Washington, November 24.-The post

fifty or sixty presidential post masters
throughout the country, charged with
violating the order of the President pro-
hibiting them from taking an active
part in politics.
Most of these cases are In the West,
particularly Illinois and Iowa. It's pro-
bable that the post master general will
not take action against all the defenders,
but deal only with the most fragrant
cases. The others will be left for the
hatchet of. the post master general ap-
pointed for Mckinley. The terms OF

'For Reasons Best Known to Himself''

the Most Valid Excuse for Retreat From
Soldiers From Cuba,
Washington, November 24-No ad-
vices, official or private, have reached
Washington which shed any light upon
the reported return of Gen. Weyler to
Havana. 1t Is believed that Gen. Wey-
ler's recent tour of investigation satisfied
him that the Cuban insurgents have re-
sorted to the old plan of scattering in
small detachments through the provinces
occupied by them and they were not oc-
cupying fortified position and ready to
give Spanish troops battle In force as
Gen. Weyler expected.
This being the case, and the line of
communication still being open, it is be-
lieved that Gen. Weyler returned to
Havana for reasons best known to him
self. One explanation of his return is
found in the early arrival in Cuba of tho
lasta detachment of 20, 600 troops shipped
from Spain some days ago.
EAThese troops sailed principally from
Cadiz, Barcelona and Valencia and the
first of the number will reach Havana
early next week. The usual amount of
rain which has fallen during the past
few weeks has affected active operations
in the field. No doubt is expressed by
those familiar with the situation in Cuba
that Gen. Weyler will, within the next
six weeks, make good his promise of
driving the detached groups Of insurgents
from their strongholds into the open
country where conflict with the Spanish
troops cannot be avoided.
