WITHFLAME ANDSWORD
WEYLER WILL CARRY ON "A WAR
OF DIFFERENTIATION IN
CUBA.
The War Must Soon be Ended or SPANS
Chance for Victory Is Lost.-The
Sugar Crop Will be Destroyed
Cubans Will Fight IN the Forests
and The Spaniards in the Cities.

New York, Aug. 31.-A dispatch to
The World from Havana says:
THE rebels must be defeated before
the year. or we are lost Premier Can
ovas ca'bled to General WeyIer.
The despairing dispatch explained
chat the Spanish COVER nment has taken
alarm at the Developments of a recent
interview between United States Min
lister Taylor and the duke of Tetuan,
SPANS minister OF foreign affairs.
General Weyfer tekgraphed back
that in that case he must resort to ex-
IRENE methods.
DO as o please" replied Senior
C%anovas.
Thereupon General Weyler deter
mined to issue shortly an edict forbid
ding the grinding Of the seasons g
crop.
When the edict appears war will be-
gin in arrest Cubans will, occupy the
hills and woods. tho Spanish troops
will be in the cities and towns. The
sugar mills will he destroyed on both
sides, for Weyler will accept Gomez's
tactics and enter upon a campaign of
extirpation. Cuba will be made Desc
late by fire and sword. The torch will
be applied by regulars and insurgents
alike to everything which might give
aid and comfort to the enemy. Every
body outside the military lines will be
shot without challenge.
There was a panic in political and
financial circles when General Weyler's
Intention leaked ont. The marquis of
Apezteguia. the chief Of the conserva-
tive party, was Immediately summoned
to Havana by wire. AMI arrived yes
terday from the Conctancia sugar plan>
tation. where he was making extensive
preparations for mex. years crop.
A meeting Of the conservative leaders
vas held. Planters and politicians of
great influence were present. After a
long, hot discussion. in which General
Weyler's expected ediut was denounced
without stint, resolutions were adopted
to this effect:
First, That a committee. composed
OF the marquis OF Apezteguia, PasQuel
Goigochea and Patacco Sanchez, visit
Weyler and try to prevail upon him not
to issue the edict.
Second, II he persists in his deter
mination to issue the edict, that the
government at Madrid be urged to re-
call Weyler to SPAIN"
These %audacious resolutions are the
talk Of the city. as 1t is well known that
Spanish rule in Cuba has always been
upheld by and in control OF the conser
vative party, especially in times OF war.
and that the party's resolutions are. in
effect, law.
1t will not be the frat case of a cap
tain general being virtually dismissed
by the Cuban conservatives. In the
last war, Captain General Dulce was
sent back to Spain by the volunteers.
Conservatives and volunteers are the
same people. Captain General Campos
was also sent to Spain by them.
The conservatives wish General Pola-
vieja IA ..eyler's place.
The workmen in a Spanish cigar fac
'.ory operated by an E%nglishman named
Book made a public demonstration FRI
day might in favor Of Spain, at which
the favortte cry wal Death to the
