CABLOS 353 CABLSBT7HE book of Literature." The most im- portant contribution to the question since is Gachard's "Don Carlos and Philippe II." (2d ed., Paris, 1867). A new and not unfavorable light on Philip's char- acter as a father has been thrown by the publication of "Letters of Philippe II. to His Daughters" (Paris, 1884), by the same editor. CABLOS, DON, Duke of Madrid, nephew of Don Carlos of Montemolin, born March 30, 1848. On the death of his uncle (1861) he became head of the Carlists (q. v.). In 1867 he married the daughter of Duke Charles III. of Parma. In 1872 he issued a manifesto to the Carlist party at Madrid and appeared in the Basque provinces, but was badly defeated at Oroquieta and fled back to France. In 1873 he reappeared in the N. provinces of Spain; captured the strong- hold E Stella, and had soon overrun Na- varre, Catalonia, Aragon, and Valencia, with the exception of the great cities. He was aided with money by all the priests and Legitimists of Europe. By February, 1876, the rebels were hemmed in along the N. coast, and the majority surrendered at Pamplona. He himself fled over the French border, and lived from then on in exile and comparative poverty. He died July 18, 1909. CABLOS I., King of Portugal, bom in 1863, formerly known as Duke of Bra- ganza, son of Luis I. He married, in 1886, Marie Amelie de Bourbon, daugh- ter of the Count of Paris. Immediately after his accession to the throne, in 1889, a revolution broke out in Brazil, which resulted in the overthrow of the empire and the formation of a republic. In the financial straits to which Portu- gal was reduced in 1892, the King and his family renounced 20 per cent, of their personal revenue, amounting to over $100,000 per annum. He died Feb. 1, 1908, after having been assassinated, together with his oldest son. Prince Luis, in the streets of Lisbon. CABLOTTA, (MABIE CHARLOTTE AMELIA), ex-empresfi of Mexico, born in Brussels, June 7, 1840, the daughter of Leopold I. of Belgium. She was married to Maximilian, Archduke of Austria (1857). She accompanied her husband to Mexico in 1864, but in 1866 returned to Europe to solicit aid from the French Emperor and from the Pope. Her failure and the news of her husband's overthrow, unbalanced her mind. CABLOVINGIANS (kar-lo-vin'yans), the second dynasty of the French or Prankish kings, which supplanted the Merovingians, deriving the name from Charles Martel or his grandson Charle- magne (that is, Karl or Charles the Great). Charles Martel (715-741) and his son Pepin (741-768) were succeeded by Charlemagne and his brother Carlo- man (768-771). Charlemagne became sole king in 771, and was succeeded in the Empire of the West by his son Louis le Debonnaire (814). He divided his em- pire among his sons, and at his death (840) his son Charles the Bald became King of France. He died in 877, and was succeeded by a number of feeble princes. The dynasty came to an end with Louis v., who died in 987. CABLSBAD. or KABLSBAD, a town in Bohemia (Czecho-Slovakia), on the Tepl, near its influx to the Eger, 116 miles W. by N. of Prague. It is widely celebrated for its hot mineral springs, and is frequented in summer by visitors from all parts of Europe. The perma- nent population numbers about 20,000, who are very industrious, making jew- elry, porcelain, and various articles such as are likely to find ready purchasers among the visitors, who in the season — April to October — number from 25,000 to 30,000. Set in most lovely scenery, the town is well built, and oflPers good accommodation for its guests. The tem- perature of the hot springs varies from 117° to 167° F. The principal spring, the Sprudel, has a very large volume, and is forced up to a height of three feet from the ground. Altogether, the daily flow of the springs of Carlsbad is estimated at 2,000,000 gallons. The principal ingredient in the water is sul- phate of soda. The whole town of Carls- bad appears to stand on a vast caldron of boiling water, which is kept from bursting only by the safety-valves the springs provide. Ascribing its founda- tion to the Emperor Charles IV. (1347), Carlsbad was made a free town by Jo- seph I. CABLSKBONA, or KABLSKBONA, the capital of a Swedish province, built on five rocky islets in the Baltic, 240 miles S. S. W. of Stockholm. It was founded in 1680 by Charles XL, who gave it his own name, and made it the great naval station and arsenal of Swe- den, instead of Stockholm. It has a mag- nificent harbor, vdth a sufficient depth of water to float the largest vessels. The only practicable entrance is strongly defended. Pop. (1919) 27,642. CABLSBUHE. or KABLSBTTHE (karls'ro-e), the capital of the republic of Baden, situated 5 miles E. of the Rhine, and 39 W. N. W. of Stuttgart, 34 S. S. W. of Heidelberg. Founded in
