MADRID, juno 2o.-It is persistently said that
Gen. Wcylcr will soon DO recalled to Spain. The
Queen Regent had q long conference with Gen.
Blanco yesterday. What they talked about
was not known, but 1t was taken for granted
that Blanco would succeed woyler as Captain
General OF Cuba. The Ministerial press, how.
ever, declares that Weyler will remain at his
post. La Correspondence do Espanu, in an
article signed by Col. Genaro Alas, says:
III we are to Judge from what the national
and foreign newspapers say, most Of the people
in Spain and abroad are in favor of Woyler's re-
call. As q rule, Spanish politicians believe that
his recall is impending. We do not share this
opinion. There are strong reasons why Gen.
weyler should continue at the head Of our army.
"The postponement Of the Cuban election
until Jan. is, 1898, is proof positive that the
Government maintains its purpose to finish tho
rebellion by force of arms alone. The Govern
ment does not wish to give up the concentration
Of peasants, nor the devastation OF extensive
territories, nor other proceedings which arc In
compatible with the actual establishment of re-
forms, lest the plans devised by Gen. weyler
and approved by the Cabinet should fail.
Under this condition of affairs It 10 not likely
that Gen. Weyler will be superseded. It's
weyler who invented the present plan of cam
paign in Cuba and who has enthusiastically
carried it on. No one could carry out weyler's
methods better than Weyler himself; and no
other General Of any political prominence would
be willing TO be the agent for carrying out Wey-
lers own invention.
"Weyler's recall was imminent in November
last. His first expedition to .Pinar del Rio
proved disastrous; Had the insurgents pos

States to Spain, will not be able to present hi'
