POLIVAJA NOT A GENERAL
Nothing but Butcher-C Cubans Pleased
With the Change.

Washington City. Jan. 17.-When Con
zales Quesada, secretary of the cuban par
~ In the United States, was informed OF
the intended appointment of Gen. Pol1vaja
TO replace Martinez Campos. he ex-
claimed with enthusiasm: THAT Is worth
ten battles TO us. This is considered as a
confession Of the fate OF the Spanish gov
ernment In Cuba, as Gen. Campos was the
frst military chief in Spain and also one
of the ablest politicians. In this ooinion
we are borne out by Gen. Azcarraga, the
minister of war of Spain. who. on the eth
Of January, in denying the rumor OF the
res ignation Of Campos. said the retirement
OF Gen. Campos would be the first national
defeat before the rebels, before Europe
and before the United States.
"If Cen Campos has been unable 10
crush the rebellion II cannot be expected
that Cen Polivaja. who never showed any
military ability. and who was only an aide
OF Campos In the last war. will be able 10
stop the victorious revolutionary move
ment. Gen. Poliva jas appointment implies
a change of policy in the conduct OF the
war and an appeal 10 sanguiuary and cruel
methods Cuba recalls the outraEes on wo-
men by the forces under Poliva ia, and also
the dreadful assassination Of Gen Leyte
Vidal Cuban. His coming represents the
policy OF determination, and the despera-
tion OF Spain. But IL will increase the Gu
han army. as thousands VIII prefer 0eath
on the field TO murder in the darkness OF
night"

is OF a very different character He is
commandant OF the Spanish Sixth army
corps and has not been without experience
in cuba. where his name seems 10 be hated
and feared by the insurgents. He was on
the island as a subordinate to Campos at
the time OF the Nrgnins affair. Cuban
patriots tell many stories OF his inhumAn
methods during the last Cuban rising. one
Of these stories is to the effect that he once
sent a company Of soldiers 70 escort some
Cuban prisoners from the interior to jail
on the way all the prisoners were shot, II
is said by order OF Polivaia.
Ii has been claimed by the Cubans, when
previous rumors of POliVaja's appointment
to succeed Campos have been crcula ted.
that his appointment would drive many
residents of the island into the insurgents
ranks who had hitherto refrained from
joining owing TO the confidence that Cam
pos would adhere strictly 10 all the rules
OF warfare in his operations against the IN
surgents.
London Jan. lS.--A Madrid dispatch 10
the Standard says: Learning OF the decis-
ion OF the various political parties in Cuba,
Gen. Campos telegraphed to the govern
ment, offering 10 adopt any course that
would serve Span's interests. Gen. Marin
