Spy, lie was so imprudent as TO
man his report and it was seized and
delivered to captain General Weyler.
On being translated it proved 10 be a
report To the japanese government on
the military condition Of the island.
Murata was looked for too late: he had
sailed. The report is a plain state
ment OF the progress of the Cuban rev.
olution, accompanied by a map show
ing the places occupied by the rebels
and loyal troops. The report winds up
as follows
In conclusion, | win say that the
loyal troops number l47.0OO. Of which
there are 1000 officers They hold the
principal cities and towns, while the
rebels numbering $4,000 in all, hold the
woods, hills, and plains.
Captain General in Name ouIy.
1t seems there is an understanding
between Weyler and his soldiers 10 do
no lighting. The former is too busy
figuring out profits on big contracts
for supplying the army with food and
clothing to attend TO military opera
tions. He never goes out Of the city
walls and is captain general in name
only; acting as governor in arresting
unarmed citizens and giving out Or
ders The army is run on the go-as-
you-please plan. Occasionally the
troops go scouting and return, having
killed some stray peasants. They then
| make out false report of a supposed

motion. Since the rebellion started

and about 5000 medals and decorations
| awarded for supposed defeats Of the
rebels. nevertheless. these have contin-
ued unmolested their work of invasion
| and destruction. The insurgents as a
military organization are very de-
hcient They are poorly drilled, badly
| dressed and bad shooters.
Fight When Forced To.
They avoid lighting but fight des-
| perately when forced TO- In open bat
