Madrid, Oct S.-(Midnight).-Th
cabinet has decided upon the iname-
date recall of General WeyIer from
Cuba. A decree viii be issued appoint
ing Captain General Blanco y Arenas,
Marquis of Pena-Plana, governor Of
the island. The queen regent will sign
the decree tomorrow.
According to FL Heraldo, 10000 re-
Inducements will accompany General
B.anco to Cuba
In the course of the cable message
sent by General Weyler to Premier Sa-
gasta, placing the. post in Cuba at the
disposal of the government. he said;
If the functions with which they
had entrusted me had been merely
those of the government of Cuba, I
should have FASTENED to resign. but
the tWo-fold character of my mission
and my duty as commander in chief
in the army prevent my rendering a
resignation. Nevertheless. although I
can rely upon the absolute uncondition-
al support of the autonomist and con-
stitutional parties, as we'll as upon
public opinion, this would be indefinite
without the confidence of the govern
ment. This confidence would be neceS-
sary to enable me to put an end to the
war which already has been virtually
concluded from our lines at Juraco to
Cane Antonio"
Senior Sagasta replied: I thank you
for your explanation and value your
franhness. [ wish to assure you that
the government recognizes your SerV-
ices and values them as they deserve,
but it thinks a change of policy in or
der to succeed, requires that the au-
thoritieS should be at one with the min
istry. This has nothing to do with the
confidence felt in you by the govern
ment, for the Liberals have always said
that the responsibility for given poll
| icy does not fail upon those who carry
| it out, but upon the government 1nspir-
ing il. I shall communicate your COM
| munieation to the government shortly"
General Blanco will be accompanied

BLAMCo Y ARENAS.
Biographical Sketch of cuba's New
Captain General.

Captain General Ramon Blanco Y
Arenas, who will succeed Captain Gen
eral Weyler as governor general of
Cuba, has had his chief administrative
experience in the Philippine Islands.
He succeeded Captain General DeSpu-
Jol as governor general of the Philip
pines in 1893 and for his services in
that capacity was raised to the rank Of
marshal in May, 1895.
In August 1885, he reported to the
Spanish minister of the colonies the
existence of an extensive plot aiming
at the independence of the islands.
This rapidly took on the proportions
of q formidable instruction, which the
efforts of General Blanco were power
less to check. In September OF that
year he narrowly escaped assassina-
ton. A plot was formed to surprise
the garrison at Manila and salze tha
headquarters and to murder the cap
tain general. 1t was discovered just
in the nick of time and more than 100
| persons were arrested for completely in
| it. Prior to this General Bianco had
not reSorted to extreme measures, but,
spurred on by the personal danger to
which he had been exposed, he issued
a decree ordering that all property be-
! longing to residents of the Philippine
Islands who had been implicated in the
! rebellion should be forfeited for the
| benefit Of the government. A week s
grace was offered to those who were
willing to surrender.
! But neither this decree nor General
Blanco's military tactics nor other eX-
! ceptional measures which he took to
| suppress the rebellion. prevented it
! from spreading, and in December, at
ter a broad hint from the government
that his methods We're not sufficiently
| severe. he rendered his resignation. and
was succeeded by General Pollavieja,
! commander of the Sixth army corps,
! who were sent to the Philippines with
instructions virtually identical with
! those given to Captain General Wey-
! Ter, when the latter succeeded Marshal
! Martinez Campos in Cuba.
I Shortly after this Marshal B'anco
was appointed chief of the military
| household of the queen regent.
! He has been described as the soft
/ est hearted soldier in SPAIN and his
whole career indicates his disposition
! to employ mild rather than violent
| measures. Ever since the fail of the
| AZcarraga cabinet the name CT Mar
shall Bianco has been the most proni-
nent among the possible successors of
! General Weyler, and the impression in
! some well informed quarters has been
that if appointed governor general OF
| Cuba he would be empowered to APP
! proach the insurgents with Il view al
arriving at a mutual agreement for
| the cessation of hostilities. He enjoys
the personal friendship and entire con-
| fidence of the queen regent.

Loudly they called for the young

The governor was mad by this time

protest. This had the effect of bring

into view, and after the situation was
explained in tones that gave the party
in the tall tower an embarrassing lot

tied him up. The party came down in

grandeur Of the scenery, but admitting
there was too much dog in it to permit
