wEYLER's PROTEST. WARM.
The General Declares Himself Hon
Ored by the Attacks On Him.

Madrid, Dec, SO.-Gen. Weyler, former
captain general of Cuba, in his memorial
to the queen regent on the subject Of
President McKinley's message TO con-
gress, says he is honored by the attacks
made upon him, and that his conduct as
governor general was that of soldier an
mated by honor and patriotism. Such
attacks, therefore, Gen. Weyler adds, win
GO him no harm, as they are aimed at him,
he asserts, simply because he has done his
duty. Nevertheless since the message
contained insulting observations on the
Spanish troops in Cuba he believed it to
be his duty to address a protest to the
crown.
Gen. Weyler afilrms that the so-called
pacihcos whom he concentrated in the for>
titled districts were the prime abettors of
the rebellion.
The protest of the general is couched
in courteous language.

ed Gen. Weyler's protest against Presi-
dent McKinley's message, viii be punish
ed. The publication had bee prohibited on

prosecuted. The authorities refuse to
transmit the protest to the queen regent

TOBACCO FROM CUBA.
Edict Permitting Expectation to BE
Published To-day.

Havana, Dec. 3O.-The Official Gazette
will print tomorrow an edict of Capt.
Gen. Blanco permitting the expectation Of
tobacco.
The port was closed by Gen. Weyler's
edict of May "A. 1896. for the purpose of
cutting the tobacco industries of the Unit
ed States, particularly those of Tampa and
Key West, off from their supply. Gen.
Weyler did this, he claimed, to insure
permanent employment TO the discomfort
ed cigarmakers in Havana during the trou-
blesome times of war; but it is known that
his special aim was TO paralyze the Gu
ban colonies of the United States, from
which was coming the fostering strength
that made the insurgents formidable.
There are about 10000 bales of tobacco
choked in the warehouses of Havana
ready to be shipped to the states the mo-
ment the port is opened. 1t is said that
the crop is promising, and all indicates
that a brighter day is dawning for the
paralyzed commerce of Cuba and the wan
ing cigar factories of the United States.

RECIPROCITY WITH VENEZUELA.
Parcels Post Convention May Also he
Arranged.

Washington Dec. 3O-~Francis Loomis.
United States minister to Venezuela, has
arrived in Washington. He is on leave of
absence from his post and while in Wash
ington during the coming week he Will
advise with the officials on the subject
OF negotiating a reciprocity treaty, and
also a parcels postal convention between
the United States and Venezuela.
The movement for a reciprocity treaty
between Venezuela and the United States
is rather an unexpected step, as Venezuela
was one of the few South American
countries which did not make a reciprocity
treaty under the former system. At that
time, however, Venezuela suffered by hav-
ing her coffee practically excluded from
the United States because Brazil and other
coffee producing countries had reduced
their duties under reciprocity treaties
This experience makes Venezuela one of
the first southern republics to consider
the question of reciprocity treaty under
the Dingley tariff law.
