derous temporarily.
The names of Generals Polaviaja and
Weyler We're both mentioned for the
post of commander in chief in Cuba.
When the Spanish government was or
ganizing it's forces to oppose the Gu
ban insurgents last year General Pol
aviaja was slated by public rumor for
the position of captain general of the
Spanish forces in Cuba to succeed Cen
eral Callea, it being doubted at that
time whether Campos would be willing
to undertake the task.
General Polaviaja is commandant of
the Spanish Sixth army corps and has
not been without experience in Cuba,
where his name seems to be hated and
feared by the insurgents. He was on
the islands as subordinate to Martinez
Campos at the time of the Virginius
affair
Cuban patriots tell many stories of
his inhuman methods during the last
cuban uprising, one of these stories
to the effect that he once sent a COM

prisoners from the interior to jail On
