New York. Oct. IA dispatch 70 the
Herald from Havana says: The Herald
correspondent is informed on high au-
thority that Captain General Weyler
has sent his resignation TO Madrid, to
take effect as soon as practicable. Cen
eral Weyler's re=igna ton is one Of the
results of the resignation Of the Azcar-
faga ministry and is due to his belief
that a Liberal cabinet will be placed
in power in Spain.
OFFICIALLY DENIED.
Havana. Oct. 1.-The correspondent
mere Of the Associated Press has inves-
tiSated The report, printed in New York
today, from this city, via Key West,
saying that Captain General Weyler has
sent mis- resignation TO Madrid, 10 take
effect as soon as practicable, and has
been informed from the best sources
available that up to the present, mo-

OVATION TO SAGASTA.
Madrid, Oct. 1.-The Liberals are pre-
pairing TO give an ovation to Senior Sa-
CASA, their leader, upon his arrival
heie. 1t is taken for granted that he
will form cabinet, of which probably
Senior Gamazo will be minister for for
-eign affairs, Senior Moret Y. Prendergast
minister for the colonies and General
Correa minister for war, although Senior
Moret Y. Prendargast has been mention
ed for appointment as Spanish minister
a Washington TO succeed Senior Dupuy
de LONE. It is now expected that the
cabinet crisis will be ended in less than
d week.
THE CABINET MEETING.
Washington, Oct. 1.-The first meeting
OF the cabinet since the return of the
president from Massac husetts was held
today, and was attended by every men,
Der except Secretary Gage, who is not in
Washington. The meeting lasted longer
than usual in explanati ton Of which fact
81 was said that several Of the cabinet
members were present for the first time
in many weeks and naturally they
eought to inform themselves fully upon
the condition Of affairs upon their return.
Foreign affairs occupied the greater por-
ton fine time given up to discussion,
though the prosecution of the govern
ment's case against the Union Pacific
yailroad also came in for good deal OF
consideration. Indeed, it is said that the
only action Of the cabinet today was in
the discussion Of closing up this issue,
and it can he stated that the details Of
the plans of the government have been
arranged ar last.
The Spanish crisis attracted much at
tention and was discussed al some
length. For some rea son Minister Wood
ford has still left his government off,
cially unadvised Of the recent happen
ings in Madrid, and nothing has been
heard from him since his interview with
the duke of Tetuan. the Spanish minis
ter for foreign affairs in the last cabi-
net This fact compelled a reliance upon
the newspaper reports of the recent i'm
p7rtant events in Spain. II may be
said that there seems to be a general
belief among the members Of the presd-
dents official family that the Madrid
crisis, if not making for our good, can
not be expected to injure our relations
with Spain This belief is based upon
the idea that if a Conservative cabinet
succeeds the Azcarraga ministry the
worst that can happen will be a con-
tinuation Of the present line Of policy,
for Spain is too near an end Of her f.
nancial resources 10 put forth more
strenuous efforts 10 subdue the Cubans. !
On the other hand. II is believed that
Liberal ministry will almost certainly |
offer good opportunity for bringing the |
present war 20 an end. !
