situation in Cuba. Mr.. Williams has
been in Havana so long and in such

palace that it is claimed his views are
colored by Spanish representations.
The consul cannot be accused of mat

from morning until night, but this
close application to duties of minor i'm
portance may have prevented him from
fully realizing the state of affairs on
the island lie is also well advanced

mar the quiet routine of Office work.
His attitude has not satisfied all of the
American colony, and petition is now
in circulation asking the government
for his recall. On top of this comes
the rumor that he has sent his resigna-

says Gen. Weylcr Ns.er Threatened To
ENterminate the Cubans.

Washington, March 3.-Senor Du.
puy de Lone has been authorized to
state that Gen. Weyler never said in
any interview or conversation, as pub
lished in the Madrid Liberal, that he
would eNterminate the Cuban insur-
gents. What he did say in that paper
on Jan, 20 was that he would clear out
the flibusters from the western pro-
vinccs of Cuba and could then proceed
to cXterminate the small bands of
bandits who remained. The alleged
quotation from the Liberal was made
much Of in Senator Lodges speech last
week, and led to assc" ions which, it
is claimed, were not warranted by the
facts. 1t is explained that Gen. Wey-
Ter was only following the example of
commanders in all civilized warfare in
ordering the determination of sporadic
bushwhackers preying upon sections
which had been passed by organized
armies.
