wEYLER RETREATS.
Spanish General Leaves His Command
and Returns TO Havana.

and Returns TO Havana.
Havana, Nov. 24.-Capt. Gen. Weyler
Is defeated. He arrived here Monday
night from Mariel on board the cruiser
La Gazpi. which had been placed at his
disposal. Only few weeks ago the
Spanish commander took personal
charge of the forces and marched TO
the pinar del Rio country with the
avowed purpose OF suppressing the re-
bellion in quick time. Now he is back in
Havana. having conducted rnasterly
retreat. His operations In Pinar del
Rio have proved a failure. He has
demonstrated his inability to whip the
insurgents, and his recall by tn govern
ment at Madrid Is considered certain
~. Mnceo Is practically master Of the
situation.
The news OF Weyler's arrival created
widespread excitement. II is looked
upon as a death blow to the hopes of
Spain. The high feeling prevailing was
augmented by the information that
Gomez Is on his way 10 Havana province
at the head of $4,000 well-armcd and
amply-provisioned men. The insurgents

Mantle guns. The artillery is manned
by Americans and every engagement
in which they have participated the
Spanish have suffered heavy loss.
Weylcr gives no excuse, IL is said. ex-
cept that II is too hot and unhealthy TO
do any fighting. II Is openly rumored
that Weyler became frightened over the
fact that Maceo had set price upon his
capture. Scouts informed him that
Maceo might make an attempt on Ha-
vana and the Spanish general retreated
in hot haste TO the safety of his pal
ace. Weyler's return by boat was due
10 his timidity. Insurgents have been
busy blowing up trains with dynamite
and he feared such fate might over
take him.

statement that he will wait until after
Christmas before he attempts TO strike
