general will be very severe with cor
respondents who send false accounts
or cuban successes, or who in any
way bring about the publication OF

So far as the general situation Is
concerned there is not much change.
lhueed, no change of Importance is ex-
pected for some days. Gen Weyler
VIII trst devote himself to a complete
review OF the operations already un-
dertaken, and he will then figure out
the situation as 1t actually exists. For
thls purpose, almost Immediately aft
er taking the oath of fealty. he issued
orders to be sent to all the Command
ers In the field to draw up promptly
ana forward to headquarters here COM
piete returns of the condition of their
commands, together with the state of
the railroads. telegraphs and public
tnoroushrares, and the probable
Strength OF the enemy In their neigh
borhoods
The exact plan of campaign of Gen.
Weyler, naturally, is not known: but
IS Is oeneved that it will be a yery
uiILefent one from that of Campos. He
is likely to call in all the small detach
ments of troops which have from the
llrst had such a weakening effect upon
Che spanish operation, and he will try
10 drive the insurgents into a position
from which they cannot escape with
out pitched battle. Regarding his
poltlcal standing, Gen. Weyler will be
entirely non-partisan, while willing to
listen to suggestions and advice from
all parties. In short, his first efforts
VIII be directed to concentrating his
Iorces and restoring public confidence.
Later he will try to engage the iEsur
gents, who are understood TO be con-
centratlng their forces in anticipation
OF having much more difficult task
before them than they have had up
to the present
