New YORK, Oct. ga dispatch TO
The Herald from Havana says that in
an interview General weyler was asked
BY that newspapers correspondent last
night:
what do you think about the pros
poets Of putting down the instruction
In the province Of Pinar del Riog"
The general replied that he thought
the chances were excellent for the com.
plete success Of the Spanish army in
that province. He had been Of this
opinion for sometime, he said, and the
recent victories Of Gen Munoz at CAcar-
rajacta aud Of General Arolas at Arte.
misa had only confirmed him In his be-
lief Of freeing this province Of all in.
surgents.
''ls IL fact that you have decided TO

There is nothing absolutely nothing

that my best work could DO done here.

the telegraphs, photographs, railroads
and steamships-in fact, everything
which can further my efforts to bring
the war TO a close. Once In the field.

In reply to question about the pro-

ers General Weyler explained that at
present simply a preliminary hearing
had been accorded, the nature Of which
would not be made public. When the
military tribunal should begin the regu-
lar inquiry the testimony taken, tho

A Question Of Survival.

The Beers as body are unprogress-
i've, unadventurous, averse to change.
The British are progressive, active and
eager for adventure The Beers are
hunters and cattle owners The British
are miners and traders The British
have the forces Of education. science
and capital ON their side; the Beers, ON
the other hand, decline to avail them
selves Of the resources by which wealth
is accumulated, and through which the
power conferred by wealth is acquired.
The Beers receive no reinforcement by
emigration; the British population is
increasing daily by the constant influx
Of new patches Of emigrants. Given
these conditions, and the result is Ger
tain.
In virtue Of natures law Of the ''sur-
vival of the fittest," the British are
bound to distance the Beers in the fu-
tnre as they have done in the past In
this world. as present constituted, the
weaker is certain in the long run to go
to the wall Just as in the southern
states in America the Yankee is hunting
out the southern planter, 80 the Briton
is compelled by the same manifest des-
tiny to oust the Boer. hold, therefore,
that no matter what ones respect may
be for the individual fine qualities Of
the Boer population, one can entertain
no doubt that in the end the race that
goes ahead must get the better Of the
race that stays at home. e.-Nineteenth

Mexican Free Coinage.

Sir-A Columbus editor says: "Free

iness called me to Mexico with some
men in the railroad service. We had
$146 in American silver. We could buy
gold dollars with it dollar for dollar. We
could pay for dinner In Mexican rail.
way dining.room with a United States
silver dollar and get a Mexican silver
dollar as change, provided the keeper of
the dining.room was short in fractional
United States silver He counted our
United States silver dollar because he
could get dollar in gold with our silver
dollar, but had to pay almost two of his
silver dollars for one dollar in gold.
Now, If unlimited coinage OF silver, as
the editor says, makes gold and silver
dollars equal in value, why are not
Mexican gold and silver dollars of equal
valuef They have unlimited silver
coinage in Mexico.-Columbus Dispatch.
