Captain General.

ing that the captain general be retain
ed at the head of the Spanish forces in
the island, as well as in control OF Its
civil affairs.
Gen. Weyler, in acknowledging their
expressions of confidence, said that the
criticism and attacks made upon his
military conduct were without founda-
ton, as it had always been his plan
to finish war with war, in accordance
with the customs of all European ma
tions and even of the United States.
Ell Diario De La Marina, the organ
of the reform party, commenting on
the new Spanish cabinet, in it's leading
editorial today, says: 1.-THE fall or the
headless and disconnected Conservative
party means a transition from dark
night to a sunny day; it means rad
ical transformation of method. PUBIC
opinion had received the tld1ngS with
great satisfaction, as indicating the
establishment Of peace. The list Oh
the ministers is a clear indication that
the platform of the new cabinet is pure
and logical autonomy for Cuba. we
have absolute confidence in a prompt
re-establishment of peace The rise in
Spanish securities in Europe shows
that the public in Spain and abroad
has great confidence in Senor Sagasta' S
cabinet"
The Union Constitutional, the organ
change in the Spanish cabinet is OF
minor Importance, as all true Span
iards must have the same patriotism
in defending the high ideals Of the ma
tion.''
Ell Pals, the organ of the Autonomist
party, says it sympathizes with the
new cabinet for having declared in
favor of autonomy and hopes senor
Sagasta will make good in power the
promises he gave while in the opposl-
ton.
La Lucha says: This is the last
chance in a game Of the gravest i'm
portance for the future and for the
| history of Spain and her colonies.
The Conservatives generally express
| themselves as satisfied by the eXclu-
| sion of former Ministers Gamazo and
Maura from the new cabinet; as after
the threats of Ell Diario de La Marina,
that, if they refused to humbly bow
| TO the new cabinet, it would be neceS-
sary to point the cannons or MORO
Castle, in the city Of Havana, they had
feared that, with Seniors Gamazo and
Maura in power, the abuses OF the DAYS
CT Cen Calleja would be repeated In
| consequence Of the lmprudenl uttel
ances of Ell Diario.
| A well known American, who has
long resided in the island, expressed
the opinion that real differences exist
among the resident SpaniardS as to the
| desirability of autonomy. He belleVes
| it will not prove satisfactory to the
radical element among the Spanlards
| in Cuba After autonomy has been
granted and peace is proclaimed, he be-
| iiaves the radical element will prob
| ably try to promote another insurrec-
| tion. In that event the Conservative
element and the producing body OF the
| SPANISH population would at once de-
mand annexation to the United States.
This view is shared by many resldent
| Spaniards of prominence.
! The rumor that Marshal Martinez
Campos would probably be reappolhteu
to command in Cuba, gave great salts
faction to the native islanders, but the
Spaniards openly expressed their dls-
| annroval. as they consider that his
weakness was the original cause or the
revolt. They hold Campos responsible
for the extension Of the insurrect1on
! into Western Cuba.

Ienox. and his representative, Senor du

| thorities are practically unrepresented
The legation, on Connecticut avenue
| which has been closed for the summer
was tosbe given up Oct. 1, and new
official residence and legation estab-
, lished on Massachusetts avenue and
P street This plan is likely to be
changed, however, owing to the proba-
| bility of the minister's early retire
, ment He has stated to officials here
that he would submit his resignation
when a change of ministry occurred
| 1t may be that he will be requested
to continue at his post, and there also
is some mention of Senor Muragua
who was minister to the United States
prior to Senor de Lome returning tc
| Washington, now that the Liberal
party is in power once more
