DON CARLOS, THE PRETENDER.
Who May Yet Become the Charles Edward I
of the Curlist Cause.
The present turn in the affairs of
Spain would seem to bathe one glori-
ous opportunity for Don Carlos, pre-
tender to the throne, legitimate de-
scendant of the Bourbon line, and
Duke of Madrid. Time there was
when .the cause of Don Carlos, which
meant the intrenchment of absolutism
and of clerical intrigue for the union
of church and state, excited little more
than ,passivefidisgust in this country.
But now whensuch an opening as has
A Flog Diapeller.
The latest invention is a. fog-dis-
peiier. The apparatus consists of a
horizontal outlook-pipe eight feet in

the mouth of the tube is a wide flange;
.ile'l'ear end is covered with a thick
disc oil-glass. , About two feet. from the

United States would be glad to’ hear of
the royal claimant,..there is not one
word about ‘fCarlism", or ther“Carl-
ists," about “the Basque Provinces" or
the “Pragmatic Sanctiou‘f' which is not
of interest. , '
Don Carlos, who was born’Marc‘h 29,
1848, is fifty yearsof age and is just
now receiving/the cordial respects of
Spaniards on the fiftieth anniversary
of his birth, which occurred at a'small
inn at Layback in the Austrian States.
and while his mother, who was an
Arch-duchess of Austria was en route
to the Court of Vienna. He had be-
co e the heir of the Carlist fortunes
by his father waiving his own claims
in favor of the non, after the death of
Don- Carlos I, or as he was called
Charles VI. The first Don Carlos was
an amiable old humbug who preferred
Te Deums to drilling camps
It is not generally known perhaps
that as England is indebted to the
amourous tastes of one of its merry
monarchs for an Established Church,
so Spain has a Carlist cause through
the intrigues or the lapses of virtue of
one of her many Messalinas. The
father of Ferdinand VI-I had two sons,
Ferdinand and Don Carlos. Ferdin-
years of his reignwas without chil-
married. While on a vislt‘to Spain
one of the Neapolitan princesses was
Ferdinand, that is to say. 3“,“ wife
heir presumptive‘ to the throne. This
snub led to ,a palace war and it was
planned to marryithe. old King to an-
other Neapolitan princess, the daughter
of Francis I of Naples, who thus be-
came -Ferdlnand’s fourth :wife. , The
due time to the consternation‘of all-tho
courtiers the lady. was. about. to. pre-
sent; the King with a direct heir to the
throne. The secret: records . of the
Court of :Spain say that though the
King was the putative father,a cham-
berlain, the son .«ofa tobacconist, was
the real father. . However, in the lang-
uage of politics. not desiring to “go
pass: but, anyway,~so-that~the Donna
Carlos should never become Queenof
Spain, the snubbed Neapolitan princess
arranged that the, Kingshould abro-
gate the Salic law, through which .
* males no matter how remotesucceeded
to the Crown in preference to female!
no matter how proximate in the di-
rect line of succesSlon. Thislaw would
secure the crown for the child of the
lady then encente, no matter, what.
might be its sex» Ferdinand wasill
and gouty and also a-mere mentalcriw
pie, who‘was alternately in thehands
of a clerical favorite named Colors
narde, and of this snubhodiiprincese. He
first proclaimed. the Pfhgmatic Sanc-
tion which established‘~the succession
in females as well "as am maleanbut
,Colornarde atv‘vonce induced him to re-
voke this step.
Whenthe Neapolitan princess heard
of this she was at Cadiz. Driving in
harte to Madrid, she went to Ferdinand
and demanded that. the King summon
a Council of Ministers and there and
then, in the presence of the Ministers,
restore and re-avow the order which
he had already revoked while under
the influence of Colornarde. The King
did as the lady directed and Don Car
105 protested against this attempt to
deprive him of the right of succession.
Soon after the King died and in the
meantime the Princess Isabella—after-
wards Queen Isabclla—was born.
As soon as the King died this fourth
wife was appointed Regent of the
Kingdom and guardian of Isahella. One
of her first actions was to'drive out
Coloruarde who also narrowly es-
caped assassination. Her next act was
to secretly marry the chamberlain by
whom she had ten more children not
counting Princess Isabella. Colorn-
arde’s party immediately raised the
standard of rebellion in Catalonia, the
Basque Provinces and Leon; and mass-
esand .Te Deums were mingling their
sacred music together with the sound
of bugles up the valley sides, and along
the fastnesses of Spain for Carlos VIII.
“the King after God‘s. ownheartfthe
Church’s King, the King. Absoluteand
Omnipotent, the King pure and .un-
adulerated.” Spain was now arrayed
into Apostolicals and Monarchiste.
These rival issues have divided Spain
with ‘ slightsuhordinate shadings for
over fifty years. The scandals of the
court have been the gossip of Europe.
The regent Christina, after marrying
the Chamberlain, was herself driven
out. When her daughter Isabella II
was proclaimed Queen, the Carlists dis-
puted the succession the second time.
in turn Queen Isabella‘followed in the
footsteps of her mother, and the late
King Alphonso was generally believed
to stand in the same relation to Mar-
and. to the former Chamberlain. The
Carlists hailed the coronation of Al-
phonso as even a huger joke than the
birth of Isabella.
The third Carlist war which was thus
generated was carried on without pro-
:ence of strategy, yet the party of Don
Carlosmade a stiff fight for the throne,

With a powerful blowerthe inventor
hopes to make a fog-dispeller useful at
1,000 feet. ’ '
_ No, claim is made that the dispeller
would be practicable except when the
vessel is going at a slow rate. of speed,
which is customary when there is fog-
gy weather._________

“’19“: end'the Cuban Cutest.
Will the Cuban question drag along
until the summer which is the season
of awful tompests in West Indian and
Carribean waters? Obviously it ouch;
to be .settled before summer or the
advent of the rainy season on land and'
’the hurricanes on sea will render it im-
possible of settlement until fall.
Throughout the summer months the
risk of wreck in the northern part oi
the Carribean Sea is so great that the
most powerful men-of-war are not
proof against these sudden . storms
even while riding in harbor. In 1782
the Villa de Paris, the Céntaur and the
Ramiliee, founderedflinaflgale. and .a
whole fleet 'o'f'West'Indlamen was sunk
in 18305-3130 while lying-to in a hurri-
cane- The wind suddenly shifted‘from
west to. eastand. blew .equally heavy
and every ship in harbor. says. the
London Nautical Magazine. "under a
square course founder-ed ,with the loss
of their various crews." , '
These southern storms which are
generated under-the equator move. like
the Gulf Stream 'in‘ aznorth'crly direc-
tion and come into collision with the
archipelago -of islands in the northern
limit of the Carribean Sea. Of these
islands "the three or four'largest, name-
ly Cuba, San Domingo, Hayti and Por-
to Rico .form a continual barrier op~
posed obliquely to the 'trade winds.
And see mass of moving atmosphere,
coming from the north, also presses
down upon the islands in its southwes-
tern progress, -the obstruction, which
the islands thus affords produces a con-
stant tendency to atmospheric distur-
bance and a consequent eddying mo-
tion which sweeps along the coasts
gatheringrapidly increased powers oi
destruction as it proceeds. , ,
Probably the most thrilling example
of these Southern ocean disasters was
that which occurred in the harbor oi
Apia, ten” years'_ago._ It was so terrible
an event that it is said to haveactual-
ly subdued a rebellion, and the natives
certain that Heaven was angry with
them were so awed by- thestormof
that year that no power on earth could
again stir 'them to revolt. , , '
7, In 1888 there werecomplications be-
tween Great.Brltaln,,_Germany and the
United States in ,I-Samoa. - ;A [native
Chief Tamasese, walgthe Kaiser's fav-
orite for the crown and. the German

.Apia in his behalf. _ ,Englandaent. the.
Calliope and the United States de-
spatched the Trenton and four other
war vessels in order to check the Kai-
ser and to maintain orders i
One evening these various war ves-
sels were all lying at anchor as proud-
1y as Sennacherib'e host in the, harbor
of Apia, awaiting hostilities on share.
Without much warning one of these
fierce gales struck the harbor, and. in
less time than it takes ctO, say~1“cocl’r
Robin,“ the attention of the seamen
was suddenly diverted from the doing:
of Tomasese and, hlsfe'llow conspira-
‘tors: hatches were battered down, top-
sails reefed'; the upper spars were girt;
great suns were .-.s.e_cu»r.ely fastened in
their places; . additional anchors
dropped and ample cables played out
to allow the ships toheave to and fro
in a heavy sea. ’ ,The,,various captains
were thundering, orders toftheir crown
and the latter were rushing, madlyto
their posts of duty, when suddenly the
cables dragged and the immense war
vessels were pitchinghither andthithj
or like chips in whirlpool while the
terrified and crazed nativesilooked on
in amazement, believing...“ they did
in their superstitious Samoanzway that
the Angel of Death spread his wings
on the blast. .,Afterwa;s_hort but brave
battle against a terrific wind and a
high rolling sea the German gunboat
Eber-went down, sendinga' last pull
of white smoke into the alras the wat-_
ers quenched the firesiof her boilers
below. Seventy-five brave seamen went.
down with her, four of their bodies. be-
ing sometime later washed on the
shore.
their ship now dragging-anchor before
the storm detached a Krupp gun from
the gun carriage and fastening it to
an eight-inch hawser, swung it as an
additional anchor into the sea. While
doing this the Nipslc was rammed by
the Olga. losing two other boats in
addition to other injuries and her
smoke pipe. .With,_._her_smoke pipe
