PROTEST AGAINST WEYLER.
United States Thought to Have Caused
he CourimartiaI Order.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The full text
of the Spanish reply to the note of
United States Minister Woodford has
reached the state department in the,
last mail and is now under examination
by the officials. 1t will not be made.
public at present. 1t is expected that
the president will make this note and
the correspondence leading up to it the
basis for one of the most important
chapters of his forthcoming message to.
congress upon the reassembling of that
body in December next, and meanwhile
it is not believed to be probable that,
any radical change in policy will char
acterize the correspondence between.
the two countries, unless something
unforeseen occurs.
1t appears that the determination of
the Spanish cabinet to courtmartial
General Weyler, while not directly due
to request of this government, was
probably inspired by an intimation
from the state department that his ut
terances were not calculated to smooth
the way Of the negotiations. Weyler
said he had conducted the war just as
the north did to the south. 1t is sur
missed that by thus acting with prompt
ness the Spanish cabinet has paved 1.-THE
way for counter remonstrance against
the publications of ex-Unlted States
Minister Hannis Taylor. The condi-
lions IN the two cases, however, are
said at the state department to be en-
tirely different. General Weyler, being
a Spanish army officer, is amenable to
discipline Tor any Inference with the
policy of the government, while Mr..
Taylor, being a private citizen, is not
accountable TO his government for his
individual utterance.
