Why the Competitor’s Filibnstérs Will
Secure Some Delay.
WEYLER IS BLOODTHIRSTY.
He Complains to His Government That He
Is Hamper-ed by our Interference.
The Admiral Had Promptly
Signed Death Warrants.
LONDON, May 12. —-‘The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Standard says:
“Senor Canovas del Castillo has publicly
stated that America has not protested
against Spain’s right to punish filibusters,
but only against the summary trial.
American citizens are entitled to be tired
in the civil courts [under the treaties of
1795 and 1877. The :Spanish government
.is willing to consider the demand and has
cabled to Captain General Weyler to delay
the executions pending the result of nego-
tiations which are actively proceeding be-
tween Washington and Madrid to define
the interpretation of the aforesaid treaties.
“Senor Canovas made a long speech at a
meeting of Conservative senators and dep-
uties on Saturday evening, in which he
declared that this was a national question
which must some day be settled with the -
assistance of all the parties. He declared
that it was impossible to introduce reforms
into Cuba before the situation there should
resume its normal condition. He confessed
his belief that war alone would fail to ter-
SENOR CASTILLO.
minute the insurrection, but he believed
that the insurgents would become discour-
aged, and that racial hatred would contrib-
ute largely to cause a cessation of hos-
tilities. If, however, the premier went on,
public opinion in Spain should pronounce
for a more radical and quicker introduc-
tion of colonial home rule, the Conserva-
tive government and party would willing-
ly resign the direction of affairs to the
hands of those consenting to assume such
responsibility.
"The Epoca, the government organ, in
guarded language, recommends prudence
and deprecates demonstrations. It clearly
intimates that the government will make
another effort to conciliate President
Cleveland by ordering General Weyler to
send all the papers bearing upon the case
here for the supreme court to pronounce
upon. The execution of the sentence
would thus be virtually shelved. -
“The rest of the Madrid press are unani-
mous in the opinion that America has
taken an ungenerous and unjustifiable ad-
vantage of Spain’s difficulties.”
London Press Comment.
The Standard has an editorial comment-
ing upon the sentences to death of the men
captured on board the Competitor, which
says:
“The situation is undoubtedly grave,
but the dispute involves a direct issue of
fact, or, at the utmost. conflicting inter-
pretation of the international law, which
may furnish a means of escape from a po-
sition of extreme difficulty. The opinion
seems to prevail that the sentence of the
British snb;.ect. William Gildea, will be
commuted in recognition of Great Brit-
ain’s friendly attitude. But this would be
impossible. as the exercise of mercy in one
instance winuld render a denial in the oth-
ers more invidious. The position of the
Spanish government must attract general
sympathy. ' It has a choice of evils, but it
cannot be doubted which it will choose.
provided it is possible to avoid hostilities
consistently with the Spanish conception
of national dignity, and if the Washington
government is in earnest, which is always
uncertain on the eve of a presidential elec-
tion.”
The Chronicle says in an editorial:
“The stormcloud which has been so
long hanging over the Spanish dominion
in Cuba is breaking at last. The signifi-
cant words of Mr. Joseph Pulitzer will
have prepared our readers for the alarm-
ing news. The real cause of the dispute
lies deeper than the question immediately
at issue. Free Cuba has long been the
eager desire of a large body of American
opinion. The present incident may or may
not be tided over, but it seems to be the
beginning of the end. President Cleve-
land has an admirable opportunity. We
will not'regret if he has used it to the full.
Nothing could so forcibly strike the imag-
ination of the electorate as the emancipa-
tion of Cuba. There cannot be any doubt
as to the merits of the case. We assume
that there are faults on both sides, but it
is obvious to all that the Spanish rule in
Cuba is inept and abominable. Its rulers
have learned nothing from progress and
less than nothing from disaster. Their
cup is full, and unless some marvel inter-
venes to save them again from their own
folly, it seems inevitable that the end will
come soon.”
After picturing the probable benefits of
a free Cuban republic which might even,
it thin ks, eventually ask to be incorporated
into the United States in order to Warn off
English competition, The Chronicle con-
cludes its article as follows:
“‘If Washington presses the question,
Spain is poworless. War is an ugly thing
at the best, and we should be the last to
invoke it. But an American ultimatum
in the present case would not be the be-
ginning of a war, but would be the end of
an interminable guerrilla fight.”
The Globe says:
“The recent' pretentious arrogance of
the Washington statesmen has been due to
a determination to make American com-
merce paramount in the western hemi-
sphere. European sympathy is wholly
with Spain." , -
The Pall Mall Gazette says:
“The prisoners captured on board the
filibustering schooner Competitor will be
shot. A contest between light and heavy
Weights, especially when the former is not
fit and the latter is spoiling for a. fight,
can have only one result.”
The St. James Gazette asserts that the
Spanish army and navy are strongly op- ‘
posed to the submission of Spain to the
demands of the United States in regard
to Cuba, and that the manufacturing
classes of Spain are resolved to keep Cuba

“Bark” WES, Willin.”
HAVANA, May 12.——It was definitely an-
nounced today that on the day the five
men captured on board the Competitor
Were tried (Friday last) Admiral Navarro,
in conformity with the petition of the
prosecutor and the sentence of the naval
tribunal, approved and signed the sen-
tences of death imposed upon the filibus-
ters, Alfredo Laborde, Dr. Elias Bedia,
William Grildea. John Melton and Teodoro
Mata. »
The government, upon being informed
that the deaih sentence had been imposed
in view of high state considerations, re-
ferred the case for final decision to the su-
preme tribunal of war and marine.
Spain Defers Action.
WASHINGTON, May 12.—-'l‘he state de-
partment gave out the following this
morning:
“In thg Competitor case it can be an-
thoritativély stated that at the request of
the United States the Spanish government
will postpone execution of the death sen-
tence upon American citizens until the
vIBWs of the United States respecting the
application to their cases of the treaty of
1795 and the protocol of 1877 can be pre-
sented and considered. ”
The announcement of the postponement
of the executions means a delay of some
Weeks at least and that the matter will be
taken up by the United States and Spain
and be made the subject of the exchange
of correspondence on the interpretation to
be given the treaty provisions between the
two nations. Meanwhile the effect will be
to allay popular excitement both here and
in Spain. *
Will Resign With Weyler.
MADRID, May 12. —-El Dia has advices
from Havana saying that General Ochando
and General Ahumado of the Spanish
army in Cuba have announced their ad
herence to Captain General Weyler and
their intention to resign with him if the
sentences of death imposed upon the Com-
petitor prisoners are revoked.
It is reported that Captain General Wey-
ler has cabled the Spanish government
that it is impossible for him to proceed
with the war as he should do, as the Span
ish authorities at every moment are ham-
pered by the “irritating meddling of
America in Cuban affairs.”
It is understood that the United States
government has presented fresh claims for
heavy indemnities through losses on sugar
plantations belonging to Americans which
have been burned by the insurgents. It is
expected that these demands will lead to
further complications.
Four More Executions In Cuba.
MADRID, May 12,—A dispatch to The
Imparcial from Havana says that a non-
commissioned officer and a soldier have
been shot at Puerto Principe and that two
insurgent prisoners have been shot at

ness to go to Cuba in warfare if necessary.

General Booth Says He Is Pleased.
LONDON, May 12.—Miss Eva Booth, Sal-

only lost 50 by desertion to Ballington.
