patch TO the Herald from la
vana says;
eff the war is not ended be-
fore the year is over we are
lost" Senior CanoVas de Cas-
tillo telegraphed to Captain
General Weyler. Spain has
taken alarm at the develop
ments of a recent interview be-
tween United States Minister
Taylor and the duke of Tetuan,
SPANS minister of foreign af
fairs. General Weyler eabled
back to Madrid that in that
case he must resort to extreme
methods.
"Do as you please" replied
Senior Canovas. Thereupon
General Weyler determined to
issue shortly an edict forbid
ding the raising Of this seasons

appears war will begin in earn

hills and woods. The Spanish
troops will be in towns

After long discussion, il
