WEYLER SERENE AMID ALARMS.

SAYS THE WAR WILL SOON END AND GIVES NO
CREDENCE TO RUMORs OF HIS RECALL.
Havana June 6.-The correspondent Of the Asso-
cated Press interviewed Captain General Weyler
upon the latter's return TO Havana from the scene
Of military operations. Asked regarding affairs in
the island. General Weyler said the war would be
ended in a short time. but just how soon he could
not say as its termination depended entirely on cir
cumstances.
General Weyler apparently ignores the effect pro-
duced upon the situation in Cuba by the Ministerial
crisis In Madrid seeming 10 consider the Cabinet DIFF
fculties OF little importance. He regards the
rumors OF his recall without foundation. He
fused TO speak with reference to the effect of the at
titude OF the United States upon continuance Of
friendly relations between that country and Spain
further than to say that he thinks these relations
will continue. as the United States has much TO
lose In Cuba. and that in OF conflict between
the two countries she would lose more than Spain.

island as highly important Small groups OF insur-
