wEYLER's RESIGNATION RECEIVED by cANovAs
ANXIETY OVER POSSIBLE INTERVENTION
N cUBA BY THIS COUNTRY
London June 1.-THE Madrid correspondent
Of The Pail Mall Gazette" says:
1T is though. that the Cabinet as at present
constituted viii continue only during the sum-
mer sojourn of the Court at San Sebastian. and
that on the Queen Regents return to the capt.
tai it will he radically changed.
"Sehor Canovas del Castillo denies the re-
port Of the retirement of Captain General Wey-
Ter. but although for the moment he remains
at his post. there is the best reason for belieV-
ing that his resignation has been received by
the Premier. to be accepted or not. as the latter
deems best. according to the circumstances OF
the moment. In the mean time Captain-General
Weyler has sent telegram to the Premier
recommending that municipal elections be held
Immediately in Cuba. This may be the pre-
cursor OF other conciIiatory measures on his
part but Captain General Weyler's antecedents
are not such as to inspire confidence among
the people of the island with regard to his
bona-nde direction OF liberal reforms, nor Is
the present rehabftated Government In posi-
ton 10 keep him long al his post, in view oil Inc
M IN that will have to he followed for a general
pacfcation Of Cuba.
"Reports are current that a private under
standing exists between Senor Canovas ana
Senior Sagasta by the terms Of which the lat
ter is to succeed the former at the proper mo .
rneni. but not at the present critical Junc'ure'
so that the succession to power shall always ne
kept between the two chief parties 10 the eA-
clusion OF the minor factions, inciudihs 'Ne
Carllsts and the Republicans -.
The Madrid correspondent OF "The Standard
says:
THE Madrid papers echo the popular anxiety
and curiosity concerning the attitude wL,ich tne
United States will adopt In the race vi . iso'ns ~
events. The sensation caused py tne epO, . 20 ",
a change OF attitude increased When IL was an !,

can man-of-war. Much suppressed lndigha,loi
can be dscerned between the lines OF press az " u

the idea of American interference III Cupd
.Eycrything shows that Spain is drifting again
into strained relations with the uhlteu o,a.e9. ,
Indeed most Spaniards are conVhced tha' ~ ~
real significance of the issue lies IN the lact
that the Queen Regent has given another uiai @

ANY suggestion of mediation oi any knld
shows but little knowledge of the temper ana
feelings OF the Spaniards. Any such step on

The press affect TO feel confidence IN tne iIIeiuS
