JACKSONVILLE. FLA, June "a
special from Tampa. Fla, 20 tho Citizen
says: A letter dated on the 18th. received
here from Guines. about thirty miles from
Habana, by prominent Cuban, treats
Weyler's pacincation in the following sar-
castle manner:
This is a headquarters for insurgents
whose. camp is about half milo from
the city, and I have witnessed much that
reveals the pacification. The other day
a number Of carts came out Of the city
loaded with material TO build houses lu
the zone OF cultivation reserved for th.
'reconcentrados.' They had scarcely como
out before they were captured by lnsur-
gents. In the same zone the Insurgents
captured the stage coming from San Joe
de las Lajas. In the hills OF Del Grilio
the official report tells Of big fights.
What Il this? Well | know that there
occurred a severe fight. and the Spaniards
got the worst OF II. losing one lieutenant
colonel, one major, two captains. and
is priyates. All this happened this week
I'm the pacihed province OF Habana.
Il have seen q convoy composed OF
four batteries of cannon and two regl-
ments of infantry pass and | hear of
still another battle near here SO you
see we don't believe much in Valeriano's
pacification."

HAVANA, CUBA, June 5.-Weyler has
returned 10 Havana, and says he is ready
to embark for Spain, leaving the Marquis
of Ahumada in command. as soon as the
news comes that Liberal Cabinet is in
power in Spain. The guuboat Legaspi, on
which Weyler came, brought large num-
ber of Spanish officers who have been Sc
verely wounded in Santa Clara province.
NEW YORK, N Y, June 5.-The Jour
nails Washington correspondent says:
The President has decided 20 send a note
TO Spain formally offering mediation on
the basis of Cuba's independence and the
payment of suitable indemnity. The
note is already drafted and merely await
ing Calhoun's report. An un!avorable
report by him is the only contingency
which would cause the President to
change his determination to send II.
The correspondent, continuing, says:
This information is derived from sources
which do not admit # question. 7 e
President has himself outlined the main
features OF his policy to friends during the
present week. To one OF these he said :
This bloody war must stop. The situa-
tion does not al nit OF delay"
The correspondent says that the Presi-
dent will give Spain thirty days in which
TO reply TO this formal offer. Should
Spain reply unfAvoraby he will send a
mes age to Congress automatically word
ed, but practically advising force.
The San Francisco call., 1897-06-06

fiasco has convinced the whole country OF
guilt much blacker and more widely dis
tributed than before imagined. The ex-
planalion of the true inwardness OF the
situation, which was first limited at In
these dispatches a week ago, is now gen
orally accepted The fact that royalty,
even the Prince OF Wales himself, had
known of the plotting against the Trans
vaal is not accepted, however, as suffi-
cient to justify the hum bugging OF the
nation by buriesque inquiry.
Even The Speaker, which, although a
Liberal organ, has been extremely lenient
in dealing with the South African scan
daI, expresses the prevailing change in
public sentiment when it says to. day:
when a man who is being black
mailed not only neglects to vindicate his
character and expose the alleged black
mailers, but taxes a course which vir-
tually shields them from justice, the
world is inclined to place a very black
construction upon his conduct Chamber
lain himself is alone to blame if he is now
judged unfavora oily. We have not
hitherto joined with those who con-
demned him because of his part in this
wretched business, but We must say
frankly he is bound 10 vindicate himself,
and if be cannot do SO it is Clearly his
duty to place his resignation in the hands
of the Prime Minister. Nothing more
discreditaole than the collapse of the
South African committee has happened
in lie recent history of Parliament"
