GEN. wEYLER's ATTITUDE.
Latest Advfces Confirm the Statement
of Last Week.


The news from Havana that Weyler is
preparing to open the eyes of Spain, and
has refused to turn over his command to
his appointed successor, Castellanos, only
confirms the dispatches which were printed
last week. 1t was stated then that the
Cubans in Washington had intimation that
Gen. Weyler would refuse to obey the or
ders from Madrid, and that he was prepar-
ing to turn Havana over to the insurgents
His actions were then looked upon with
suspicion by the Spanish authorities, and
now the confrnatory dispatches published
today, both from Madrid and Havana fully
justify ali that was said at that time
AS yet the State Department has not had
any coniirmative dispatches from Havana
and while the officials do not talk for pub
lication, they do not express any surprise
at the developments. The officials do no.
expect airy immediate trouble however.
and Assistant Secretary Day is preparing
to go to Canton tomorrow. Secretary Sher-
man leaves next week. and, what is more
significant, it is officially announced today
that Consul General Lee will not return to
Havana until December ). At that time he
will be accompanied by Consul Barker. who
is stationed at SagGa La Grande NJ
Barker came home the time Gen. Lee re-
turned and has been in Washinston in
consultation with the officials here in re-
gard to the situation in Cuba.
1t is also announced that the President will
not make any changes in the consulates in
Cuba until things are settled in the island
for 1t IS thought best to keep the old Off
cials there on account of their familiarity
with the situation.
Spanish Delay.
1t must be stated. however, that there is
some feeling of uneasiness at the Sta.c
Department in regard to the evident inten-
ticn of delay on the part of the Spanish Of
fcials at Madrid The statement of Gen.
Blanco that the minimum time for the end
ing of the war in Cuba will be sever,
months has caused this feeling for this
carnot mean anything else but that tn.
Spanish expect to continue the war sor
arother year. 1t can he also stated that
the answer tc the note presented by Cen
Woodford will not be ready October %
as generally understood, but will be post
pcned at least a week or more.
The reported illness of Senior Sagasta is
another elemt mt of delay, which is exas-
perating, to gay the least. But as the ad-
ministration has determined to wait until
the new premier and his cabinet can for
ward their answer. no developments until
then are expected, and from all indications
there will be no positive informa ton in
Washington until after the President re-
turns home from his trip to Ohio and Sec
retary Sherman and Assistant Secretary
Day also get back to their desks.

opened, and it is possible, it is stated, that

that he had not heard of this proposition,
but he said cf course 1t Nigh; have been
made to some one alse. As far as he knew

met tie cardinal today, but the latter did
not say anything about negotiation for the
purchase of the church property.

at their Office. said that as far as they
knew the property had not been sold, and
that they had not been advised of the offer
alleged to have been made by Mir. Straus.
