NEYLER MUST GO HOME.
He Will Be Recalled From
Cuba Shortly.
IT IS NOW A FOREGONE CON-
CLuSION THAT HE WILL
LOSE HIS JOB.
Gen. Marin Likely To Be His Sue
SSOr-AmerilanS Don't Be-
lieye In The Promised Re-
forms One Of Weyler'S
Generals Resigns.

New York, June 10.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, says:
1t is believed here now that the long
suppressed news of affairs in Madrid
has been made public, that General
Weyler's return to Spain will be the
most important result of Canovas' sue
cess in retaining power. Private tele-
grams have been sent to persons here
in which it was distinctly stated that
Campos, Dominguez and Pidal had
given their support to .Canovas with
the plain stipulation that General
Weyler should go.
In fact it is felt here that Campos,
who is now in power in Spain and fills
the popular eye, would not on any ac
count lend himself to the continuation
of General Weyler's policy. The plan
is to send to General NORM here from
Porto Rico, and then supplant him in
turn by either Gen. Blanco or Gen.
Campos.
The private kilograms seems to leave
no doubt as to Gen. Weyler's coming
retirement, and big as the responsible
ity for changing captain generals at
so critical a period, it appears to be
SelllSu. utHSIht "GylcI IGSdu VIII
be an acknowledgement, it is believed
here, that proclamations of pacification
are not worth the paper they are writ
ten upon. If General Weyler goes, his
successor can only abandon utterly the
plans which Weyler has made and fol-
lowed.
The first duty of General Weyler's
successor when he comes will be to al
low the starving reconcentrados to go
once more into the fertile fields and
cultivate their means of life which are
denied them inside the bitches and
forts.
With the return of Mr.. Calhoun, the
American consuls here have reinforced
their former reports as to the strength
of the insurgents and the poor outlook
for peace under present conditions.
Moreover, they have said that in their
opinion the United States must not
look too seriously upon the proposed
Canadian lines.
In short, whatever feeling there may
be that Spain should be allowed to re-
tain her her sovereignty here, the
Americans feel and have so reported,
that there is not provision in the re-
forms which has not a string to it,
and any result here short of indepen-
dence or an American protectorate
will mean, they say, merely postpone
ment and another revolution in a few
years.
The Herald's correspondent in Sagua
La Grande reports that just previous
to General Weyler's return to Havana
he encountered some of Gomez's forces
near Sancti Spiritus, under command
of Gomez himself, and was forced to
retreat, leaving fifty dead on the field
and one hundred prisoners in the hands
of the rebels. This matter has been
denied in official reports.
A dispatch to the Journal from Hav
ana says:
Another of Weylers generals, Lono,
inspector general of the civil forces
in Cuba and military governor of Hav-
ana, has resigned in disgust and ex-
poets to leave the island by the trans
Atlantic liner, sailing on June 80, for
Spain direct.
Lono regards Weyler's early recall
as quite assured and thinks Blanco,
Lopez or Dominguez will come out as
his successor. Both are equally init
mate with Martinez Campos to obtain
whose support in the recent minister
ial crisis Canovas is known to have
made important concessions.
weyler is reported to have cabled
Canovas insisting that Minister Depuy
de LONE demand from the Washington
government the extradition of Munoz,
Cartaya and Artega, alleged fiilibus-
ters, recently captured by the United
States authorities on the Florida coast
alleging old criminal indictments
against the three of them said to be
still pending in the courts here.
