gin, and search was made Tor them by
the mob. The search was successful, and
the negroes when caught were brought

arose. According to their own story they

1t is alleged that the insurgents in
eastern Cuba have asked the govern
ment for details as to the extent and

interview, expressed the pleasure it

Gus traditions of the Spanish race Eere
not dead, and that it was still ready
for sacrifices in defense of the honor
of the nation and the army.
DEFENDS HIS POLICY.
He knew, he said, that the Canovas
cabinet in August last gave the Wash
ingtOn government to understand that
it was the nations will to pursue his
(Weylers) policy in Cuba until the re-
bellion should be suppressed, without
consenting to an interference. He
failed to understand how the United
States, silent before the declarations of
Canovas, now adopted, in President
AIcKinley's message, a tone insulting
to Spain and the Spanish army"
He believed, he declared emphatical-
ly, that the government should be COM
PEELED to publish the CanovaS note as
a satisfaction to the army and also
to protest by ali means in its power
against President McKinley's MESA ge
to congress.
To his personal knowledge, he said,
the generals residing in Madrid felt
keeniy en- this point, While he was con-
fiGent that eli the conservative element
of the country would combine to avert
the ruin and dishOnOr of the nation.
