the Country.
Newspaper Articles in Question
Not Allowed to BE Tele-
graphed Abroad.

MADRID, Jan. 2s-The Dia, referring
to the attacks of the Heraldo and I'M
parcial on Captain General Weyler,
says it is possible that they may result
in a cabinet crisis and that many peo-
pie believe there will be a change of
policy.
A meeting Of Spanish generals was
held to consider these newspaper ar
ticles, the full text of which was not
allowed to be telegraphed abroad, for
fear of causing dismay among the
troops in Cuba and encouraging the
friends of the insurgents III the United
States.
1t is persistently asserted that de-
cision has been reached to relieve Cap
tain General Weyler of his funtions,
but that the premier, Senior Canovas
del Castillo, has suspended to order.
All the ministers met at the premier 8
residence in order to discuss the matter.
A feeling of general public indignation
prevails 1t is asserted that the SOL
diers are suffering from hunger, ex-
posure and lack of medical care, while
nobody seems to know what becomes OF
the money sent from Spain.
