Martinez Campos , after surrendorlnr ; the supreme
premo command In Cuba to General Marln ,
made tlio following Indignant statement to
the World. The press censor forbids Its
transmission by cable , and I send It by mes
senger to Key West. General Campos' state ,
merit : "I speak bccausd I am now a private
citizen , and not the governor general. Do
It known that I have not resigned. The
, govtrnmcnt has removed me , and has done
well.
well."I
"I feel a great resentment , caused by the
conduct of the parties In Cuba. Nations ex
ercise their sovereignty In various ways ,
but the head should always rule. The prin
cipal of authority should r'.ea superior to all
( , * - . elto. -
. . / . "I have been opposed , because , while1
may break , yet I never bend. I have pre
vented n repetition of the sad scenes cf the
last war , and this has bsen distasteful to
tlio mob.
"Tho situation Is this : How Is a province
distant from the mother country , where the
political parties by the attitude they are tak
ing think to shape the policy of Spain. If
they had not this Idea I could speedily show
what the necessities of the situation are.
Hut they know that they would find mo In
the way , If they should ask mo to shoot
seventeen students , and because of this
knowledge they conspire behind my back.
"Yes , this Justifies the true' saying , that
Spain has lost the Americas becatiso of the
Spaniards themselves. Thin Is a country of
Bhop keepers , who want to govern , and It Is
they who are sweeping the cpuntry to ruin.
Tlmo will tell If this bo not to. "

WAITING FOR WEYLBR.
HAVANA , Cuba , Jan. 19. ( New York
World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) It Is
believed hero , although It la not officially
announced , that General Weyler will bo
the next governor general of Cuba. Ho Is
small , active and keen. While governor gen
eral of the Phllllpplno Islands ho was nick
named "Tho Ferret. " His military repu
tation , gained In the former , Is familiar.
Ho will require come tlmo to make prepa
rations to reorganize the forces. Therefore ,
nearly a. month of comparative quiet maybe
bo anticipated. M canwhllo the Insurgents
continue to move about the country , and
General Marln's army will endeavor to cor
ner them.
Some sugar making is going on In Puerto
Prlr.clpo province with the consent of the
Insurgents. For that reason one local paper
advises the government to stop work.
The mayor of Havana , Scnor Quesada ,
has tendered his resignation.

full force Is reported today In the country
between Sanfellpe and the border of PInar

Heavy concentration of troopg Is under
way. General Pando Is expected In Havana
by gteamcr.
A Bklrmloh. took place In the Sanfcllpo
district , but the loss was trifling. About
DOO were engaged on each side. Colonel
Garblu commanded the Spanish troops. The
country along tlio line of the Western rail
way Is owarmlng with small bands.
Complete calm rests over Havana. Gen
eral Marln , who was summarily pushed Into
Iho high office until lately filled by General
Campos , has filled some places , and Is looking
about preliminary to making appointments
for Iho remaining ones. Receiving compll
menta from visitors and officials has taken
a great deal of his time. General Campos ,
free from official cares , received many vis
itors today. This afternoon there was a
long consultation of leaders of the homo
rule party. It Is Improbable that anything
exciting will occur soon , as General Marln Is
not a man to Indulge In sensations.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 19. Senor Palma , the
rcprcsntatlvo In the United States ot the
Cuban revolutionary party , speaking of the
Bt'perscdlng of Campos , said : "This action
by the [ Spanish government was not wholly
unexpected. General Campos Is oneot Spain's
most famous commanders , and at the be
ginning ot the revolution ho boasted that
In o few weeks , and at most but a few
months , ho would surely crush out the re
bellion , but now , after eleven months , ho
lias been obliged to shut himself up In Ha
vana , unable to capo with the adroitness
end skill of the commander-ln-ehlef of the
revolutionists. The Spanlih government
thinks that by the substitution of another
eororal It will meet with better success.
Gcr.eral Campos' withdrawal from command ,
In my opinion , is uecauto tno oitictuis at
Madrid considered his treatment ot the
Cubans too humane. They want a policy
of moro cruelty pursued , and this they lope |
to have the now commander to carry out ,
thinking thus to force a people struggling
for their Independence Into subjection. No
ceneral and nothing short ot Independence
can quell the Cubans. Their strength can
not be wetikenol , and 200,000 men would
be put Into the field tomorrow If they could
b armed. It ecems to me , und I bellevo
that It will also appear to the American
people , that the mere fact o Spain's being
compelled to change generals at this time
Bhculd dsinonstrato the strength of the
revolutionists and hasten the tlmo when
the United States will recognize us. "

alter representing also West Australia and
Tasmania , with Sir W. C. Reeves , the new
agent general In London for New Zealand ,
met hero on Friday and Saturday and adopted
resolutions that Saul Samuel and Duncan
Gillies should be nominated to represent
Australia on the Pacific cable commission In
Umdon , and that they bo requested to con
sult the agents general on all Important
points. Their dcctolons are to be subjsct to
Iho approval of the- colonial government
The conference also resolved that tlio cable
should bo owned jointly by the various gov
ernments Interested , nnd that the landing
places should bo solely on territory controlled
L > y Great Britain , the cost of the construction
and maintenance to bo borne by Great Brit
ain , Canada and Australia , In the proportion
of one-third each. The route- from FIJI to
Australia Is to be to Norfolk Island , thence
bifurcating to the nearest convenient landing
places In North Zealand and Morcton bay.
It waa further resolved that It was highly
desirable that South Australia should Join
In the scheme. Responding to an Invitation
of the conference , Dr. Cockburn submitted an
offer on behalf of South Australia that she
was willing to co-operate , provided a guaran
tee , either from the contributing colonies or
from them Jointly with tin Imperial govern
ment , be given that her financial basis as
regards the Port Darwin line should be main
tained on the basis of the average for the
last five years. The conference resolved in
favor of nil the colbnles contributing equally
to the scheme.
MELBOURNE , Jan. 19. Sir W. C. Reeves
and Dr. Cockburn protested strongly against
equal payments by the colonies nnd declined
to vote on the question , because they desired
that the contributions should bs on n popula

He n Failure.
CITY OF MEXICO , Jan. 19. Neither the
citizens nor the federal government seem In
clined to glvo financial assistance to the
Mexican International exposition , and many
merchants , who are able to contribute liber
ally to the project , regard It with Indifference
nnd some with seml-hostlllty , fearing that H
will bo the means of introducing largo quan
tities of goods , which will be sold at low
prices. The Mexican Herald , reviewing the
prewnt situation , Bays there seems to be. a
great amount of apathy In business circles
regarding the enterprise and other people
unaccustomed to any manifestation of a
largo scale ot Individual Initiative are not
coming forward In support of the exposition.
This lack of encouragement , accompanied by
the lack of support from the national govern
ment In n financial way , throws It back Into
the category of a purely private undertaking
nnd renders the chances of success prob
lematical. The co-operatton of the United
States of America has been sought , and has
been given , In the belief that Mexico , In Its
national capacity , was behind the undertak
ing. If the exposition Is to go forward It
should bo llfied out of the category of ordinary
business 'ventures.

LONDON , Jan. 20. The Berlin correspond ,
cnt of the Tonics , In the course of a long
special article recalling the splendid enthu
siasm ot the victory of 1871 , says : "Can It
bo raid the heart of the German nation re
sponded yesterday with the same enthusiasm
or that In many minds the splendid memories
of the past were not to Bomo extent dimmed
and marred by disappointed expectations and
uneasy apprehensions ?
"Tho death of tuo emperors has made
room for a tovcrelgn ot a strangely different
typo , of whom all that can bo safely said
Is that In this year of his age- and the eighth
of his reign his chief characteristic Is his
vnulh "
The correspondent then proceeds to refer
to the absenceof Prince Bismarck , the king
of Saxony , the grand duke of Dadon and
General Ulumenthal from the fetes , and , re
viewing the Internal troubles and menacing
outlook abroad , he says : "Few Germans can
look forward without apprehension to the Is-
suci of the great conflict upon which It Is
universally felt the destinies of this young
empire still hang. Between the lines of thu
Dithyramblc leading articles ono may read
today something of the disappointed weari
ness and uneasy restlessness which have cast
over the glorious memories of the rnst the
shadows of an anxious future. The appeal
to aid htm In binding the greater German
empire across the sdi , though formulated at
Saturday's banquet for the first tlmo in such
Impressive and emphatic form , has probably
possessed the kaiser's mind for a long time
and probably furnished the key to Germany's
recent action In China and the Transvaal.
Yesterday's ceremony was * Invested with
every element of spectacular pomp , but even
In the moderate papers complaints are made
that It partook more of the character of a
state pageant than a national' festival. The
Kolnlscho Zeltung and the National Zeltung
are bitterly sarcastic over the exclusion of
the press. "
The Dally News hao a. dispatch from Ber
lin which says : There lo not the slightest
reason to believe that the absence of the
princes from Saturday's fetes has any polit
ical reason or significance , but It was the
cause of much unpleasant comment.
The Standard's Berlin correspondent siys :
Prlnco Bismarck received over GOO congratu
latory telegramy , Including one from Em
peror Francis Joseph and ono from King
Humbert and nearly all the German sov
ereigns. The fact that Dr. von Boetticher
received a now decoration haa revived the
rumors of hly resignation.
The Post has a Berlin dlppatch which says :
Although no direct Invitation was sent to
the German sovereigns , the question of their
coming hero was the subject of Informal
diplomatic communications. The Austrian
ambassador was summoned to an audience
of the kaiser tonight.

SaUADHOIV EXl'ECTEO IX AMERICA.
Admiral Ilelkunp AiiticlpntcM a Vlsll
from the Ilrltlnh.
NEW YORK , Jan. 20. A special from
Boston to the World says : "If the British
flying pquadron should come over to American
watera It would not astonish mo , " said near
Admiral Belknap , retired , at his homo on
Beacon street.
"I wrote to Admiral Bunco at Hampton
Holds three days ago that It would not
surprise mo In the least It the flying squadron
should bo heard from at La Guayra.
"From the > moment It was announced that
the squadron was to bo commissioned , I
made up my mind. It was for American
waters. I came to that conclusion because
matters had' quieted down In the Trans
vaal , and the excitement over Emepror Wll-
I.'am's telegram to President Krueger had
subsided. The reported activity at St.
Johns and Halifax on this sldo of the Atlantic
and at the British dock yard at Esquimau ! !
at the entrance to the straits of Juan de
Fuca In the Pacific emphatically confirms
such a conclusion.
"While some of our people are arguing
over the meaning and Intent of the Monroe
dectrlne and apologizing for everything Eng
land does of whatever character In any part
of the glebe , the British government , In
my judgment , Is determinedly preparing to
take what she claims as belonging to her
In Venezuela.
"In my opinion , if that flying squadron dees
appear In American watera , under existing
conditions , It can only bo construed as a
menace to the United States. "

WASHINGTON , Jan. 10. The present In
dications arc that the tlmo of the sc-nato
wilt bo divided this cek between the dis
cussion of finance and , the Monroe doctrines
the latter being bacvid upon the Davis reso
lution and the free coinage substitute for the
house bond bill. Several senators , Including
Teller , IXinlcl , Cockroll and White , will
speak on the- silver bill during the wcok , anil
the probabilities are that 'the consideration
of the bill will not bo concluded when the
end of tlio week Is reached. No vote will
bo secured until the Utah senators tnko their
scats , but It will coino soon after that time.
The silver substitute Is the unfinished busl-
all other matters each day after 2 o'clock ,
thus rendering 4t Impassible to take up the
Monroe resolution except during the mornIng -
Ing hour , unless by general consent.
Senator Pugh has given notice that ho will ,
on Monday , try to secure a vote on his reso
lution for the payment of government obliga
tions In coin Instead of gold alone , but his
success In that direction Is doubtful.
The tariff will bo reported during the wcok
If Senator Jones of Nevada gives his con
sent.

The house will devote the coming week to
appropriation bills unltsa n. move Is made
to recognize the Cuban belligerents. It Is
quite probable the question may bo presented
to the house In some uhape. The committee *
on foreign affairs has as yet proposed no
resolution on the subject , but there are many
Indications that the whole- question \\111 bo
considered In the house before long.
The urgent deficiency and military appro
priation bills , which are ready , go to make
up the regular work of the week.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 19. The wcathor
sureau , under the direction of Prof. Mooro.
s now engaged In experiments In the man
agement of aeroplanes or kites that promise
to bo of high scientific value. For EOJUO
time past these experiments have been made
n a small way , but last Saturday prepara
tions were made to have a test on a larger
scale of several forms of kites at the Fort
Meyer military reservation , and a company
of scientists were on hand to witness the
experiments , which , however , were post-
loneil because of the prevalence cf an almost
absolute calm. It is the nurnose of Prof.
Moore to devise a system of kites tlmt can
jo relied upon to carry n considerable weight ,
six or eight pounds , perhaps , two miles above
the surface of the earth. The klto adopted
'or the purpose Is of cellular construction ,
without the old-fashioned tall , and has a
remarkable power for lifting. It Is'Intended
to carry up to this great altitude various
jbbervatlon Instruments , barometers , ther
mometers , hygrometers nnd other like In
struments , which will automatically record

concerns predictions of winds , tholr violence
