Barcelona, Nov. "a. --Weyler, ad-
dressing number Of friends shortly
after his arrival here, expressed great
regret mt his recall from Cuba, adding
that he was particularly annoyed at
the attitude of certain newspapers
which declared that he favored the In
gGrgents. Continuing the general re-
marked: THE Spanish soldiers, how
ever, have the same contempt for
these papers as they have for filibus-
ters." Referring To the concentration
Of Cuban peasants near the towns In
that island, Weyler explained that he
deemed such a step necessary because
they are the spies and most devoted
friends of the enemy" In regard to
autonomy he said: Autonomy in Cuba
will be most unfortunate for national
industry. The riches Of Cuba belong
10 Spain. and autonomy means the dis
appearance Of Spanish wofkmen and
the cause Of misery throughout the
island. There is as much reason for

ST. LOUIS, March GA special from
Guadalajara to the St. Louis Globe
Democrat says: An almost warlike
spirit is being aroused among the peo-
pie of Mexico by the coming of Messrs.
Bruce, Stone and Pierce, Of Boston. to
enter into negotiations with the Mexi-
can government for return Of flags
captured by the Mexican troops in the
war of 1S47. The newspapers are de-
noupcing America and the Americans
in the most incendiary language, going
so far as to demand of the United
States, at tho cannon's month if neces-
sary, return of all territory taken
from Mexico. They specify California,
Colorado, Nevada. Utah, Arizona,
New. Mexico and Texas as property
stolen from their country. So strong
is the sentiment against Americans,
that ladies are openly insulted on
streets, and in stores, and if the escort
resents the offerse he is dragged off to
jail and fined.

THE BURGLING BURGLAR.
He Still Keeps up His Little Razzle
Dazzle on the North Side.

The somewhat scenic, if not absolute
| ly spectacular dramatization of Th
| Merry Burglar and His Game, is beins
continued on the Ell Paso boards with
varying effects, and last night was M
exception.
| This particular performance was no
| in the opera house, neither was 1T bill
ed on the boards, such singular and un
accountable an aversion does the gen
ius man, species burglar, evince fol
anything savoring of publicity. The
scene last night was as usual on the
north side About a. NJ, quiet, un
obtrusive gentleman of a searching
turn of mind, reached his hand in
| through the partly open window of w.
e. Sharp on Capitol hill, and when the
hand withdrew it was noticed that Mr.
Sharp's clothing was attached to it.
The owner subsequently found bis
clothing on the porch, and was pleased
that all the property missing were a
pair of cuff buttons, pencil and two
cuff fasteners. Half an hour later.
doubtless the same quiet and unobtru-
sive party reached his hand in through
the window of Mr.. Dougherty, 707
North Stanton street, and fished out a
miscellaneous collection of male attire.
From this the gentleman drew insp r.
alton to the amount of SIS, and
then left for other fields of
scientific investigation. DR.. Dougherty
came to the door as the gentleman
moved out into the street. He was
dressed in becoming black with a long
coat of suitable length to cover up his
sinful nature and the nature Of his
operations. After he had disappeared,
the money loss was discovered.
Presently, five pistol shots were
heard in the immediate vicinity, and
they sounded so loud that the neigh
bors thought a small cannon was in
operation close by. Now just who fired
those shots, no one seemed to know,
but everybody was aroused, and when
HERALD reporter called around in
the neigh borhood to try and ascertain
who the artillerist was; each person in
terviewed thought the shooting was in
a different direction from what every
body else thougbt,so confusing are the
results of nocturnal gun practice.
However, the general and hearty
hope was expressed that the successful
target was the gentleman in the long,
dark coat, and that be had descended
the sulphur stair to get his ieneous
slippers and the customary caudal ap-
pendage, horns, bat wings, and so
forth. The police know nothing Of the
shooting except what was told them,
and tie residents on the north side are
fixing up their shot guns for mission
ary work.

Excitement Over a Threaten

GENERAL LEE TRANQUIL.

General Weyler's Campaign Com
plete Failure in the Eastern Part
of the Island.

HAVANA, March 6-The great ex-
citement that has existed for some time
past among American residents has
somewhat subsidized, and now there is
not much feer expressed about an at
tack being made upon the American
consulate, although the consulate has
remained unprotected during all the
dangerous days when aggression was
threatened on that building. Consul
General Lee preserves a dignifed at
titude and quietly attends to his office
business. He has no means of repell-
ing an attack, and knows perfectly
we'll that the ill-feeling of the Spanish
masses against him grows more
| threatened daily.
The release of Sauguilly and his safe
arrival at Key West have caused
great Indignation among the Span
iards. They comment on the affair
with much bitterness, and say it is a
disgrace to Spain, aud that Spaniards
ought not to tolerate it.
Gen. Weyler is expected to return
to Havana soon. The report that he
had been recalled by the Spanish gov
ernment is confirmed, but the fact has
not yet been officially announced. The
real cause for his recall is not a dis
agreement between the captain general
and the central government concernip g
the treatment of American citizens and
the release of Sanguilly, but the total
military failure OF Weyler in the Santa
Clara province and the recent victories
of Gen. Gomez over Col. Arizona and
Gems. Gasco, Segura and Ruiz. The
report of the disagreement between
Weyler and the Madrid governmen,
is only an excuse for concealing the
real facts of Weyler's failure in Sants
Clara. Weyler is greatly embittered
against the Americans and Gen. Lee
1t is certain that while remaining il
Office until his successors arrival, i
will be only under pressure from Ma
drid that he will try to protect The
