Havana, Feb. 10.—The steamer
Alfonso XIII arrived here at 8 o’clock
this morning, having on board General
Weyler, new captain general of Cuba.
Nlcanlo Marquis of Telerlff# and
Generals Enrique, Barges, Ferderloko
Ocbando, Miguel Melquiso, Marines
Ahumada, Gastello, Sanohez Bernal
and Juan Arolas, the latter being the
hero of Jolo, Phllllphlne Islands.
The entire olty was brilliantly deoo
rated In honor of the occasion and the
bay was a Bpleodld sight, all the war
ships and msrohaat crafts present be-
ing deocrated with bunting. The
wharves were crowded with people at
an early hour and all steamers and tug
boats procurable were loaded with
sightseers, The chamber of com
meroe, bourse, all big commercial
h ,u «es, and the government depart-
ment, the Oauardlan, an association of
General Weyler’s countrymen, and
others crowded upon chartered
steamers or about the landing plaoe
Troops and volunteers turned out
together with the tire department and
police, and for a long time past no
such brilliant display has been wit-
nessed In Htvana.
General Weyler was weloomed to the
oily by the olty council on board the
Alfonso. He was presented with a
welcome address and assnranoe of loy-
alty. At 11 o'olock the oaptatn general
came ashore and was raoalved by Gen-
eral Marin and staff. The streets were
packed with people who displayed the
greatest enthusiasm.
Not doubt considerable real enthus-
iasm was manifested, In addition to
the greetings whtob would naturally be
bestowed upon the representative of
Spain. The baloontes In all streeta
about the water front and In the viotnl
ty of the palace were fall of ladles In
holiday attire and they showered
Bowers upon the new oommander as he
passed.
He seemed muoh pleased with bis re
oeptlon and opon arriving at the palace
formally took the duties of the oaptatn
generalship, taking the oath over a
crucifix and upon a bible. General
Marin administered the oath of office
and soon afterwards General Weyler
received the looal military and civil
authorities, different corporations and
bishops and priests.
The German war ships sslu’ed the
arrival of General Weyler, as did all
Spanish war ships In port and the forts
ashore. It Is asserted that the Ger-
man ships will now go to Venezuela In
ordsr to enforoe the demand which
oertaln German railroad contractors
made npon the Venezuelan govern
ment for the payment of guarantees for
work.
After the reoeption of looal military
and olvll authorities, corporations aod
clergy was completed, General Weyler
appeared upon the baloony of the
palace and reviewed the troops.
Aooompanytng General Weyler were
Captains Gelebar and Linares, known
as “military editors." They most
likely will have oharge of press censor-
ship here and It Is already rumored
th.re will be considerable difficulty ex
perlenoed la this connection by cor-
respondents than in the past. Re-
cently press regulations have been
considerably relaxed and not much
difficulty bae been experienced in gat
ting average matter upoD the oable. If
reports are true the new oaptaln gen-
eral will be very severe with corres-
pondents who send false acoouuts of
Cuban snooesBea, and who In any way
biiog about the publication of false
news. By this It le not meant that
General Weyler lntenda to Interfere
with the proper liberty whloh the
prees oan be allowed in war time. It
really maans only he will do every-
thing possible to prevent sending out
from here news undoubtedly false.
So far B8 the general situation Is con
oerned, therelatot muoh oharge In-
deed no ohange of Importance Is ex
picted for seme days. General Wey-
ler will first devote himself to a com-
plete review of the operations already
undertaken and will then figure out
the situation as It aotnally exists.
General Marlr, who has been ap
pointed captain general of Potto K'eo,
Is expected to leave for hie new post
tomorrow. The exaot plan of the
oampaigu of General Weyler Is not
known, but It Is believed it will be dif-
ferent from Gampoe. He will likely
oall In all small detaobmente of troops
whloh had suoh a weakening effeot up-
on Spanish operations and will try to
drive the Insurgents into a position
from whloh they oannot escape
without a pitohed battle. This does
not mean that the new captain general
will leave all points unprotected In
order to concentrate troops hire. On
the contrary, he will endeavor to pro-
tect property to the utmost, but la so
doing, anticipate being able to call on
several thousand men who are doing
■mail garrison duty in places where
apparently there is no neoeasi’y for
their presanoe now.
General Weyler will also mustar as
strong a force of oivalry as he oan,
considerable reinforcements of this
branch of the setvloe have already ar-
rived here and more are exptc'.ed dnr
log the week.
THE QUEEN’S SPEECH.
Preepeots of a Friendly Understanding
With the United Stetee.
London, Feb. 10.—The Press asso-
ciation this evening lent cut a fore-
cast of the queen’s speech, whloh Is to
be read tomorrow at the opening of
parliament.
It says the speech la longer than
usual, but does not announce any
sensational departure iu policy. It
opens with expressing satisfaction that
Great Britain Is at peaoe with all the
great powers, aod In referring to the
Transvaal iaoldent, recites the oourse
of events rather than furnishes an In
dloatlon of the outoome.
There Is guarded allusion to the
Venezuelan question, and no epeoiflo
announcement In regard to arbitration.
Bat reference is made to the proepeots
nt a friendly understanding with the
United States.
With referenoe to the deplorable
events In Armenia, hope is expressed
that the reform will be carried out.
Among bills proposed will be the
employers’ liability measure, ona
providing for voluntary school*,
another touohlng npon the Irish land
law reform, one for the relief of
agricultural distress and one for the
board of agriculture of Ireland. There
Is also allusion to an tnorease In naval
defense. _
Peraeooting Hinlonarlei
London, Feb. 10.—The Constanti-
nople correspondent of the Dally News
telegraphs that Turkey’* plan to
Implicate Amerloan missionaries In
Armenian affairs Is being steadily
pursued. An attempt has been mad*
to arrest Knapp, on* of the hardest
working missionaries at Bitlls, on the
oharge of sedition and murder, based
on an accusation signed under coercion
by eome Armenians In jail. Knapp
appealed to Minister Ten ill, who
learned from Consul Hampsou at
Moush that the oharge was wholly
unfounded and was a pretext to drive
Knapp from the oonntry. Tarrill
insists that unless the oharge Is
abandoned Knapp shall be brought
here and tried before him.

THE CUBAN QUESTION,
A Joint R,eolation Offered by Senator
Cam#,on-Senator Thurston Says He la
Not th* Author of the Bill Recently
Introduced Giving Penelone to Ir-Slarn
—Sir Liudety Gave Notice ot an Amend-
ment to the flout* Tariff Bill.
Washington, Feb. 10—To the senate
today Senator OameroD, of Ponnysl-
vanla, offered a .pint resolution, quot-
ing the president's references to the
Cuban war In his last message, and
dcolares that there are no m inus of
seourlng peaoe to Cuba except by glv
log it the right of self government and
offers to Spain the friendly effioes of
the United States to bring about this
result.
The resolution to reoommit the tariff
flnanolai bill went over until tomorrow.
Mr. Emtth then addressed the senate
on the Monroe doctrine.
Senator Smith announced that he
was opposed to the adoption of the re
solutions proposed by hie colleague,
Sewell, aDd quite as stroDgly opposed
to those reported by the foreign rela
tlons committee and he supplemented
these two assertions with the remark
that he had very little sympathy with
the position assumed by the senator
from Colorado (Mr. Woloott). There
was, he argued, no occasion for any ac
tion of any kind npon this subject by
the senate at this time. Both houses of
congress, by the passage of the resolu-
tion providing for the appointment of
a commission to determine the true
divisional line between Venezuela and
British Guiana, had dona all that the
president and secretary of state, oharg
ed with th* responsibility of diplomatic
negotiations with other powers, desired
and all that the people expected
Mr. Thurston, Republican of Nebras
ka, called attention to the published
reports that he was the author of the
bill reoently Introduced giving pen-
eioDS to ex slaves. The senator ex-
plained that the bill was introduced
by request.
Mr. Llndsay.DemoorBt of Kentucky,
gave notioe of an amendment to the
bouse tariff bill proposing a repeal of
the provisions of the present tariff
law whloh provides a duty of one eighth
of a cent per pound on all sugars
above number 16 Dutoh standard, and
on all dieoolored sugars.
Consideration was resumed on the
resolution direoiing the secretary of
agrloultur# to carry out the law for
the distribution of seeds, and Mr. Vest,
Demoorat of Missouri, renewed his
orltlolsm of the secretary. The sena-
tor prooeeded to ehow from the agrl
cultural department reports that the
aeoretary, though oppoalcg the seed
law, had used the appropriation, mak-
ing excessive seed distribution in his
own state, Nebraska.
Mr. Bate, Demoorat of Tennessee,
defended tbe ssoretary.
Tariff' BUI Gusilp.
Washington, Feb. 10.—When Sena
tor Qaay left the oapltol after tha
adjournment of tbe senate today, he
had almost decided to withdraw the
motion to reoommit the tariff bill, or
at least not to press it.
This was tbe result of tha importu-
nity of several Republican senators,
who, after canvassing the situation
among Democratic senators, had
ascertained to their satisfaction that
while there would be a solid vote on
th* part of both Popnllsts and
Demoorats against reoommiting, there
would be no difficulty In getting a
comparatively large vote on the
Demooratio side of the ohambsr
against a free coinage substitute for
the bill.
This turn in the sitnatlon led to an
aotive canvass of the probable vote on
the substitute and on tbe original bill,
in case tbe substitute was voted down.
This survey has necessarily been In-
complete, but the result te suoh as to
cause the opponents of the substitute
to believe it oan ba donated. They
Giant upon the entire anti-silver
Ktpublloan vota on tbe Republican
side, beeldes th* vote of many silver
Repnblloane, who will not agree to
dleplao* the tariff bill with a silver
bill, and also upon getting a large
majority, If not all, of th# anti-silver
Demoorats against the substitute.
With tbe substitute defeated, the
vote would reonr on the tariff bill
proper.
Friends of this measure are not so
sore of its success as are the antago-
nists ot the substitute of tbe defeat of
that measure. They are led to believe
that there will ba a solid Demooratio
and Populist vote against the tariff
bill, and also reoall that Senator Baker
of Kansas, daolared in oanousa his in-

In the event of Baker’s adhering to
