HAVANA, via Key West, July b.--''To con

will require zoe, 900 soldiers moro ard It will
cost $500, % 600. II Spain can afford all this.
then we may make the campaign regardless of
the yellow fever and tho heat. If not we will
have to walt until next winter"
These are the words of Gen. Arolas, tho
former military commander of the Jucaro-
Moron trocha, and now on Gen. Weyler's staf.
They were uttered in conversation with some
other Spanish Generals, and have excited con-
siderable comment here.
The 10000 men that Canovas offers to Wey-
Ter are little better than no men at all under
the present circumstances. From tho Jucaro-
Moron trooha to the east end Of Cuba $4,000
Spanish soldiers arc dying In the hospitals OF
yellow fever. Tho heat 10 terribly intense. This
IN considered to be the hottest summer Cuba
has had In twelty years. Moreover. the Cubans
In the Orient are very well provided with ammu-
milton and are prepared TO stand against Q
larger force than Gen. Weyfer is bringing
The result Of this situation 10 that another
year of war In the island Is absolutely certain II
Spain can raise the money for the maintenance
OF her army during that period.

This article Is considered by the uncompro
missing Spaniards as q shameful confession
that Spain cannot conquer the revolution b.
force Of arms. La Union Constituciondl re
plies to the above article that the Cubans Il
arms are very different from the few Autono
mists In the country, In that they will neve
submit to the ideas Of the Autonomists.
Tho failure OF Gen. Weyler in Orient has ex
asperated the Spaniards and every partisan O
Spain here seems to be losing confidence in tn
triumph Of her arms.
