NEW YORK. May "A special to
the World from Madrid says: General
Weyler's declarations in Havana are
very embarrassing for the Madrid gov
ernment, having caused an unfavora-
bic impression in Spain, as they III
crease the perplexity of the governing
classes and OF the cabinet itself.
General Weyler plainly stated that he
was opposed to Cuban autonomy, and
would not undertake TO carry out ex-
tensive reforms during the insurrec-
ton, but that if the government con-
sidered it eSpedient TO introduce some
reforms purely administrative or eco
nomic, he would obey though his opin-
ion was that the rebels are
ENCOURAGED BY SUCH PROMISES
and he thought they ought to be post
poned urtil the rebellion is crushed
This opinion of General Weyler is
backed by Romero Robledo and a few
conservatives allied to Cuba, and the
Porto Rico senators and deputies, all
of whom belong to the reaotionary
party in the West Indies.
Premier Canovas has consulted dur
ing the past week with Marshal Cam
pos, General Calleja and several other
generals and high civil officials and pol
fticians recently arrived from Cuba,
and all of these, without exception. rec
commended the early inauguration of
very liberia! reforms as the best aux
iliaries of military action in Cuba, con-
sidering that civilians and military men
in the colony are convinced that other
wise the struggle will be greatly pro-
forged and very costly.

The New Minister.

WASHINGTON, May 2-Spinchiro
Kurino, the japanese minister, will be
soon transferred to the Japanese lega-
ton Of Italy where a vacancy exists
His successor will be Hoshpi Tori, a
man of great reputation in Japan and
a representative of the liberal element.
Mr.. Hoshi has had a most eventful
career. AS young man he went to
England and had the distinction of be-
ing one of the first Japanese to grad
uate from Cambridge university and to
be admitted to the bar. Returning to
Japan, he became at once involved
with the old conservative government,
and after being repeatedly admonished
and punished for his radical utter
ances he was obliged to leave Japan
for q time. Ali of this was before the
establishment of representative gov
eminent in Japan. AS soon as this
happened Hoshi was selected as the
first president of the Japanese house
of represent atives, a position TO which
he was afterwards reelected In 1889.
being for the time out of favor with
the authorities at home, he left Japan
and made tour of the world, spending
some time in Washington and showing
great interest in the workings of con-
gress. AS for Minister Kurino, it is
believed that the purpose of the Japan
csc government in transferring him to
Italy is to secure the benefit of his
great knowledge of the subject of tar
ifs and experience in treaty negotia-
tons to prepare a set of similar trea-
ties between Japan on one side and
Switzerland, Belgium and Portugal on
the other 1t is also possible that he
will be of service in concluding the
French treaty, now hanging fire
