NO. 40 Affairs in Spain are assuming a very grave aspect. The people are so enraged at the continued demands of the Government for soldiers and money that riots are breaking out all over the country. The most serious of the outbreaks has occurred at Barcelona. We told you some time ago that quantities of arms were stored in Barcelona for the use of the Carlists, and that in the event of a Carlist rising, Barcelona would be the headquarters of the revolution. During the past week the riots in that city have assumed such a serious character that the Government troops have been ordered out to quell them. These riots are attributed to Carlist influences, because the Carlists have long been in a very restless frame of mind, and waiting eagerly for Don Carlos to come forward and call them to arms. The mass of the people in the northern provinces are strongly in his favor, and believe that if he were placed on the throne peace and prosperity would be restored to Spain. The attitude of the Carlist party is now considered so threatening that the prime minister, Señor Canovas, is reported to have said that the most serious of the many troubles which Spain is now called upon to face is the probability of a Carlist rising. In the mean while Don Carlos, the leader of the party, remains quietly in his house in Lucerne, Switzerland, and appears to be making no effort to secure the throne of Spain.
