wFyLER INTERVIEWED.
bloody Butcher Gives His Ideas of
thf, Revolution.

the Revolution.
Havana. Dec. 1.-THE representative
of the United Associated Presses in
this city, had an interview tonight with
Captain General Weyler, who returned
to Havana last night from the pro-
vince of Pinar Del Rio. When asked
concerning his opinion of the campaign
in general, he said that he was very
well satisfied with the course of events,
and expressed the hope that in a short
time there would be a change that
would modify some aspects of the Sit
uation. He was asked concerning the
result of mis- operations in Pinar Del
Rio, and replied that he was pleased
with the outcome. since the rebels in
that province are now broken III into
small bands. and are rapidly losing
ground in the hills, the Spanish forces
dislodging them from their hiding
places.
Regarding the effects that would ne
produced in the rebel ranks and among
rebel sympathizers by the death of Ma
Geo, the captain general said it would
be demoralizing. since Maceo's prestige
among them was very great. he was
filled with the fighting spirit, was a
dashing commander, and was always
ready to give battle to the SDaniards
when the time and opportunity suited
him. The prestige of a leader was an
important factor for the insurgents.
When one disappeared, the others were
seized with decentralization and disor-
ganization followed. a fact that would
be taken advantage of by the Spanish.
General Weyler cited several examples
of the effect produced by the ranks of
the rebels by the death of some of
their leaders.
Speaking OF Rios Rivera, whom
it is supposed will succeed Maceo in
command in Pinar del Rio. General
Weyler remarked that he was now at
the head of the insurgent parties in
that province. He added that Rivera
had no history as a leader of men. nor
did he have the capacity to lead his
forces. He had reason to believe that
he would not resist the Spanish troops
very long. and thought it would take
20 days more to terminate the insurrec-

The Burden.

To every one on earth
God gives a burden. TO be carried down
The road that lies between the cross and
crown:
No lot is wholly free,
He giveth one to thee.
Some carry it aloft.
O7en and visible to any eyes:
And all may see its weight and form and
Some hide it in their breast
And deem it thus unguessed.
Thy burden is Gods gift.
And It will make the bearer calm and
strong;
Yet. lest It press too heavily and long.
f1e says: Cast Il on me-
And it shall easy be"
And those who heed his voice.
And seek to give it back in trustful
prayer,
Have quiet hearts that never can de-
spair.
Ard hope Fights up the way
Upon the darkest day.
Take thou thy burden thus
Into thy hands and lay il at Christ's feet
And whether it be sorrow, or defeat,
OR pain, or sin, or care,
Oh. leave it calmly there.
1t is the lonely load
That brushes out the l:fe and light of
But. borne with him. the soul restored,
forgiven,
Sings out. through all the days.
Her joy and Gods high praise

THE TURKISH TROUBLES.
Washington Officials Claim to Be Ig-
nornnt of Any Movements.

New York, Dec. 12.-The Sun special
from Washington says: State depart
ment officials here claim to know moth
ing regarding the agreement reached
by the powers for intervention in the
eastern question, but say that until
the British foreign Office makes public
its terms and notifies the representa-
tiveS of the various foreign countries
having legations in London the state
department cannot be advised by Am
bassador Bayard of the news.
1t is said that while intimation has
been received that progress was being
made between Russia, France and
Great Britain which promised salts
factory settlement of the whole Turk
ish problem, so sudden determination
to inform the sultan of the ultimatum
was not anticipated.
The prevalent impression here, and,
especially at the state department,
which is kept thoroughly advised when
anything occurs in Europe regarding
Turkey, is that the sultan will accept
the propositions to be submitted by
the powers and promptly acquiesce in
all demands made of him.
In the event of coercion being en-
ployed the attitude of the United States
will be one of strict neutrality. 1t viii
not Immediately permit our ships to
follow the European fleets through the
straits, but will keep the vessels under
Admiral Selfridce in close proximity
so that no opportunity be lost to give
prompt aid 10 American interests in
the interim following the entrance of
the fleets and the assumption of con-
troll of affairs at ConstantinoDle by
the powers.
Should the fleets be compelled to
force the straits. it is believed by the
navy department that the vessels of
the United States squadron would fol-
low soon afterward in order to be at
hand off Constantinople to enforce de-
mands that might follow from Minister
Terrell for protection by the porte of
American interests in the city. The
passage of the fleet, however, on a mis-
sion the officials here say could not be
construed by the powers as a desire
to cooperate with them in the re-
formation programme. but simply in
pursuance of the policy of the govern
ment to send warshiDs to CONSTANT
nople at any time when it was believed
that their presence was mandatory TO
assist the minister. Every move and
development from now on relating to
the eastern question will be watched
by the Washington authorities with the
