PLEDGE THEIR LOYALTY.
On the occasion of a visit which General
Weyler paid to the Casino aud opera here
today, the president. Francisco Santos Guz-
man, in receiving his distinguished visitor,
made short address, in the course OF which
he said 81 have come in the rame of the
Casino to protest against the injurious ca
lumnies of some American senators toward
Spain and toward her worthy representa-
tives Of this island, and at the same time
to protest against the resolutions Of both
houses of the United States congress in
favor of recognizing as belligerents hordes
of rebels. In so doing they are voting
against the rights of our people and with
manifest lack of consideration for Spanish
loyalty and friendship. We reiterate our
unconditional adhesion to the government of
Spain and to the person Of her worthy rep
resentative at whose side we are and will
be with all we have and will have'
General Weyler, in reply, thanked the Ca
sino for its loyal sentiments and assured the
members that their support would be util-
iZed when needed.
Referring to the alleged injurious "calum-
MES and insults OF the enemies of Spain
and their sympathizers,' the general said he
was not astonished at 1t. nor did it affect
him to know they hated and feared him,
But, he claimed, all the imputations made
against him were false, and he insisted, on
the contrary, he had proved hie uprightness
by accomplishing happily and efficiently the
duties assigned to him. The general also
said he regretted the hostility which some
United States senators exhibited toward
Spain. and especially, he explained, as the
Spanish authorities on this island treat citi-
zens of the United States with more con-
sideration and assign to them more preroga-
tives than to any other people. In spite of
this, he said. hostility was manifest toward
Spain. In the meanwhile, continued General
Weyler, he hoped President Cleveland would
persevere in his attitude in opposition to
the resolutions and expressed the satisfac-
tion OF the authorities at the good faith of
the United States in bringing about the eeiz-
ure of the Calixto Garcia and Gollazo fill
clustering expedition.
In conclusion the captain general re-
marked: There is no reason why the good
friendship between the two nations should
be altered and for that reason I am trying
to follow the example of the llustrious Can
| recommend to you all the greatest pru-
dence under the circumstances and l prom
se you that II the necessity arises, / will
chow every one his post, where to die If
the country requires this extreme sacrifice
for her integrity and honor"
The president of the executive committee
at the conclusion of the generals remarks
made a short reply during which he said:
I'VE all agree with your ideas and we all
agree to follow your suggestions"
WEYLER HAS NOT RESIGNED.
There is no truth in the report in circu-
latlOn tnaI GeHTdl WeyleT mas TeslSHeu tHe
position Of captain general Of the island of
Cuba. In official circles it is added that, on
the contrary, General Weyler possesses the
entire confidence of the Spanish government.
