FAVORS HANDS OFF NOW
But Hints Very Clearly That If the
Madrid Government Yields to tho
l/nited States His Followers May Bo
Called to Arms. .
London, June 22. —The Madrid cor¬
respondent of The Mail telegraphs an
interview with Don Carlos in Brussels
published by The Imparcial. The in¬
terview is said to have been revised by
the pretender to the Spanish throne.
i um t conee.J .nun you that when
I lei'tjv e.’i\ce. last April,” Don Carlos
said, “I was resolved to protest by
means of force of arms—that is, by or
dering my partisans to rise—against the
people who were prostituting our coun¬
try by a series of unimaginable humilia¬
tions. But yvhen I learned that war
against the United States was imminent
and might be declared at any moment 1
changed my resolution and firmly de¬
cided to observe the most absolute
impassivity.
“Unsweryed from this decision, I do
not desire to create the least difficulty
for my country, since it is most im¬
portant that all her children should sac¬
rifice themselves for her.
‘'This attitude of inline will last as
long as the present condition of af*
fairs endures, but when the hour for
the great settlement arrives I shall
make up for oy present silence,
"I will then take my revenge, not bv
SM Twill ""as’fooTr my
— Spaniard permits me to
do it. I am firmly resolved to fulfill my
duty to the end, and to omit no sacri¬
fice in order to redeem and to avenge
Spain.” A
Questioned as to the policy he would
adopt in case he should mount the
throne, Don Carles said he could not en¬
ter upon that subject now beyond ad¬
mitting the necessity for a large increase
in the navy, but he declared that he has
thought out and completed plans re¬
garding the military problem and the
question of Spain’s foreign policy. of
‘‘They are my favorite subjects
mediation,” he observed, ‘‘and I have
certain mature ideas of my own regard¬
ing them. I have even thought out
some preliminaries respecting alliances,
which I hope will some day yield excel¬
lent fruits.
“This, in my judgment, is the capital of
point, because the proud isolation
Great Britain has been and is deadly to
Spain. I must pass the same judgment
on the policy of going about begging foi
protection and intervention. The re¬
sult of such a policy cau only be to re¬
duce Spain, oncil the mistress of tba
world, to the condition of Greece oi
Servia.
Our people’s wonderful nerve.
spirit of resolution and exalted sent*
in-.ont of honor are the only force
Spain can bring to a nation
which she may strike an alliance
the day of the coming European con
flagration. She must, therefore,
serve jealously that force and

now are moral disasters, for we

ing suffered all.
“Therefore, if, for example, Admirr
Gervera, surrounded by forces feu timet
superior to bos own and having been
granted a chance to capitulate on cor-,
ditions comparatively honorable, should
prefer to make a sally and lose all lib
vessels, sinking at the same time iu
many American warships as he could,
he would do not only a heroic deed, but
also a useful work by preserving to
Spain the aureola of which no enemy
has yet been able to deprive her.”
The Madrid correspondent of The
Mail notes that the fact that his sou
and heir, Don Jaime, is serving in the
Russian army limy be an indication
of the direction Don Carlos leans in
as r eg ards alliances.
tbs statements hint very clearly that
if the to punish gov rnment yields to the
United States on condition he regards
dishonorable he will Interfere to try to
save Spain from shame.
