PORTO RICO's TELEGRAPH.
The System Will Be Temporarily
Controlled by the Government.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The war depart
ment received advices from Porto Rico on
the work being done by the little army OF
signal service men on the island. There are
300 of these men now there and they will
have to assume the control and operation
of the government lines Of telegraph. The
lines are now, Of course, operated by the
Spaniards but when the possession of the
island is transferred to the United States
the signal service will have to take charge
until the future status Of the system Is de-
termined. This government always has been
opposed to a government telegraph system
and signal service officials say it is not i'm
probable that the lines on the new island
vate enterprise through bids for its purchase.
This, however, has not yet been taken UP
officially, and government control will have to
be assumed at least until the ultimate dispo-
sition Is determined at all the Offices on the
entire telegraph system Of Porto Rico. Blue
print diagrams Of the system have been for
warded here to the signal service authorities.
They show that aside from a line that runs
irregularly along the coast, there are two
lines running directly north and south and
others forming a network through the island.
The principal telegraph stations which the
signal service will have to man are at San
Juan, from which there is a double line to
Caucuas, Ponce, from which there is a
double line to the shore; Majaguez, Yauco.

LONDON. Aug. S0.-Gen. Weyler, ac-
cording TO a special dispatch from
Madrid, published here this afternoon.
has outlined his future policy. He
proposes, it appears, to be independ-
ent, both Of the government and of
the opposition, always aiming to pre-
serve the country and to reorganize
the army" He expresses the belief
that the Carlists have plenty Of money,
some or which. he alleges, comes from
france. He says the United Repub-
l1cans have no personal animus against
the queen, their only object being TO
adopt firm national stand, one re-
suit of which will be to check in some
measure Englands ambition"
Gen. Weyler's statement was made
10 a committee Of the Weyler club,
which called upon him this morning
at Palma, MaJorca, where he is stay
ing. This evening he expects to speak
before a club convention. It is rep
resented that the general is returning
to politics in response to many APP
peals from Spain and abroad, and it is
added that he will attend the sessions
OF the cortes and eXpound his views as
to the causes of the war disasters.
The substance Of Gen. Weyler's de-
claration to the delegation Of the Wey-
Ter club Is as follows:
Inc general intends to advocate a
sweeping policy of rehabilitation of the
government. He will refuse to aid in
any temporary measures and will pro-
pose military dictatorship for the re-
organization Of the army and navy.
Their honor, he remarked, had been
lost, as we'll as the Antilles, owing
solely to military deficiencies. Gen.
Weyler expressed the belief that the
present cabinet will be succeeded by a
military dictatorship or by a Silvela
ministry. He added that he did not
desire to change the form Of govern
ment, but he pointed out that the Car
lists have an excellent organization.
Continuing, the former captain gen.
eral of Cuba urged Spain to abandon
her attitude of international neutrality,
in order to be prepared to oppose Great
Britain, when the latter, desiring to
enlarge her sphere of action at Gibral-
tar, demands the Sierra Carbonera,
Melilla or other adjacent Spanish pos
sessions. The general deemed it better
to lose the Philippine islands, the i'm
portance Of which he did not appre-
ciate, than territory around Gibraltar.
In conclusion Gen. Weyler deplored the
loss of the Antilles. for the sake of the
Spaniards who resided in the islands

He sent the following message:
Adjt. Gen. Corbin, Washington. D. c.:

members of the Twelfth Minnesota claiming
that 80 per cent of the soldiers desire to be
mustered out. That being the case l most
earnestly request that this petition be grant
ed. Loren Fletcher.
He also notified the committee of the
Twelfth regiment at Lexington, KY,
concerning the action he had taken. It
is impossible to state what action the
war department will take in regard to
the matter but 1t is probable that those
regiments in which the men are a unit
in seeking to be mustered out will have
their request granted, especially If they
are backed up by the representative
and senators Of their respective states.

Aspirants for the wisconsin Demo-

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. SO.-The
Democratic state convention meets in
this city at the Lyceum theater at noon
tomorrow to nominate a full state tick
ct. All the interest 50 far has been con-
fined to the head of the ticket. Judge
Hiram W. Sawyer, eff Hartford, and
Timothy E. Ryan. Waukesha, have
been the most active aspiTants for the
governorship nomination. The cam
paign for delegates has been a very
quiet one and the majority of the 663
members of the convention will go into
the hall uninStructed. Ryan is known
TO have a large majority of the dele
gates from Milwaukee county, but the
supporters Of Sawyer claim their man
will have a big lead in the rest of the
state, and the outlook at present seems
TO favor the Hartford man. w. H.
Rogers, of Madison, is also a candidate.
1t is believed many or the delegates
will cast their ballots for former Gov.
George w. Peck, but Mr.. Peck, as
chairman Of the state central commit
tee. has not been working for the NOM
ination, and is not a candidate. How
ever, there is a possibility that the
convention might get into a wrangle
over the other candidates and throw
the nomination to the ex-governor.
Though the state central committee
will not choose a temporary chairman
until tonight, eX-Attorney General
O'COnnor, of Milwaukee, will undoubt-
eddy be selected as the presiding off,
Ger.
The platform will declare for the free
coinage of silver. Little or no atten-
ton has thus far been paid to the bal
anCe of the ticket.
