Still Maintains that the War Is Nearly
Over-But Declines to Say ust When
1t Will End.
Havana, June 5.-The correspondent of
! the Association Press was granted an ex-
elusive interview with Captain Genera
Weyler upon the latter's return to Ha-
vana, from the scene of military opera
tions. Upon being questioned regarding
affairs in the island, Gen. .Weyler said the
war would be ended in a short time, but
just how soon he could not say, as it's
| termination depended entirely on circum-
stances. Gen. Weyler apparently ignores
the effect produced upon the situation
in Cuba by the ministerial crisis in Ma
drid, seeming to consider the cabinet
difficulties as of little Importance.
He regards the rumors of his recall as
| without foundation. He refused to speak
with reference to the effect of the attitude
of the United States upon continuance
of friendly relations between that coun-
| try 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 case of conflict be-
tween the two countries she would lose
more than Spain. He regards the latest
military operations in the island as high
| ly important. Small groups Of insur-
gents, he said, remained only upon
either side of the Jucaro- Muron trocha,
but they are unable to communicate with
each other and are suffering severely in
consequence. Gen. Weyler said that he
had found no native Americans in des-
titute condition anywhere in the island.

London, June 7.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says: "The solu-
tion of the crisis is a general surprise, as
much, perhaps in ministerial ranks as in
the world at large. 1t was thought, not
without reason that the counsels of the
higher military authorities as represented
by Marshal Campos, Marshal Blanco and
Marshal Dominguez would have inclined
the Crown towards radical and distinct
change of policy in the Cuban campaign.
"This idea was especially prevalent as

Consideration Of Sugar Schedule in
the Senate.
RHODE ISLAND SENATOR EX.
PECTED TO BE OUT SOON.
The Lumber Clause Will Be Considered
Today-Senator Pettigrew Will Present
His Antitrust Neutrality-suspicious.
Will Adjourn From Day to Day.

Washington, June 6.-While the tariff
will continue the general topic of discus
sion in the Senate during the prcsen
week, there is no certainty as to what
portion of it will receive especial atten-
tion. This uncertainty is due largely to
the difficulty of determining when the
sugar schedule will be taken up. 1t is 81
generally understood that this schedule
will consume considerable time that there
is no effort to outline beyond it the course
of proceeding. The wood schedule will
afford a brief respite Monday before reach
ing the sugar question, as that subject
was left undisposed of when the Senate
adjourned on Saturday.
Senator Allen probably will enter a
motion to strike out the entire paragraph
relating to sawed lumber and the motion
may lead to other speeches than his own.
There is no doubt in any event of post
ponement until Senator Aldrich's return
to the Senate. He is still confined to his
room, but is expected to be out early in
the week
That the Hawaiian treaty will be pro-
tected by the finance committee is con-
sidered settled, but caucus may be
necessary to determine whether other
changes should be made. Senator Petit
grew has decided definitely to offer his
anti trust amendment in connection with
this schedule but beyond the fact that it
will lead to number of speeches there is
no certainty as to its course or its fate.
The tobacco schedule Immediately fol-
lows the sugar. schedule, but if it should
be reached on Monday it would be
necessary also temporarily to pass it over
as the committee has promised the tobacco
men a hearing on Monday night.

GROWTH OF A CUSTOM.

The practice of the wife assuming
the husbands name at marriage, ac-
cording to DR.. Brewer, originated from
a Roman custom, and became the com
mon custom after the Roman occupa-
ton. Thus Julia and Octavia married
to Pompey and Cicero were called by
the Romans Julia of Pompey and Octa-
via of Cicero, and in latter times mar
ried women in most European countries
signed their names in the same manner
but omitted the "of" Against this
view it may be mentioned that during
the sixteenth and even at the begin
ming of the seventeenth century the
usage seems doubtful, since we find
Catharine Parr so signing herself after
she had been twice married, and we al
ways hear of Lady Jane Grey (not
Dudley. Arabella Stuart mot Seymour
etc.. Some persons think that the Gus
tom originated from the scriptural
teaching that husband and wife are
one. This was the rule so far back as
Bracton (died 1859, and it was decided
in the case of Bon. V. Smith, in the
reign of Elizabeth, that woman by
marriage loses her former name and
legally receives that of her husband.
Altogether. the custom is involved in
much obscurity-Samoa Herald.
