New York, November 2S.-GeneraI
Weyler's statement that he will walt un-
til after Christmas before he attempts
to strike death blow at the insurgents
under General Maoeo in Pinar Del Rio
province is regarded by the Cubaps here
as an admission that he can do nothing
against the Cubans in their present in
vulnerable position.
''It is certainly sho wing of weak
nesses." said delegate Palma today.
It is probably that General Weyler will
now return to Havana. This action of
General Weyler will not only Affect his
prestige, but hurt the Spanish cause,
for when Weyler took the field he said he
would defeat the forces of General Maceo.
This he failed TO do, although his men
outn um bered those under Maceo about
three to one, RS it is said Maceo has un-
der his command not more than 5000
men. The official. statement OF General
Weyler therefore confirms the claims of
the Cubans that his campaign in Pinar
Del Rio has been failure.

MRS. PRATT's TICKLE AFFECTION.

Norway, November 23.-Thfs morning
Daniel Webster Pratt of West Bethel
came to this village to meet his wife
who had written him that she had OBJ.

When Me. Pratt arrived at the place
which his wife had appointed for their
meeting he was astounded by the in tel
ligenoe that she had elopod with Doug
lass London, a fish peddler, the day be-
1ore. Ihls is another chapter in tho

oordlng to her own story loves two men
and cannot decide which she loves best

each man several times in turn.
About 10 years ago Leona E. Verr,ll
10 years old, whose parents now live in
Oxford, married Daniel W. Pratt. They
lived upon farm at West Bethel and
had two children, Lottie now 13 years
old and Linnie three. So far as known
their marriage life was quite peaceful
TIL about year ago when Douglass
London, handsome and romantic, began
to board with Mr.. and Mrs. Pratt. In
short time Douglass London was ar
rested on the charge of not paying his
board and with the suspicion of having
committed several petty larcenies in the
neighhorhood. He was in the county
jail several months and was finally re-
leased on his own recognizanoe as the
court decided he had been in Jail long
enough waiting for the grand jury to
satisfy justice.
After Douglass London was taken to
jail Mrs. Pratt according to her own story
told her husband that she had never
loved him or known what love was till
she met the black eyed fish peddlsr. She
left West Bethel and came alone to the
shire town where she remained in the
vicinity of the county Jail till Douglass
London was released, often sending let
tiers to him. When be came out there was
some exciting episodes between the way
ward wife and MIR. Pratt and Others over
property matters. Then Mr. London and
Mrs. Pratt went to Lancaster, N. H.,
and opened boarding house at the
North End.
Mrs Pratt soon began to think that
perhaps she loved her husband after ali

Lancaster.
