looked forward to by the commercial

Great Enthusiasm shown.
General Weyler received the city
council ON board the Alfonso XIII. He
was presented with an address Of well
come and assurance Of loyalty. At II
o'clock the general came ashore and
was received by General Marin and
staff. The streets were packed with
people who displayed the greatest en-
thusiasm.
The balconies in all the streets about
the water front and in the vicinity Of
the palace were filed with ladies in
holiday attire, who showered flowers
upon the commander as he passed. He
seemed to be much pleased with his re-
ception, and, upon arriving at the pal
ace, formally took over the duties of
the captain generalship, taking the
oath of fealty over q crucifix upon a
Bible. The German warships which
are here saluted the arrival Of General
Weyler. as did the Spanish warships in
port and the forts ashore.
His Plan u CaDspaiga.
The exact plan Of campaign Of Gen.
eral Weyler, naturally, 10 not known;
but it is believed that it will be very
different one from that Of Campos. He
Is likely to cali in all the small detach-
ments Of troops which have from the
first had such q weakening effect upon
the Spanish operations, and he will try
to drive the insurgents into position
from which they cannot escape without
o pitched battle. This does not mean
that the new captain general will leave
all points unprotected in order to con-
centrate his troops here. On the con.
trary, he viii endeavor to protect prop
erty to the utmost; but, In 30 doing, he
anticipates being able TO call in several
thousand men who are doing small gar
rison duty in places where, apparently.
there is no necessity for their presence
now.
VIII he Hard On sympathixsrs. y
General Weyler has issued procla-
nation addressed to the military off,

II am determined to have the law
fall with all its weight upon all those
in any way helping the enemy, or
praising them, or in any way detract.

army OF, Of it's volunteers. Knowing
this, and knowing my character, may
perhaps need to say no more to make
you understand what is the conduct
that am to follow" <a.a ~. .s
He also issued proclamation ad-
dressed to the people Of Cuba asking

STAR TUESDAY, PAGES

Sewall. for all his advocacy Of free silver,
Is not q proper yokemate for Mr.. Bryan.
He does not properly class with the Bryan
people. He Is really the representative of
all that the Bryan coalition Is fighting.
His nomination was a Mistaken after
math Of the hysteria which had called the
head Of the ticket into being. But cor
recting a mistake Is always a much more
difficult matter than making 1t. Mr.. Sewall
Is In commission, and, it would appear.
must continue on the ticket at whatever
cost to it.
The clamor against him by the populists
will now increase in volume and violence.
But they have only Mr.. Watson to offer for
the place. And Mr.. Watson, so far, has
shown as little strength with the populists
as Mr.. Sewau has with the democrats. His
candidacy excites no enthusiasm in populis-
tic circles. The populist vote in Alabama
and Arkansas exhibited greatly weakened
or thoroughly Indifferent party spirit,
and In Maine yesterday it did not count in
the equation at all. What will the Georgia
populists do? Their opportunity comes
next month. If they do no better than
their brethren elsewhere have done, will it
be in the mouth of Mr.. Watson any longer
to ridicule Mr.. Sewall as a vote-getter?
This Maine result may not carry as far
lar South as Georgia or Texas, or affect
matters in Colorado and Nevada, but it is
reasonably certain to exert an influence in
the middle states. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa
and Michigan will hear the news with
lively interest, and reflect the force OF it to
some extent in their November declara-
tiCnS.
