GEN. NEYLER REGISTERS A KICK.
Reported to Have Cabled Spain 1t Would
Be Impossible to Proceed With the
War on Account of American
Meddling.

Madrid, May 11.-The Spanish pre-
micr, Senior Canovas del Castillo, and
the United States minister to Spain, Mr..
Hannis Taylor, had conference today,
the result of which is not known. 1t is
reported that Capt. Gen. Weyler has
cabled the Spanish government that it
is impossible for him to proceed with
the war as he should as the Spanish au-
thorities at every moment are hampered
by the irritating meddling Of America in
Cuban affairs"
1t is understood that the United States
government has presented fresh claims
for heavy indemnity through losses on
sugar plantations belonging to Ameri-
cans which have been burned by the in
surgents. 1t is expected that these de-
mands will lead to further complica-
tons.

ALMOST A CHECKMATE

London, May 1.-THE Globe this after
noon, commenting upon the Cuban situa-
ton. says: 1T is impossible not to sym
pathize with the Spanish ministry, sud
denly called to choose between the loss
of Spains best colony and war with Il
great power. In the event of. war, Eu-
ropean sympathy would be wholly with
Spain"
The st. James Gazette remarks:
"There are conditions in both the United
States and Spain which initiate against
a peaceful settlement. America is quite
capable of doing more than talk when
Cuba and the lives of Americans are con-
cerned. Senior Canovas del Castillo will
have to consider the effect which sur
render to the United States might have
upon the stability of the monarchy. He
may have to choose between rupture with
the United States and a revolution at
home"
