A BEATEN MAN.
General Howard Thinks II Time wey
Ter Resigned the Cuban Command.


st, Louis, November 27-In an in
tervlew this morning concerning tn,
rumor that General weyler had re-
signed from the command OF the Span
ish forces In Cuba, Major General o. o
Howard. OF the United States army
said:
''As see It. General weyler was q
beaten man, and II was time for him
to resign, His troops were whipped
and his strategic resources We're at an
end when he went back to Havana
The individual rear movement of Gen.
eral weyler showed the inability OF the
Spanish army to dislodge the insur-
gents II he could have whipped them
he would have stayed and whipped
them,
MY view Of the Cuban war is sim
ply this; II is a question OF finances,
not OF fighting, Spain Is big enough
to crush out every cain bushp as well
as every lnsurgent In Cuba, II she can
raise the money to pay and provision
the troops required. But Spain has
mighty big job on her hands. 1t
has already been clearly proved that
the Cubans are greater fighters, greater
strategists and greater people
Whether Spain can raise enough money
to pay enough men is something about
which the world is guessing"
General Howard thinks the Cuban
war has developed nothing new in mill
ltary tactics, He declined to express
an opinion as to whether the United
States should interfere in behalf of
the Cuban insurgents.

New York. November 27-warren
Lewis. of the Greater New York Ath-

Attorney Bacltus in Brooklyn today for
the purpose of ascertaining If the club
would be given permit for the propos-
ed rbett-Fitzsimmons bout. Backus
declined to decide the question. but
promised TO give Lewis another hearing
tomorrow. As forecasting his probable
decision, an official of Brooklyn. who is
credited with possessing accurate
knowledge of the facts, is quoted as
having said today:
"The authorities of the city win not
permit. under any circumstances or un-
der the Horton. or any other law. the
of an act that the authori-
ties OF Texas, Florida, California, Mis-
souri, and even New Mexico prohibit.
There is no presentation of the case
which can make the meeting between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons anything but
a prize-fight."
