The entire city was brilliantly decorated
in honor OF the occasion. and the bay was
q splendid sight, al the warships and
merchant craft present being decorated
with bunting. The wharves were crowded
with people at an early hour, and all the
steamers and tugboats procuraole were
loaded with ssghtseers- The Caamoer or
Commerce. the bourSe. all the Dig COM
mercial houses and government depart
ments, the Canarian Association. Gen.
WeyIer's countrymen, and others crowded
upon the steamers or about the landing
place. The troops and volunteers turned
out to a man, together with the lre deparr-
ment and police. and for long time past
no such brilliant display has been witnessed
in Havana Among the high army oiii-
Gals present were Gems. Suarez Valdez
and Pando, Gems. Marin and Navarro, Ad-
mirai Yanas and stan. Col. Castanedo,
Maj. Moriaao and many others. Gen. Wey-
Ter was welcomed TO the city by the cry
council on board the Alfonso. He was pre-
scented with an address and assurance Oh
loyalty.
AT II o'clock the captain general came
ashore and was received by Gen. Marin
and staff. The streets were packed with
people. who displayed the greatest enthu-
siasm.. In fact, rarely has a Distinguished
person been received so warmly as was
Gen. Wey,er today. There Is no doubt that
considerable real enthusiasm was mani
tested. In addition to the greetings wnich
would naturally be bestowed upon the E>p-
resentatsys OF Spain. The balconies IN al
the streets about the water front and IN
the vicinity of the palace were nun Oh Ia
dies In holiday attire. and they snowered
flowers upon the new commander as ne
passed. The general seemed mucn pleased
with his reception. and upon arriving at
the palace formally took over the duties
OF the captain generalship, taking the oatn
Of fealty over crucifix and Bible Gen.
Marin administered the oath OF ONCE, eno
soon afterward Gen. Weyler received the
local military and civil authorities. the
different corporations. bishops and priests.
The German warships which are mere sa-
luted the arrival OF Gen. Weyler. as did all
the Spanish warships in port and the forts
ashore.
After the reception OF the local military
and civil authorities, corporations and
clergy was completed, Gen. Weyler ap-
peared upon the balcony OF the palace
and reviewed the troops. His appearance
before the public was the signal Tor
long outburst Of the most enthusiastic
character, the firing OF cannon and the
sound of martial music, all the bands in
the city being stationed at different
points In addition to the inhabitants or
the city proper, thousands OF people
ficcked into the city from all directions
before daybreak. The march OF the troops
was probably the finest sight of all with
81. .al1z d4stx in
the fort and the interior provinces. all the
infantry, cavalry. engineer, marine bat
taiions and sailors forming the garrison
of Havana turned out In the neatest pos
sible manner, with uniforms bright and
clean, arms shining and bands playing
gallant music Until the houses echoed and
re-echoed with the crash OF military
music. Everybody seemed to catch the
enthusiasm Of the day. and the new cap
tain general may be said to have received
one long, uninterrupted and most enthu-
siastic ovation.
Accompanying Gen. weyler were Capts.
Gelaber and Lanares. known as military
editors" They VIII most likely have
charge Of the press censorship here, and IL
is already rumored that there VIII be con-
siderably more difficulty experienced IN this
connection by the correspondents in the
future So far az the general situation
Is concerned, there Is not much change.
Indeed, no change of importance Is expect
ed for some days. Gen. Weyler will first
devote himself TO complete review OF
the operations already undertaken, and he
Will then figure out the situation as II ac-
tuaIIy exists For this purpose, almost
Immediately after taking the oath OF fealty,
he issued orders 90 be sent 10 all the
commanders In the field to draw up
promptly and forward TO headquarters
here complete returns OF the condition OF
their commands, together with the state
OF the railways, telegraph and public thor
ourhfa~es ard the probable location and
strength OF the enemy In their neghbor-
hoods Some OF these reports. from the
forts around Havana. viii come in this
evening, but others from outlying dis
tr.ets will take some time to reach here.
Gen. weyler has already detailed staff
OF young officers and non-commlssioned
officers who VIII act as headquarters
clerks for me time being and assist In
compiling the returns.
The exact plan OF campaign OF Gen.
weyler naturally is not known, but IL IL
believed that Il will be a different one from
that Of Campos. II Is likely TO call In all
the small detachments OF troops which
have had such weakening effect upon the
Snanish operations, and he viii try TO drive
the insurgents into a position from which
they cannot escape without pitched bait
tie. Gen. weyler viii also muster as
strong a force OF cavalry as he can. HIS
first efforts viii be directed to coneentrat-
ing his forces and restoring public conf
dsace Later re will try 10 engage the In
surgents, who are understood 10 be con-
csntratsng their forces In anticipation OF
having a much more difficult task before
them than they have had up 10 the present.
In fact. some reports credit the insurgents
with intending TO concentrate all their
scattered detachments and companies into
one body and bring the Instruction TO a
direct issue.
