Talk of Replacing WeyIer.
MADRID, December 15.-The report that
captain General Weyler has ordered pro-
ceedlngs to be taken against Major Cru
Jeda, because the major, after the death
OF Antonio Maceo, went to Havana with
out the permission of his superior officers,
Is causing discomfort here, owing to the
popularity of Cirujeda. Although the min
listers maintain reserve on the subject it is
stated that the cabinet may consider this
question, and it is further stated that the
ministers may also discuss the execution
of General Weyler's plan of campaign,
which is criticised ii certain quarters.
1t has been decided at the cabinet coun-
Gil to purchase the British transport Prince
of Wales.
The impartial says that the ministers
have no knowledge of Captain General
Weyler having taken any action against
Major Cirujeda, and regard it as being i'm
probable.
The Imparcial also says that the report
that Captain General Weyler is shortly
TO be replaced is not confirmed.
London Newspaper Comment
LONDON, December 15.-The Times to-
day commenting on the Cuban situation,
expresses the hope that the Spaniards will
continue to disregard the vituperation of
the jingo Senators and abstain from imi-
tating them,' adding:
'The American government maintains a
correct and neutral attitude, and as long
as it does so Spain can afford to smile at
Senator Chandler's off-hand recognition of
the Cuban republic"
The Globe this afternoon says:
When these wild men rave at England
British feeling regards them as amusing
lunatics. whose grotesque antics do not
carry danger to either country. But the
Spanish are more easily infiamed to anger,
and there is some danger of Spain falling
into the trap when the piratical Laurada
reaches Valencia. Spain has endured much
contumely from the great republic; but
there are many indications that tis pas
sive submission to insult will not last much
longer. 1t would be we'll, therefore, for the
Washington government to place restraint
upon Senator Chandler and his colleagues
If Spain decided to uphold her honor by
arms a naval war might have results Lot
at all agreeable to the American ohauvi-
nists''
