VERY UNFORTUNATE
IN HIS SELECTION
King Alfonso's Choice of
Premier Not Regarded
Favorably.
?V LA MARO, I 1?K DE KO>TKSOY.
FROM a dynastic point of view. Al
fonso JU1I BAa been singularly
unfortunate in his selection of
Count Komanones as his new Premier,
In succession to the murdered Don
Jose Canalejas. For Romanones,
iwhose patronymic is Figuerea. and
whoso family have been iu Malaga for
some generations what tbe Fuggers
were In the middle ages in Augsburg,)
; is generally credited throughout Spain
1 ?justly or unjustly?with having bis
young sovereign in his financial tolls
; to such an extent that the latter is not
I a free agent. Indeed, it 1? claimed that
I all the military operations around Me?
ntis, which cost Spain so much life
and treasure, and all the trouble wltb
i France, which inflicted such incalcu?
lable Injury upon tbe Industry of
Spain and her trade with her northern
neighbor, were, due to the syndicate
] headed by Romanones being bent on
1 securing the hinterland of Melllla for
I its great miners! wealth. In fact, tbe
Romanones syndicate has long had
concessions of all mineral rights in
the district, but was naturally unabls
to turn, them to account, or to work
them, until Spain established her
rule and sovereignty over mat por?
tion of the Moorish empire. That is
understood to have been the reason
of the Spanish war upon the Riff
Moors, and of the long drawn out
crisis between Spain and France re?
garding the former's pretensions to
territorial rights in Morocco. More
, over, the Republicans, the Carlisle,
and the other foes of the crown and
I of the present Liberal regime, do not
I hesitate to proclaim on every occasion,
i and to promulgate In the press, ths
' idea that all the Spanish lives that
I bavs bean sacrificed in tbe military
' operations in Northern Africa, and all
i the fortunes, the business concerns,
and the industries that have been
wrecked through the recent trouble
with France, may be laid at the door of
Count Romanones. and of his Riff
mining syndicate, adding that through
the large sums of money which be has
loaned to the King, ho has been able
to eompel the latter to conform the
policy of Spain In Morocco and in
France to suit ths selfish Interests of
the Komanones syndicate, rather than
those of tbe nation.
Now these popular Imputations |
against Alfonso XIII may not be true;
at any rate perhaps not In their en?
tirety. But that they are widely be?
lieved throughout Spain it is impos?
sible to deny. Equally incontrovert
ible?is tbe fact that Count Romanones
and his financial ring have vast mining
Interests in that portion of Northern
Morocco which has finally been recog?
nized by France as the Spanish sphere.
Under ths circumstances, the selection
by the King of Count Romanones as
Premier In the place of the late Jose
Canalejas Is most unfortunate In
every way.
Count Romanones Is enormously
rich, even from an American point ot
view, and owns most of the country
around Malaga, where he la extremely
influential. 1 have referred above to
his family as playing In Malaga. In
present and Immediately recent times,
much the same role that the Fuggers
did at Augsburg in the middle ages.
But whereas the Fuggers enjoyed a]
world-wide reputation for financial
and commercial honor and Integrity,
the new Premier of Spain has been ]
the leading spirit In all sorts "of un?
savory financial operatlono; operations I
which have usually culminated in the
mulcting of ths state and the people |
for the benefit of unscrupulous finan?
ciers.
Among the operations in which he I
has been Involved have bean the Riol
i de Ora business, the tobacco monopoly, |
! tbe bolstering up of tbe Tranaatlan
I tlo Line, and last, but not least, the!
. mining concessions in the hinterland |
j Of Melllla: concessions which were ob
! talned In the first place from ta<
1 Moorish bandit and pretender El Rogbi,
j but which, of course, were practically
; valueless until Spain acquired control
of the country, and subdued tbe tur?
bulent population which rendered tbe
exploiting of the concessions Impos- .
eible.
A former associate*'of Count Ro- {
manones. and one with whom he he
since bitterly quarreled, la Senor Vil?
lau ueva. who. until his differences
with tbe count, was president of the
letter's Spanish mining company in
Melllla. Villanuevs, who la a format
Liberal member of tbe Cortes, has not
[ hesitated to publicly assert, in I
speeches and In print, that the murder j
; by the natives of the four Spanish j
I workmen outside MeWls, which fur-1
I nlshed Spain wltb s pretext for the I
military operations around Melllla I
three or four years ago. operations
thnt have continued ever since, wee]
deliberately organised wltb this object
in view. Nor has Romanones ever |
made any attempt to bring Senor Vil?
len ueva to book for this amazing ac- I
conation, which, in consequence, there
has come to be widely believed
Associated with Romano nee are the |
Duke of Tovar. the Marquis Camillas, j
tbe Count Gueil. tbe latter a morga?
natic connection of tbe reigning family.
It Is only fair to Alfonso XIII to state |
that If he baa became Involved In op?
pressive and almost Insupportable fi?
nancial obligations towards Roman
oner. It has been due to his extrava?
gances In matters of sport end of!

Men of wealth
f em led to stehe this saggietlen by
the fact that If the etrtee. towns ase
? assists mattered along the eitenwv?
tected from the horrors of pombard
ment. and from any disturbance by
the Ottoman enemy in the present war.
It haa been largely, if not wholly, due
to several Greek multi-millionaires,
sosie of whom who bad acquired their
fortunes and spent their livea abroad,
who made either great bequests or
huge gifts of money for the erection
of a Greek fleet sufficient for defen?
sive purposes. The first and foremost
in this patriotic movement waa the
late Andrew Ave rev; and Greece's
finest and most modern cruiser, an
extremely powerful man-of-war, built
in Italy for a tiouth American re?
public, but purchased from the con?
structors by Greece, bears the name
of Ave rev. since it was bought with
the money provided by him for tne
purpose.
There are several other cruisers,
gunboats and destroyers In the Hel?
lenic navy, which also bear the names
of their donors; and, thanks to the
splendidly efficient reorganization of
the personnel of the Greek navy by a
mission of English naval officers under
a British admiral, the Greek fleet has
been able to give an excellent ac?
count of Itself, and to keep the coasts
of the kingdom entirely free from any
Ottoman menace by sen.
Had it not been for this, and had the
Turkish fleet, which baa been reatrict.
ed to bombarding Bulgarian and
Rumelian forta on the Black Sea, been
free to emerge from the Dardanelles
to the south. It could easily have pre?
vented the use of the railroad from
the Greek frontier to Sal on lea, which
runs for its grester length along the
coast, and could thus have checked the
victorious advance of the Greek army
upon Saionica. It waa the Greek navy,
ia fact, that rendered possible the cap?
ture of saionica by the Greeks, who
have been thus enabled to rehabilitate
tbelr military prestige, so sorely dam?
