THE SPANISH VIEW.
Explanation Made of Weyler's Re-
turn to City of Havana.
Business to Attend to and Cannot
Waste Time Chasing Insurgents.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Tbe dispatch
from Jacksonville, Fla, reciting that a
cipher telegram he's been received from
Havana stating that General Weyier was
driven to return to Havana through fear,
Is discredited here. The spanish view CT
the return OF General Weyler is entirely
different. In the first place it is said that
no cipher tels gram can be sent from
Havana except by Representatives Of
foreign governments to the government (
they represent. This, IL is explained,
would be true OF any place in the island /.
Again, IL is pointed out, that Genera
Weyer IL not only commanded OF the
troops, but governor-generslo OF Cuba and
in Havana there IL a large amount Of
Official business awaiting his attention.
IT is stated that in the campaign just
msdc welyer has been close to the strong
holds of the insurgents, has passed
through many towns and destroyed iu-
surgent supplies. From the spanish
point of view the war at present has re-
solved itself into chasing small bodies OF
insurgents apout the country, and IL
would be absurd for the captain-geusrai
TO put himself at the head of one COM
psny or another Of the troops and follow
the struggling bands OF insurgents from
one cover to another.

A STORY BY WA Y OF LLUSrRA TION
Once upon tine a man who wss
running breathlessI7 was stopped short
by jumping plump into fellow citizen.
"whai's the matter?" inquired the fell
low-citizen OF the breathl.ss man.
"Wny," gasped the breathIess man, ga
chap back there was going to kick me. {"
"weli, well, my man." urged the Eel.
low-ci,j<en, "Don't oother any more
abcnt it. lie didn't kick you, did neg
And he can't kick you now, can he? Yeu
are safe, amt you? No harm is done, is
there?"
"Oh, yes" admitted the breat HESS man.
"Pm all .ight now, suppose, so far as the
kick is con cerned. hut that amt really
the worst trouble. You see he gave me a
black eye before he threatened to kick
me and I've got the black eye now. 1t
hurts awiuI, / can tell you."
The moral Of this little tale IL clear
enough. The country il safe from free
silver but the abomina ole Democrats
tariff is still in operation and the country
is not recovered from that black eve nor
will IL without an application of the
usual remedy. Il still hurts.
