LONDON, Mach 9.—News from the Sn- dan shows that great excitement prevails there. The dervishes are making great preparations in view of the projected ad- vance of. the Anglo-Egyptian expedition on Berber. The khalifa is relying on 05‘ man Digma to repel the advance of the Anglo-Egyptian forces .up the Nile and has appointed him governor of Berber, with the title of cmir of emirs. Osman Digma has taken up his quarters at Ber— ber and has called out upward of 25,000 dervishes, many of whom are well armed with rifles recently purchased by the khalifa from the Abyssininns. Advices from the Egyptian spies, 110w— ever, indicate that the mass of the der- vishes are reluctant to fight and that Os- man Digma has been compelled to dis- patch a force of 3.000 men to traverse the country, calling upon the Arabs to join his standard under penalty of death. The first newsin ten months has also been received from the European prisoners at Omdurmau, the military camp of the khalifa near Khartum. They fire in a. state of tremendous anxiety and fear they will be massacred directly the khalifa finds he is unable to resist the advance of Quick Relief from Rheumatism. Mi.

THE GOVERNMENT ALARMED Suspected Carlists Closely “hatched ana Large Forces of Troops Drafted Into . Infected Districts—“flay Spain Dare Not Recall EVeyler. MADRID, March 8..—-A very troubles state of affairs prevails in Spain. The most acute distress is being experienced. The Carlists are showing unmistakable signs of activity. There is further alarming news from the Philippine islands. The government is disgusted with the perform ances of Captain General Weyler in Cuba, but they'dare not recall him. In this connection a startling explana- tion of the inaction of the government is hinted at. According to rumors circulated here, the reasons why Weyler is not recall- ed are: Firstly, because he is a. pronounced Republican; secondly, because it is inti- mated that sooner than return to Spain in disgrace he would proclaims. republic in Havana. The distress. is most severe in the Bis- zayan provinces. The people of Leon are on the verge of starvation, the crops hav- ing been practically destroyed by the re- cent floods, which followed previous se- vere drought, while on all sides flocks and herds are dying of famine and disease. In La Mancha the failure of the olive crop has prevented the peasants from earning anything the whole winter, and large numbers of them are barely able to keep body and soul together by subsisting on anything procurable. Very many fam- ilies have not seen a. loaf of bread for months, and meat has been far out of their reach since the fall. The distress is not confined to isolated districts. All the towns and villages are affected more or less, and as a rule the inhabitants are famish- ing, many of them being reduced to sub- sist on acorns. In this city, for instance, where it might be expected that the distress due to crop failures would be hardly felt, over 2,500 persons are daily being fed from charitable sources. Under these circumstances it is not astonishing that hundreds of families are emigrating to Brazil and that thou- sands Of families would do so had they the means to leave the country. Fear of Don Carlos. Coupled with this great distress are ru- mors of the increasing strength of the Carlist agitation in the northern and central states of Spain. This is causing the greatest anxiety in political circles in spite of the recent formal declarations of the Carlist senators and deputies that Don Carlos, the pretender to the throne of Spain, will not make any attempt to dis- turb the peace of the country so long as the government has its severe colonial trou- bles to deal with. The pretender is thus assuming a patri- otic attitude, which is well calculated to. win him many sympathizers and may be of material use to him when his advisers decide that the moment has arrived for him to make another attempt to reach the throne of Spain. That he will do so sooner or later nobody seems to doubt, but it would hardly be in keeping with Spanish chivalry to take advantage at the present time of the sore distress of this suffering land. However, the local newspapers here and elsewhere are full of curious details of the reparations and plans of the Carlists to take the field when the signal is given. Incidentally there seems to have been a bad blunder committed by somebody in the Pueblo. and San Miguel districts, where a. band of Carlists recently attempt- ed a rising, which was promptly suppress- ed by the local authorities. The insurgent Carlists, who were arm- .ed, were arrested and imprisoned. On their persons were found compromising documents. When submitted to examina- tion, the prisoners confessed that they had expected, a simultaneous rising to take place in other districts, showing that the instructions they had received were the re- sult of some mistake. The Government Alarmed. The revelations made seriously alarmed the government, and the minister of the interior and the minsister of war took the matter in hand. The former telegraphed to the local authorities to closely watch the Carlists and suspected Carlists in the northern and eastern provinces, these be— ing most affected by Carlism, and the lat- ter wired to the military commanders in these provinces, instructing them to vig- orously repress any disturbances. The government also came to the de— cision to arm the peninsula army with mauser rifles and to take steps to hold military maneuvers in Catalonia. This really means a. quiet manner of drafting a large force of troops into Catalonia with- out creating the alarm that such a step -Would cause if done in the manner usual under such conditions. But despite the precautions of the gov- * ernment to avoid exciting the people the; distress prevailing, the depressing news from the Spanish colonies and the Carlist rumors are causing a very uneasy feeling throughout Spain. A Carpet Shutdown. . LOWELL, Mass, March 8.-—The Lowell Carpet company, one of the largest carpet mills in the country, has shut down for one week owing to the light demand for carpets. The Officials state that the im- pending tarii‘f legislation makes it unwise to store carpets at present. The curtail- ment of production will affect 2, 300 cm- ployees. while it will keep the market well in hand. llIissiug Minister Millington.
