weyler's March Through Pinar del Rio
Attended With Bardstips.
1t Is currently admitted that Captain-Gen-
eral Weyler Of Cuba has failed in his cam
paign against the Cuban insurgent leader
Maceo. Though no accurate data are Oh.
tainable as to the latter's movements, all re.
ports agree that he has divided his forces
Into small bands, who harass the Spanish
troops, but present no chance for pitched
battles or decisive results.
General Weyler marches have been pain
full, and his soldiers have suffered great
bardships. In consequence 1900 soldiers have
been sent to Candelaria Ill. Most OF General
Weyler's staff are i'll, and are returning to
Havana. he also is falling gback, and will es

Loss OF Life.
The Southern Pacific Railroads steamer

crew Of forty-three men, was driven ashore
two miles north OF Point Arena, California,

Five of the crew were drowned and ten

Arena. The Captain and twenty-seven men
were left clinging to the rigging, with slight

When the vessel struck an effort was made

The second boat, in command Of Chief En-

Cuba's Captain-General lngloriousIy
Retires From the Field.
NO DECISIVE BLOW WAS STRUCK.

Insurgents. Jubilant Over the Spanish
Leaders Return to Havana---He Says
He Came to Settle Pressing Financial
Matters---He Slew Many Head Of Cat
tie, But Saw Nothing OF the Rebels.
HAVANA, Cuba CBy Cable. The une1pect-
ed and inglorious return OF Captain-Gen-
eral Weyler to Havana from Pinar del Rio,
without bringing about an engagement OF
any Importance with Maceo, Is causing IN
impression that there will shortly be i'm
portant changes in the situation. The cor
respondent In the field OF LA Lucha," had
an interview with the Captain-General pre-
vious to the latter's arrival here, and his
statements indicate that he may not resume
personal charge In Pinar del Rio.
81 do not know where Maceo Is. 1t Is
certain that did not meet him In either the
hills or the dales OF Pinar del Rio. Despite
their bravado the rebels never fight, but al
ways flee upon the approach Of our troops.
Such Is the statement OF Captain-General
Weyler concerning the Cuban leader whom
he went out to crush. 1t Is practically an
acknowledgment Of defeat.
But General Weyler accomplished some
thing during his journeyinGs IN the Pinar
del Rio Province, for he added, with much
satisfaction, that the supplies OF cattle that
had been obtained by the insurgents are
disappearing. the troops having captured
and destroyed all that they saw. The mill
tary combinations planned by him, he said,
had resulted as be had expected. All these
combinations were not finished, but there
would be much less to do at the end OF the
year.
Every effort has been made to learn the
true reasons for the return last nj int to Ha-
vana OF Captain General Weyler from the
Province of Pinar del Bio, but nothing def
mite has been announced.
All that is known Is that the General came
here on the gunboat Legazpi from Mar!el,
accompanied by only one adjutant. The
rest of his st ff came by rail from Artemisa.
General Weyler has made no official dec
laration concerning the condition Of affairs
In the Province OF Plnar del Rio. The press
comments on the return OF the Captain-Gen-
eral are very guarded, as Is natural under
the strict censorship exercised here. It Is
rumored that he will soon return to the field.
One report has II that the chief reason for
his return to Havana was pressing Govern.
ment business, which demanded his personal
attention. However, nothing really definite
Is known and events In the near future ore
anxiously awaited. -..
Some dissatisfaction Is quietly expressed,
even by loyalsts. that General Weyler, after
his long preparations to infict crushing
blow on Maceo, should now come back to the
capital without even having caught sight
OF the main body Of the rebels.
The Cuban sympathizers arc jubilant, be-
lieving that General Weyler's return sig.
nalizes the abandonment OF his personal
leadership Of the campaign ...
