WHY WEYLER WAS RECALLED.
The Step Was Taken at the Re-
quest of the Queen Regent.

Madrid, Dec. 20-A letter written by
one of the foremost diplomatists in Spain
over the signature "Hispanicus'' and
one. moreover, in the entire confidence of
the government and consequently in u
position to speak officially, destroys some
arguments that have been eff time after
time during the last few days by those in
opposl ton to the liberal ministry.
Speaking for the ministry, the writer
points out that President McKinley's
message cannot be construed rs attacking
the honor of the Spanish army, as Cen
eral Weyler and his friends would like to
make the public believe. In tho second
place General Weyler was net recalled
under pressure from the United States,
as. by the express wish of the queen re-
gent. his recall had been decided upon
during the late Premier Canovas' life
In the Third place. the nation as whole
appears TO be more strongly in favor of
the government than has been the case in
Spain for u long time. Every one is eager
to have done with the Cuban question.
and recently the city was decorated and
illuminated as u sign of rejoicing over
the establishment of peace in the Phillip
pines, while on every hand one hears
wishes that the next year may be one of
lasting peace in Cuba.
This writer says: "The inc of policy
laid down, both in Senior Sagasta's man.
ifesto last June and by Senof Moret, is in
such direct opposition to the one pursued
by Senior Canovas' administration that
the retention of General Weyler as com
mander n-chief of Cuba after that policy
was pus into operation was a manifest
impossibility. Had the present govern
ment not recalled him, General Weyler
must have asked to be relieved, or else
pass tac't condemnation upon the policy
OF the late government

DIED FROM A BLOW.

ALI the little boys of Roanoke should
take warning from the death of young
Howard b. Armen.rout, the son of i. L.
Armentrout, which occurred Sunday
morning about o'clock at the family
residence, 502 Word street. The little fell
low, who WAS but ID years old, was play
ing with.some of his companions n week
ago last Friday afternoon, their game be-
ing to throw clods of earth at each other.
One of the boys, whose name was not
learned, threw a clod which contained u
concealed rock, at young Armentrout,
striking him on the back of the heal.
Nothing much was thought of the blow
for few days, though the boys head
was bound with n handage, .and he went
about as usual until last Friday, when he
was suddenly taken i'll, and lockjaw set
in with marked symptoms of meningitis.
1he hoy rapidly grew worse and died in
agony on Sunday, as above stated. Thus
it was that a blow struck in boys' game
has brought sorrow and grief to IA home
circle. The moral Of this death shonld be
firm ly impressed upon every little boy in
Roanoke. The serious consequences Of
rough play were never more wildly eX-
emplified than in this sad and unexpected
death. The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon at 3 O'Clock from Greene
Memorial Church and the services were
conducted by, Rev. DR.. Carson. The re-
mains were laid at rest in Fairview Gem
etery.
