cable message sent by Captain General
Weyler to Premier Sagasta placing his
post in Cuba az the disposal - tae gov
ernment, he said:
IF the functions with which they had
entrusted me had been merely those OF
governor general OF Cuba, should have
FASTENED to resign. But the two-fold
character Of my mission and my duty
as commander-in-chie: in the face Of
The enemy, prevent my rendering a res
ignation."
Senor Sagasta replied: Il thank you
fer your explanation and value your
frankness. l wish to assure you that
the government recognizes your SER
vices and values them as they deserve,
but l think a change Of policy, in Or
der to succeed, requires the authorl-
tieis should be at one with he minis
terry. This has nothing to do with the
confidence felt in you by the govern
ment, for the liberals have always said
the responsibility for a given policy does
not fall upon those VINO carry it out.
