NEWSPAPER COMMENT.
MADRID. Dec 31-The Imparcial to-
day prints a violent article on the mill
tary government in Cuba, and urges
that Captain General Weyler be re-
placed by General Azcaraga, the pres
ent Spanish minister Of war.
The Heraldo published an article SIM
liar to that of the Imparcial, and they
caused great sensation. Both issues
were seized by the police.
Eight DEGREES relative to reforms in
Porto Rico will be published In the Ga
zette tomorrow.
The queen regent signed these de-
crees at the cabinet council which was
held today.

should correct abuses in the matter of
