yeIte are TO the effect that Unless Cap
lam General Weyler is very careful his

ttous eud before it lis begun. Weyler has
gone TO Mariel. and from that point pro
poses to begin his campaign 1t is re.
llabiy stated in Havana that Maoeo has
fun information as to Weylers plans, and
has prepared to foil the Spanish COM
uandcr According to reports, Maceo has
placed 5000 men in ambush a few miles
from Mariel. and an attempt will be made
to lure Neyler into the trap, Dynamite
mines nave been prepared along Wcyicrg
line of march, ana the terrible dynamite
guns that have already wrought such havoc
in the Spanish ranks are to tie used by the
men in ambush.
Adyices to cuban leaders hero state that
Maceo has determined to make a desperate
effort to capture or Kill Weyler, as HI be-
lievos that either event would speedily
end the war. That the Spanish forces
suffered greatly in the recent battles III
