but will come back TO Washington at tina
end of this week. Asked when he ex-
pected TO return to Habana, he said: u
have no idea"
In conversation to-day. General Lee APP.
peared 10 attach considerable signiii-
canoe to the report cabled from Habana
that General Weyler was expected back
in Habana this week, and he was dis
posed to think the report accurate. But
the most searching inquiry failed TO de-
velop In just what dire elton the signlh-
canoe lay; whether it might be taken as
a positive Indication that Weyler's return
from the field meant the failure OF his
campaign or its partial success.
Whether General Lee has given any
more definite opinion 10 the President
or Secretary Olney cannot be wruns
from him by his closest personal ac-
quaintances. 1t IS. however. plausibly
explained that General Martinez Campos
was severely criticised for keeping the
field during the ten years war. and that
General Weyler could advantageously re.
sumo his headquarters at Habana II he
had passed with large bodies OF troops
through the insurgents stronghold, and
had been unable to force a battle.
In that event, he would be compelled
to divide his forces into numerous small
contlngents TO operate against the smaller
bands OF insurgents. and in that kind OF
warfare his immediate presence on the
field would be not only superiuous. but
unwise. In the field, under such circum.
stances. he could not keep In comrnu-
nication with all his forces. out from
Habana he could GEOGRAPHICALLY control
his troops throughout the island.
