4" La Lucha,' in it's edition of Novem-
Der 21st, informs the people of Cuba
that Colonel Fons Devela surprised and
destroyed a rebel hospital at Campo
Florida. There were eighteen beds oc-
cupied at the time, and as there was no
mention of prisoners, it is understood
that the sick were murdered. Reliable
information from party just returning
to Pinar del Rio district was few days
ago received i'm Havana. 1t states that
a reign of death and pfllage was we'll
under way there, men, women and child
rem being outraged and shot down in
their homes or wherever found. Most of
them were pacificOs, their only offense
being that they did not quickly enough
bend to Wey1er's soldiers by removing
into the towns where they were almost
sure to starve to death, as Spain's child
rem generally are known to have no IA
cilitfes for housing and feeding them.
This has all occurred since Weyler took
the field. 1t looks as if he wishes to have
bountiful revenge for having been
driven from comfortable quarters In

WEYLER'S RECALL DEMANDED.
MADRID, Nov. 25.-Several of the
leading newspapers of Madrid are very
bitter in their criticisms OF the return
of General Weyler to Havana, and de-
clare him to be morally ruined. All
these papers demand that General Az
carraga, the present Minister of War,
be sent to Cuba at once to supersede
General Weyler.
A VICTORY FOR MACEO.
NEW YORK, Nov 25.-"The inglo-
rious ending of General Weyler's cam
paign and his return to Havana" said
Senior Tomas Estrada Palma, chief of
the Cuban revolutionary party here, to
a reporter of the United Associated
Presses to-day, lis to my mind a vic
tory for Maceo and inglorious defeat
for Weyler What more is needed to
demonstrate Weyler's utter incompe-
tency? He was supplied with every
thing he required in the matter of men
and munitions, and now he is back
without accomplishing anything. More
wounded Spanish soldiers have been
brought to Havana since the campaign
in Pinar del Rio was begun than at
any time during the war. That is sig
nificant, Who knows how many Span
ish soldiers have been killed. Now,
mark, the time is coming when Maceo
will assume the offensive and strike a
blow so decisive that Weyler will be
wonder-stricken / would like to see
Intervention now on the part of the
United States Blood enough has been
shed. The Cubans have earned a right
to be recognized. Iti is high time that
the United States shS build intervene"

broke out, has been condemned to death

eide. He is to be executed tomorrow

upon the strength of proclamation of
amnesty made by Captain-Generai
Calleja. In the cases of nearly all of
the others who gave themselves up the
Captain Generals promise was made
good, and they were set at liberty. Co
Iona, however, in spite of the promise
of amnesty made to him, was not re-
leased, he being looked upon as one of
the leaders and organizers of the re-
bellion. Instead, he was sent to Moro
Castle, where he has been confined for
over a year and half, awaiting a de-
cision in his case. The authorities un-
til recently made no attempt to infiict
upon him any more severe punishment
than imprisonment.
