General Weyler for some time has been
the subject of interesting speculation and
study on all sides as to his character and
as to his plans in his new Office Of captain
general.
An observer concludes that his counte.
nance reveals the real military character
and shows him TO be endowed with a very
superior intelligence.
lie knows the character of the Cubans
we'll. tho knowledge having been gained
by former residence among them, and
has clear ideas on the necessities Of the
situation.
The new captain general allows It TO be
announced that no will dedicate all Of his
energies before everything else TO the pur
suit of the warfare against the insurgents,
hoping by this to establish an early peace.
lie announces himself an adherent OF the
energetic policy favored by the Conserva-
tivcs OF both Cuba and Spain. He will
not. however, be guided by party consid-
erations while the rebellion lasts. He I'M
derstands that his whole mission is 60
make an end Of the war.
He dcprecatos the idea that no has any
intontion of putting into force cruel prae.
ticcs such course being entirely against
his sentiments, but no asserts very OK
plicitly that he will be as hard and severe
with the onemies of Spanish sovereignty
as circumstances require not only with
those with arms I'm their hands in the
field, but with those in the city working
harm among tho friends of Spain. lie
comes TO do Justice as consists with the
position Of "a royal governor.
He Promises Justice.
He announces that nc will give a hear
ing and will attentively listen to all who
approach him TO give counsel and will
then do what he deems just and most suit
able.
Tho captain general gives It to be I'M
dcrstood that he relies greatly upon the CO.
operation OF the loyal inhabitants of the
island and upon tho patriotism of the
volunteers upon whom he relics to dedi-
cate all their talents and energy toward
making an end OF the rebellion. He ex-
poets also valuable assistance from Gener-
ais Pando and Borics the Marquis Ahu-
mazda, Generals Ochando, Arola, Bernal,
MclQuizO and the other generals already
engaged in fighting on the island.
The press General Weyler further an
nounces, will have all suitable liberty, the
publication being prohibited only Of that
which refers TO the movements OF the
troops and Of that which directly fayors
the rebels
IL Is obvious that General Weyler's pres
enco has produced magnificent effect
due not only to his presence, but 10 his
talks and proclamations, and it is the gem
eral opinion that the spirit Of the Spanish
sympathizers has been greatly raised.
