splendid sight. all the war ships and mer-

Bourse, all the big commercial houses ard
government departments. the Canarian As
sociatfon, General Wey1er's countrymen and
others crowded on the chartered steamers
or about the landing pace. Tae troops
and volunteers turned out 10 man, to-
gether with the fire department and police.

water front aud in the vicinity Of the palace
were full of ladies in holiday attire aad

floral offerings of ere most beautiful de-

were presented to the General, who ex-

NEW PRESS CENSORs.
Accompanying General wey,er were Cap
tairrs Gelaber and Linares, VINO are known
| as military editors" They wiz. most like
ly, have charge OF the press censorship
here, and 1t is already rumored that there
| will be considerable more difficulty experi-
enced in this connection by the correspond
ents in the future. Recently. the pres
regulations have been considerably relaxed
and not much difficulty has been experi-
| enced in getting average matter on the
cable. But, II reports are correct. the new
! correspondents who send false accounts Of
| Cuban successes, or who IN any way bring
about the publication OF false news. by

intends TO interfere with the proper Nh
erty which the press can be allowed in
| war tine IL fcdiy means oHis that ~
| will do everything possible to prevent send
ing out from here OF news which Is u1-
doubtedly false.
| So far as the general situation IL con-
cerned, there is not much change. Indeed,
no change of importance Is expected for
/ some days. General Weyler will first de-
| vote himself to complete review OF the
operations already undertaken. and he VIII
then figure opt the situation as IL actually
