Said That General Marin Will Be Placed
in Command.
MADRID, Dec. 16.-According to sur
face indications, Captain General Wey-
Ter will soon be relieved of his COM
mand in Cuba. The discomfort with
Weyler is noticeable even in the
government organs. They say that
instead of going to Havana to re-
ceive an unmerited ovation, he ought
to have continued the military opera
tions in the province of Pinar del Rio.
1t is currently reported that the
government is disposed to replace Wey-
Ter by General Marin, now governor of
Porto Rico.
General Marin has seen considerable
military service in the cause of Spain,
participating in the last Cuban war. At
that time he had for adversaries on the
insurgent side some of the men who
figure prominently in that service to-
day. General Marin came to Cuba
permanently with Martinez Campos
when the latter was appointed captain
general of the island. He acted as
captain general when Campos was in
the field against the insurgents, and
when Campos was recalled as the result
of the dissatisfaction of the Spanish
government with his campaign, Marin
took his place during the interregnum
between the departure of Campos and
the arrival Of Weyler. With the lat
ter's advent Marin was appointed gov
ernor of Porto Rico General Marin is
about 90 years of age.

Attention of Officials Called to the Re-
cruiting for Cuba.
WASHINGTON, Dec l6.-The atten.
tion of officials here has been attracted
by the stories coming from all portions
OF the country indicating that enlist
ments are going on of parties of men to
go to Cuba to join the insurgents in
their struggle against the Spaniards.
These anlistments are in direct violation
of the neutrality laws and are prohib.
tied under severe penalties. For &C.
cepting commission to serve against
Spain, a country with which the United
States is now at peace, the penalty pre-.
scribed by sec. 1891, Revised Statutes, is
81 900 fine and three years imprison.
ment. while for enlistment to serve
against Spain or hiring anyone to en-.
list, the penalty is almost as heavy.
being maximum of $1,000 fine and
three years imprisonment. The en-.
forcement of these laws naturally falls
within the functions of the United
States official to whose knowledge the
attempt at infringement is brought,
but if the movements continue on as
large scale as reported, it is probable
that the department. of justice will send
instructions of special character to all
of its agents calling their attention to
the proclamation issued by the presi-
dent last spring and enjoining upon
them strict enforcement of the neu-
trality laws.
