Where Is MexIer.

Havana, Dec. 6.-Three days have
now elapsed since any news was re-
ceived from Captain General Weyler.
1t is not known in what part of the
province of Pinar del Rio he is, or
what he is doing towards carrying out
the plan of campaign on which the
royalists have built hopes, but which,
thus far, has resulted in no signal sue
cess. Heavy rains. have been prevail
ing lately, and ii is probable that the
condition of the country has put a tenn
porary check on the operations of the
Spanish forces. Officials here stated
that there is nothing surprising in no
dispatches being received from General
Weyler, as he is q man of action
rather than of words, and is waiting to
meet the rebels before he devotes time
to the writing of dispa tches.
General MelgusUo, reports that his
command surprised a rebel hospital in
the Valley hills, province of Pinar del
Rio, and six insurgents, whether
wounded or not is not stated, were
taken. The first installment of the new
reinforcements, numbering $500 men
arrived here today.

this round, Murphy made swing at
Fails, and, according to Cameron. the
referee, fouled him. Cameron at once
awarded the fight to Fails.
The crowd hoWled Indignantly at the
decision, and some one jumped over the
ropes and attacked the referee. 1t was
only a moment before the whole crowd
was in a free fight, and many of the
contestants were knocked out. The
stakeholder escaped to a carriage, and
was on the way to the city when some
of the crowd stopped the carriage,
showed revolvers into the face of the
occupants. and told them that they
wanted Cameron. When they learned
that Cameron was not in the rig. they
allowed it to proceed. The money will
