Another Circular by Weyler.
The following circular Gen. Weyler adj
dressed to the military officers:
II have addressed my previous proclama-
lions at the moment Of my landing to the
loyal Inhabitants, to the volunteers and
firemen. and to the army and navy.
Il may give you slight idea of the in
tertions I have and the measures / shall
follow as governor general-in-chief, In ac-
cordance with the general desire of Spain
and with the decided aim of her majesty's
government to furnish all the means re-
quired to control and crush this rebellion.
Knowing this, and knowing my charac-
ter, may, perhaps, need to say no more to
make you understand what is the conduct
that am to follow. But with the idea of
avoiding all kinds of doubt, even keeping
(as you are to keep the circulars to be pub
ilshed, l deem 1t necessary to make some
remarks.
In which the rebellion has come and the
raid made by the principal leaders recently
which could not be stopped even by the ac-
tive pursuit of the columns, is due to the
indifference, the fear or the DISAGREEMENT
or the inhabitants. Since it cannot be
doubted that some, seeing the burning of
their property without opposition, and that
others who have been born in Spain should
sympathize with the insurgents, it is neces-
sary, at all hazards to better this state of
things and to brighten the spirit of the in
habitants, making them aware that 1 am
determined to lend all my assistance to the
local Inhabitants.
Prnising the Rebels Unlawful.
with all its weight upon all those in any
way helping the enemy, or praising them,
or in any way detracting from the prestige
| OF Spain, or its army, or Of it's volunteers
1t Is necessary for those by our side to
| show their Intentions with deeds, and their
! behavior should leave no doubt, and should
| prove that they are Spanish.
| Since the defense of the country demands
the sacrifice of her children, it is necessary
that the towns should look to their defense,
| and that no precautions in the way of
| scouts should be lacking to give news con-
corning the enemy. and whether it is in their
! peighborhood, and so that it may not hap
| pen that the enemy should be better in
| formed than we.
| THE energy and vigor of the enemy will
| be strained to trace the course of our line
! and In all cases you will arrest and place at
| my disposal to deliver to the courts those
| who In any way shall show their sympathy
or support for the rebels
! 1.-The public spirit being encouraged, you
must not forget to enlist the volunteers and
guerrillas IN your districts, not preventing
at the same time the organization, as OPP
portunity offers, of guerrilla band of TWEEN
| ty-five citizens for each battalion of The
| army.
Il propose that you shall make the dis
positions you think most proper for the car
rying out of the plan 1 wish, but this shall
| not authorize you to determine anything
| not foreseen in the instructions unless the
urgency of some circumstances should de-
! mand 1t.
II expect that, combining yourself to these
| instructions, you will lend me your worthy
| support toward the carrying out of my plan
for the good of the Spanish cause.
