BARE POLITICAL
PLOT IN SPAIN WITH
WEYLER CONCERNED

Paris, June 24-(P)-The discovery
OF a vast political plot in Spain is
reported by the Madrid correspon-
dent Of the Journal. General Weyler
Of Cuban fame (the duke of Rubi)
the correspondent says. was the
signer Of a manifesto to the coun-
try, which was discovered by the
police. Many persons have been ar
rested.
According to the Journal, General
Weyler is now at Palma, Island of
Majorca, under close surveillance. 1t
is understood that General Aguilera,
former minister of war, was also in
volved in the plot.
The movement was due to come to
a head last night. 1t was directed
against the regime of Premier Primo
de- Rivera, and was backed by Lib
eral and Republican elements.
Those arrested included many IN
tellectuals, notably a son of the well
known sculptor, Mariana Benlliure,
and the editor of La Libertad, of
Madrid and the former Republican
deputies. Marcelino Domengo ana
Barriobero.
The Journal correspondent says
the government is master ofe the sit
uation; the country is calm.
Sketch of Weyler
General Weyler is remembered
among Americans as the man whose
rule in Cuba, after he was sent there
in 1896 by the Spanish government,
was merciless and as having much
to do with the bringing on of the
Spanish-American war. His policy
raised storm of Indignation
throughout the United States. lead
ing finally to a demand for his re-
call. This was granted by Spain in
October /, 1897.
During the Civil war in aAmeric
General Weyler was military at
tache of the Spanish legation at
Washington and followed General
Sheridan in several campaigns. Be-
fore being sent to Cuba he was
captain-general of the Canary ISL
ands and in 1888 was sent to the
Philippines to put down a native ris-
ing. He was captain-general in
Catalonia in the early nineties, maxi
ing himself the terror of anarchists
and socialists there.

MUSIC
MARIA JERITZA,s RECITAL.

Maria Jeritza, stately and beautiful,
we'll deserving from every point OF
view to be as she is, the prima donna
of the Metropolitan House, in New
York, conquered with both her charm
ing personality and her marvellous
singing an audience that filled Poll
Theater Yesterday afternoon to the
limits OF standing-room capacity. Nine.
Jeritza Is a singer with a tremendous,
rich dramatic-soprano voice; she seems
perfectly verSed in the technicalities
of the art of singing; she is one of a
small group who know how to use
their mouths for enunciation, and also
she is a gracious person. In short,
Nine. JeritZa is Il fine artiSt-and the
story is told. Moreover, she was
graceful in spite of a still bothersome
sprained ankle yesterday.
The great blonde Viennese opened
her program with the famous aria
from Jeanne dare" which she sang
with well chosen phrashg and clean
cut enumeration, so that practically no
word of her excellent French was lost.
She followed the aria with a group of
German lieder, which included Rich.

Louis Potter, organist, and Mrs.

night that was attended by a group
of leading musicians of the city who
counted the Potters in their midst
until last Fall, when this talented
couple picked up their household
goods and moved to Charleston, w.

taste by keeping the melody simple
yet giving it little twists at the end
of phrases-what might be called mu-
sical O. Henry endings. The singer
seemed to thoroughly enjoy singing
DIR. Hennemann's song and, following
it, insisted he rise in the box where
he and Mrs. Hennemann were sit
ting, and share in the applause. She
gave a pretty gesture when she
tossed him a rose.
The English encores to this group
were Homage to Spring" by Mac
F'adden; Joy" by Harvey Gaul:
Liza Lehmann's Cuckoo Song" and
Birth of Morn" by Leoni. 1t didn't
matter if the singer did leave out
three of the five progressive "Dawns"
in this familiar song, for she sang 1t
joyously with adequate support by
Emil Polak, her remarkably fine ac-
oompanist. A flashing glance as of a
child who has broken a dish and Is
scared for an instant of what is going
to happen flew from JeritZa's eyes
when she realized the dawns she had
omitted, but nobody in the audience
cared: she could have left them all
out and everybody would have been
just as happy, so wonderful Is her
personality. Also. highly to be COM
,mended is this singer, who thinks
enough of her audience to learn her
songs and give them without the
pallid discourtesy of the little black
book of words. She did not use notes
for a single humber.
