MADRID, April 10. via Bayonne,
France, April 1.-THE feature OF the
opposition press IS the endeayor to
bring General weyler to the front and
make him the champion OF the cause OF
revolution under the Gulse OF a saviour
OF the national honor. The general to-
day undoubtedly has numerous follow

ever since his return from Cuba, have
violently denounced him, are now laud-

The following quotation from the. Pats
has much between the lines: "Carl!sl

OF order reveal anxiety.
The Heraldo and Correo Espanol con-

| Continuing, the Pals quotes English
newspaper statements to the effect that
Emperor Francis Joseph, OF Austria. Is
working for peace in Cuba, on the
same footing as In Egypt and expresses
Indignation. at the comparing OF Cuba
with Egypt and Spain with Turkey. I.
then prints the speech made by General
Bourbon de Castelvi In front OF the
Military Club. quoting his as saying:

Enrique, were not always prepared to

The mob in the street and the officers
on the balconies applauded this speech.
Warrants are out for a number o.
other prominent Carllsts and for many
notorious revolutlonists.
It's evident that all the an!moslty OF
| the crowd Is directed against the gov
crnment and not against the United
States.
