RETURN OF WEYLER.

| Weyler's return to Havana must bf
regarded as an advantage If not VIC
tory for the Cubans. When Weylel
left Havana, on November s, after
strengthening the trocha which sepa
| rated Maceo in the west from Gomez III
the east. his avowed purpose was to sur
round and invade the Rubi hills Ol
Pinar del Rio with his army Of 10000 OF
35. .O0O and scatter or annihilate the 1901
| or 6. 600 men with which for months the
insurgent leader had defied the military
strength Of Spain. The advance was al
legged to be the beginning Of the end BE-
fore he returned the world was to be
startled with deeds of daring and mas
ter strokes of strategy He had respond
ed to the demands of Spanish discon-
tent and anxiety, and his successful
presence in the field was acknowledged
TO he the only alternative of his recall to
Spain--a recall that would foreshadow
the independence of Cuba.
On November 9 the advance was be-
gun. and on November IL Weyier en-
canned in the hills, after desultory en-
counters with insurgent bands. rev
days later according to Spanish adyices
more serious battle took place, III
which the captain general suffered con-
siderab loss, including one of his corps
commanders. But the insurgents refus-
ed to be routed. Then followed mys-
terry as to Weyler's movements and in
tentions, one report prophesying his
early return to the capital. The period
of silence was accompanied by intense
feeling in Havana, due to uncertainty
as to the whereabouts of Gomez. who II
was feared would execute serious di-
version in the direction of the city to re-
lieye Maceo by hurrying back his be-
siegers.
Gomez has remained invisible, but
Weyler has reeturnd, and the reticence
of the authorities, supplementing the
failure of his only real encounter, war
rants the tlarming rumors current to-
day in Havana. Maceo holds his own
in his impregnable fastnesses, justify
ing his bold assertion that he could hold
out for year against 100000 Span
;ards. He has played waiting game,
confident in his own ability and the in
competency Of his enemy. His volun-
tary warfare has been confined to que
riIla activity, harassing and firing the
Spanish columns. He is a problem
Weyler can not solve.
When the captain-generall left Havana
under compulsion of the home govern
ment in order to quiet the murmurs OF
the people, two propositions, and only
two, We're presented by those on the
ground. If Maceo was crushed it would
be a serious, but not necessarily fatal,
blow to the Cuban cause. If Weyler re-
turned. leaving Maceo unharmed. chaos
must result in the Spanish army and the
commanders recall could no longer be
postponed. He has returned. and it is
difficult TO see how any explanation can
counteract the utter discredit which this
simple fact must bring upon him.

STEWART AGA INST BRYAN.

Now Senator Stewart of Nevada de-
clares that Bryan will not make win
ming candidate in 1899. Stewart has
been at the bottom of large part of
the free silver business. He watched
Bryan's campaign and did not like it.
His opinion now is that the country
has had enough of The Boy Orator and
advises that Don Cameron ''who ought
to have been nominated this year" will
be the nominee in 1850.
Stewards idea is that Bryan's advo-
cacy OF free trade lost the country TO
the Free SiIverites. He thinks that the
people will not accept free trade ana
free silver at one and the same time.
This sentiment is certain TO grow.
Bryan is doing his party a great service
when he asks that the silver Cube be
not named Bryan clubs.

PROSPEROUS NEGROES

The negro ia rmerS of the south
share with the whites the grown G
agritural prosperity Of this part
of the country. One local news
paper in Mississippi remarks that
in its county "nearly all Of them
are paying out Of debt on their
first ginning" and that "theY
WI have more ready money this
year than they have had before
for ten years" Another paper
published in a different part of the
state says that the same condition
of affairs exists in that locality.
"Almost all of our negro renters
ond share hands," it says, "have
not only paid out of debt but
many of them have bought farms
of their own, and hundreds of them
have their own buggies or deg
carts"
The Mississippi Journal from
which we have last quoted adds
it's opinion that "the world has
not more prosperous and happy
working population than the cot
complaining negro labarers in
Mississippi" The statement need
not be restricted TO Mississippi,
nor to the class engaged in cotton
raising. 1t is true of the negro
population throughout the south.
