Talk With the President.

LONDON, March 15.-The CORE
spondent of the London Times" in the
United States, George w. Smalley,
gives his impressions to-day as gather
ed from a conversation with President
Mckinley
With reference to the arbitration
treaty, the President is quoted as say
ing: There is no subject on which 1
feel more strongly. I abide by every
word of my address,
Smalley adds: The President is for
the treaty as originally presented to
the Senate, or at least without any
amendment affecting it's efficiency He
showed real interest and knowledge of
foreign affairs and does not intend to
take any new departure in regard to
Cuba.
He is still confirmed protectionist.
but he recognizes that circumstances
have altered and there will be no return
to the tariff of 1890. He has very ear
nest and strong views as to his duty
regarding bimetallism and will do his
utmost to promote it and exhaust all
means to secure an international agree
ment, believing that prosperity depends
upon it. This, however, does not i'm
ply that he is any less firm in his re-
solve to maintain the gold standard
The impression the conversation gave

LOOKS BAD FOR SPAIN.
SPANISH TROOPS CONCENTRATE
ING AT HAVANA.
Belief That Weyler's Order is But the
Beginning of the Abandonment
of the Island.

| NEW YORK, March ia dispatch
to the Sun" from Havana says: The
concentration of the Spanish forces at
the Cuban seaport by order of General
Weyler is but the beginning of the
abandonment of the island. The inter-
! Tor towns will soon be left defenseess
and will fall into the hands of the insur-
gents or be reduced to state of anar-
| chy.
| General Weyler explains this strange
measure by saying that it is only
precaution imposed by the coming
rainy season in order to protect the
| Spanish soldiers as much as possible
from the ravages of the yellow fever.
| But the explanation is in no way salts
| factory. as yellow fever is far more
| formidable on the sea coast than in the
healthier parts of the island.
Private letters received from Madrid
| have convinced persons here that the
question now before the Spanish Gov
eminent to decide is which of the two
| colonies shall be retained-the Philip
! pines or Cuba. Both cannot be re-
| tanned under the present conditions by
! Spain, exhausted and penniess as she
/ is.
| The news published in some Ameri-
can newspapers that General Julio
| Sangully intends soon to join the in
surgent forces has created deep indig-
nation among the Spanish here against
| their Government. which they openly
| accuse of cowardice in the face of in
solent American demands. They de-
clare that the release of Sanguilly puts
Spain in the attitude of cringing to the
| Yankees and proves that the Spanish
Government is too weak to make stran-
gers respect the law in Cuba
The news that the Spanish Govern
ment desires Weyler's resignation
though carefully suppressed by the press
| censor. has been known to the general
public and is much commented upon
Day by day the outlook for the Span
/ ish cause becomes blacker. There is
much talk over the fact that General
| declaration that he was going to take
personal command of the army in the
province of Santa Clara. is still in the
| city of Havana His resignation can
not be the cause of his remaining here
as he has not sent it yet
"Weyler neither resigned nor fights"
is the general comment. 1t is known
that he is very busy at the palace send
ing dispatches to Madrid in the hope
to allay the storm against him. and
keep his Office. He does not relish the
idea of returning to Spain under a
cloud.
