HAVANA. March G.-The captain
general Of Cuba, General vRleriano
Weyler, has issued another proclama-
don, OF which the following is a trans
lGfi0n:
my attention has been drawn to the
frequency with which the civil and mil
tray authorities and the army officers
in the country and towns proceed to ar
rest citizens who are afterwards placed
at my disposal TO be depOrted from the
island without reasonable cause for
such measures, and. having pointed out
In my previous circulars the charges
pertaining to war Jurisdiction and the
formalltles for trials, have decided TO
exact, In accordance with said circulars.
that arrests must be justified with NIL
reasons and proofs possible, so as to
proceed with oil Justice against the
prisoners.
Therefore. the authorities and army
officers will so order in every case OF
any one who Is arrested without proofs
enough to establish his guilt, written
Information must be made with all the
facts that can possibly be had through
verbal or confidential information.
These requisites will be more exacted
In the towns, where all loyal people
must contribute to them, as safety
there Is greater and as In so doing they
will assist the authorities TO re-estah-
lish order and peace by cooperating In
n strict compliance with Justice Tor
which line has been traced by me.
Thee Informations and material
proofs will be sent 20 this ofiiee 20 pro
ceed accordingly. II being understood
that will hold strictly responsible any
of1cer who does not furnish the proofs
required In the cases mentioned
The resolutions recently adopted by
the Importers OF Cienfeungos fRVoTtnB
recognitlou Of the insurgents are re-
garded as haBty. as not likely TO have
any effect, aud they will not, II Il ON
cially stated. be seconded by any other
importers OF the island.
Upon the occasion Of n visit which
General weyIer paid to the Casino rs,
'lusprsaId sql Gup-o1 'siSp touuu
Francisco Santos GuZemnn. in receiv-
ing his DISTINGUISHED visitor, made
abort address. In the course OF which he
said: II have come In the name OF the
CaElno 10 protest against the Injurious
caiumnies OF some American senators
toward Spain and toward her worthy
representatives on this Island. and AZ
the same time 20 protest against the
resolutions OF both houses OF the United
States Congress In favor OF recognlsinS
a belllgerents hOr1es Of rebels, In so
doing they are voting against the rights
OF our. people and make manifest lncR
OF consideration for Spanish loyalty
and friendship. We relterate our un-
conditional adhesion 10 the government
OF Spain and TO the person OF her
worthy representatives at whose side
we are and win be with all we have.
General weyler. In reply, thanked the

Not AHtonIshed.
Referring 10 the ailtsed Injurious
"calumnies and insults OF the enemies
OF Spain and their sympathizers." the
