S-Gen Weyler WAS welcomed this after
noon on his return from the field Mt the
Old palace, in front ofthe Plaza deArmas,
by the lenders OF the Spaniarls in Cuba
He talked to his visitors with unusual
freedom about his policy and the war 1t

he has stopped from his habit of com
manding without explanations to n IA

that it was military measure favorable
to Spain. 1t is not my fault if hundreds
OF thousands of people have to die from
the effects Of military measure. did
not provoke this war. The revolutionists
cast the die, and they must stand by the
consequences.
''T, meet the guerrilla warfare the Gu
bans wage against the royal army of
Spain had TO cut off all communication
between the insurgent bands .and the
towns. Such communication allowed the
insurgents to provide supplies for them
selves in the towns to carry on their de-
sultory warfare. The pacificos are link
between the town consprators and the
INSURGENTS. | have severed that link
That is all. am not responsible for the
consequences of n dire but urgent meas
ure imposed by the war
81 believe that the Indignantly of Spain
is so great and the injustice of the revo-
luton SO extraordinary that the insur-
gents and their abettors do not deserve
any consideration. For her loyal sub
iects Spain has reforms; for the rebels

AFTER CANADIAN MINES.
John d. Rockefeller..Trying to Corner the
Nickel OUTPUT

Toronto. Sept. Sit is reported here
to-daythat John ID. Rockefeller, of Stand
ard Oil fame, with other American CAPT
talists, is trying to corner the Canadian
nickel mines. When Prof. Austin Rob.
erts, the nletallurgist of the British mint,
was here at the meeting of the British
Association last month, he made active
Inquiries concerning the deposits of
nickel in Ontario. He also made expert
ments with the ore to ascertain its ability
to withstand penetration by heavy guns.
1t appears to he taken for granted that
IF his report to the imperial government
proves satisfactory some steps will he
taken by the home government to develop
the industry with view to utilizing the
ore in the manufacture of armor plate,
and 1t is not unlikely that this has led to
the present attempt to buy the mines
1t is said that the only hitch in the ne
9otiations OF the Rockefeller syndicate,
which now holds large interests in the
mines is that some independent mine
owners will not sell at the prices offered.
This prevents the syndicate from getting
control OF the market.
