STRETCH OF IMAGINATION
WAR TALK CONNECTING UNCLE
SAM WITH CUBA DENIED
IN WASHINGTON.
THE NEWS OF WEYLER'S MOVEMENT
The Captain General Apparently Eager
TO Shed Blood-Heavy Firing Re
ported as Heard in the Neighbor-
hood of His Whereabouts.

Washington, Nov. 13-Concerning the
report coming from the west to the effect
that the war department, because of
trouble with Spain, has been making in
quiries of trunk line railways running to
the Gulf coast and along the southern
seaboard as to their facilities for NOV
ing war supplies, it can be stated that
the only inquiry made within the past
year by the department on this subject
was one intended to ascertain the cost
of executing the order about six weeks
ago by the secretary of the war depart
ment looking to the annual exchange of
stations of troops. A regiment of troops
in California and further north on the
Pacific coast were ordered to exchange
stations with troops that had been serv-
ing in the east and in Florida, and the
auartermaster' department took steps to
ascertain in advance the cost of the pro-
posed movement in order to make sure
that it would be within the available APP
preparation for the movement of troops.
OF course this had no war-like aspect
whatever, for the same number of troops
that were added to the department of
the east were carried west to take their
station in the department of California
and Columbia.
A fiat denial is also given by the best
authorities to another sensational story
TO the effect that the department has
warned Spain against further outrageous
treatment of American commercial
agents doing business with Cuba. 1t is
said that owing to radical organic diff
ferences in the systems of customs col
lections pursued by Spain and by the
United States and the absence from the
Spanish system of what is known in this
country as post invoices, American ship
ping has been more or less embarrassed
by detentions growing out of failures to
observe the technical requirements of the
Cuban customs system. But this has
been the case for years past, and 1t Is
said nothing has happened recently to
cause any strain of the relations between
the two governments on this score.
