Spain Likely to Replace Weyler and Seek US Accord
In mid January reports suggest Premier Canovas will recall General Weyler and name either General Marin or Minister of War Azcarraga. A policy shift in Cuba could follow to align with the United States before President Cleveland's term ends. The Queen Regent favors a peaceful settlement respecting Spain's Cuba rights to avoid conflict or misunderstanding with the US. The change may be spurred if the Liberals are urged to take office by the Queen.
