WEYLER IN HAVANA
The New Captain General Cuba Arrives.
Stricter Censorship Will Be Placed on News Relating to the War. HAVANA, Feb. 11.—The steamer Al
fonso XIII arrived here at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, having on board General Valleriano Weyler, the new captain general of Cuba Nicolau, Marquis of Teneriffe, and Generals Enrique, Barges, Ferderico Ochando, Miguel Melquiso, Marinues Ahumada, Luis Castelloi. Sanchez Bernal and Juan Arolas, the latter being the hero of Jolo, Philippine islands.
The entire city was brillantly decorated in honor of the occasion and the bay was a splendid sight, all the warships and merchant craft present being decorated with bunting. The wharves were crowded with people and all the steamers and tug boats procurable were loaded with sightseers. The chamber of commi'ive, the bourse, all the big commercial houses and government departments, the Canarian association, General Weyler's countrymen and others, crowded upon the chartered steamers or about the landing place.
The troops and volunteers were turned out to a mau. together with the fire department and police for along time past no such brilliant ..ispluy has been witnessed in Havana. This is mainly due to the fact that in many quarters General Weyler is looked upon as likely to be the man who will restore order in Cuba, which would mean a resumption of commerce and business, developments which are anxiously looked forward to by tht1 commercial community.
Among the hit'h military officers preset were Generals Suarez, Vuldez and Pando, Generals Marin and Navarro, Admiral Yamis and staff, Colonel Castanedo, Major Moriano and many tliers.
General Weyler was welcomed by the city council on board the Alfonso XIII. He was presented with an address of welcome and assurance of loyalty. At 11 o'clock the captain general came ashore and was received by General Marin and staff. The streets were packed with people who displayed the greatest enth usiasm.
Upon arriving at the palace General Weyler formally took over the duties of the captain generalship, taking the oath of fealty over a crucifix and upon a Bible. General Marin administered the oath of oflice and soon afterward he received the local military and civil authorities, the different corporations and the bishops and priests.
After the reception General Weyler appeared upon the balcony of the palace and reviewed the troops. His appearance before the public was the signal for a lor.ir outburst of the most enthusiastic cheeiing, the firing of cannon and the sound qf martial music.
Accompanying General Weyler, were Captains Gelaber and Linares, who are known
as
•'military editors." They will
most likely have charge of the press censorship here, and it is already rumored that there will be considerably more difficulty experienced in this connection by the correspondents in the future. Recently the press regulations have been considerably relaxed and not much difficulty has been experienced in getting average matter upon the cable. But if reports are correct the new captain general will be very severe with correspondents who send false reports of Cuban successes, or who in any way bring about the publication of false news.
So far as the general situation is concerned there is not much change. Indeed, no change of importance is expected for some days. General Weyler will first devote himself to a complete review of the operations already undertaken and he will then figure out the situation as it actually exists. For this purpose, almost immediately after taking the oath of fealty, he caused orders to be sent to all the commanders in the field to draw up promptly and forward to headquarters here complete returns of the condition of their commands, together with the state of the railroads, telegraphs and public thoroughfares and the probable location and strength of the enemy in their neighborhoods.
The exact plan of campaign of General Weyler, naturally, is not known but it is believed that it will be a very different one from that of Campos. He is likely to call in all the small detachments of troops which have from the first had such a weakening effect upon the Spanish operations, and he will try to drive the insurgents into a position from which they can not escape without a pitched battle.
His first efforts will be directed to concentrating his forces and restoring public confidence. Later, he will try to engage the insurgents, who are understood to be concentrating their forces in anticipation of having a much more difficult task before them than they have had up to the present. In fact some reports credit the insurgents with desiring to concentrate all their scattered detachments and columns into one body and so bring the insurrection to a direct issue. If so, there seems to be no doubt that the Spanish generals will not put any obstacle in the way of the insurgent commanders. But Spaniards here who are well posted on the situation say that there is no truth in the report that the insurgents will make any effort to risk a pitched battle.
General Marin, who has been appointed captain general ot' Porto Rico, is expected to leave for his new post tomorrow. He has not done much since he assumed command here after the recall of Marshal Martinez de Campos but he has certainly displayed activity, and has been on the move almost continually.

CHARTER fc,-.,--.
The British South African Company Allowed to Carry on Business. LONDON, Feb. 11.—Having conferred
with the directors of the Chartered Company, Mr. Cecil Rhodes, it is said, will soon return to Buluawayo,where he will reside in the fine house he has caused to be erected in the neighborhood of poor King Lobengula's former capital, except during the sessions of the parliament of Cape Colony.
Mr. Rhodes, however, will await the arrival in England of Dr. Jameson, as he is desirous of conferring with the famous leader of the raid into the Transvaal before returning to South Africa.
The ex-premier may also make an address to che Chartered company at a meeting of the shareholders soon to occur, and he may take this occasion to explain in detail his position towards the company.
The friends of Mr. Rhodes, naturally, claim that the latter's return to South Africa indicates that the secretary of state for the colonies is satisfied with his explanations, aud the idea, if it was ever really entertained, that the charter of the South African company would be revoked, may be dismissed. However, it i. generally believed that some show of severity must be made, and that the Chaptered ci mpany can not be permitted to escape scathless. Therefore, its charter may be considered modified, and its adminsirative powers may be withdrawn, though its commercial privileges are not likely to be touched.
Krngor Going to London.
LONDON, Feb. 11.—President Kruger of the Transvaal has accepted the invitation extended to him by Colonial Secretary Chamberlain to come to England accompanied by some members of the Transvaal executive to act as a commission. Probably a special session of the Volksraad will be called to grant a formal sanction and to nominate a commission.
Hon. Cecil Rhodes' sister sailed for Cape Town on board the Norliam Castle from Southampton on Saturday. The Captain Rhodes came so London to bid her farewell, but he denied any knowledge of his brother Cecil's movements. It was reported that Cecil Rhodes had at the last moment engaged a cabin. Great excitement was caused by this report, but he was not on board the steamer.
MINISTER DROPS DEAD.
Rev. Sanforil Hunt Suddenly Stricken With Apoplexy. CINCINNATI, Feb. 11.—Rev. Sanford
Hunt, D.D., senior agent of the Methodist Book concern, New York, and treasurer of the Methodist Missionary society, dropped dead of apoplexy at the Grand hotel in this city at 8:15 o'clock last night. As he entered the door with Rev. Dr. Methews and Rev. Dr. Hammond of San Francisco he suddenly exclaimed: "Take my hand," and afterward, "I fear ." Then he became unconscious and could not complete his expression. In less than 10 minutes he was dead. Dr. Prendergast wTas standing nearby but could do nothing and soon pronounced the doctor dead.
Dr. Hunt, in company with Bishop Joyce and Drs. Methew and Hammond, had just arrived from Chattanooga, where he had been visiting his brother. He seemed well and in excellent spirits all day, and seemed to have no premonition of his approaching death. He was about 73 years old an.. 1- widow and three daughters. i_« »...• Lie author of several religious boo cs, and stopped here to attend a meeting of the book committee of the Methodist church.
Rev. Earl C. C. Cranston, D. D., and Rev. Corts, D. D., agents of the Western Methodist Book Concern of this city and many other prominent Methodists were soon called to the hotel, where arrangements were made for the care of the body and shipment to New York.
AEROLITE EXPLODES.
Consternation Created In Madrid aud a Number of People Injured. MADRID, Feb. 11.—An immense aero
lite exploded above this city at 9:30 a. m. yesterday. There was a vivid glare of light and a loud report, followed by a general panic. All the buildings were shaken and many windows shattered. According to the officials of the Madrid observatory the explosion occurred 20 miles above the earth.
The sun was shining clearly at the time of the explosion and the only thing visible in the sky was a white cloud bordered with red, which was traveling rapidly across the heavens leaving behind it a train of fine, white dust.
When the explosion occurred, the populace believed that it was an earthquake or a sign of divine wrath.
Many injuries resulted from the panic which broke out among the people, and from the frantic attempts made to escape from the factories and schools. Seventeen persons were injured in one tobacco factory by the collapse of a staircase when the inmates rushed upon it to escape from the building.
At the palace, it was at first feared that a bomb had been exploded. Much damage was done by the force of the concussion to walls and windows throughout the city.
More Gold Withdrawn.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Gold to the amount of $2,881,000 was yesterday withdrawn from the subtreasury at New York, presumably to be used again in making payments for bonds. This leaves the true amount of the gold reserve $42,066,860. Up to the hour of closing the department had no official notices of deposits on account of bond purchases.
