Rumors Of Possible Intervention In Cuba
stirs Up The Impartial.
MADRID, Oct. l9.-Commenting upon
the statement contained in . dispatch
from Washington that President Cleve-
land intends to intervene in Cuba in .
manner tantamount to the recognition
Of the independence Of the insurgents,
The Imparcial declares that Spain ought
to demand . full explanation Of the
Washington government. 'She cannot
brook such . threat over her head, I"
continues The Imparcial, "even for .
single day. By what right do the
United States define the time for Spain
to settle question Of her internal ad-
ministration? It must be affirmed be-
fore the whole world that the American
government cannot impose any sort Of
terms upon us.'

castle, and in the latter place there
were
Signs Of Great Excitsmsnt.
Slowly the Vigilancia entered the
mouth Of the harbor and then it was
noticed that the guns Of Moro were
turned on the ship. The vigilancia
repeatedly signalled Moro castle, II am
going to sea-" but no answer came
from the fort until the vessel was in
blue water and then the Spaniards ran
up the signal which means Goodbye. "
It is said that Weyler is furious over
the departure Of the vessel and Consul
Lees course. 1t is stated Weyler or.
dered the commandant Of Moro castle
to sink the Vigilancia, but that at the
last moment he yielded to the entreatiea
of his cabinet and countermanded the
order. The episode caused more ex.
citement in Havana than anything
since the beginning Of the war.
