denial of the reports that he would re-
sist removal from his command in Cuba,

pouse the Carlist cause. He said, ac-
cording TO official account: MY prin-
ciples and my military record are firm
guarantees that will never oppose the

pressing their approval OF General Wey-

Affirmative doctrines radically de-
structive OF long established opinion
are freely proclaimed, while a whole
brood of pessimistic philosophers pro-
claim the early collapse of the social
state. This affirmation is based upon
the real or the assumed fact that in
our material progress the just rights
of the many are being sacrificed 20 the
unfair advantage of the few. The rich,
they say, are growing richer; the poor
are growing poorer. Wealth is tending
TO concentrate into relatively fewer
hands. Invention Is displacing labor:
the dependence Of the masses is in
creaslng. Things cannot go on after
this fashion, the climax is at hand. If
this were all true. IL the facts alleged
were facts indeed. thicgs ought to
go on. The climax ought 10 be reached
and that speedily. even IL il were to cost

But the allegations are not true; they are
contrary to the natural order and are at
variance with the real facts Of the case.
Indeed, they are impossible in free
state Of society. | know they are tier

quarters. The press and the pulpit

WEYLER TO SAGASTA.

Madrid, Oct. 9-In the course OF the
cable message sent by Captain General
Weyler to Premier Sagasta, placing his
post in Cuba at the disposal Of the gov
ernment he said: IF the functions
with which the government had entrust-
ed me had been merely those of governor
general of Cuba should have hastened
to resign. but the two-fold character OF
my mission and my duty as commander
in-chief In the face Of the enemy prevent
my rendering a resignation. Neverthe-
less, although can rely upon the abso-
lutte. unconditional support of the au-
tonomist and constitutional parties, as
we'll as upon public opinion, this would
be insufficient without the confidence of
the government, now more than ever
necessary to me after the censure of
which / have been made the object by
the members and journals of the Liberal
party, and by public opinion in the
United States, which latter is largely in
fluenced by the former. This confidence
would be necessary 10 enable me to put
an end TO the war. which has already
been virtually concluded from our lines
at Jucaro to Cape San Antonio"
Mr.. Sagasta replied: II thank you for
your explanation and value your frank
ness. I wish TO assure you that the gov
ernment recognizes your services and
values them as they deserve: but II
thinks n change OF policy, in order TO
succeed. requires that the authorities
should he as one with the ministry
This has nothing to do with the conf
dence felt in you by the government, for

responsibility for a given policy does not
fall upon those who carry II out, but
lupon the government inspiring it.
