BUTCHER WEYERS
Determined to Pr. u nt Sur
render of Philippines.
BLANCO'S GREAT SORROW.
Weyler Said to be Backed by
The Army.
London, Nov. 17.—A special
from Madrid to a news agency
says that at no stage of the peace
negotiation progressing in Paris
has the Spanish populace been
more thoroughly engrossed than
the present, when it seems prob
able that the two commissions
will separate without accom
plishing a conclusion ot peace.
The feeling has been intensi
fied within the last few days
when it became apparent that
Gen. Weyler was using all pres
sure at his command to prevent
the Spanish government from
agreeing to pass over the Philip
pine islands to American con
trol.
Gen. Weyler’s large following
in military circles has been . in
cessant in the support of his
claim that Spain was not crush
ed and that the army was ready
to follow his leadership against
the Americans.
A recent audience by the
queen regent w«« usod ci~u.
Weyler in urging his p ea, and
one of his strongest arguments
was a paragraph in a letter from
Marshal Blanco to Senator Tin
ado, which said:
“1 he keenest sorrow of my
life is surrendering Cuba with
an army of 150,000 men and 200
guns to an enemy who claims
to haue conquered Cuba while
we are possessed of such re
sources.”
The Madrid correspondent to
The Standard says that there is
considerable disappointnent in
high quarters at the fiilure of
the Spanish peace conmission
ers to obtain iinportan conces
sions, at least finandal ones,
from the United Siate-
Senors Montero Ria, Garni
ca and Abazuza are eproachod
with conducting th negotia
tions too much like Lwyers and
without sufficiently ttending to
the more conciliator suggestion ,
of their colleagues n the com
mission. j
In the same straa it is ar
gued that Senor lontero Rios ,
j would undoubted! earn popu- (
larity by declinin to sign peace |
on such conditioi and by patri- (
otically throwingp his mission. |
i But all sensible people share ,
i Senor Sagasta’s pinion that it
: would be better) secure peace
lon any terms, wile protesting
against ungenpns treatment. ]

1 Paris, Nav. 17.—The speech of
F Joseph Chamberlain, British see*
» retary of state for the Colonies, at
b Manchester yesterday has had a
j disquieting effect upon French offi
j cial circles, where it had been ex
pected that the evacuation of Fash*
g oda would sati fy Great Britain.
Mr. Chamberlain's statements
are regarded here as indicating
' Great Britain’s desire to discuss
and settle all questions pending,
1 while she is in a state of preparod
t ness to exert pressure in support
-of her views.
I High officials suggest that the
i result of the British attitude may
. bs«a close understanding between
France and Germany on colonial
matters. They say suob an under
r standing would meet with the sup-
* port of Russia, would find ardent
adherents among French officers
9 and would be welcomed by the
French nation at large. The Soir
’ says:
t “The national defense group in
the chamber met today and in*
i s'ructed their executive commit
tee to interview M. Delcaase. miu-
1 inter of foreign affairs, with regaid
s to Mr. Chamberlain's speech. I
) was also decided to propose as the
order of the day in the obani
on Friday a resolution pledging
the government to assure the effi
ciency of the national defense.”
1 J, U - - ,
tion regarding the Philippines,
refers to it as “obviously futile
and absurd.”
The Spanish cabinet, says
The Times, has no intention of
breaking off the negotiates. It
is only prolonging them in or
der to familiarize the public
mind in Spain with the inevit
able concessions Certainly there
is no need for the United States
to send a fleet to Spain, as they
could easily enforce submission
without that. Spain would b e
foolish to sulk, and thus lose the
money compensation America
is now willing to pay.
The Paris correspondent of
The Daily Telegraph says:
“I understand that Benor Sa- i
gasia desires to protract the (
Paris negotiations te the utmost,
bjeause he fears, first, that the I
signature of a peace treaty will ]
be the end of hie public life,
and in the second place, became
be desires to stave off, if possi
ble, the fall of the dynastay.” i
