THE wEYLER LETTER
HAVANA, March 1S-Last night a cor
respondent saw Francis de los Guzman, to
whom General Weyler is alleged to have
written letter published in the New Yora
Journal yesterday, apparently Suggesting
the destruction Of the United States battle
ship Maine. The former President of the
Cortes was much surprised when asked II
he had received such a letter. He said:
IT have not received any such letter from
General Weyler, and for that reason it is
impossible for anyone to have stolen such
a letter from me. I am ignorant Of the ex-
istence of such a letter, and consequently
Of It's alleged contents"
Senior Francisco Diaz, the propristor Of
the Union Constitutional. who is said to
have given a copy Of the alleged letter to
a Journal reporter at Havana, was even
more surprised when questioned on the
subject, He said: TT Is the first time I
have heard Of such a letter from General
Weyler. or from anyone else. This being
true. of course could not have given the
alleged copy to anyone"

SPANISH AFFAIRS.

A cablegram from Madrid states that
even if the House or Senate resolutions
are adopted, hope of peace need not be
abandoned, as Spain would not take
the resolutions as declaration of war.
The Spanish cabinet met at Madrid yes
terday and approved the speech to be
delivered from the throne TO the forth
coming session of the Cortes. Its tenor
is not precisely known, though it
makes an appeal to the highest patriot
ism of the nation. 1t summarizes the
international problem and points out
that Spain has always presented an &C.
commodating front in everything which
did not diminish her sovereignty
though she only agreed to grant a ces-
sation of hostilities in cuba when the
Pope made his request and the powers
joined in counselling it. The speech
from the throne appeals to the Spanish
people to rally around the young King,
save the country and to grant to the
government everything which may
be necessary and urgent to defend the
national honor and integrity.
All circles are exercised intensely in
expectation of the result of the visit to

serted on good authority that the mis-
sion to the insurgent camp is limited to
an offer to the insurgent chiefs 10 recog-

AS IT is impossible to conceive the
idea that Spain will abandon Cuba AMI

flag and withdraw her forces from that
island, at the demand of the United
States, the people OF this country may
as we'll reconcile themselves to the fact
that there will be war between the two
countries, and that, too, in short order.
The North will profit and the South
will lose by the war, and the war is I'M

good citizens support their country,
right or wrong, the people OF the South
will do their full duty in the case,

GEN. FIT2. LEE.

A dispatch from Richmond says: A
special from Chicago intimating the
possibility of Gen. Fitz Lee being a
strong candidate for the presidency has
been talked of here tonight, where the
consul general is conspicuous figure
A correspondent Monday night called
the attention of General Fitzhugh
Lee to the fact that such dispatch had
been sent from Chicago. "Oh," said
said the general in reply, there is
nothing in this matter. II simply ema-
mated FROM the excitement of these
times. | have not seen the dispatch
and know nothing about it," General
Lee stated that there is nothing what
ever ln the suggestion, end that he ha d
not thought of the idea.
General Lee at the request of Lee
Camp OF Confederate Veterans, whose
guest be was yesterday evening, made
a short speech before that organization.
He felicitated himself upon being pres
eut with the old veterans and express
cd regret that the members were not
twenty years younger SO that they
might take part in the war should
there be one. The "Star-Spangled
Banner" was sung by Capt. Frank
Cunningham and the whole camp Join
ed in the chorus with great heartiness.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is confident that
war with Spain is not more than lew
days OH and fully expects to hold the
commission of major gonsral and COM
mand U. S. troops In 40 INVASION OF
Cuba. He practically said as much IN
an interview yesterday evening and re-
peated it at a campfire of Lee Camp in
a speech made last night.
Gen. Lee would not say that the
President had promised him an ap--
pointment, but admitted that he and
Mr.. Mckinley had had some conyersa-
tiop." He was equally guarded in dis
cussing the likelihood of Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt receiving an appoint
ment on his staff, but confessed that
Mr.. hoosevelt had spoken to him
about staff appointment.
The Consul General does ndS think
the climate of Cuba will prove espec
ially disastrous to U. S. troops if they
remain under cover at night and
protect themselves from the dews.
His understanding is that the troops
for invading the island will be drawn
from all parts of the country and that
northern and southern regiments will
fight side by side.
In Richmond yesterday Genera. ZEE
repeated the declaration he made last
fall that he Will be candidate for the
United States Senate when Mr. Martin
comes up for reelection. He proposes
to make an active canvass of the State.

MRS. DAVIS AND THE CUBANS.

MRS. DAVIS AND THE CUBANS.
Mrs. Varina Jefferson Davis, who is
spending the week in Richmond, is
very much exercised over the publica-
ton of private letter written by her
to Mr.. Edgar S. Wilson, of Macon,
GA, in which she alluded to the Gu
bans as that miserable mulatto race"
and declared that the South would
have to bear the brunt of war with
Spain, while the North would reap all
the benefit.
Col. ]. NJ. Morgan gave out a letter
in her behalf last night, in which he
says:
'!Mrs. Jefferson Davis requests me to
say that the letter which was publish.
ed in Monday mornings papers was g
private letter. Mrs. Davis says further
that she had no intention of conveying
the impression that the Cubans were,
in her opinion, race of mulattoes, as
she is well aware that the colored PEG
pie only number about one.third of the
population, and that both whites and
blacks dwell upon the island as they
do in the southern States. In Mrs.
Davis's opinion it would be mistake
to annex any territory to the South
which contained any large number of
colored people. Mrs. Davis says that
she hurriedly scrubbed the note, in
answer to a war letter, and was much
chagrined whep she saw opinions VI hich
she does not seriously entertain pub
lished broadcast over the land. It is
but natural that she should deprecate
war;
