NO.
HAS WEYLER RESIGNED
A Rumor to That Effect is
Current.
IT IS DENIED AT THE PALACE
Nevertheless It Is Generally Believed
In Havana Premier Canovas '
Statement.
Nkw Yobk, March 3. A special to the
Herald from Havana says :
The startling rumor that General Wey
ler had resigned swept like wildfire
through Havana, originating from an
apparently worthy source. It was, how
ever, promptly denied at the palace.
When Martinez de Campos retired his
reported resignation was also denied in
Havana, in official circles, up to the last
hour.
THE SPANISH 1'KKMIEK.
Be .Expresses His Opinion la an In
terview. New Yobk, March 3. A special to the
Herald from Madrid savs :
Premier Canovas last night made the
following statement : "I cannot under
stand bow some people in the United
States have got it into their minds- that
we.or rather General Weyler, is carrying
on war in Cuba on inhuman lines. It
is all false, nothing more than a tissue
of falsehood. I venture to state that up
to the present no American consul has
been able to notify his government of a
single instance of croetly on Weyler's
part, for the eimple reason that no such
thing occurs.
"As a matter of fact, I have given the
most stringent orders that Weyler is to
be most human. No inhumanities or
cruelties have been perpetrated at all.
The latter are all lh imApinat.inn nf
friends of Cuba in the United' States.
Look at General Weyler's proclamation.
It is nothing more than what obtains
between civilized nations when at war
with one another, as for instance, in the
Franco-German war. As a matter of
fact, the Germans shot spies because the
latter did not carry on the war as recog
nized on acknowledged lines : that is, by
fighting face to face with the enemy.
As is natural, we do the same with spies
in Cuba, simply because the latter do
not fight according to the maxims of war
as it is recognized by civilized nations.
Is there any cruelties in this? It is, I
admit, inhuman, but then, all warfare
is inhuman.
"Then, again, I read of the sympathy
expressed by United States senators for
poor Cuban insurgents. How ridiculous !
And how about the poor white inhabit
ants of Cuba, Spanish subjects, whose
whole interests are bound up in the isl
and? Is there no sympathy for them?
Surely the latter deserve it more than
the former.
"I consider Spain has been grossly
calumniated, andwI venture to think that
the 6elf-respecting, nonjingo portion of
the United States electorate are of the
same opinion.
"You see yourself what stringent
measures I have adopted to protect the
persons of representatives of friendly
powers in Madrid, and, indeed, through
out Spain. I will not allow any disturb
ance of public peace, because I feel con
vinced that, in spiteof what has occurred,
the practical portion of the community
of the United States will recognize the
impossibility of recognizing the Cuban
insurgents as belligerents. The indig
nation throughout Spain is immense,
but I shall keep it in bounds. Today
the cival guard in Barcelona charged' a
crowd of students. The civil guard did
well, because I gave orders that there
was to be no disturbance of the public
peace. ;

strongly opposed to the present recogui
tion of the belligerency of the Cuban in
surgeots, and to any declaration concern'
ing their independence as embodied in
the recent congressional resolutions.
The following is not an official statement,
but it is known from careful inquiry
that it accurately represehts the admin
istration's views of the matter.
While the president and members of
the cabinet personally feel the sympathy,
common to all Americans, with the Cu
bans who are contending for self govern
ment, they feel that in their official ac
tion they should not depart from the
well-settled principles which were fol
lowed by former presidents and secretar
ies of state during prior insurrections in
Cuba.
These were clearly set forth by Gener
al Grant in his message of 1875, in which
he dealt with the question of the recog
nition of Cuban independence. and also
with that of the recognition of belliger
ency. CKLIOM INDORSED.
His Presidential Aspirations Announced
in Convention. -
Spbingfield, 111, March 2. The re
publican county convention last night
adopted resolutions indorsing Shelby M.
Cullom, for president of the United
States. Hon. David M. Littler, Who
presided at the convention, announced
that he -was authorized to Bay that Cul
lom was a candidate for president. The
20 delegates were instructed for Cullom
for preeident. McKinley received but
two votes out of 155 in the convention,
bat w.hen Horace Clark, of Mat toon, can
didate for governor, addressed the con
vention, the name of McKinley was re
ceived with cheering as weU as that of
Cullom. "
A sensation was created by the speech
of Joseph A. Drake, a young colored
lawyer, who was defeated for represen
tative. He declared that the negro must
receive recognition- from republicans;
that they were aroused from Cairo to
Chicago, and that if they were not ac
corded proper recognition, tkey would
be heard from in November. Other na
tionalities bad obtained recognition from
the republicans, and the negroes, who
wield an enormous vote in the republi
can party, must also be recognized.
