Weyler Sounds the Alarm and Pro
claims His Policy-Believes a Mil
itary Dictatorship at Hand.

London, Aug. 3O.-GeneraI Weyler, &C
cording to special dispatch from Madrid
published here this afternoon, has outlined
his future rolicy. He proposes, it appears,
to be independent of both the government
and of the opposition always aiming TO
preserve the country and to reot game the
army
He expresses the belief that the Carlists
have plenty of money, some of which he
alleges comes from France. He SAYS that
the Republicans have no personal animus
against the queen, their only object being
to adopt firm International stand, one
result of which would be to check in some
measure ''England's ambition
The substance of General Weyler's dec
laration to the delegation of the Weyler
club is rs follows:
THE general intends to advocate a
sweeping policy of reha Utilization of the
government. lie will refuse to aid in any
temporary measures and will propose a
military dictatorship for the reorganiza-
he remarked, had been lost as well as the
Antilles. owing solely to military deficien-
cieS.
General Weyler expressed the belief
that the present cabinet viii be succeeded
by a military dictatorship or by a SilVela
ministry. He added that he did not de-
sire a change in the form of government.
but he pointed out that the Cariists have
an excellent organization.
Continuing, the former captain general
of Cuba urged Spain 10 abandon her at
tiIuue OF international neutrality IN order
to be prepared to oppose Great Britain
when the latter, desiring 10 enlarge her
sphere of action at Gibraltar, demands the
Sierra Carbonera. Melilla, or other adj
jacent Spanish possessions. The general
deemed it better to lose the Philippine
islands. the Importance of which he did
not appreciate, than the territory around
Gibraltar.
In conclusion he deplored the loss of the
Antilles for the sake of the Spaniards
who resided in the islands and also for
the sake of the country's commerce.

ALARMING CONDITIONS.
Increasing Sickness In Porto Rico
and Its Impelling Causes.

Philadelphia, Aug. 3O-The yacht
May which arrived in this city today
from Porto Rico via Newport News,
brought the report of the representa-
tiVes of the national relief committee
administer to Italy William Potter,
I! William Van Rennsaeler, Louis c. Van
UXem and DR.. G. G. Graft, who went
to Porto Rico to superintend the distri-
button OF the supplies sent to the sick
soldiers by the commission. The May,
which was loaned to the government by
MI Van Rennsaeler left this city on
Aug. 6 and reached Ponce, Porto Rico
Aug. H.
After giving details of the distribu-
ton OF the supplies the report says:
There are about $1,000 American
soldiers in Porto Rico and on the day
OF our departure, Aug. %, there were
over 1000 men on the sick list. OF this
number one-half were cases requiring
prompt and careful treatment. There
was large number of typhoid cases,
but on the 22d inst. this disease was
not on the increase, a fact which indi-
Gates that the malady had been carried
from the camps at home and is not in
digenouS to Porto Rico. However there
WAS very large increase in diarrhoea,
dysentery, dengue or breakbone fever,
and malarial disorders due to the hot,
unhealthy, rainy season Just COM
Inenced. which causes the water supply
to be filled with malarial germs from
the constant decaying Vegetation
All medical authorities in the army
in Porto Rico agree that the sick list
is increasing and that an alarming con-
dition may be expected unless the war
department promptly arranges bar
racks for the army of occupation and
Immediately provides additional trans
ports, the hospital ship Relief being in
sufficient to relieve such of the sick
men as car be safely transferred home
the convaleScentS and those enerVated
by climatic conditions 1t is impossible
for men from a northern climate to re-
cuperate in a tropical country during
its most unhealthy season.
Attached to the report is a letter from
General Miles thanking the commits
sion on behalf of the army supplies
and for big consignment of American
flags, also a letter from Colonel Green
leaf expressing thanks for the gift of
an ice-malling machine in which he
SAYS:
Il cannot adequately express the sat
isfaction with which the results OF this
donation will be received by she sick
Ice in this country is an expensive lux
ury costing $50 per ton in Porto Rican
money, which necessitates the exercise
OF rigid economy on the part of our
medical officers in its use. To have the
output OF machine at our disposal is
a blessing the benefits of which can
only be appreciated by those who have
served in these hospitals
