those of governor general of Cuba. I
should have fastened to resign. Rut
the tWofold character Of my mission
and my duty as commander-in-chief
IN the face of the enemy, prevent my
rendering a resignation. Although I
can rely upon the absolute, uncondi-
tlonal support of the Autonomist and
Constltut1onal parties, as we'll as upo-
pubic opinion, this would be INSULT
clent without the confidence of the
government, now more than ever,
necessary to me after the censure of
which l have been made the object
by the members and journals of the
Liberal party and by public opinion
IN the United States, which latter is
iargels nan Gds,,n lnhuenced by the former. This
confidence would be necessary to en-
able me to put an end to the affair
which has already been virtually con-
GUIDED from our lines at Juaraco to
Cape Antonio"
Senor Sagasta replied: II thank you
Tor your frankness. 1 wish to assure
you that the government recognizes
your services and values them as they
deserve, but 1t thinks a change of
policy, In order to succeed, requires
that all authorities should be at one
with the ministry. This has nothing
to do with the confidence felt in you
by the government, but the Liberals
have always said that the responsible
1ty for any policy does not fall upon
those who carry 1t out, but upon the
government inspiring it. / shall COM
munlcate your communication to the
government shortly"
HAVANA, Oct. 8.-Gen Weyler gave
today an emphatic and absolute denial
to the reports that he would resist re-
moVal from his command in Cuba and
in contingencies might espouse the
Carlist cause. He said, according to the
official account: MY principles and
my military record are firm guarantees
that | Will never oppose the constituted
government, whatever it may be. 7
never have put obstacles in the way
of the government and never shall.
/ have always obeyed orders, and I
always shall So far as popular demon
strations go, I accept them onlyas ex-
pressfons Of approval of my policy and
as tokens of personal sympathy"
The merchants of the island, accord
ing to the official reports, continue to-
send cable messages to Senior Sagasta,
expressing their approval of Gen. Wey-
ler's campaign and their confidence in
him.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-A dispatch
from Madrid to the Herald says: Gen.
Weyler will fight tooth and nail against
being removed from Cuba. He is try
ing to terrorize the Liberal ministry
into retaining him in command in Cuba
until next June and If recalled now he
will utilize his influence over the army
to create disturbances in the peninsula
or sell himself to the Carlists. Not
withstanding that the late Conservative
administration is no more than a shat
tered remnant, the organs of the Con-
serVative press are nothing backward
in vituperating one another and the
defunct ministry in so malignant a tone
as to clearly betray that there was no
intention whatever of surrendering the
reins Of government had the queen
regent induced and insisted on the
crisis. In consequence of this, the fall
en- magnates of that party are being
SO bitterly assailed in the columns of
their own newspapers that their tenn
pers are said to have suffered in the
melee and more than one has had to
part from public life and even from
Madrid with scowls upon his brow,
causing no little merriment to the un-
concerned onlookerS
