What most concerns the Spaniards just now is to know what the Amer icans are going to do with the Philip pines.

During' the reign of Pros DC the eattse of Don C arios was favored at the' Vatican, and Carlist committees were ctaallr formed under the presidencv of members of the pontifical entour age, the idea being thax the cause of the church would" be vastly strength ened not only in Spain itself, but also in Italy if Don Carlos were on the throne. But this policy has -been reversed by Leo Xm, who has made himself the champion of the present dynasty. Don Carlos has repeatedly remon strated with Leo TTTT en account of this persistent opro ;ition to his cause. But, as the pope always urged him to give up his pretensions, friendly re lations were broken off. At the beginning of the recent war . the Spanish government and the Vat ican arranged to combat any Carlist movement. The pope brought secret influence to bear on the Spanish bish ops, and to impress upon their flocks the dangercus and disastrous conse quences of civil war. Leo X7TT also sent emissaries to Don Carlos, beg-ring him not to provoke a revolt in Spain during the war, to which the "pre tender 'is understood to hare replied that .he had no-need of Vatican advice. Quite lately the pope, in response to another appeal from the queen regent of Spain, has again exhorted the Span ish bishops not to- furnish help to the Carlists. but to combat them as the enemies of Spain, and the present en cyclical' has the effect of. not only -confirming these instructions, but like wise of exposing the bishops and the clergy to ecclesiastical penalties in the event of their disobedience. TO. MUSTER OUT THE CUBANS. Sfe- CwflXit-wt WAs-mr-rroar, Aug- W. As there is no longer a Spanish army in the nsid in Cuba there is no longer any reason for the existence of the Cuban army, aad it is therefore to be regularly mustered out of service. The admin istration has no idea, however, of adopting the Quixotic idea of payin-r the Cuban soldiers for their services during the war or of as-mining the re sponsibility for their payment. The President has. hc-wexcr, a. plan in. mind by which the insurgent army can be disbanded without the neces sity of turning the soldiers adrift with no sort of recognition of .their services. The plan ccnicmplates the granting of an honorable discharge to each soldier, accompanied by a cer tificate of service and a promissory obligation signed by the Luban gen eral in command, to be made, good out of the pab'ic r-3on-tri'i when, the Cubans shall have established the stable government which the- United States has pledg itself to help bring into existence. In addition to thus providing for the soldiers of the Cuban army, the plan under consideration by the President contemplates the mustering into the United States volunteer army of a large number of Cuban soldiers who are America-- citizens.
