General Weyler Defes the Present
Spanish Government.
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY ALSO ATTACKED
In an Interview, Spanish General
Ochando Supports WeyIer.
SPECIAL VOTE NECESSARY

B1ARR1TZ, January 3.-According to mail
advices sent here from Madrid, in order to
escape the censorship, the Nacional. Gen.
Wey!ers organ, has published a defiant ar
ticle. pointing out that, although the gov
eminent has seized the generals protest,
1t could not prevent it's being read in every
barrack room.
The Nacional. it further appears, attacks
President Mckinley and the United States
minister at Madrid, Gen. Stewart l.. Wood
ford. in unnieasured terms.
The Nacional has twice been confiscated,
but the manager of that paper is deputy
and therefore cannot be prosecuted. AS he
declares himself to be the author of the
incriminated articles, no other person con-
nected with the paper can be prosecuted.
Moreover. Madrid jures usually acquit per-
sons charged with press offenses.
Dinners Have Portent.
The number of dinners attended recently
by Gen Weyler and other officers of high
rank is much commented upon, and is re-
garded as intended to show that the former
captain general of Cuba is strongly sup
ported by the military. 1t is even said that
on the day he presented to the Queen Re
gent his protest against the wording of
President McKinley's message to Congress
eighteen of the commanding officers of
Madrid visited Gen. Weyler and congratu-
lated him.
Although the liberal newspapers maintain
that Gen. Weyler's proceedings are unim-
portant, it is recalled that military ques-
lions in Spain frequently lead to grave Sc
quels.
The Correspondence says that Marshal
Blanco, the captain-general OF Cuba. COM
putes that, besides the 4O,U0.OOO pesetas re-
quired for the war. 20.OO0.OOO pesetas
monthly are necessary to pay arrears.
Besides the projected issue of 100000. 900
pesetas of Cuban bonds, now held by the
Bank of Spain as guarantee, the minister
of finance proposes TO issue 2OO.OOOOC0
pesetas IN Spanish bonds, the security be-
ing the customs.
Generals Approve WeyIer.
MADRID. January IA number of Span
ish generals have been interviewed re-
testing against the alleged reflections upon
Congress. Marshal Campos reserved his
opinion.
Gen. Dominguez approved of the govern
ment's course in submitting the matter to
oourt-martial, adding that if President
Mckinley mas been guilty of insolence, it
is the governments place to protest"
Gen. Ochando approved of Gen. Weylers
action.
Confirmed From Madrid.
LONDON. January IA special dispatch
from Madrid says:
Gen. Weyler has defied the government
to take proceedings against him. AS he Is
a senator. a special vote Is necessary to de-
PriVe him of immunity from prosecution,

attacks on the United States"

Objections to Senior Rodriguez of the
Greater Central American Republic.

Objections to Senior Rodriguez of the
Greater Central American Republic.
Information has been received here to the
effect that Senior Jose de Rodriguez, min
lister Of the Greater Republic of Central
America to the United States, who is now
in Nicaragua on leave Of absence. Is not
likely to return to this country as the dip
lomatic representative of the diet Of Gen.
trail America. Senator Morgan has indi-
Gated that he will ask the President to de-
clare Senior Rodriguez persona non grata
should he return to this country, with the
view of insuring his recall. The objection
to Senior Rodriguez is based upon his al
legged action in urging the diet not to per-
nit Nicaragua and Salvador to receive Mr.
VIM. L. Merry as the diplomatic represen-
tative Of the United States on the ground
that he should be accredited to the diet.
Senator Morgan's objection is that Senior
Rodriguez interfered with legislation by
writing a letter to Secretary of State Oh
ney, in which he criticized the Nicaraguan
canal bill pending in the Senate.

MONEY FOR PENSIONS.
Commissioned Evans Thinks There
VIII He a Deficiency.

In the estimate of the Secretary Of the
Treasury for pensions the amount required
is placed at $14O.OOO.OOO for the next fiscal
year. This estimate was concurred in by
the commissioner of pensions. although in
a discussion before the committee having
this matter in charge he broadly stated
that $14O,OO0,OOO would not be enough to
pay the pensioners the next year. When
asked why he had estimated below the
probable expenditure, he explained that
deficiency occurred last year, and, after
consultation with the Secretary of the
Treasury, it was decided to recommend the
same figure for next year, as they had no
facts upon which to base even an approx
innate increase. He was confident. how
ever, that deficiency would occur, but
offered no explanation of mis- reasons, nor
of the amount Of the deficiency.
