WHAT wEYLER DENIES.

New York, October PA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, Cuba. says;
In spite Of all of his protests to the CON
uary. General Weyler, when it comes TO
the actual test OF resignng his command
exhibits decided reluctance. He has re-
fused 10 give over authority as captain
general to his duly appoirred successor,
lily ordered to do so by Sagasta's minister
OF war. The situation is critical. Senior
Sagasta can not. 1t is believed, permit his
ministry to be openly defed by General
Weyler and he may have to resort to
extreme measures to remove the captain
general. Over and over again Captain
General Weyler has affirmed he would
do nothing TO embarrass his country. hut
actions speak louder than words.
Calstellanos arrived in the capital late
Monday night. He had been appointed
by the Spanish minister of war TO re-
place General Wey.er until General Ilanco
arrived in Cuba. Caste.lanos was in the
field when the appointment came. but
he at once stgirted for the palace. In
some unaccountabls way man-of-war
sent 10 fetch him was retarded.
CGstellanos proceeded to the palace on
Tuesday morning expecting to be sworn
In as captain general. But it was very
soon apparent General Weyler did not in
tend tha, anything OF the sort should hap
pen He made excuses and hesttatcd until
Castelllnos WIS provoked TO cable the sit
luation 10 Madrid A reply came quickly.
1t was a percmptory order that General
Weyler should vacate and that the newly
appointed man should assume command At
once. But even then General Weyier
not obey He told Castellanos that before
| he would hand over the office he must
have written statement from his sue
cessor TO the effect that the four western
/ provinces were pacifed Now Castel-
Ilanos had been in the field and knew the
truth and refused to sign any such docu-
men.
This happened Tuesday evening. General
Weyler is still captain general and In ef-
! fect defies any one to dvest him a MS
| authority. General Weyler's Intimate
| friends assert that he will not relincuish
| command until few hours before the time
fixed to sail for Spain. The date of bis
departure is now fixed for October 30. But
