A CRISIS NEAR AT HAND.
War Hangs on Weyler's Fate
In Pinar del Rio.
MACEo'S SUPERIOR aBEBRALsHIP

Tho Indications Are That the Patriot
General Is Getting the Best of the
Spanish Commander - Weyler's Press
Agents Suppress the Facts.
New YORK, Nov 16.-All interest in
Spanish affairs outside Of the preparations
in Madrid and Washington for possible
war is now conferred in the movements OF
Meyler. The latest advices from Havana
to the junta here are to the effect that the
captain general has fallen back to the
trocha after an Intellectual attempt to dis
lodge Maceo.
With this news, which comes by way OF
Key West, is the report that Weyler is try.
ing TO arrange new plan Of campaign,
which contemplates a circle about the in.
surgents, to be gradually frightened until
the insurgents are crushed.
IL is evident that the recent government
bulletins from Havana claiming Spanish
victories ara willfm Misrepresentation,
and IT viii not be surprising If Weyler is
trapped by tho native troops, who are AT
honIa in the interior, whore thu Spaniards
are utter strangers
Officers at the war department are
studying maps Of the island and are mark
ing the positions Of the respective armies
as word is received OF their movements
They are much impressed by the inter
view Of Premier Cnnovas del Castillo in
Madrid on Friday in which he admitted
that there have been serious reverses in
Cuba but that theso ought not to discour-
age the the national spirit.
This Means WoyIor's Defeat.
If this means anything, it is an an
nounceinent that Weylor has suffered do
feat in the Pinal del Rio hills, where Gen
eral Maoeo is enoamped.
The plan OF warfare pursued by the in
surgents is that Of guerrillas Their base
Of operations is quickly changed, and they
are seldom encountered ia force sufficient
for more than a skirmish. The leaders Of
the insurgents also have adopted Napo-
leonic method Of falling on the Spaniards
in detail, but SO far they have not had
strength enough TO follow up their ad-
vantage Forty thousand Spanish soldiers
have been concentrated for a month in the
mountain businesses Of Cuba, and If there
had been decisive Spanish victory or if
Weyler had nlad8 any advance the Havana
censors would have filed the wires with
glowing details.
1t is in such methods of suppressio
that the danger Of sudden action by Spain
lies The ministry at Madrid win have
knowledge of any serious reverse to their
arms long before the outside world is per
nitted to know what has happened Wey-
ler's rout or capture would be the signal
for blaze Of indignation throughout the
Spanish Kingdom that would demand
vengeance on all concerned in the Cuban
disaster. Rather than permit such bad
tidings to become known without a coun
ter movement to turn the excited populace
away from the palace, the United States
would be insulted and a war precipitated
as quickly as possible.
