General weyler interviewed.

New York, May ga dispatch to
the Journal from Ceinfuegos, Cuba,
says:
In an interview with Captain Gen
eral Weyler, upon his arrival here from
Placeras, in reference to Senator Nor
gan's resolution, the general said:
81 am not surprised with the action
thus far taken, nor shall be if the
house concurs in the senate resolution
and sends it to the president. Your
jngoes are in the saddle, and evidently
bent upon forcing the country into
some foreign complications in order to
distract attention from the fast-ap-
preaching internal crisis:
1.-THE few scattering bands of Cuban
dynamiters, railroad wreckers, horse
and cattle thieves, plantation burners
and highwaymen now in the field here,
who hold no port and possess no seat
Of civil government, have no right to
expect recognition. Such distinction
at President McKinley's hands, issued
in the face of my own proclamation
officially declaring the greater part of
the island to be already pacified, would
hold the Washington executive up to
the ridicule of European powers, and
prompt healthy outburst OF sympathy
for the Spanish cause, especially from
neighboring Old World governments,
also possessing colonies in the West In
dies. In brief. recognition may aid
the Cuban junta in placing few bonds
in the United States, but it will at the
same time assure the successful issue
of our proposed new Spanish loan in
Paris, London and Vienna, and enable
US to carry on the war with renewed
vigor.
Personally, I shall be glad. If rec
ognition comes, our position will then
be more clearly defined. 1t will work
a virtual abrogation of our special trea-
ty with the United States, place Yam
KEGS residing in Cuba in an identical
position before the courts with other
foreign residents, and shall be trou-
bled less by constant complaints and
often ridiculous demands from Ameri-
can consuls. 1t would also relieve the
Spanish government of all responsible
ity for the destruction of foreign prop
erty not actually within the line Of
Spanish defenses, and further simplify
matters by assuring us the right to
board and search American vessels
whenever suspected"
Continuing, the captain-general ex-
pressed delight at the proposition to
have consuls here furnish free trans
portation to all Americans who desire
to go to the United States, but said he
considered the plan to distribute to res
ident Americans as an indirect and un-
justified attempt to interfere in local
affo ira

London, May 24.-The correspondent

The armistice has caused widespread
discomfort among the Turkish troops
in Thessaly and Epirus, and the mill

prominent grumblers to be sent home
under escort. The priests who are with
the army have been instructed to
preach special sermons exhorting the
soldiery to be loyal and obedient. An
imperial order prohibits the sale OF
drawings, photographs or poetry deal
ing with the war, or with the exploits
Of the commanders, the object of the
prohibition being to prevent an indi-
vidual general becoming popular hero.

DEMANDS ON SPAIN.
Venezuela, Mexico and China to Protect
Subjects In Cuba.

Venexuela, Mexico and China to Protect
Subjects In Cuba.
New York. May 26.- A dispatch to
the Journal from Havana says:
In a demand recently made upon
Spain through the Venezuelan consul,
President Crespo's government insists
that citizens of that republic residing
in Cuba shall, in case of arrest upon
political charges, be accorded equal
privileges with citizens of the United
States here, including exemption from
trial by military tribunals and assur-
ances of speedy judgment by civil
courts. Venezuela claims this right
under the favored-nation clause in her
own treaty with Spain, and the point
has been allowed.
= Now Mexico is understood to be
pressing Madrid and Havana authors
ties to have her citizens here accorded
the same privileges. One Trujilio, a
Venezuelan, recently arrested as po-
itical suspect, was released yesterday
at the demand of Consul Punango, on
condition that he leave Spanish terri
tory.
China's Havana representatives have
received instructions from home that
in future the lives and property of Chi
nese residents in Cuba must be re-
spected, otherwise China may concede
belligerent rights to Spain's enemies
in the Philippines.
Private advices from Caracas indi-
cate that President Crespo stands ready
to follow suit in case the Washington
government should finally recognize
the belligerent rights of the Cubans.
Indeed, it was whispered here tonight
that vessel was formally cleared from
Maracaibo some days ago for the re-
bel port of Banes in Eastern Cuba,
loaded with arms and ammunition for
Calixto Garica's army.

Athens, May 24.-M. Ralli, the pre-

''The indemnity which Greece will
pay to Turkey will be in proportion to
the resources of Greece and her finan-
cial position. The cession of territory
is out of the question. Greece cannot
accept modification of the strategic
frontier which would render easy raid
ing of Greek territory by armed bands,
and which would compel Greece to
maintain numerous army in order to
prevent incursions.'

WASHINGTON LETTER
DELAYED BY THE
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS.
Why Business Activity Cannot Resume
Pending Tariff Observation-Disclosures
ing Warrington Gossip-A Reply to

Mr.. Cleveland's Recent Criticism.
e. F. PARSONS, Special Correspondent.
Washington, D. C.-Those Democrats
and Populists who have taken advan-
tage of the suspension of activity pend
ing the tariff legislation to criticise the
Republican part for the "delay of pros
perity," have been knocked out in the
first round by plain statement of facts
by two or three leading Republicans
who show the impossibility of resump-
tion of manufacturing while new tar
iff is pending.
"Of course it is absurd that such
complaint should be made and that
people should think it worth listening
to-" said Chairman Dingley, talking OF
these criticisms. ''It is certainly un.
reasonable to assume that business &C.
tivity in manufacturing lines could re.
vive pending action upon tariff rates. I"
'Is it not fact, Mr.. Dingley, that
the knowledge that a tariff change is
in immediate prospect proves more de.
pressing to the manufacturer than any
other condition."
"Momentarily, yes. do not know
that the word depressing is just the
one, but certainly it does have the eff
feet of making it impossible for him to
make contracts even where he can meet
them, and of making it difficult to get
contracts at all. Dealers are unwill-
ing to make contracts for future deliv-
cry of goods during the pendency of the
tariff bill because they do not know
what the rates of duty on imported
goods of the same class will be. Man
ufacturers are unwilling to make con-
tracts during the pendency Of the tariff
bill because they do not know what
they will have to compete with in for
eign goods nor do they know what they
will have to pay for the raw material
which they bring in from abroad for
use in manufacturing.
$50 the present period is probably
the most difficult one for the manufac-
turer to do business, to say nothing of
the impossibility of increasing business
or adding to the number of employes?"
"Yes. Then it ought to remembered
too that importers are rushing goods
into the country at the greatest possi-
BILE speed. and that nearly a years sup
ply of foreign goods will be in the
warehouses of the country by the time
the new law goes into effect in spite of
everything we can do to prevent it.
This means that the manufacturers will
not be able to resume activity to any
great extent for several months yet.
The people ought to understand this.
I have no doubt that the new law will
bring increased activity in manufactur-
ing, and thus produce prosperity in
every branch of industry. But it is
unreasonable to expect that this can
happen either before the new law goes
into effect or Immediately after il, since
the stock of foreign goods will be SO
great that the demand for home manu-
factures cannot begin until this enor-
nous accumulation Of foreign goods is
absorbed by the people of the country"

A STOCK COMPANY ORGANIZED.
Articles Of Incorporation Were Filed Today
To Be Known as the French Hair Cloth
Company Stock Is 100000

Articles of incorporation of the French
Hair Cloth Company of Pawtucket were
filed today at the Office OF the Secretary OF
State. The incorporators are Harry B..
Jordan, A. j. MacAllen and Otis 3. Pierce.
The new company is capitalized at 100000.
The building owned by the Newell
Stocking Company has been leased and 1t
is the intention to have the plant In oper-
alton within six months.
In the new enterprise there will be 200
looms of the latest pattern, and they are
now being designed by Mr.. MacAllen of
this city. They are calculated to have
more speed and do better work than those
now in use by the American Hair Cloth
Company.
The Campbells of Boston are the chief
consumers of the product of the hair cloth
mills of this country, and the supply is
not equal to the demand. There are only
few hair cloth mills in the United States,
two being in Philadelphia. The hair cloth
is used for furniture and women's skirt
