THE SHAFTS CHARACTER.

Chicago. May 2.-Frederick II. Wins
ton. who spent the year of 1856 mt Te-
hcran as United States minister to Per
STA. speaks in terms of admiration of
the murdered monarch.
'The death of the shah is to be de-
plorcd." Mr. Winston said. "He was
nd-hcartcd, intelligent and filled with
progressive ideas that would have bene-
fitted this country immensely had he

assembled the throne when boy, with
the limited education in mathematics
and Persian literature gained in the ma

this form of sport the shah maintained
large game reserves. where he visited
every summer.
Speaking of the succession to the va
cant throne Mr.. Winston expressed the
belief that revolution was among the
possibilities for Persia. The oldest son
is not the heir apparent. owing to the
fact that his mother was not of royal
blood
This SON. Mr.. Winston said, 'is
about 81 years old and very popular
among the army officers. He is highly
educated. a man of boundless ambition
and great energy. and is imbued thor
oughly with ideas as progressive AZ his
fathers were. For years he has been
close observer of foreign affairs and has
special agents travelling all over the
world to aid him in keeping posted on
the worlds progress. Not knowing the
circumstances under which the assassina-
ton took place | am not justified, per

His headquarters are about two days
journey from Teheran, and if he should
choose to move on the capital with the
army behind him he could reach there
a week before the heir apparent could
reach the scene"

cured by 10 men in seven squads. -,
In telegram from Gwelo Cecll
Rhodes says that Matabeles will get

volt had not occurred.
A dispatch from Palapie TO the Times,
dated Saturday. says: Trustworthy ma
tives report that two white outlaws,
named Dixon and Grobber, are assisting
the Mata beles in their operations.
King Khama, the friendly chief. be-
lieves that the Matabeles are divided in
their counsels and will therefore not
make a concerted attack on BuluwayO.
His account reports that the Matabeles
are likely to retire to the Zambesi before
the arrival of the relief column at BULL
wayo.
King Khama complains that his peo-
pie are ruined 1y famine and by the
death of their cattle. This is true, and
on that account the authorities ought
to prepare measures of relief.

The Daily Telegraph also has a dis
patch from Buluwayo. dated Friday,
which reports an interview with f. C.:
Selous. He believes that the natives will
retire north anu that it will be difficult to
follow them through the thick forests.
He expects that there will be dangerous
guerilla fighting in the MatOppo hills.
The Matabeles must be punished, says
Mr.. Selous, and examples made of them
before any peace proposals are enter
tanned. Otherwise it will be quite I'M
safe for the whites for many years. The
outlook, therefore, is still serious, the
field of operations being unlimited.

EMBARRASSING TO SPAIN.

/ y ~ y.
New York, May "A special 10 the
World from Madrid says:
General Weyler's declarations in Ha-
yana are very embarrassing for the Mad
rid government. and have caused an I'M
favorable impression in Spain, as they in
crease the perpleXity of the governing of
the classes and of the cabinet itself.
Gen. Weyer stated that he was OPP
posed 10 Cuban autonomy and would not
undertake to carry out extensive reforms
during the insurrection, but that If the
government considered il proper 10 intro
ducc some reforms. either as adminlstra-
tive or economical. he would observe
them. though in his opinion the rebels
were encouraged by such promises, and
he thought they ought to be postponed I'M
til the rebellion is crushed
This opinion of Gen. Wcyler is backed
by Romeo RebOllOdO. Premier CanoVas
has consulted during the present week
with Marshal CampOs and several other
generals and high civil officers, and all OF
these, with no exception, recommended
the best forms of military action in Cuba.
Gen. Weyler recently stated that he
required two years at least to paclfy CUBA:
Premier CanOvas knows that many OF
the Conservatives in the next parliament
will advocate a reform policy, especially
in view of the adequate results of Gen.
Weyler's military operations so far,
and because public opinion in Spain
is visibly favorable to any honorable and
direct understanding with the colonies
which will put a stop to the sacrihces OF
the mother country.
Canovas is formulating a statement OF
policy which will be embodied in royal
speech for the meeting of parliament on
May H. 1t will propose to allow Gen;
Weyler to remain in command and will
offer some substantial satisfaction to the
aspirations of the majority of Cubans.
