Insurgents Discrsdit WeyIer Again.

The capture by the Cuban insurgents
of the town of Victoria de Las Tunas
by Generals Garcia and Rabe and the
consequent control of the province of
Santiago de Cuba by the insurgents
cannot be pleasant reading for the
friends of Weyler in Spain and the
Azcarraga ministry,
The capture is a very important one.
Notwithstanding the probability that
the insurgents viii evacuate when the
Spanish mass their troops for assault
upon the town the mere fact that the
Cubans were able to capture it despite
it's garrison of 300 behind Notifications
which had recently been greatly
strengthened exposes the falsity of
Weyler's boasts. Not only is the revo-
luton not at an end but it is seen to
be capable of one of the boldest and
most successful attempts yet made.

frequent reports. Those We're suburbs

which band of insurgents would ride
scattering the Spaniards, levying
tribute, burning a few houses and
scattering in all directions before pu~-
suit could he possible. This report of
the assault upon Victoria de Las
Tunas, and it is said to be confirmed
at time of writing, tells how there was
sharp fighting. and in other parts OF
the province, which has been wrenched
from Weyler, there was such fighting
as some have been unwilling to concede
the insurgents capable of.
This stroke of the insurgents may
have an effect upon the politics in
Spain at this critical time.
