MADKiD,.Dec 10-A dispatch to
the Imparcial from Rome savs Don
Carlos, the pretender to the throne of
Spain, Intends to abdicate bis claims
in favorof his son, Don Jame. The
present Don Carlos is the urandson of
the original pretender to the Spanish
throne, alo named Don Carlos, and
is called by the Spanish legitimists
Charles VII of Spain. His grand
father was a brother of King Ferdl.
mind VII of Spain. King Ferdinand
was without-male isue, and annullng
the Sollc law of the country,, he
named his eldest daughter, Isabella,
as his successor, ignoring the claims
of Ills brother Carlos. The latter
raised the standard of revolt in Spain,
out lie was defeated.
In 1843 he renounced his claims in
favor of his eldest son, known as Cir-
los VI. The latter was succeeded In
his pretensions upon his death in 1801
by his brother, Don Juan, and in 1803
Don Juan renounced his claims in
favorof his own son, the present Don
Carlos, who It Is now announocd pro
poses to abdicate in favor of ills eld
est son, Don Jamie.
Don Cailos is said to have displayed
a waning enthusiasm during the last
few years of his life over the claims
put fortli In his behalf to the throne
of Spain. He is called Indolent, and
since the last Carllst war lie has come
Into a fortune estimated at between
$20,000,000 and 830,000,000, upon the
death of his first wife, who was Mar
guerite, of Bourbon, daughter of
Charles III, Duke of Parma, and a
niece of the Countess of Chamord.
A campaign for the throne of Spain
would necessarily Involve the expend
iture of a large amount of this money,
and would be discountenanced by the
court of Austria, with which Don
Carlos desires to stand well. The
queen regent of Spain was an arch
duchess of Austria.
It is said that Don Carlos' present
wife, to whom lie was married in
a new line Ulsters, Overcoats and
Mackintoshes,. Also a new line
of nobby clothing, which we are
offering at the very lowest figure,
These goods are not here to lay
on our shelves, but we propose to
keep them moving Small profits
and quick sales is our motto,

Rohan, would natUally discourage any
effort to secure the throne of Spain,
since If he was to become king, the
castillan aristocracy would be likely
to decline to pay homage to her a"s
quean, on the ground that she was
not of royal birth.
Don Carlos is said to have been
deeply affected by the elopement, a
week ago, of his second daughter,
Princess Elvira, with a Roman artist,
a married man, named Folchle, and
in his proclamation to his followers
he disowned her.
In view of the present activity of
the Carlists in Spain and Don Carlos's
disinclination to lend himself to the
plans of his followers, his abdication
of his claims in favor of his eldestson,
Don Jaime, has been predicted. The
latter is past 26 years of age, and was
educated in England and Austria.
By the express premls&ion of the czar
he is serving as an officer in a Russian
cavalry regiment, and it is said he
has hopes of Russian support for his
pretensions to the throne of Spain,
lie is described as a youth of an ad
venturous and ambitious disposition.
San Francisco, Dec. 16. A private
car, at the expence of Collls P. Hunt
ington, arrived with E. L. Corthell of
New York, a civil engineer of some
reputation, with offices In New York strong and
and Chicago. The gentleman Is a sal-1
arled special pleader for Huntlnpton
on bchair of his Sanla Manlca deep
harbor and breakwater J.ib.
Tne near approach of the meeting
of the Pacific Deep-water Harbor
Commission at Los Angeles to take
testimony as to the relative merits of
Santa Monica and San Pedro Is tho
occasion for Mr. Cut (hull's visit.
Outside of the Government subsidy
to the Central Pacific, which laid the
foundation of Huntington's fortune
and made it possible for him to becnnio
one of the great millionaires of the
day, the railroad magnate never had a
chance to work a softer snap than If,
by some means, he can Induce the
Govermeut to pay for the improvement
of his Santa Monica harbor.
No one realizes this fact more
thoroughly than tho Southern Paclic
President. He is leaving no stone un
turned to accomplish that end, regard
less of the unanimous desire of tho
people of Los Angeles aod Southern
California that the Government shall
continue to improve San Pedro as the
great harbor for that portion of the
State.
The friends of Huntington say that
his health was never better and his
capacity for work never greater than
they are to day. While they admit
that lie is worried about the fate of
his Central Pacific Funding bill, they
at the same time say that not a day
now passes but what he telegraphs out
here for Information as to the pro
gress being made in collecting favor
able data to be presented to the Gov
ernment Commission at Los Angeles
In favor of Santa Monica.
Congress at tho last session appro
priated about $3,000,000 for the
creation of a dcepwatcr harbor at
Washington, Dcc.10. Senator Mor
gan.of Alabama.held tho attention of
the senate and well-tilled galleries for
ari hour by his earnest advocacy of a
decisive policy In dealing
with the Cuban question. The prom
inence of Morgan in the Cuban debate
of last session, when lie had charge of
the Cuban resolutions reported from
the committee on foreign relations,
gave special Interest to ills speech.

the money for Santa Monica. Ho
would have done so had not the peo
ple of Southern California made an
organized fight in opposition to him
at Washington. The fight was Una lly
compromised by having the appro
priation remain in statu quo untill a
commission could take testimony and
report to Congress as to which of tho
two places San Pedro or Santa Mon
icawas the best point at which to
construct a deep-water harbor.
Corthell was paid $10,000 by C. P,
Huntington for the report he made in
favorof Santa Monica. Tho report
was used In Congress last winter as an
argument by the friends of tho rail
road in favor of that harbor. Ho has
never denied that ho was paid by the
railroad for that report. While he
docs not see fit to talk for publication
on the Southern California harbor
question, he admits that he is retained
by C. P. Huntington to endeavor to
persuade the Government commission
and Congress to build a deep-water
harbor at Santa Monica.

Oregon Aid For Cuba.
Pendleton, Dec. 160. S. Jackson,
proprietor of the Pendlctc n Dally

subscription In aid of the Cubans.
There appeared In his paper a call for

ing in Cuban such as is seldom heard
in tho senate. Mr.Morganspoko freely
If oposslbllltlcs of war, welcoming
it if necessary to guarantee tho pro
tection of American citizens. He as
serted that. Spain's bankruptcy would
prevent tho collection of any indem
nity for wrongs. Tho senator ques
tioned tho wisdom of the president's
position, that granting of bell go rent
rights would bo "untimely." Mor
gan's ylewson the line of notion which
should bo adopted was summed up in
the following:
"Although 1 bcllevo Unit belliger
ent rights should be accorded to the
Cubans, inasmuch as tho president
prefers a moro coercive policy, and
warns Spain that the time Is now near
at hand for decisive action, I will sup
port him In any movement that will
save nur people on that Island from
further outrages; I will not ob
struct this coursj with questions of
propriety, but will follow tho colore
when planted by the president on the
advanced ground that theiconccsslon
of belligerent rights has become un
timely, and that every duty demands
active Intervention. If that crumbles
away, I will naain fall back to the
position that a just care for our own
people requires us to declare an armed
neutrality, ready to assail either
belligerent that inflicts wrongs on our
people. If the president should say,
'The time has arrived; the hour has
struck, would-any-Amorlcnn bo so
base as not to hold up his hands whilo
tho battle Is raging?' "
At the close of Morgan's speech his
resolution was adopted, requesting the
secretary of statys for Ipapers and In
formation relative to the Competitor
case and other American citizens held
In Cuba by the Spanish authorities.
The Resolution.
"Resolved, That the president is
requested, if It is not in his opinion,
incompatible with the public scrylco,
to send to the scnato copies of tho
papers relating to tuo condition or
affairs in the island of Cuba, which
are referred 'to in the report of tho
secretary of state that accom
panies his last annual message
as papers collected in tho an
nual volume, entitled 'Foreign Rela
tions of the United States' And also
a statement of amounts of the claims
lodged in tho -department of Ktate by
citizens of the United States against
Spain, growing out of tho alleged in
surrection now existing in tho island
of Cuba. And, also all correspondence
with tho Spanish government relating
to the vessel called the Competitor
and the persons captured
with or near tho vessel with
a statement of tho charge pend
Idg in any court in Spain or
Cuba against said Americans, and the
proceedings of such court In those
cases, and the place of their Imprison
ment, the charecter of their treat
ment while in prison, and the condi
tion of their health; whether said
prisoners have had the privilege of
counsel of their own selection at any
trial that lias taken place on such
charges, or were represented by any
consul, attorney or other ngent of the
United States."

Washington, Dec. 10 The house
entered upon consideration of tho
Loud bill toamend the law rclat Invito
the transmission of second-class mall
matter. The bill had been widely
discussed lu tho publicjprcss, and met
with the most intense opposition
from certain quarters. It denies tho
right of serial novels to admission to

return of unsold publication at the

changes In the present law designed

In tho last 10 years Mr. Loud tuado
an opening speech on the measure,
during which ho declared the bill,
would save tho government $20,000,000
annually. Ho also said that it had'
received tho Indorsement of tho News
paper Publishers' Association, and
was only opposed by thosu who par
ticipated In tho bounty obtained un
der tho present law. The exact status
of tho bill is questionable.
Before this bill was brought up a bill
to reorganize tho Atlantic & Pacific
Hall road Company was called up and
passed, witli somo amendments, after
an hour's debate. Tho bill as passed
gives to purchaser's undor foreclosure

under Its government coartcr, but It
provides that It shall assume all tho
debts and obligations of the old com
pany, nnd that tho lands unearned

pleted portions of the road shall, as a

purchasers.
McRao attacked tho bill on tho
ground that It did not sufllolontly pro
tect the luterests.of the government,
the settlers and tho creditors of tho
company. Ho proposed a substitute
for It, which was defeated, 70103.
Mcltao then declared that tho his
tory -of tho Atlantic & Pacific road
showed it had violated Its pledges and
obligations, and therefore all the
obligations tho new corporation was
to assume should bo nominated injthe

were adopted.
