WEYLER'S DEFENSE
Did All He Could for the Reconcen-
tradoeS

LONDON, May 3.-The Daily Telegraph
publishes this morning an interview with
General Weyler, former governor general
Of Cuba.
In replying to a suggestion that some
people here thought his administration
harsh, General Weyler said: II don I
know. 1 don't trouble to consider. 1 am
a military man, and do not live for myself,
Tut for my country. l was sent to make
war upon the rebels, and l did this, and
neither more nor less than this. When q
rebel was caught with arms in his hands I
treated him as prisoner of war. and sent
him before the tribunal exactly as has
Teen done before me. When l caught q
dastardly dynamiter of ruffianly assassin
who stabbed unarmed men or violated
women, once his guilt was made clear. or
cered him to be shot. If that be cruelty,
certainly 1 was cruel, and am prepared to
become so again.
II never pardoned a single dynamter or
assassin in Cuba. All were shot. I am
old-fashioned enough to think myself
merciful I was rigorous, just and reso-
lutte. 1 had problem to solve by the
rules of military science. l have earned
the hatred and provoked the curses of the
sworn enemies of Spain. but it will never
cause me bad nights sleep.
II did not originate the scheme of recon-
centratio If it were mine, would avoid
it. The scheme was the upshot Of war.
the growth of abnormal conditions, rather
than deliberate plan. 1t was ripe in the
time of Campos. I did everything for
them except to give up the soldiers rations
and to allow our troops to die of hunger.
am a soldier, and 1 have never considered
it my duty to wrap my rifle balls in wadding
lest l hurt my enemy.
"War is war. and not picnic. In the
present crisis we should make a dash to
the enemy's country. 1t would do more
good than the most regular mechanical de-
Tense 1 am ready to return to Cuba to-
morrow and help repair the mistakes of the
past"
The herald., 1898-05-03

during last autumn, financial and trade
questions remained unaltered and the
position has been aggravated daily by the
fact that resources obtained under such
difficulties are being rapidly extended
The rise of exchange on foreign coun-
tries, the crisis in agriculture, the heavy
taxes and high duties imposed by the tar
if now in force have decreased imports
and tend to limit them to absolute neces-
stiles and articles that cannot be produced
cheaply at home.
Exports, although they have recovered
during recent years from the loss suffered
after the remuneration of the commercial
treaties, are not really as beneficial to the
producer as they appear. The want OF
capital and the consequent necessity to
sell at once make the manufacturer a
ready prey to the Spectator, who thus
gains the greater share of the profits.
"Great Britain and France hold nearly
half of the entire commerce of Spain. or
the Spanish colonies, Cuba has 10 per cent,
Porto Rico 4 per cent and the Philippines
3.9 per cent. The large imports from the
United States consist chiefly of lumber
and raw cotton"

Intervention Talk

| There is no talk yet of European inter-
vention, but one of the most beneficial re-
suits Of Deweys victory yesterday is that
deep impression has been made upon the
European powers, who can now no longer
afford to blind themselves to the fact that,
man to man, the American navy is equal
to any In the world. There was no exhi-
bition such as was sneeringly predicted in
the European press, of weakness in the
American fleet, caused by the fact that It
was of heterogeneous composition. 1t is
safe to say that after the battle at Manila
an American flag always floats over an
American crew, regardless Of the nation
atty or racial descent of the men who fight
the guns.
The impression produced is likely to
deter the European powers from hasty in.
PREVENTION, and the present indications are
that we shall be left to settle our affairs
with Spain at our own pleasure, providing
we do not get involved in the eastern ques-
ton through obtaining possession of the
PHILIPPINES.

UNDER SEALED ORDERS
The Paris, Now Yale, Not Now Elud-
ing Spaniards

NEW YORK, May 1.-The steamship
Yale, formerly the American liner Paris,
left her docks shortly before o'clock to-
night under sealed orders.
When the vessel swung out from her
pier hundreds of steam vessels on the river
saluted her with their whistles, and a
number of small cannon in the vicinity
doomed salutes. On the bridge of the Yale
stood Captain Watkins. her former COM
mander, and by his side Captain w. c.
Wise of the United States navy, her pres
ent commander. A Sandy Hook pilot was
also on the bridge. The Yale carried a
full supply of stores for an extended cruise
and had 5000 tons Of coal aboard. The last
of the provisions were put in the hold
just as she sailed. A navy yard tug with
the last of the ammunition and with rapid
fire guns arrived at the pier in the after
noon, and the supplies were rapidly hoist
ed aboard the Yale.

ONE CENT A MILE
For Carrying the Troops Across the
Country

CHICAGO, May 2.-The rate to be made
by the railroads for the transportation Of
troops will be one cent per mile. The roads
have decided that it should be double that,
but the government has formed different
opinion and the chances seem to be that
the opinion of the government will pre-
vail. Today the roads received word from
Washington to the effect that the officials
did not think they should be called on to
pay more for the transportation of troops
than during the civil war, and 1T would
not pay over one cent per mile, which, Is
the rate paid for traffic during the years
from 1861 to 1865. The roads were given
to understand that the government was
DESTROYS that they should make a rate of
their own, but in any event they would not
pay over one cent. The matter will be
discussed at a joint meeting of the east
ern and western lines, which Is to be held
next Friday. There is no doubt what the
rate will be,

MANILA
Dewey Will Need Help and Troops on
the West Coast Are Most
Available

DENVER, Col, May 2.-According to
Col. w. j. Volkmar, adjutant general OF
the department Of Colorado, the volunteers
raised in the states west of the Missouri
river will probably be sent across the Pa
cific ocean to hold the Philippine islands.
1T will be necessary to hold the islands, -
said Col. Volkmar, while the war is being
prosecuted in other districts, and what
would be more natural than for the troops
recruited in the west to be placed aboard
transports in the harbor of San Francisco
and sent to occupy the important posts IN
the Philippine islands? The government
may dicker with Japan as to the future
ownership of the islands, but in the mean
time the territory must be securely held.
This does not mean that the war will at
once come to a close. That does not follow
by any means, although the loss of the
Philippines will be a death blow from
which Spain cannot recover"

boats coming out of the river. The Eagle
Immediately returned the fire with her six
Founders and held her ground until the
Marblehead came up. Both vessels then
fired broadside after broadside up the en-
trance to the river. The boats coming
down were two torpedo boats and one tor
pedo boat destroyer. After twenty min
utes' firing by the Eagle, the last two of
which were participated in by the Marble
mead, the Spanish boats ceased firing. 1t
is considered a certainty that they were
damaged.
The Nashville brought in the prisoners
of war tonight and the Marblehead is con-
voying the prize, which, with her convoy,
is expected to arrive late tonight or early
in the morning.
The report that Yglesias, the suspected
sailor on the Puritan, had been courtmar-
tailed and sentenced to be shot is an in

of high officer of the ship, who gave the
information to an Associated Press corre-
spondent this evening. According to the
officer full investigation was made and
no evidence of criminality was found.
Yglesias was seen near the magazine, but
he made no overt attempt. He had. how
ever made indirect threats against the
ship, and the crew were much incensed
against him. For this reason it has been
decided to put him ashore tomorrow, adj
vising him to sail on the steamer leaving
for the north.

Dewey's Promotion

1t Is entirely possible that Commodore
Dewey may secure his promotion to the
rank of rear admiral through the splen-
did exhibition of pluck discretion and
gagement. The naval law, however, does
not permit of promotion except by senior
ity, so that it probably would be requisite
for congress to pass a special resolution,
such as was done in the case of Commodore
Melville, to afford him well earned pro-
motion.
