anxious to return but he cannot embark till the ithe preparations for fior sending back thie the troops in havana province have reached a more forward step he Is ia said to be urging his subordinates to greater activity at times there has been a probability of a demonist ration against the captain general that probability is a diminishing one the hostility of the troops is now directed against gen juan aralas mill tary governor of havana province how deep the hie feeling is against hini him since he cut down ani an orden publico with his sword cannot the ibe judged by a letsom who is not off of the army the spanish soli soldiers diers are sullen and undemonstrative um their obedience is that of dumb animals yet that they will forget the d death dath of their comrades is not believed though there may be no open revolt the officers are excessively nervous they appear to think that the death of the orden publico leG will be avenged oni on gen adlas that grim old soldier is himself the least concerned of all he would cut down with his own hand every member of the orden publico it if lit it were tere necessary to maintain discipline the orden Pub licos are the flower of the spanish troops rather it should be said they were the flower tor as a body they have been dissolved instead of being havanas police force they axe are mow anew simply regulars in the ranks under the displeasure of the authorities who do not dare disarm thern them and with the sympathy of their comrades some of these men may have the pe personal sympathy of gen adolas who in his republicanism publican lem has been charged with leanings many of them were soldiers who in concluding a truce edth the government stipulated that they should not be required to serve in spain and were therefore sent to cuba I 1 gen ahiolas ariolas himself is one of the best beat soldiers that spain hlas has ever sent to her colonies if she had more like him perhaps she would not be yielding her last possessions it is said of adolas that he refused to tic take the oath ath o to bo support the monarchy mon archy which was required of aalthe all the generals and that he dec declared the word of a soldier was enough to attest his loyalty whether this incident is true or mot his independence amiade his presence uncomfortable in spain and he was sent as governor of one of the philippine islands testimony to his hi efficiency in making spanish authority respected by the natives has been given by those who were in the at that time it Is also said that his hi integrity was something the other spanish officials could not understand when gen adolas was transferred to cuba he was in favor of keeping up a persistent warfare on the insurgents he may not take high rank as a tactician or a strategist but he saw that the only way the insurrection could be subdued was by treading on its heels at alt the time the plan of campaign was an occasional demonstration by the troops against the insurgents and then a long rest adolas was fretted into acquiescence he built the trocha across the western part of the island which was known as weyler trocha and which was measurably successful in keeping the insurgents under maceo from crossing at will adolas independent character brought him into conflict with general weyler he was sent to santiago province and remained there till several weeks after blanco superseded weyler then he was recalled and made military governor of havana province general adolas arrived in havana on the afternoon of the day in january on which the ithe army officers precipitated the riots against anto autonomy nomy the officers feared him far more than blanco he took immediate command of the military forces during the days that followed he himself led many charges against the rioters sometimes on horse back and sometimes on foot he never failed to clear the streets if the peaceful blockade of havana by the united states had been changed into an assault by land many persons believe that the honor of a heroic defense would have fallen more to the military governor adolas than to captain gen blanco general adolas was sincere in not wanting war with the united states since its conclusion he has hated the american nation with the robust hatred of a soldier who feels the humiliation of his defeated and humbled country this feeling has not affected his official relations nor has it lessened the esteem in which americans in havana hold him they find ho fie fault with the spanish general who feels defeat too deeply to affect indifference it is known that a breach exists between blanco and adolas and this does not improve the outlook for getting the troops away peacefully apparently adolas is not convinced that in existing conditions one company of spanish troops would not fire on another company and that it is not wise to force the test he would train the guns himself if every man in the ranks mutinied mutinies muti nied |
