RUMORS DENIED.
Wey-er Does Not Favor Truce, and
He VIII Not Resign.

HAVANA, Nov. 25.--The statement in the
London Times that 1t was reported that an
armistice was probable in Cuba is ridiculed
! here. The Associated Press is authorized to
state that Captain General Weyler will in
no event commend the idea OF truce. more
especially at the present time. Nor does he
believe that the home government will en-
tertain any such proposition, whether COM
iEg from interested parties or outsiders.
The story published in New York to the
effect that there has been a rupture be-
tween Captain General Weyler and the
Spanish residents is pronounced from Off
cial sources to be fabrication. No dis
patch has ever been sent from Havana ask
ing for General Weyler's retirement Cap
tain General Weyler has neither been asked
TO resign, nor is General Pando expected
in Havana to take his place. 1t is pointed
out that the Spanish sympathizers are not
losing confidence and that, on the contrary,
their enthusiasm is increasing, as shown by
the quick response to General Weyler's call
for volunteers for active service.

fully confirmed. Advices from Sancti SDir-
titus, province of Santa Clara, say that his
family have gone into mourning.

to General Arolas, saying he is satisfied
with his activity and that of the troops in
defense of the military line, adding that the
steps taken answer his wishes in every re-
