disc, constitute the trade features Of the

SPANISH EDITOR AFTER FACTS.
He Is Going to Cuba to See the Situation
for His Own Information.


New York, Nov 6.-The Herald prints
an interview with Senor Jose Canalejas,
editor OF Ell Heraldo, whose mission to
the United States and Cuba is expected
to give him additional weight in the
councils Of Spain when he returns
there. The distinguished visitor said:
L have in the first place no official
character here out have spoken ard
written too much on Cuban affairs not
TO believe it political and moral duty
TO determine on the spot the truth or
error Of my opinions. Further / have
the responsibility OF a journal to which
myself contribute, and 1 believe also
that the journeys of political men to
the colonies should not be alone to full
III official functions. So l came to see
the true situation, to make conf
Dental report to my friends of the gov
ernment and to make public use of my
information in the press and in the
cortes. such questions must be studied
on the spot. So after a couple of weeks
In New York 1 shall sail for Cuba and
visit all the provinces of the island"
DO you consider that the recall of
General Weyler was tantamount 20 a
total disapproval OF his acts during his
captain generalship? Is General Blanco
likely, from what you know Of his repu-
tation, to pursue both a more vigorous
and more merciful policy?"
Il think that the present government
has never agreed with the ideas of Cen
erai Weyler, and everybody expected
his recall the day afr the nomination
of Senor Sagasta. Marshal Blaaco and
the generals who accompanied him are
| resolved n har
surgents, but also to follow a policy of
indulgence. and not to be influenced by
suspicious and denunciations AS for
the position OF the United States, I
think that your country has the right
to hold and to express it's views on the
cuban problem, but not to go beyond
that. And it is the expeditions and the
public actions against the rights Of
Spain which have caused the protests
OF the lawyers, of the press and OF vari-
Gus other Spanish elements"
Havana, Nov. 6.-The proclamation Of
Captain General Blanco to the Spanish
army in Cuba, which VIII soon be is
sued. contains the usual exhortations to
the troops in regard to maintaining dis
cipline, etc, and adds that property
should be respected and urges that the
| utmost energy be displayed during the
nghting with the enemy and until vic
tory is achieved. after which the SOL
diers areinstructed toact with clemency
towards the vanquished, taking care Of
and curing the wounded prisoners, who
are to be delivered to the proper mill
tary authorities. Families needing as
sistance. and unarmed people who offer
| no resistance, are to be taken to the
| nearest village and are to receive help
during a stated time, according to or
ders previously issued.

Chicago. Nov. 6.-For forty minutes
Thursday night the fate of the Chicago
horse show hung in the balance. The
largest throng of men and women which
has yet gone down 10 the Coliseum to
see and be seen was surging into the
arena. A dozen saddle horses were cam
tering about the red oval Of the ring
waiting for judges and attendants VINO
came not. The state board Of asri-
culture, in its rooms in the building. was
holding a council OF war to consider
an ultimatum from Manager John A.
Logan, hacked Hp by the judges and
many of the exhibitors. This an
nounced that unless an apology be- rem
dered 70 Logan for insults and in
dignities heaped upon him and the alb
solute management of the exhibition be
turned over to him, neither judges nor
exhibitors would appear in the ring
Thursday hight.
There has been a great deal of friction
between Logan and the state board
from the first and the exhibitors end
those who have guaranteed the state
BOARD against loss OF money have sided
with Logan. One thing done by the
state board was to NAN up the private
passage to the arena from Logan's Of
flee; but the climax came when the gate
keepers refused to let Logan (and Some
friends who had been driving) in at one
of the gates. This settled it and Logan
and the exhibitors held a meeting. at
which resolutions Of apology We're
framed for the state beard to adopt.
These resolution included one turning
over the absolute management to John
a Logan. They were adopted, and the
show goes on.
