HAVANA, Jan. 1S.-The civil governor of
the province of Havana. through his secre-
tary, Senior Francisco Calvo Munoz, and
the chief of the treasury department., Senior
Miguel Cabezas, admitted late this after
noon that they have received cable mes
sages from Madrid announcing that a sue
cessor to Marshal Martinez de Campos
will be appointed in the person of General

pect his arrival shortly at Havana to as

A MINISTER RESIGNS
MADRID, Jan. 1S.-Owing to the recall
in some quarters ''dismissaP' Is the word
used-of Marshal Martinez de Campos
from the aptain-generalship of Cuba, the
duke of Tetuan, minister for foreign
affairs, has resigned. He will be succeeded
by Senior Ell Duayen.
A REIGN OF BLOOD.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The announce
ment of the appointment of Gen. Valeriano
Weyler as captain-general of Cuba was re-
ceived at Cuban headquarters here as con-
firmatory of the view they had already ex-
pressed upon the news Of Campos' retire.
ment, that there had been radical change
in the policy of the Spanish cabinet, and
that henceforth there is to be reign of
blood and terror in Cuba. The change in
the cabinet itself, in the retirement of the
duke of Tetuan and the succession of
Senior ell Buayaden as minister of foreign
affairs is regarded as still further confirm
ing this idea. General Weyler is veteran
soldier and has had his own experience in
Cuban revolutions, for he followed the for
tunes of the Spanish army in Cuba for
years during the last revolution, with the
rank of colonel, and earned for himself a
dreadful reputation as a man of blood and
iron.
Moreover, the Cuban leaders here hint at
actions of cruelty to women and defense
less prisoners in his past in fashion that
augurs ill for the rebels who come within
his power, and they predict that he will
soon become involved in trouble with the
United States government as the result of
ill treatment of American citizens who
may be unfortunate enough to fall under
suspicion. General Weyler quilted Cuban
ground soon after the suppression of the
last rebellion, and has since dwelt in
Spain, holding the important position of
captain-general of the province of Cata-
lonia.

me and might be hurtful to SPAIN"

latter was sent for. General Weyler will
