically denying that he has abandoned his claims. He declares that after the sacrifices which have been made in «his behalf he would be 'a coward to renounce his rights. Moreover. 100,000 volunteers are ready to take up arms in his cause, he says. It is the belief of Don Carlos that Spain must abandon Cuba, and that the loss of the island will emphasize the existing deep discontent. It is expected that the pretender will shortly issue a manifesto. Don Carlos, who claims the Spanish throne under the title of Charles VII, is a grandson of Don Carlos, the second son of King Charles, who made a fruit- less fight for the crown on the death of his elder brother, Ferdinand. . The present pretender is a son of Don Juan, who received his claims from his elder brother, Don Carlos, Count de Montemolin, in whose cause the Car- lists rose between 1848-60. ' Don Carlos, of the present, raised the standard of revolt in Spain in 1873, but was finally driven from the country in 1876 by Alfonzo XII, son of the ex- Queen Isabella, who returned to the. throne on the fall of the republic. Surrender of Two Rebel Officers. Havana, Sept. 24.—It was officially announced today that 2 insurgent of- ficers and 21 armed insurgent cavalry- men who belonged to the insurgent forces under Trellez surrendered to the Spanish authorities at Yaguaramas, province of Santa Clara. Trellez, it is added, was killed the previous night by three of his followers. A column of Spanish troops, com- manded by Colonel Munoz, while re— connoitering the north coast of Havana province, between Boca Cobre and Boca Ciega, east of Bacuranao, captured 60 boxes of ammunition and 12 lots of ri- fles, said to have belonged to a filibus- tering expedition which has recently landed in that vicinity. The troops are continuing the search and hope to cap- ture more arms and ammunition. Minister Reverter’s Case. Rome, Sept. 24.—The“ uncompromising attitude toward the Spanish govern— ment of the bishop of Majorca, who ex- communicated the Spa‘nish minister of finance, Senor Reverter, for seizing the treasury of a church in his diocese, and the evident approval which the bishop’s action is meeting with upon the part of his Spanish confreres have so alarmed the authorities at the Vatican that the pope has again instructed the papal nuncio at Madrid to insist upon the clergy opposing Carlism and to urge the clergy to earnestly support the present Spanish ministry and present Spanish dynasty. ,, Postmasters Appointed.

It Forms the Subject of “a Protest From the Clearing House Association. London, Sept. 24.—The protest, in the form of a resolution, which the London bankers drew up at their meeting in the clearing house yesterday against the policy of the governor of the Bank of England in announcing its willing- ness to maintain one-fifth of its bullion reserve in silver, was presented to the bank today. The protest was accom- panied by a formal letter. The resolu- tion was in the name of the Clearing House association, as, although all the members were not represented at the meeting, a majority of the membership was represented and was "unanimously for it. Its text is as’follows: “That this meeting entirely disap- proves of the Bank of England agreeing to exercise the option permitted by the act of 1884 of holding one—fifth or any other proportion whatever of silver as a reserve against the circulation of Bank of England notes. 7 “That a copy oi! this resolution be sent to the Bank of England, the prime min- ister. the first lord of the treasury and the chancel‘for of the exchequer.” An organized movement has begun. to induce other commercial bodies to pro- test against the announcement of the governor of the Bank of England. A high official, who was a participant in the negotiations between the United States bimetallic commissioners and the British cabinet, said today: “I fear the bankers will frighten the government into receding from their stand for bimetallism. They have for- gotten that parliament unanimously re— solved measures to secure a stable par of exchange between gold and silver, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the chan- cellor of the exchequer, pledged himself to do all in his power to carry the reso- lution into effect. The English public have forgotten also that 10 of the 14 members of the agricultural commission signed a report recommending bimetal- lism as a palliative for the agricultural depression in England. The public and the newspapers seem to think the gov- ernment is influenced merely by desire to secure the good will of the United States when it is attempting to carry out the declared policy of parliament.” The Evening Standard, referring to the protest, says: “The public is confi— dently expecting an expression of con- demnation from the governing body of the Bank of England of Mr. Smith's extraordinary statement. A national institution should not be imperiled and the whole financial system of the coun— try excited by such vagaries.” Chicago Postofilce Fight. Chicago, Sept. 24.-—Char1es W. Carr, former superintendent of postal station 0, was recommended for removal from the postal service by the full trial board of the Chicago“ postoffice. The recom- mendation came after the hearing of formal charges preferred against Carr, the principal ones of which originated in his appeal to the federal court for his assumed rights as a superintendent after his removal from station 0 by Postmaster Gordon. The fight will now be transferred to Washington. Bequests of the Late Theodore Lyman. Boston, Sept. 24.—The will of ex-Oon- gressman Theodore Lyman leaves the bulk of his property to his widow and children. but makes the following pub— lic bequests: Ten thousand dollars to the Boston Asylum and Farm' school. $10,000 to the president and fellows of Harvard college, and ‘a collection of valuable books to the Museum of Com- parative Zoology in Cambridge. Flood Sufferers Cared For. El Paso, Tex., Sept. 24.—The govern- ment has brought all the Villa Ahumada flood sufferers to Ciudad de Juarez and is caring for them. Trough traffic from this city on the Mexican Central rail- road will be resumed tomorrow. TIRES THAT LEAK. The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as a distinct improvement in bicycle tire construction. It has the following ad- vantages: While punctures in it can be re- paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in- jections, as well as in any other single-tube tire, it can be permanent!) repaired by using the quick-repair strip inside the tire. See cut No. 1 No. 1-. By injecting M. & W. quick-repaiz cement through the puncture, anc then pressing down on the tire with the thumb. as in cut No. 2, the repair No. 2. A strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in out No. 3. - The Morgan & Wright single-tn quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a sieve." , Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. Ask any bicycle dealer whether other tires last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. Morgan & Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the Morgan 8: Wright free repair shops, located in the principal cities. N. B.—When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it, may 'amaqe it considerably. - ‘WEEkhx f\ The Beauty of Health. .
