REMOVAL OF wEYLER.
IL Is Desired by the Spanish Con-
servatlves.

NEW ORLEANS. LA, October 10.-A
special cable from Habana says: 'I have
been reliably informed. and have seen a
copy OF a telegram sent by the Spanish
element, the Conservatives, against Gene
raj Weyler, and asking for his removal,
on the ground that his continuance In
office means the sure loss OF the island.
The telegram further recites that large
part of the Cuban element will be will
ing to accept home rule, II with it there
should be appointed another captain
general. There is a, positive assurance
from friends here to the effect that Gene
raj Martinez Campos is willing and
anxious to return to Cuba, but that he
will not come until ne brings the home
rule concessions with him. An under
standing has existed between the Reform
lists here and the government whereby
President-os- s-the-Cabinet Canovas will
send Martinez Campos and the home-rule
concessions, II there Is surrender of
some of the insurgent forces in the field,
sufficient to allow the government TO
state TO the public that the revolution IL
weakening, and that this In itself means
the final end OF the Cuban revolution.
The granting OF the home-rule conces-
sions will for a time retard the ultimate
end. The defeat Of Colonel Bernal and
General Melquizoa a few days ago will
probably bring the ministerial crisis
much quicker

MIR. WATKINS DIES SUDDENLY.
WelI-known Travelling Man Passes
Away After "a Few Hours Illness.

This community was shocked yesterday
when it became known on the streets
that Mr.. A. Judson Watkins. one or
Richmonds best known citizens. had died
suddenly at his home, on the corner OF
Fourth and Grace streets. and in a very
short time his many friends began to
flock to his residence.
While the deceased had not enjoyed the
best OF health for some years, he was
not considered to be sick man, and
hence his sudden demise was totally UNI
expected. He was out on the street Fri
day. He complained some little that
night, but did not himself consider that
he was sick. He retired about his usual
hour. and arose about 7:30 O'Clock yes
terday morning. While In the act or

and died in a very short time.

and when that firm went out OF business
he entered the service OF Drewry. Hughes
& Co. as a travelling salesman. The sad
death of his brother, Mr.. A. Sale Wat
kins, which occurred last winter. was a
severe blow to him, and from II he never
completely rallied. He went away for the
summer spending the heated term at the
mountain resorts He came back on Sep
tember 1Sth and II was thought that his
trip had benefited him.
Deceased was born in Powhatan county
90 years ago last Sunday. He was son
OF Rev. Henry Watkins. prominent Bap-
tist minister OF his day, and had lived
nearly his entire life intthis city. During
the war he was stationed at Charlotte,
N. c., In the Confederate Commissary
Department.
The deceased had a vast number OF
friends not only I'm Richmond. but
throughout the territory ir which he
travelled He was a man who never said
III OF any one. and always had a CHEEKY
greeting for all his acquaintances. He was
genial. kind-hearted, and ever ready 20
do friend or stranger a kindness. He
was most successful in his ayocation, and
held high place I'm the regard of his
firm, being considered one OF the best
statesmen on the road.

childreff-two sons and two daughters.
He had one living brother. Mr.. Charles
