A Ministeriai Crisis May Occur After the Queen
Regents Return TO Madrid.

MADRID. Aug. l5.-H Impartial said yester-
day: There is a rumor that the news OF Cano-
vas's death has affected the health Of Gen.
Wcyler, and that he will soon come TO Spain to
recuperatc. Gen. Azcarraga Is well acquainted
with tho nature OF Wcylcr's disease
In spite Of this. the probabilities are that Gen.
Weyler will not be recalled until after tho
Queen Regent returns 10 Madrid. when a Minis
terial crisis is likely to occur. Her Majesty
will remain al san Sebastian as long as circum-
stances will permit.

date, but he modestly says that all he wishes is
to have II chance to show what may be done
with the powerful resources which Spain has
accumulated IN the island. But he will accept
nothing unless somebody in Cuba disappears
who is an obstacle in the way of success

change of policy might be brought about. 1t

erals speak OF Cuban affairs with an air OF au.
tbority. which would command for them the
respect OF all II people were not acquainted
with their real merit. Surely they arc all III

erals from the army in Cuba have returned TO
Spain from August, 1898. up TO the present
time. All are said to have worked marvels,
but the war goes on the same rs ever.
Every effort is being made to prevent the dis
