wEYLER's REPUTATION AT STAKE.
Must Defeat the Cubans or BE Re
called to Spain.

called to Spain.
WASHINGTON, Nov. I7.-It is learned
here on good authority that the Spanish
government has given General Weyler
to understand that he must push his
operations against the insurgents ag-
gressively and vigorously. Unless he
soon achieves victory it is believed he
will be recalled. General Weyler, it is
understood, is aware of the alternative,
and his present campaign in Pinar Del
Rio is expected to result in an engage
ment that vail put new aspect on the
Cuban situation one way or the other.
The campaing, therefor =, has become to
him a personal matter and with the
knowledge that his prestige and rank
are Mt stake.
Havana cables are being watched
with interest for news of more impor-
tant battles than skirmishes and guerril-
la fights than have thus far come Gen.
Weyler has all the troops he can use.
There are over zoe, Geo Spanish soldiers
in Cuba, and the force under the cap
tain general in his present operations in
the field in person is over $4,000 men.
Maceo, against whom he il ow operat-
ing, has under him, it is estimated,
about 1000 men. Spain, having full.
filed all OF General Weyler's wishes az
to troops. nov expects results from him.
Consul General Lee has acquifated
the administration with these facts and
the president is at present simply await
ing events and will shape his course by
developments.
1t is the hope of General Weyler that
he will be able to score decided vic
tory before the assembling Of congress-
Dec. Z. Spain fears adverse action by
that body soon after it meets, and has
urged General Weyler to demonstrate
his ability to crush the rebellion within
the next two weeks if possible.
