have continued the military operations
In the province of Pinar del Rio.
A bad impression has also been Great
ed here by the dispatches of tue Spanish
correspondents at Havana, announcing
that General Weyler has suppressed al
dispatches referring TO the ovations IN
Spain in honor of Major CiruJeda- IL Is
supposed that the captain general s ac-
ton was due to jealousy and 1t Is cur
rently reported that the government IS
disposed to replace Weyler by General
Marin, now governor of Porto RICO.
IMPARCIAL DENIES IT.
Madrid, Dec 15.-The Impartial says
that the ministers have no knowledge OF
CAPTAIN General Weyler having taken
any action against Major Cirujeda, and
regard it as being improbable. The I'M
parcial also says that the report that
Captain General Weyler is shortly to be

message will be sent by Spain to the
United States. They add that Senor
Canovas, the premier. will approach the
question of reforms in Cuba only when
the revolt has been almost crushed.
WHO MARIN IS.
Washington, Dec. 15.-General Marin
has seen considerable military service in
the cause of Spain, having participated
In the last Cuban war. At that time he
had for adversaries on the insurgent side
some of the men figure prominently in
that service today. General Marin came
TO Cuba permanently with Martinez
Campos when the latter was appointed
captain general of the island. He acted
as captain general when CampoS was
in the field against the insurgents and
when Campos was recalled as the result
Of the dissatisfaction of the Spanish gov
ernment with his campaign, Marin took
his place during the interim between the
departure of Campos and the arrival of
Weyler With the advent of Weyler,
Marin was appointed governor of Porto
Rico. General Marin is about 80 years
of age.
STIRS UP SPANISH WRATH.
London, Dec. 15.-The Times today,
commenting on the Cuban situation, ex-
Dresses the hope that the Spaniards will
continue to disregard the vituperation of
the jingo senators and abstain from ini-
tating them,'' adding: 'The American
government maintains correct and neu-
trail attitude, and as long as it does so
Spain can afford to smile at Senator
Chambers off-hand recognition of the
Cuban republic
The Globe, this afternoon, says:
''When these wild men rave at England,
British feeling regards them as amusing
.unatices, whose grotesque antics do not
carry danger TO either country. But the
Spanish are more easily inf1amed to
anger, and there is some danger of Spain
falling into the trap when the piratical
Laurada reaches Valencia. Spain has
endured much contumacy from the great
republic; but there are many indications
that this passive submission to insult
will not last much longer 1t would be
well, therefore, for the Washington gov
ernment t. place restraint upon Senator
Chandler and his colleagues. If Spain
decided to uphold her honor by arms a
naval war might have results not at all
agreeable to the American chauvinists."
