WEYLER IN OPPOSITION.
Against Autonomy for the Island OF
Cuba.

Barcelona. Nov. 23.-Gen. Weyler,
former captain general of Cuba, ar,
rived here this morning from Havana.
The general landed beneath the Colum.
bus monument and was acclaimed by
about 10000 people. A number of
bands and chOirs took part in the well
come, The Meseterrat was met by
many boats decorated with flags. When
the general landed, accompanied by
Gen. MOntaner, he entered the carriage
OF Deputy Saladrigas and was driven
to the latter's house. After the crowd
about the house cheered Weyler until
he appeared on the balcony, the former
commander of the Spanish forces in
Cuba cried: Long live the king, Span
ish Cuba and national labor"
Addressing an industrial deputation
which waited upo him later, Weyler
said: Il have never been a politician,
but am simply a Spanish soldier.
During my stay in Cuba 7 did my ut
most to improve the soldiers and now
| shall devote myself to improving the
lot of the workmen." In a subsequent
speech he accused the United States of
desiring to seize Cuban by
hunting Spaniards who die of starva-
ton He declared, amid applause, he
would never cease to defend Spanish
interest in the Antilles"
Gen. Weyler, addressing a number of
his friends shortly after his arrival
here, expressed great regret at his re-
call from Cuba. adding he was particu-
larly annoyed at the attitude of certain
newspapers, which had declared he IA
vored the insurgents. Continuing. the
general remarked:
The Spanish soldiers. however, have
the same contempt for these papers.a as
they have for filibusters." Referring
to the concentration Of Cuban peasants
near the towns of that island. Gen.
Weyler explained that he deemed such
a step necessary because they were
spies and most dvoted friends of the
enemy"
In regard to autonomy. the former
captain general of Cuba said: "Au-
tonomy in Cuba would be most I'M
fortunate for the national industry.
The riches of Cuba belong to Spain,
and autonomy means the disappearance
of Spanish workmen and complete mis-
cry throughout the island. There is as
much reason for Catalonia. the Balearic
islands and other provinces to ask for
autonomy as Cuba" It is understood
in Barcelona that Gen. Weyler will
hold aloof from the Carlists and repub-
licans. but he desires to pose as a
champion of national production"
aims at the reorganization of the con-
sentative party, and in order to realize
his protectionist idea. he will vigor-
ously oppose the granting of tariff au-
tonomy to Cuba.
