DECISION OF A
PRIVATE UPHELD

MADRID, April 27.-Gcneral Wcyler
captain general of Cuba during the most
| critical period Of its transition, j. one OF
the few remaining figures of the Spanish
American war. Practically all the others
are g~one--Admiral Cervera, who was first
bottled up in Santiago harbor and then
made the dash against the fleets of Samp-
son and Schley; General Linares who
fought the land fight at Santiago against
Shafter, Leonard Wood, Roosevelt and
the others; and General Blanco who was in
command at Havana until the evacuation.
General Weylcr. IA one of the captain
generals of Spain, continues 10 be among
the notable personalities Of public life. His
high military rank gives him "A permanent
place in the senate, and his short stocky
figure is seen often about the streets dur
ing the sessions. IL IL his old rank, how
ever, and not his present part in public af-
fairs, that gives him his prominence, for
a new generation has come or since his
time, and the memories of the war are
almost entirely forgotten.
The captain generals are received in
royal audience each year, and this brought
about a remarkable incident in the case of
General Weyler when he made his last call
of These calls are attended
with great ~formality, the king in full uni
form and the captain generals also in bril-
liant uniform with a staff of attendants.
General Weyler's audience had concluded
and he was about to withdraw. As he
passed throuh the outer court, one OF the
sentinels stood rigid at the the gate. The
sentinel looked straight ahead, motionless
as the captain general passed, paying no
attention TO his exalted military rank. Not
ing this, General Weyler turned sharply on
the soldier, and commanded:
present arms"
The sentry oheyed the command and
came to present, while the captain general
feeling that the dignity Of his command
had been suitably respected passed on.
But this did not end the incident. The
sentry, being one of the royal guard,
promptly reported the occurrence 10 the
captain of the royal guard~. making the
point tina, while The king and the royal
ihhhllI "tIt III '' p"i"'' ihc ~"'R'' ~ ~
royal guard was reserved exclusively ior
members Of the royal family, and that any
s~aluting If persons outside the royal circle
was ~dcro:ation Of the dignity due them.
The captain of the guard sustained the
sentry. Int IA u captain general wa~ III

the view of the captain general and Of The
plain soldier, and finally gave his decision

cases on record between the highest and
the lowest rank in the army, in which q
soldiers view has been upheld against a
captain general.
