Madrid, April 29.--General Weyler In the
the offensive against America. He justi-
| fled his administration In Cuba. In q clear
voice and amid marked attention from the
whole house and galleries the ex-captain
general OF Cuba apologIzed for prolonging
the debate, pleading that he could not
allow the opportunity to pass for defending
himself against criticism. With much
warmth and sternness he defended his
political and military acts Of severity in
Cuba showing that he deemed them wi
tally necessary and that they were justified
by the results produced. So much was the
case, he declared, that had he been al
lowed six months longer he woull have
entirely crushed the instruction and
would have realized the promise he made
to Senior Canovas del Castillo, that by
April, 1898, he would be in a position to
offer him 10000 veterans to attack the
United States.
General Weylcr severely criticised the
home rule policy in Cuba and the time
selected for decreeing It and he concluded
with passionate appeal for display Of
energy, urging the government to take the
offensive with vigor on both land and sea.
as remaining on the defensive was 1.-The
worst possible policy with such an enemy
The Duke of Tetuan and Lieutenant Cen
eral Azcarraga declared that the conserv-
alive party always approved and accepted
the responsibility for the acts of General
Weyler in Cuba,
These declarations afforded Senior Moret,
secretary OF the colonies. an opportunity of
avoiding debate with Senior Weyler, Senior
Moret declaring that such course would
be unadvisable at present and would bet
ter be left for "a day when statesmen can
find time for retrospective discussions.
