cruits.
All regular troops that can be spared
from Pinar del Rio, the western trocha,
Havana, Matanzas, and Santa Clara
districts are being concentrated at
Sancti Spiritus, where Weyier has di-
rected the immediate organization Of
fourteen columns, at the head Of which
he will try to drive Gomez across the
new trocha and invade Puerto Principe
province. where Calixto Garcia's forces
are now said TO be massing. Weyler ex-
poets a great pitched battle when he
meets Garcia, the result of which may
be the turning point in the war. Should

McKinley's offers of Intervention. If
Spain wins and Garcia be routed. Wey-
ler will assume a magnanimous role,
proclaim general amnesty and offer the
Cubans complete autonomy and full
