WEYlER'S INHU NAN POLICY.
Means to Ruin Business and Murder the Pee
pie Of Fair Cuba.

Key West Fla. Jan. 26.-Advices
from Havana say that the conflict be-
tween the sugar planters and Weyler
continues with more bitterness than
ever. Weyler is trying to prevent the
Planters from grinding, without stating
cfiicially. and the planters are boldly
harvesting their crop. Only about a
dozen sugar estates are grinding in the
several provinces of the island, but
many others are making preparations
therefor. and Weyler. it is declared, has
given orders to his troops to burn all
he cane fields on their march and es-
pecially on those estates whose owners
have declared their intention to grind
in spite of his orders. for instances
The Constancia,' belonging to the
Marquis of Apesetguia, who has de-
parted for Spain to complain against
Weyler.
The consequence is that the princi-
pal sugar belt of the island. the Glen
fuegos district. is said to he ablaze.
Matanzas and Havana districts are on
fire. Over 100000 "arrobas" or
quarters of cane were burned in Pillar
estate near Artemasa, two days ago.
In the "Constancia" case the direct
sufferers will be Americans. who con-
troll great interest in that property
represented by s750,O0O loaned on the
same by an American syndicate.
Weyler continues on his march with
cut deviating from the highways and
railroad lines. Despite the strong
column marching with him. he appar-
entity fears to enter the UNEMPLOYED
regions. AS he burns and destroys
everything in his passage. he illumin-
ates his way and the rebels can easily
avoid any encounters with his solid
column.
The arrests and killing of the I'M
fortunate citizens of Guanabacoa con-
tinue. and as Fordeviela has prohibited
their removal to Havana or other
places. their situation can easily be
understood. Persons who have visited
the town say it presents shocking
appearance. All the houses are closed
and the ladies fear to look out of the
windows. as the soldiers will surely in
suit them; few citizens walk around
the streets: and only armed soldiers,
soiled and repulsive, are to be SEEM
Rumors Of the landing of expeditions
have been afloat in Havana, for the
last few days. One is said to have
landed in Pinar del Rio and another
around Manzanilla. The exact location
was not ascertained.
The forces under Weyler's command
number $4,000 infantry. a cavalry regi-
ment and % pieces of artillery.

held to be the opinion of the commit
tee. after a long discussion, that the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty was still oper-

unanimous in the opinion that the gen.
